A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US.
Groom’s Cottage is a two bedroom detached cottage, located at the rear of the owners property. With views over the orchard, stable yard & paddock, the cottage offers beautifully and tastefully converted accommodation, ideal for couples or a small family. With an open plan layout the cottage is modern, but yet encompasses the style and uniqueness offered by the natural local beauty of the Cotswolds.
THE LOCATION
Groom’s Cottage is located in the beautiful and historic village of Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire. The parish of Minster Lovell itself is steeped in history and is split into three wards, Minster Lovell, Little Minster & Old Minster. Minster Lovell is home to the unique Charterville Allotments, which were founded by the Chartists in 1846–1850. The local pub The White Hart, a traditional British Pub, which has won awards for its cuisine, is a 2 minute drive or try the Horse & Radish, a fabulous restaurant and bar with far reaching views across the Windrush Valley.
Old & Little Minster are more in keeping with that traditional Cotswold Village, narrow lanes of thatched cottages & country gardens. Visit the picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, a 15th century Oxfordshire Manor House, which lies in a beautiful rural setting beside the River Windrush. Or visit The Old Swan, a quintessentially English Inn offering luxurious comfort and delicious menus created from the best of seasonal produce.
