Our aim is to enable guests to have the opportunity to enjoy authentic Cotswold experiences, from the Cotswold experts, in a lovely Cotswold property that suits their needs.

Tachbrook is a charming, beautifully furnished and decorated, luxury, Grade II-listed cottage in the thriving Cotswold town of Charlbury. The cottage sleeps 4 guests across one ensuite king-size bedroom and one twin bedroom and has a family bathroom. The cottage has a very well-equipped kitchen, beautiful dining room and an elegant living room with a woodburner in an inglenook fireplace. Outside there is a delightful, private patio and garden and, unusually for Charlbury, off-street and garage parking for two cars. At the front is an immaculate garden with a stone path leading to the front door. A drive and garage sit to the left-hand side, providing parking for two cars. To the right-hand side is a residential lane where guests will find a wooden gate that opens to the garden and patio – also accessible through the kitchen.

Charlbury is a small but lively and vibrant market town that has escaped the hordes of Cotswold tourists, making it a justifiable member of the ‘Undiscovered Cotswold Club’, yet it is only an hour from London and just 15 minutes’ drive from Soho Farmhouse. The town is full of historic 17th- and 18th-century buildings, has great pubs, independent shops, a local history museum and is in a beautiful setting on the meandering River Evenlode, with fabulous walks in every direction, including around the Charlbury Circular Route and along The Oxfordshire Way and The Cotswold Way.
