Green Cottage is a self-contained cottage at the end of a quiet lane which ends in fields. It has been converted from a small barn in the large walled garden of the owners' house, itself a pretty eighteenth-century Cotswold stone building. The cottage is private and cannot be seen from the main house.

Green Cottage provides self-catering accommodation all on one floor. It sleeps four with a futon for a fifth person if required - we charge a bit more for this. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, and our guests often comment on its restful and home-like atmosphere.

On the question of length of stay and changeover days we are flexible, though we do prefer, if possible, to go from a Saturday to a Saturday. Part-weeks, therefore, are charged at a slightly higher rate than whole weeks: i.e. three nights are charged as for four, four nights as for five and so on.

You can find an interactive floor plan and more photographs on our website at www.oxtowns.co.uk/greencottage. As you can see from the floor plan and photographs, a spacious conservatory with futon opens into a large, light living room. Next to this is a fully fitted kitchen with dining area. Then there is a hall, which leads to a bathroom and two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a double bed (150x200cm), and the second has two single beds (each 90x190cm). The bathroom has a bath with wall-mounted shower.

Facilities include linen, towels and duvets, cooker and microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier, baby's cot and high chair, central heating, a wood-burning stove (an initial quantity of logs supplied), flat screen digital television and DVD player, radio/CD player, The cottage has wireless broadband internet connection. There is parking next to cottage, and a secluded garden area with table and chairs.

No pets and no smoking
