Washpool

If you are dreaming of a classic Cotswold escape with a contemporary twist, Washpool is an absolute gem. This beautiful stone property sits in the tiny hamlet of Upper Milton, just a short distance from Milton-under-Wychwood. It has been transformed from a traditional farm building into a stylish holiday home for four, blending original period features like exposed beams with modern luxury. It is a fantastic choice for two couples or a family looking for a high-quality base to explore the area.

Inside, the cottage feels light, airy, and incredibly welcoming. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, which is the real social hub of the home. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a Smeg fridge to a wine cooler and Nespresso machine, making self-catering a pleasure. This flows through to a comfortable living room with a wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy nights in. French doors open out onto the terrace, bringing the outside in on sunny days.

Upstairs, you will find two stunning bedrooms, both with their own en-suite bathrooms—a real luxury that ensures everyone has their own space. One room features a super-king bed, while the other offers a flexible zip/link bed that can be set up as a twin or super-king.

The outside space is just as special. The private, courtyard-style garden is surrounded by high stone walls, creating a secluded haven. You can enjoy alfresco meals at the table and chairs or relax in the wood-fired hot tub. As the property is situated on a small farm, you might even get a chance to meet some of the resident animals!

You are perfectly placed to discover the Cotswolds. There are endless walks right from your front door, and the village of Milton-under-Wychwood with its award-winning pub, The Hare, is just a short stroll away. Famous destinations like Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stow-on-the-Wold are all within a 15-minute drive. The owners, Anne and Mike, are renowned for their hospitality, often providing a delicious welcome pack with homemade scones to help you settle in.
