High Pump Cottage
Instantly recognisable by the original water pump in the front garden, High Pump Cottage is a gorgeous 17th-century Cotswold abode for four, in the pretty village of Ebrington. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the ‘wolds’ this is a walker’s paradise with footpaths leading in all directions. Filled with character and charm and plenty of original features, High Pump Cottage also boasts dreamy interiors, a wood-burning stove and a secret garden room, where you can relax, listen to music, or perhaps put pen to paper for your first novel, with this lovely escape as your muse. The highly regarded village pub is but a meander away.
Overview
Tucked away in the northern Cotswolds, where country lanes fringed with cow parsley and buttercups meander through impossibly pretty villages and sheep-filled fields, you’ll find Ebrington and High Pump Cottage. The garden path leads you past the original water pump to the front door and into a cottage that is both stylish and elegant yet still filled with character and charm. A wood-burning stove brings warmth on cooler days, whilst the beautiful, decked terrace is a place for lazy afternoons and outside dining.
The interior colour scheme of pale greys, creams and mocha ensures a feeling of light and space. Polished flagstones, exposed stone and beams are the star features of the elegant sitting room, along with a wood-burning stove. This in turn leads you through to the rear of the cottage where you’ll find a ground-floor shower room and a beautiful kitchen and dining area. It’s a gorgeous space and the epitome of a stylish English country cottage. Upstairs is equally delightful, with two bedrooms, a king-size and a double, and a second bathroom with a slipper bath.
Behind High Pump Cottage is a pretty cottage garden with a stunning deck and a stylish set of garden furniture, creating a very usable outside space. Relax with your morning coffee in the sunshine or enjoy alfresco dining as the sun sets. Hidden in the garden you’ll also find the garden room, a second living space for the cottage with comfortable seating, a desk and a wood-burning stove. If you can’t leave work behind this is an ideal spot. There is no allocated parking but on-street parking outside the cottage is freely available.
Ground Floor
Entrance Porch:The tiled floor of the porch is the ideal place to leave muddy boots, and there are two rows of coat hooks for wet weather gear.
Sitting Room:
This picture-perfect room has flagstone floors, ceiling beams and a wood-burning stove in the original fireplace. A comfy three-seater sofa, matching armchair and an upholstered ottoman beneath the window offers plenty of seating and there’s a Smart TV with streaming services for entertainment. Bookshelves in the chimney alcoves provide a little light reading. It’s a room that just invites you to relax and unwind.
Bathroom:
The first of the two bathrooms is a ground-floor shower room with a step-in shower cubicle, a rainfall shower and hand-held shower head, WC and hand basin and a large wall mirror. There is plenty of shelving to store toiletries.
Kitchen:
With pale units, white walls, a window and double doors to the garden, the kitchen is a light and airy room. Everything practical you could need is neatly housed behind the doors including a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. There is a fabulous retro-style fridge freezer, toaster, and kettle and a wooden dining table with seating for four.
First Floor
Bedroom One:Delicate shades of dark cream, palest grey and white make this a peaceful and restful room. A large, low window overlooks the pretty front garden, and the king-size bed is made up with crisp white linen and soft throws. Two double wardrobes allow plenty of storage, the Lloyd Loom chair is a place to relax and there's also a chest of drawers which can double as a dressing table and a wall-mounted TV.
Bathroom:
The first-floor bathroom has a charming slipper bath for leisurely soaks, there is a central mixer tap with a handheld shower, WC and hand basin. Natural light flows in from the roof light. There’s a mirrored cabinet where you can store toiletries.
Bedroom Two:
There is a shallow step into bedroom two. This peaceful double bedroom overlooks the rear garden to the trees beyond. The vaulted ceiling and traditional radiator add character and there’s a Velux window letting in even more light. Storage comes in the form of a half-height wardrobe with drawers.
Outside
To the front of High Pump Cottage is a charming garden with the original water pump taking pride of place. The rear garden is accessed via the kitchen. Closest to the house is a stylish decked area with an elegant outside dining set. It’s a really lovely space for relaxing and just listening to the sounds of birdsong. Beyond this is the garden room and then beyond this, the rest of the enclosed garden, which is laid to lawn and where you will find the BBQ. There is no allocated parking for the cottage but on-street parking is freely available at the front of the property.

Beautiful cottage and location, spotless cottage, and lovely garden.

Great place to stay in the Cotswolds
We loved our stay here, the cottage was spotless and had everything you could need. Even complete with a welcome hamper of local produce. It’s located well to get out and visit the Cotswolds. We had two cars and had no problem parking on the street outside the cottage. Thank you for a lovely stay, would definitely recommend!

The cottage is gorgeous, charming, and luxurious. It was the most perfect place for us to stay for our friends' wedding in Chipping Campden. The host Selina was really accommodating and clearly put so much effort into making it nice for us. We loved being there and only wish we could have stayed longer!
Emily
This property is gorgeous, absolutely everything about this house inside and out is stunning. The picturesque view at the front of the property and all the flowers capture people as they walk past. The house, decor and layout is also highly thought of, then leading into the back garden which just is wow on its own. The house is cosy, has all amenities needed and has made for a fabulous weekend as a home away from home. There’s nothing I can fault about this house and we would gladly return.

Pump Cottage is the very definition of a Cotswolds dream. It was charming, clean, decorated nicely, and somehow even better than we expected!! The cottage is spacious, beautifully maintained, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay one of the most memorable places! The setting is pure magic. Colourful wild flowers, massive roses and hydrangeas were in full bloom both on the property and throughout the village. The thatched roofs and winding paths through the neighbourhood were so picturesque, they looked like they belonged on the front of a puzzle box. Selina went above and beyond. We arrived to find a stunning arrangement of local goodies that made us feel immediately welcomed. She was also incredibly responsive and proactive, anticipating everything we might need without us having to ask. The backyard was a peaceful, beautifully landscaped and parking was very easy. Being just a 2-minute walk from the Ebrington Arms was a plus as well. I can’t recommend Selina and Pump Cottage more highly. A perfect stay in a perfect place.

Fairytale Stay at High Pump Cottage
We had the loveliest stay at High Pump Cottage! Such considerate and fine details added at every turn in the house and probably the cleanest rental I've ever stayed at. We mostly lounged on the patio set in the back garden enjoying the birds and the flowers. Even fired up the BBQ on our last night! The village is delightful as well, and a very short walk to the Ebrington Arms. Chipping Campden is also close by and very charming. A perfect Cotswolds holiday! Will definitely be back.

We stayed in High Pump Cottage for the weekend. What an amazing place. It is situated in the beautiful and tranquil village of Ebrington, which is about a 15 minute drive from the main Cotswold towns. The cottage is beautiful inside. Immaculately clean with beautiful furnishings. We loved all the extra little touches and the very generous welcome hamper. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms really clean with great shower and bath. We had amazing weather whilst we were there , so were able to sit outside in the garden in the beautiful peaceful surroundings and just chill. The cottage is in such a great place to explore the Cotswolds. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay here- it really was a beautiful place.

Ticks so many boxes for a perfect stay!
My wife and I stayed in Pump Cottage for a couple of nights and recommend it very highly.
As others will not doubt highlight: it is very picturesque, there’s a lovely and impressive welcome box and it is well appointed.
My wife has MS and was delighted at other aspects that aren’t always at the the level seen at Pump Cottage such as the level of cleanliness, the comfort not only of the beds, but the sofa too. There are also the thoughtful touches such as the handle attached to the wall on the turn of the narrow stairs, which made it easier for her to negotiate going upstairs.
Selina is an excellent host - quick to reply to the one message we had to send.
Despite my wife’s condition we very much hope to stay at Pump Cottage again to enjoy more of the Cotswolds.

Outstanding holiday cottage. The owners provide an exception level of comfort and care for their guests. We particularly appreciated the festive decorations.
I’m sure we will return.

Cosy and comfortable
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Pump cottage. On arrival, the cottage was welcoming, exceptionally clean with a beautiful gift basket of goodies awaiting us. The bed was comfy with lovely cotton sheets - the complimentary pillow spray was a lovely, thoughtful addition. The bathrooms were spotless and featured gorgeous fluffy towels (and plenty of hot water). Overall, our stay was relaxing and comfortable with all of our needs catered for - we couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back!

Pump Cottage, Ebrington
We had the most incredible time at Pump Cottage! From the moment we walked in, we were struck by how beautifully and tastefully the cottage was both decorated and furnished and by the cleanliness and tidiness throughout; the wonderful hamper left for us by Selina was a really thoughtful touch. Selina was so accommodating, friendly and easy to contact. Ebrington itself is so pretty and nearby Chipping Campden is stunning. We will definitely be returning to the Cotswolds and to stay in Pump Cottage, maybe in the spring or summer and take advantage of the beautiful garden at the back. Thank you for a really memorable weekend!
Maria Mezzullo
Fabulous stay!
Our stay in Pump Cottage was an absolute joy! The cottage is beautiful, warm and cosy and so clean. We were thrilled with the welcome pack left by Selina - full of treats (eggs, bread, biscuits, juice, crisps and even chocolate) and milk, butter and water in the fridge too - we felt thoroughly spoilt! The beds were very comfortable and gorgeous bed linen and the toiletries were an absolute treat. The cottage was full of lovely surprises!
We highly recommend the cottage and were only sorry we visited out of season and could not enjoy the outside seating area and garden room as well which looked gorgeous. Another good reason to book to come in Spring or the Summer. Can’t wait to return!
Jonathan Beresford
Wonderful stay in Cotswolds!
We had an amazing time staying in High Pump Cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and had some lovely goodies waiting for us as we arrived. We loved the wood burner and used it in the evenings. We found a lot of useful information about places to visit and eat. The cottage is located in a beautiful and peaceful village of Ebrington and very close to other beautiful places in Cotswolds. We would really love to go there again. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay and made our trip a very memorable one. Thank you very much

A relaxing break in a really lovely property
A fabulous cottage in a peaceful and picturesque village. Beautifully furnished and excellently well maintained, High Pump Cottage is definitely one of the nicest we've stayed in. The welcome hamper was a real treat and the garden is an absolute delight. Can't wait to visit again!
Margaret Mathews
Wonderful
Had a wonderful stay in this gorgeous cottage. The owners have thought of everything to ensure that their guests needs are all catered for and the welcome basket full of local produce and lovely autumn decorations were a fabulous touch. The location is great with a village pub and local farm shop close by and lots of walking and places to explore a short distance away too.

Fantastic stay
We had the most relaxing break at the lovely High Pump Cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and has everything you could need, as well as being immaculately clean! The cottage is very tastefully decorated and we loved the little autumnal decorations, it was a very nice touch! Ebrington is very pretty, plus parking was super easy and we always had a space right outside. We have already started recommending High Pump Cottage to family, and will definitely return ourselves!
Imogen Mathews
Idyllic cottage
A most beautiful cottage finished & decorated to a very high standard. We had good weather so really appreciated the various rear garden seating options. Ebrington is a very quiet village with a gorgeous friendly pub which serves delicious food. We are definitely returning to this perfect cottage next spring.
Alex Worthington

High Pump Cottage - you can't improve on perfection
From the time of arrival until our departure we felt so relaxed at High Pump Cottage.
The rooms are tastefully decorated and to a very high standard. Bathrooms and bedrooms are both very well equipped and so comfortable.
The kitchen and dining area is so welcoming that we dined in during our stay and enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the cottage.
We would certainly recommend High Pump Cottage and will return on a regular basis.

Immaculate Cottage
Our stay at High Pump was at the end of six weeks of travelling and it was by far the stand out accommodation of our trip.
The cottage is beautiful, immaculately presented, and spotlessly clean. The attention to detail throughout was second to none.
We loved the location and can’t wait to return.
Tracey Johns
A cosy cottage full of preatty details
This cottage was amazing. And we were pleasantly surprised to find it decorated for Christmas. We felt as we were in a Christmas movie.

Weekend in Ebrington
High Pump cottage is a beautiful little gem in the village of Ebrington. The cottage is so cosy and has everything you need. The decor beautiful, welcome basket and toiletries were an added bonus and a lovely surprise. We had a wonderful weekend.
The Ebrington Arm across the road is well worth a visit too.

Pump Cottage
Everything about this cottage was perfect, the owners have thought of everything for a totally relaxing stay, even leaving a welcome basket of groceries. The location of the cottage is ideal for visiting other villages in the Cotswolds. We will definitely be back.

An engagement to remember
Pump Cottage is just the most gorgeous place to stay in England. Set in the charming village of Ebrington, a stone's throw from the Ebrington Arms, and decked out with all the lovely little comforts you'd want - on either a cold winter's day or a hot summer's evening. My partner and I had a (surprise (to her)) engagement here and Selina (the owner of Pump Cottage) was absolutely brilliant in helping me to organise it - going way above and beyond. We arrived to the garden decorated with flowers, champagne, strawberries, balloons and she'd even organised the sun to be shining! Cannot overstate how amazing our stay was. 11/10 and we'll be coming back for sure.
Ben Phillips
Amazing Cottage
Pump cottage, once you locate it in the small village of Ebrington, meets and far exceeds expectations on a short term rental. The cottage is immaculate and welcoming, cozy and has everything you could think of and more. The space is very well laid out, so while a small cottage it feels larger and with good weather the outdoor sitting areas give wonderful extra garden space.
The local pub, Ebrington Arms, we’ll managed by Matt is a must for a good pint and meals. A short walk down Mays Lane takes you to Meat and Vegetable Matters, where you can buy excellent fresh local produce and stop at the cafe for a great coffee or lunch.
There are many walking paths taking you into the surrounding countryside and many beautiful villages within a 30 minute car drive in any direction.
A must stay in the Cotswolds.
