Frostmere Cottage

West Oxfordshire's rolling countryside around Chipping Norton draws people seeking Cotswolds space without the bustle of village centres. Frostmere Cottage sits within a historic country estate, one of a small cluster of luxury holiday homes set across grounds that feel genuinely removed. The main house was originally the stable groom's quarters, since converted into a proper family base with three bedrooms and two bathrooms sleeping five.

Inside, you get a full self-catering setup with everything needed for proper cooking, plus wifi and heating included. The cottage opens onto a substantial private garden, giving you your own outdoor territory. Beyond that is access to shared estate amenities: indoor swimming pool, gym, spa facilities, maintained gardens and play areas for children. One dog is welcome to come along. Parking sits on site, and the whole cottage is yours alone from arrival after 4pm until departure by 10am. No smoking inside.

This works well for families wanting a slower pace and access to facilities without leaving the property, as well as for groups who want both privacy and the option of estate amenities close by. The location suits exploring the wider Cotswolds or simply settling into the grounds for a few days.
