Kingham Coach House & Cottages

Bursting with bucolic charm

In gorgeous Kingham, England's best village according to Country Life readers, is Kingham Coach House and Cottages. Kingham comes with traditional village green trimmed with thatched cottages. Bursting with bucolic charm, this is the authentic Cotswolds. The Coach House and Cottages, sleeping 12-14, are equally charming, and enhanced by modern touches such as the stunning loft apartment, indoor heated swimming pool and steam room.  Outside there are five acres of beautiful gardens complete with a tennis court.

Switch off the phone, banish the emails and wander over to Michelin Bib-Gourmand-winning gastro-pub The Kingham Plough for some sea vegetables or foraged fungi. Stroll to Daylesford, the smartest farm shop in England.  For an overdose of honeyed limestone, duckponds and wisteria, try nearby Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford and Chipping Norton.
