The White Cottage holds a fabulous location in the sleepy village of Shilton, just two miles from the idyllic town of Burford. It makes the perfect base for families wishing to explore the wonderful Cotswolds with a wide range of the most popular towns, villages and attractions just a short car journey away.

The cottage has been beautifully and sympathetically upgraded and now boasts stylish interiors and furnishings while still retaining its original character and charm, with beamed ceilings and a cosy inglenook fireplace. The neutral colour scheme used throughout helps to create a relaxed feel, fantastic for those guests wishing to truly escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy this tranquil home. On the ground floor is the main living accommodation which comprises of a dining room, a modern fitted kitchen boasting all the necessary amenities a keen chef could possibly need, and three livings rooms, one of them a library, one with a wood burner, and a garden lounge with 180 degree views over the garden and village! Heading upstairs, guests will find the four gorgeous double bedrooms and two luxurious family bathrooms.

Outside, the secluded garden offers a lovely view over the adjoining meadow towards the ford. The terrace makes the perfect quiet spot to enjoy your morning coffee or spend a sunny evening dining al fresco with the whole family. 

The owners have won a number of awards for their responsible, ethical and sustainable approach to tourism. The cottage is sustainable due to their "small steps approach", from insulating the properties, installing underfloor heating, LED lighting, purchasing green electricity to composting and recycling.
