About
Greenview Cottage looks over the green at Little Barrington, one of the Barringtons on the Windrush, three miles west of Burford, with the Fox by the river. StayCotswold, which lets it, describes an eighteenth-century, Grade II listed house with beams, stone floors and mullioned windows.
Downstairs are a sitting room with an inglenook and wood burner, a kitchen and dining room with a range cooker and a table for eight, a small library and a utility room below. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a four-poster king and an en-suite with a dressing room, the second has a king, and in the eaves are a twin and a beamed double. It sleeps seven, with no more than six adults.
Behind is an enclosed, tiered courtyard garden with seating and a charcoal barbecue, up stone steps. One medium-sized dog is welcome for £40 a booking, and a cot and high chair are available. Wi-Fi is fast, mobile signal is patchy, and there are steep stairs and low beams. StayCotswold lists two bathrooms, a ground-floor cloakroom, a dishwasher, a washing machine and tumble dryer, two smart TVs with a basic Sky package, and no smoking anywhere in the house, and says the smoke alarms sound only, with no visual signal, which may not suit guests with a serious hearing impairment. Check-in is from 5pm and check-out by 10am. The cottage has no website of its own and is let through StayCotswold and Expedia.
