Established in 2017, Bolthole Retreats markets and lets some of the finest luxury holiday properties throughout the Cotswolds, taking in the counties of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, South Warwickshire and Worcestershire and parts of Wiltshire and Bath and northeast Somerset in the south.

We pride ourselves on the quality and location of our properties, offering our guests the perfect home-away-from-home experience in these beautiful areas of the UK.

Vine Cottage is the perfect bolthole. It is charming and welcoming and jam-packed with character. Lying on pretty Sheep Street, amongst a tangle of higgledy-piggledy Cotswold stone houses, this is the quintessential Cotswold escape. It’s perfectly suited for a couple looking for a countryside break with wonderful walks and great places to eat on the doorstep. Charlbury has a direct rail service to London and Oxford so you can even leave the car behind. There’s a cosy living room, stylish galley kitchen and two bedrooms. Tucked in behind is a peaceful courtyard, perfect for peaceful evening drinks and alfresco dining. Step inside and you’ll find a warm and inviting living room with a wood-burner effect gas fire set in the original fireplace. This leads to the inner hall and a beautifully fitted bathroom with a shower, and a stylish galley kitchen which is equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay. The breakfast bar is a welcome space for meals, reading the morning papers or even catching up with work. Upstairs there is a spacious king-size bedroom with views over the street beyond and a delightful single, which is ideal for children.
