Lock Cottage

Always dreamed of staying in one of those pretty river-side cottages with a perfectly pruned garden? Lock Cottage is just that, the very epitome of a Thames-side cottage with ivy-clad walls, pruned shrubs and a rustic interior full of charm. Step inside to knobbly stone walls, wonky exposed beams and a roaring open fire built into a brick wall.

It has a small unfenced garden that overlooks the weir and open fields across from the river. Cross the bridge and hop onto the Thames Path for walks along the river. 

You’ll be on the fringes of The Cotswolds with the quaint old village of Burford just a 15 minutes’ drive north from here. South to the cottage is the Iron Age hill-fort, Badbury Hill, White Horse Hill and the Berkshire Downs.

Children: Due to the proximity of the river and weir, this cottage is not suitable for children under 12. 

Please note: This cottage has low ceilings and beams, and a low door leading from the kitchen to the garden. It has no shower - it has a hand-held shower attachment from the bath mixer taps.

Please note: The open field across the weir pool is open to the public and can be busy especially during school and bank holidays.

The Thames Path runs past the cottage which can also be busy.

Local fire brigades also use the weir field and pool for water rescue exercises on week days from time to time. This is in agreement with the National Trust.

Heating: Night storage heating is included. 

Garden: The cottage has a small, unfenced garden which overlooks the river and weir.

Parking: There is parking for one car approximately 20 metres from the cottage.

Fishing: Complimentary bank fishing tickets are provided within this cottage, allowing guests to fish in the surrounding area. Map information will be provided within the cottage. Guests will need to provide their own valid rod licence.
