Walnut Cottage

The perfect place to gather with friends to celebrate a 50th birthday - so warm and welcoming, comfortable and stylish. Charlotte could not have been more accommodating. Cinnamon buns from Blake's Kitchen in nearby Clanfield are highly recommended. We'd love to return some day!

Beautiful large cottage within a few minutes walk of a lovely village in Oxfordshire. Very comfortable, well equipped, warm ( Aga in kitchen) and beautifully furnished. Small and very pretty garden but big enough for small children to play in. The owner was extremely helpful and attentive. We had a wonderful long weekend there. ( 6 adults and 2 small children, 5 and 2).

7 of us stayed in Walnut Cottage to celebrate a 70th birthday and had the most wonderful time. The cottage was even better than the pictures show and the kitchen fantastically equipped. We enjoyed the sunny garden for breakfasts, lunches and evening drinks and had a very special birthday dinner at the Double Red Duke (a 5 minute drive away but also just a 20 minute stroll home along the main road for those who want to enjoy the impressive wine list). Very comfortable beds and a real home-from-home feel; Charlotte was very friendly and contactable (not that we needed anything)!

A group of 6 of us old friends have just spent two nights in Charlotte’s charming cottage. It was so comfortable, tastefully decorated and the most amazing base for our reunion visit to the Cotswolds. The pub recommendations were great. All in all we felt privileged to spend time in her home and she was incredibly helpful and kind

What a darling cottage, beautifully decorated, with the most comfortable beds ever! Safe, private, English country garden and a big generously equipped kitchen. Charlotte is the perfect host to communicate with and Bampton is a dream to wander around. Waitrose got a bit lost trying to find us but that is easily overcome if one uses the ‘what3words’ directions Charlotte provides. And finally - the birdsong in that area is incredible! A really lovely place to stay!

8 of us aged 2-60 had the most wonderful stay at Walnut Cottage. Beautifully stylish yet comfortable to feel relaxed and at home. Charlotte couldn’t do enough to help us whilst planning our trip and was in contact during our stay. We visited several of her restaurant/pub recommendations which were all brilliant. We all can’t wait to go back!

There are not enough superlatives to describe Walnut cottage and its owner Charlotte! This is by far the most charming and cozy cottage that we’ve ever stayed in. Charlotte’s thoughtfulness and sense of style are everywhere to be seen. The garden is complete with outdoor furniture, a sun room, and beautiful landscaping such that you can truly escape from the world. From the brilliant red AGA stove to the lovely Emma Bridgewater tableware, everything is there for your every need. Downton Abbey fans will love Bampton. Can’t wait to come back again and again!

We had an absolute blast at Walnut Cottage, thank you so much Charlotte! We enjoyed the bbq, eating al fresco, chatting around the fireplace, hike down to the river and jazz night at The Duke! Everything was perfect - the cottage is soo cosy, thoughtfully set up and luxurious. I particularly liked all the Emma Bridgewater tableware, the Aesop toiletries and the scented candles. The welcome hamper was very welcome. The beds were unbelievably comfortable and we have never slept so well! We will be back! Thank you for a magical weekend and for being the perfect host, Charlotte.

Charlotte has brought real charm and style to this pretty cottage tucked away down a stream-edged lane, a short walk from the ancient wool village of Bampton, in the Thames valley. Now known as the Downton Abbey village it still retains its own individuality and traditions. This is a sweet well-equipped hideaway, close to lovely village and in real comfort, only emerging for long walks and great pubs.
