Sandown

Chipping Norton sits at the heart of the Cotswolds, surrounded by stone villages and rolling countryside. Sandown is a two-bedroom property within Bruern Holiday Cottages, a collection of homes set across landscaped grounds where guests have use of shared facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool, gym and games room.

The cottage sleeps four across two ensuite bedrooms—one with a king-size four-poster bed, the other with two single beds. Downstairs, an open-plan living space combines a sitting area with wood-burning fire, dining space and kitchen equipped for proper cooking. Bed linen, towels, wifi and heating are included, along with a welcome pack. The grounds offer a terrace with garden furniture and barbecue, and bikes are available by arrangement. There is a shared children's play area on site. No smoking throughout.

The location appeals equally to families and couples seeking a break with on-site leisure, or those wanting to explore nearby Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford. Arrive after 4pm, departing by 10am.
