The Tollgate Inn closes January 2013 for temporary refurbishment but the Plough and Mill House do food and are in walking distance.

This cottage is home to me so I sometimes use it myself hence no online bookings but do enquire as I cant use it most of the year.

“BEAUTIFUL COSY COTTAGE IN A LOVELY VILLAGE, SUROUNDED BY WONDERFUL COUNTRYSIDE. LOOK NO FURTHER.” We had a wonderful stay at cosy cooks cottage, it was the coldest week of the year, (many years in fact!) complete with snow, but this made the warmth of the glorious log burner even more special to come home to after a lovely country walk. The cottage is set in a quiet corner of a beautiful sleepy village but with everything you could want within easy reach, a great little village shop only a few minutes away, a lovely country pub and only a short drive to Stow or Chipping Norton. Cooks cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped (it really is a cook's cottage!) this helps make it a real home from home retreat. We only ate out once at the Thai shire in Chipping Norton (fabulous food!) Most evenings we enjoyed cooking fresh local produce from Daylesford organic farm shop which is only a five minute drive or even better a 20 minute walk away (again excellent!) Sue the owner of the Cottage does absolutely everything she can to make sure your stay is as great as possible, The icing on the cake! Whether you want somewhere to lock yourself away for a week or somewhere to use as a base to explore the glorious surroundings you won't find better than Cooks Cottage. We are from Brockworth which is only a 50 minute drive away but it felt like we were a million miles from home. *one point to note is that the cottage does have a short but quite steep staircase so be careful if you're not steady on your feet or you're if like me and enjoy a few glasses or red with dinner!

“Cosy Cotswolds cottage in great location” Perfect little cottage in lovely Cotswold village location. Ideal for friends, couples or a small family. Located in a quiet road in village of Kingham. 5 mins walk to 2 lovely pubs and very well stocked village shop. Cottage is compact, but very homely and has all mod cons. Would highly recommend.

“English Village Perfection” Cook's Cottage was charming and very comfortable. Everything needed for a short or long stay was provided (except wash cloths!) the village of Kingham was delightful and a great home base for exploring the Cotswolds. I am so pleased with my choice of this cottage and would stay here again anytime. Communications with the winter in advance of the trip were helpful and timely. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

“Lovely cottage in Cotswolds ideal for Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon” We loved this small cottage situated in an idyllic village within easy reach of Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and the Cotswolds. There was no off street parking but plenty of on street spaces. The amenities were excellent including free wifi to use (vital for our two teenagers). The cottage was provided with all essentials e.g., bed sheets, towel, dishwasher tablets etc. Would recommend to anyone who wants to visit this beautiful part of England.

“A sweet cottage in a beautiful location” We thought the cottage was really sweet and Sue had certainly thought of everything we could possibly need to make ourselves at home! We also found Kingham to be a charming village and a great location as so many villages were in easy reach to visit. It was our first proper visit to the Cotswolds and was overwhelmed by how beautiful and unspoilt the area really is. Definitely somewhere we shall be visiting again in the future!

“Fantastic cottage, clean, excellent facilities and in the perfect location!” We stayed here over the jubilee weekend and had a fantastic time, even if the weather didn't play ball! Cook's Cottage was very clean and the facilities were excellent! The village where it was situated was absolutely beautiful and serviced by really excellent gastro pubs. There is plenty to do in Oxfordshire and we enjoyed the walks, scenery, local pubs and rounded our week off with a BBQ at Cook's Cottage. Terrific value for money and the owner was very helpful, we will be returning when we can.

“Lovely cottage in a delightful Cotswold village” Lovely cosy cottage in a delightful Cotswold village. An ideal centre for visiting many and varied attractions. Car is essential although there is a railway station with a connecting bus service. The cottage has free wifi and is very well appointed. The village shop can supply most needs but there is a Sainsburys in Chipping Norton and a Tesco at Stow on the Wold only a few minutes drive in both cases. The Tollgate Inn in the village does very good food and there are other eating places but as the Tollgate was just round the corner we did not try them. There are many places of interest within and hour or so's drive including the WWT at Slimbridge, the Batsford Arboretum and Falconry centre, the Cotswold Wildlife Park and the lovely village of Bourton on the Water with it's model village and Birdland. We found the people in Kingham to be very friendly and helpful and, indeed had one of the best and relaxing holidays in years. The only minor downsides are that the stairs are very steep with narrow treads, not recommended for people with disabilities or young children and the mobile phone reception in the cottage is patchy at best, but these are fairly minor points.. The owner's handbook is excellent with lots of information to help you have a wonderful time.

“The most superb cottage I have ever rented.” We stayed at Cook's cottage with 4 adults (elderly) and found it absolutely fabulous. Tea was waiting for us to put on upon arrival (with fresh milk!) and the cottage was truly lovely and in perfect, clean shape. Everything, really everything one could think of was provided. Don't worry about the stairs, apart from being just slighly higher steps, it is no problem at all. Sue cares for her guests before and after the visit and has eveything arranged perfectly. Can't wait to get back some time soon!

“Great little cottage in lovely Cotswolds village” Quaint little cottage in the lovely village of Kingham. Two great pubs and a local shop nearby. Close to all the tourist hotspots in the North Cotswolds. Cottage had everything that a family of four would require. Would definitely stay again.

“Perfect cottage in perfect location” We have just returned from a long weekend break at Cooks Cottage in Kingham, near Chipping Norton and I cannot praise the property highly enough. The property is absolutely wonderful and the owner could not be more helpful from first enquiry to after the stay. It is really lovely, very well equipped, extremely comfortable and an extremely high standard. Being detached means you are not disturbed by and noise from neighbours and you can really chill. There's a lovely log burning stove which we would have used, but we had lovely weather and were warm as toast in the cottage without it. The area is beautiful - Chipping Norton, Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold, Burford and Moreton on Marsh are all within 5 - 10 miles from the property and all worth a trip out. Kingham is a lovely village - the village store is like an Aladin's Cave stocking everything you need. There are two pubs in the village - I can thoroughly recommend The Tollgate, the food is lovely and the owners (including their dog Guinness) are really friendly and make you feel very welcome. We've stayed in self-catering properties all over the UK and France and this is by far the best we have ever stayed in. Our one regret was having to leave!!

“Idyllic weekend” The fantastic location and surrounding area could only be surpassed by the quality of the cottage itself!! Every detail from the roaring log fire, charming period cottage features to a bottle of milk in the fridge upon arrival could not have been better. The accomodation was great with very decent sized rooms, quality fixtures and fittings in the bathroom/kitchen and amazing attention to detail. The surrounding village was wondefully quaint with lovely walks and very good pubs/eateries. I look forward to returning one day!

“I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone.” My partner and I stayed in Cooks Cottage over half term in cold old February but what a walm welcome awaited us and that was before we lit the log burner! Cooks Cottage has such a cosy atmosphere and we just felt so at home from the moment we arrived. We received loads of useful information from Sue before our trip - advice on practically anything one might need. The settees are comfortable and the kitchen has just about every utensil you can think of. The bed and pillows were also comfortable. The log burner is simply wonderful and logs are provided. We would definitely stay there again if we visit that locality again.

“Brilliant, wonderful, excellent!” Flew in from Aus, and drove to Cooks cottage. Perfectly positioned for visiting Oxford and Straford. Beautiful house, well equipped and cosy. Beds comfortable and snug. Local pubs are great for beer and food. A perfect base for visiting the area. The owner was kind, thoughtful and accommodating. We cannot wait to visit again! Cook's Cootage and the owner, made our pre-Xmas preparations a doddle. A perfect cottage break.

“charming warm cosy cottage” great location , very clean and well equipped. Lived up to and exceeded expectations

“An absolute gem!” The location could not be bettered in terms of being in a peaceful and picturesque Cotswold village with charm and character. The detached cottage ensures tranquility with all rooms tastefully presented and finished to a very high standard. The equipment provided is first class and exceptionally comprehensive throughout the cottage. The care and concern of the owner is obvious at every stage; from the first enquiry through to the booking and on to the actual stay with many thoughtful touches. We experienced a wonderful stay in Cook's Cottage and will hopefully return next year. The very helpful recommendations for walks, places to eat etc we found to be accurate and enhanced our stay in Kingham.

“Super little cottage” I stayed in Cooks cottage with my two young children. It had evrything we needed, and was clean, cosy and comfortable. It's in a quiet spot in Kingham and the owners were very helpful and accomodating. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted.
