Bruern Cottages
Property # 8995

National Winners of VisitBritain's Excellence in England Gold and Silver Awards for Self-Catering Holiday of the Year 1998 and 2003, Bruern Cottages are the finest self-catering properties, not just in the Cotswolds but in the whole of Great Britain.

The twelve cottages, in the heart of the Cotswolds, were converted from the Victorian stable yard and outbuildings of Bruern Abbey.

They are stylish, luxurious and unusually well equipped, country houses in miniature, with open fires and four poster beds as well as state-of-the-art bathrooms and kitchens. They sleep two to ten. Each has a private enclosed terrace and many have their own secluded gardens.

In the beautifully landscaped communal gardens and grounds there is tennis, croquet and swimming. Children have their own special play area with a two storey playhouse, a climbing frame and an indoor playroom. There are wonderful wildlife walks in the neighbouring Nature Reserve at Foxholes and along the Oxfordshire Way, which runs through Bruern. Fly-fishing and riding are available near at hand and Bruern adjoins a challenging golf course.

Nearby

Walking & Hiking
The Gloucestershire Way is a 100 mile long walk, mainly on footpaths and bridleways. It starts at the historic border crossing at Chepstow and finishes at the Abbey at Tewkesbury.

Historic Homes & Gardens
Sudeley Castle (01242 602308) Open all year round.
This was once home to Henry VIII’s sixth (and surviving) queen, Katherine Parr, following her marriage to Sir Thomas Seymour after Henry’s death, and also to Lady Jane Grey, whose six days as Queen rank as the shortest reign in English history.

Museums & Galleries
Bruern is fortunate to be within twenty miles of Oxford, whose colleges and chapels, most of which are open to visitors, boast one of the finest concentrations of mediaeval European architecture to be found anywhere.

Pubs & Restaurants
There is a wealth of these within about five miles of Bruern. “Pubs and Restaurants” tend in fact to be one and the same, since all the pubs worth visiting in the area serve food, and almost all the restaurants are inns.
