In Kingham

The Kingham Plough on the green opens daily from 8.30am and has rooms, and The Wild Rabbit, one of the Daylesford Stays, has pub rooms and village cottages. Both are a walk from the station.

Daylesford

Daylesford lets cottages in its village and on the farm, all within two miles of the farm shop, some of them dog-friendly. Its pub at Lower Oddington, The Fox, has rooms and a four-bedroom house across the road.

Nearby villages

The King's Head at Bledington has rooms in the inn and a courtyard, free parking and EV charging, and is on the car-free walk from Kingham station. The Feathered Nest at Nether Westcote has four rooms and a cottage in a former malt house, and closes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and The Swan at Ascott-under-Wychwood has eleven rooms and welcomes dogs in the bedrooms.

From your door

The walk of about 3.7 miles by the Evenlode to Bledington starts at the station. Daylesford Farm, with its farm shop, the Trough and the Old Spot, is about 2 miles away, and Stow-on-the-Wold about 5 miles.

Getting here

Kingham station is on GWR's Cotswold Line, about 80 minutes from London Paddington, with 140 parking spaces. No regular bus serves the village (the Villager community bus passes the station turn on Thursdays only), so outings beyond walking distance need a taxi or a car. For other bases, see where to stay in the Cotswolds.

Eating

The Wild Rabbit serves dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, and the Kingham Plough opens every day. At Daylesford, the farm's restaurants, the Trough among them, hold a Michelin Green Star and the Old Spot serves walk-in lunches. The King's Head at Bledington has EV charging for drivers, and the Swan at Ascott provides beds and bowls for visiting dogs.
