In the eaves of the cottage, uncover the master bedroom of dreams with a Loaf super-king-size bed, a bewitching space straight from a storybook, with unique log beams and neutral interiors with olive green inflections.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Dillydoun:

We had the best trip at Dillydoun. The house itself is in a pretty little village that reminds me of small gingerbread houses. It was stunning. Lovely dog walks all around, we found a forrest walk only 5 min walk up the road. Our little girl loved all the horses and sheep around and she had a blast seing all the animals. The house itself is emaculate stunning interior clean and cosy. (The bath tubs) again my little girl loved having a big bubble bath in them.

The town of Burford is literally 5 minutes away so really easy.

My third booking with Boutique retreats and will always return.

Thanks so much!

Beautiful home in an excellent location. We loved coming home in the evenings after a day of exploring. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and and the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Wonderful cottage in the picturesque village of Little Barrington with a lovely pub just a 10 minute walk away. Perfect location for visiting all the main towns and villages in the Cotswolds. The cottage is tastefully decorated and clean with all modern amenities and utilities at your disposal. Definitely recommend this cottage for couples and families.
