2 Old Turnpike Cottages
Sitting in the picturesque village of Middle Barton, just a short drive from Chipping Norton and the exclusive Soho Farmhouse lies this quintessential, dog-friendly Cotswold Cottage offering a luxurious country escape. Built from creamy local stone and topped with a traditional thatched roof this newly renovated, semi-detached cottage, boasting a hot tub, blends historic charm with stylish, modern living.
Step inside this contemporary compact cottage to discover a sitting-room that exudes warmth and character. Stone floors, exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace with a gas wood-burner create a cosy ambiance, while the newly renovated contemporary kitchen is both sleek and practical - perfect for entertaining or for relaxed evenings in. Well-equipped, with luxury touches such as a wine cooler and coffee machine, this lovely compact kitchen is a delightful place to enjoy rustling up delicious meals, maybe using local ingredients.

The beds are dressed in lovely linens and fluffy duvets for ultimate comfort. You will enjoy snuggling down for a good night's sleep after a fun-packed day. The chic shower-room completes the upstairs accommodation, offering modern luxury in a traditional setting.
Outside, a large private garden invites you to unwind, your four-legged friends are welcome too, but no garden is fully secure from Houdini dogs! Enjoy al fresco dining on the raised seating-area, or relax in the hot tub on the patio, ideal after a day exploring the rolling Cotswold countryside. There is some road noise.

Customer reviews
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mrs Frith
In the description it states that there is some road noise, this is a complete understatement. There is almost constant traffic, which is also heightened by the fact that the cottage sits at the bottom of a hill & so all headlights illuminate the bedrooms, maybe the use of black out blinds would be appropriate! Also, I appreciate that because of the cottage location, there will be wildlife, however I would prefer to not share the house with it. On two out of the three nights the noise was so bad from something scurrying around either in the roof or in the walls and it was impossible to sleep. In conclusion, if you are looking for a peaceful break I would not recommend this cottage.
Mrs Leonard
A well appointed and cozy cottage. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the stove in the sitting room. Small = cozy and quaint when it is well done.
While there is some road noise as mentioned in the description, the location near many of the best Cotswold villages and pubs more than made up for it. We hope to return.
Mr Thompson
We had a lovely short stay at 2, Turnpike Cottages. The cottage was very clean, welcoming and had everything needed for a comfortable relaxing holiday. The hot tub was especially welcome after a full day sightseeing. It is in a great location with Blenheim and Oxford only a short drive away. We would certainly love to visit again.
Mrs Edwards-Pickett
This is the first time we have used classic cottages therefore although we did not find this cottage acceptable due to the extremely uncomfortable beds cramped upstairs rooms and shower room . The noise due to the position of the cottage next to the road. We would not stay here again and we would look more closely at your cottages before booking again
