Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, exactly as the pictures show. Ideal central location close to several gastro pubs and local stores. Only 15 minutes from Soho Farmhouse. Would highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to go back. ##### Andrew B.

It’s so beautifully designed, the beds are supremely comfy, the shower’s amazing. Just love it! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 19 Dec 2023 #### Simply Ideal The location, comfort, and feel of the cottage was everything we were hoping for. What a superb location as well, just a stones throw away from one of the Cotswolds’ best pubs, The Bull. Will be returning and would highly recommend! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine M. 19 Jul 2025 #### Lovely stay Brown’s Cottage is a pretty cottage, beautifully decorated. The beds were all very comfortable (although the third bedroom was tiny), with fans provided as the weather was very warm. It’s just a few steps away from the fabulous Bull pub and well stocked Co-Op and Deli. The outside area was appreciated, and we sat there with a drink before dinner. Resident’s Permit Holder parking has just recently been introduced, so the instructions provided for guest parking were incorrect. Guests are unable to park on the road anywhere near the cottage - it’s either in the public car park (which is free), but only for a maximum of 12 hours. Or road parking some distance away. I think the instructions need to be altered so guests are aware before arrival. ##### Catherine M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea G. 9 Oct 2023 #### Lovely holiday cottage in Charlbury Really enjoyed our stay at Brown’s cottage: it was well furnished and the beds were super comfy. The only downsides were the dryer did not work which was very challenging trying to dry washing and parking could be very hard, but I guess that is the nature of period cottages! ##### Andrea G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Trish B. 3 Jul 2023 #### A short, but sweet stay in a lovely cottage Two friends and myself really enjoyed our stay at Browns Cottage. It is very comfortable and well appointed. Charlbury is a small, pretty Cotswolds town. We had a fabulous meal in the garden of the newly renovated Bull Inn which is a few steps away from the cottage. ##### Trish B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 19 Oct 2024 #### A great stay We enjoyed our stay at Browns Cottage and the lovely Charlbury. We had an initial issue with the heating but would like to thank Debbie who helped to sort it out and, in particular, Darryl who rang and talked us through the process - whilst on his honeymoon!! Sorry to disturb you, Darryl but thanks again.

Beds were very comfortable with beautiful linen. Parking was a challenge but we did not move our cars over our two day stay, as we did a lovely walk from the cottage door - the Charlbury circular, via Cornbury Park and the pub at Finstock (about 5 miles, easy). The Bull pub is a few yards away and we enjoyed a tasty meal on one night. ##### Catherine R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy B. 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Girls break for best friends 40th birthday A gorgeous cottage in the most amazing location - a stones throw from some lovely pubs.

Brown’s Cottage is the perfect retreat from London! The cottage is beautiful, clean, and so well-equipped. The village presents everything you need - a great pub, a cafe, a small grocery store, and a few really great walking paths. I’ve recommended the cottage over and over again to friends. It is simply the best! ##### Sarah D.

After an exciting Jubilee week in London, we came to the welcoming arms of Brown's Cottage. It was everything we imagined an English Countryside stay would be! The charming town of Charlbury was so very pleasant. The people we met were so welcoming! Needless to say, we did not want to leave this beautiful and well appointed cottage. We will dream of this vacation often! Thank you! ##### Y C. ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria S. 1 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short break in Charlbury Beautiful cosy cottage that has been thoughtfully decorated. Lovely comfy beds and tasteful country decor. Close to shops and Blenheim Palace. Please note that the free parking is, however, slightly misleading, as there is street parking if you can find a space. It’s very tight and not particularly easy to come by. One small car was manageable. ##### Victoria S.

It is a beautifully presented traditional cottage with modern conveniences - fast internet, Netflix, supermarket a few steps away. The only two things I would fix is to change the basin taps (having two confusing taps vs one - but at least they went into one mixer) and a better shower in the top bedroom (rather than a hand mixer over a bath). Otherwise it’s perfect. ##### Riaz S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcelle m. 8 Jul 2025 #### Brown’s Cottage Outstanding! We arrived from Canada for a wedding and family reunion! Brown’s Cottage is perfect for a stay in Charlbury! It is ideal for 2 couples or a family. The cottage is beautifully appointed and has everything you need! It is across the street from a Coop store that has everything you need. I filled the house with fresh flowers, wine and delicious baked goods! The fantastic deli and coffee shops are 1 block. The Bull Pub restaurant is at the corner. It was awarded best pub in UK 2025! Delicious dinner menu and outdoor seating. The Bell is also close and has pizza and a park in the back with separate service. Parking close to Brown’s Cottage was along park, otherwise very difficult due to permits only on the streets. I read all the reviews before I booked and it was beyond anything I was expecting! We stayed 6 days and didn’t want to leave!! Charlbury is beautiful and is easy by train from London. We had a car and explored the Cotswolds cities, towns and countryside!! Thank you to the owners who allow us to enjoy your beautiful home and to Bothole Retreats who provided excellent correspondence! ##### Marcelle m.

Unlike many places we have stayed in this cottage was better than the pictures on the website! It would be our dream little cottage to buy with a great number of pubs on the door step and a shop within walking distance. We did a few walks from the cottage and also drove a short way to his around Burford and the Upper and Lower Slaughters. Inside the cottage it was well appointed although there is no toilet no the ground floor which would be our only gripe. ##### Philip S.

Brown’s Cottage is a beautifully restored, uniquely and comfortably furnished home in a lovely Cotswold Village close to many of our favorite footpaths and gardens. Everything you might need is walking distance including the Charlbury train station. Nearby street parking was not an issue for us. Favorite gardens of at least 6 visited were Kiftsgate and Bourton House Garden as well as some of the private garden tours open for charity on select days. The Bull Inn was enjoying a soft opening during our stay and was quite delicious for an evening meal option steps from the cottage. ##### Evelyn R.

A big mistake; You can’t put your legs under the dining table. I forgot my earrings. Called and texted the host, but never did I get a reply! In the garden behind the Bell you can relax and drink cocktails and eat pizza. A hidden gem. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley B. 6 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Cottage We are a family of 5 and just stayed at Brown’s cottage. It is just as it appears in photos. Very clean, perfectly configured and beautifully decorated. It was fully equipped with comfortable beds and with all the elements we needed for the perfect stay. The cottage is conveniently situated in town. The property manager Deborah was excellent at communication and very accommodating. We would not hesitate to stay at Brown’s cottage again the next time we are in the area! ##### Shirley B.
