Old Fox Cottage
A beautifully thatched and beamed Cotswold cottage that’s immaculately and tastefully furnished and feels homely, loved and cherished. Old Fox Cottage is the quintessential chocolate-box Cotswold cottage that we’ve all surely dreamt of staying in. Sleeping four in a comfortable double master bedroom with king size bed and twin bedroom, it’s perfect for a family, two couples or one couple who like a little extra room. Centrally located in the historic village of Bretforton, it’s an ideal base to explore surrounding Cotswold villages – many of which are within a 10-minute drive – and super convenient if you’re invited to a wedding or function at the world-famous Fleece Inn, just a few steps away.
Overview
Bretforton is a country village idyll with its village green, playing field, historic church and fabulous pub the Fleece Inn. Old Fox Cottage is nestled at its heart, with a charming, thatched roof and Tiffany-blue front door. Make sure you spot the fox making his way across the roof! This delightful property sets the tone for your stay here.
Special details add to the charm of this cottage which has been carefully curated to fit its setting. Exposed beams are mixed with French styled accessories in peaceful blues and calm creams letting you relax here. The sitting room offers a choice of ways to spend your time with a games console, comfortable sofas and a TV. A traditional kitchen has everything you need and the dining table is surrounded by garden views from the conservatory. Each bedroom surrounds you in comfort with the master bedroom sitting in the oldest part of the cottage. The sun-trap garden is wonderfully private with a BBQ and dining area. Ivy weaves across the walls and it has been well-designed with a mix of planting adding colour and fragrance.
What makes this cottage additionally attractive is the village of Bretforton itself, which is a friendly, welcoming place best demonstrated by its community shop, stocked with essential items and tasty goodies. Similarly, the Fleece Inn is a warm and friendly place with an impressive calendar of events and activities to enjoy while sampling their hearty menu and fine wines and beers. Even if you never venture further than Bretforton, you’ll have a great stay.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall:
Enter through the partially glazed front door straight into the light-filled Entrance Hall, which combines as a snug vestibule (great for sinking into the comfy armchairs while pulling off boots and coats) and practical room with a cupboard for coats and wellies and a helpful umbrella stand. With its wooden floor, cream tongue-and-groove panelling and original beams, the Entrance Hall offers a warm welcome.
The Living Room:
The Tiffany blue and cream theme continues into this lovely room, tastefully furnished with two sumptuous armchairs and a large double sofa. The most striking feature in here is the inglenook fireplace with original beam work. Within the fireplace is a wood-effect electric burner. The Living Room is all ready for a cosy night in, where you can enjoy the large, flat-screen digital TV with Blu Ray DVD player and a wealth of films. Alternatively, there’s a Wii console with games if you’re feeling more energetic. An Emma Bridgwater DAB radio with iPod docking station on the dresser is set up for playing your own playlist or a podcast.
The Kitchen:
The beautiful and immaculate country-cottage kitchen has been carefully designed so that every appliance you’ll need for your stay is there, but cleverly hidden away to provide everything you need in a small space; the only obvious appliance is the gas hob with built-in oven and extractor hood above. However, an integral slimline Hotpoint dishwasher and an integral fridge can be found beside the cooker, whilst behind an ingenious bifold cupboard you’ll find the bread bin, Kenwood microwave, and Dualit toaster and kettle. The wall units house everything you’ll need to cater for your group. There’s also an iron under the large ceramic sink and a high chair, picnic basket and vacuum in the under-stair cupboard.
Utility/Laundry Room:
A compact space where you’ll find the Hotpoint combined washing machine/dryer, a small library of books, rechargeable tea light candles, and storage cupboards housing cleaning materials and the boiler.
Family Bathroom:
As with the rest of the cottage, this room is impeccably and tastefully appointed with a limestone floor and travertine wall tiles. Relax and soak away stresses in the large roll top bath that sits under the small private window overlooking the side path. Or enjoy a rainfall shower in the separate elevated double-shower enclosure. The bathroom is thoughtfully stocked with all the shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath you could need – so don’t weigh your luggage down with those heavy items.
Conservatory:
Streaming with bright light (even on an overcast day), the heated Dining Conservatory is a great living space: by day it’s an extra living and eating space where you’ll sit to enjoy your breakfasts and lunches and access the patio garden and BBQ outside. By night, it can be transformed into an intimate dining space with shimmering lighting.
First Floor
Bedroom One:
The oldest part of the cottage, the master double bedroom has a cosy yet luxurious feel, tucked under the beams and eaves. From the iron-frame king-size bedstead, you can enjoy private views through the traditional cottage windows. The cushioned window seat is a wonderful place to sit and while away some relaxation time.
The bedroom has a lovely full-length cheval mirror, a deep clothes closet, a hairdryer, and a digital flat-screen TV for bedtime viewing.
Bedroom Two:
A delightful room with two large, single beds, fluffy bed linen with bed throws, original beams, and a window overlooking a flat roof to the patio beyond. Ideal for children, this room would also suit two adults because of its L-shaped layout, providing individual privacy in a shared space.
Outside
The area to the rear of the cottage has been laid to patio and is reached either through the side gate and path or through the back door from the Dining Conservatory. In this clever us of space you’ll find a lovely, ivy-walled sun trap. The main patio area is up two stone steps where there’s a large ‘Outback’ gas BBQ, a rattan-style patio table with four matching chairs to one side, and two rattan-style sofas with an all-weather coffee table on the other.
For a property in the heart of a village, this outside space is marvellously private being surrounded by high walls. (Note: one small window overlooks the area to one side but seems rarely used.)

The Bretforton Community Shop and Café sells a wide range of essential items and is a two-minute walk away. Alongside the general groceries there are daily deliveries of fresh bread, milk, fruit, and vegetables, along with Outdoor Pig pork pies, sausage rolls and meat pies, local handmade cakes and an excellent selection of reasonably priced wine and beer. They also stock the local Spot Loggins ice cream. Nearby are a few excellent local farm shops: The Chadbury Farm Shop in Evesham, Ellerden Farm Shop (WR11 8LU) and Castle Nurseries (WR11 7RN).
For a larger shop, there is a well-stocked Co-op Food Shop in Honeybourne (2.4 miles), or head to Evesham (4 miles) where there is a Tesco, Waitrose, M&S Food Hall, Lidl, and ALDI.

The owners recommend the brisk walk from Broadway’s High Street to Broadway Tower, designed in 1799 for the sixth Earl and Countess of Coventry, where your hard up-hill efforts are rewarded by magnificent views said to stretch to up to 12 counties wide. For those keen to continue their Cotswold explorations on foot, you can follow the Cotswold Way towards Snowshill on a 7-mile round trip, where the beautiful 15th century Snowshill Manor is well-worth a visit at the half-way point; as is a hard-earned rest stop at the Snowshill Arms. Alternatively, there are many footpaths around Bretforton including one right from the door. Head down Bridge Street and at the bridge turn left onto Back Lane. Before the bend by the farm there is a public footpath sign in front of you. Go through the gate following the path round to the road where you can either go straight ahead or turn right. Turn right and follow the road towards the bend, take the track in front of you and continue over the cattle grid. Just before you reach Allens Barn there is footpath sign on your right, follow this path back to the village.

- Broadway Tower
- Broadway Museum and Art Gallery

Quaint Cotswold Village with the perfect cottage to stay in
This is our second time staying in Old Fox Cottage. The last time was in 2019 with our two daughters. We loved it and wanted to return. The thatched roof cottage is clean and well decorated. Cozy hearth room with a warm electric fireplace, inviting sunroom , instant hot water for the shower and tub, comfortable bed. The town is the quintessential Cotswold town with a great historic pub called the Fleece Inn.
Cons:
Primary bedroom bed, although comfortable, sags a bit. Shower has a good supply of hot water, but is small, has minimal receptacles to plug in and charge devices.

The loveliest of stays.
As a woman traveling alone my comfort level is always a top priority. I want to feel safe sleeping alone in the property but also feel like the space is a warm and welcoming place to rest and retreat. This property Fox Cottage was All those things. I cooked most of my meals in the perfect little kitchen and enjoyed quiet evenings in the lounge area. The bedroom felt like a cozy nest. I slept peacefully. The logistics like parking, location, getting in and out with key were all easy and excellent. I greatly appreciated having a washer... it really allowed me to lighten what clothes I traveled with. All around excellent stay and exceptional service.

From the moment we stepped inside, we felt at peace. A spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, elegant space. Every feature has been carefully considered and everything you could possibly need has been provided. Tucked up in the beautiful soft bed, between quality linens, looking out the ancient windows felt like heaven. The village was magical - from the community store to the thousand year old church to the Inn. We ate at The Fleece Inn on both nights and it was fabulous. Could not recommend this cottage highly enough.
Emma
Great country hideaway
We loved our stay at Fox cottage, perfect for our family of 4. Very cosy & quiet in the village with a superb old pub across the road serving excellent food. Brilliant base for exploring the surrounding Cotswold villages.

Cozy and lovely cottage
We fell in love with this cottage the moment we opened the door. It is decorated in a lovely way with all kinds of details that make it look "vintage". It is very cozy, with comfortable armchairs, cushions, rugs, etc. The main bedroom is adorable. It has a good-sized wardrobe, sufficient for holiday clothes. We didn't use the second bedroom, but it is nice for the kids (with several books for them to read). The kitchen has all the appliances you may need, and the conservatory (dining room) is amazing (the only thing I would point out is that when it is sunny, it can be a little challenging to eat there). The garden was a little bit overgrown, but we had some nice evenings there.
We loved the cottage and felt completely at home. We highly recommend it. When we come back to the Cotswolds, this is the place we will return to.

My favourite accomodation on my 8 weeks Europe Vacation. Everything was absolutely perfect.

Lovely Relaxing Week
Our week long stay at the Old Fox came at the end of a travel intensive UK visit. My sister joined my husband and I, so we were three adults. The cottage had the old thatched roof charm we were hoping for, modernized enough to make for a very comfortable stay. It was a bit of a steep climb up to the bedrooms, but that was expected for the cottage charm. Though the bathroom is on the main level it has a lovely shower and soaking tub and a good sized medicine cabinet to store all of our toiletries in.
The very popular Fleece Inn pub is a very short walk out the front door. The disadvantage is that the overflow parking during lunch and dinner hours fills up the block in front of the cottage and we had to park down the street and make a couple of trips unloading the car. They also seem to have nightly events so one hears music and joyful voices until 10:30 or so. This was not a problem for us, but something some might want to be aware of. If you are planning to eat a dinner or two there, reservations need to be made two to three days in advance.
We found the little local grocery (just a very short walk away) to be delightful and they had most everything we needed for breakfast, lunch and dinners. We also brought home a few treasures found in the Ark, a small antique shop practically next door.
Though small, we relaxed in pretty much every seating area/room available (including outside). The conservatory was our favorite, with lots of light and garden views and bird watching. For those curious about the layout, as I was, the front door enters into a small sitting room, with two comfortable chairs. The TV/living room is off to the left. The entry room includes a closet perfect for coats. The kitchen is straight through the entry hall, with the stairs up to the bedrooms to the left and the bathroom and laundry area just beyond the stairs. The conservatory and garden door are just beyond the kitchen.
The master bedroom has an amazing closet space, and two small windows with lovely views.
The twin bedroom is quite tiny, two adults may struggle to share it, but probably perfect for children, and it includes a lovely little collection of children’s books.
If you have sunny weather, don’t miss the outside area of the Fleece Inn. It’s a great little park in its own right, and includes a tiny little lending library.

Very warm and cosy cottage with all amenities needed for a comfortable stay in the Cotswolds!

A Perfect Cottage
We booked Old Fox Cottage to celebrate the Christmas holidays. Communication before our arrival was fantastic and provided easy directions to the cottage. Once we entered we were thrilled to see the cottage had been decorated for the holidays including Christmas crackers. We were also supplied with tea, milk, bread, butter and cake. Just what we needed after our journey. The village itself is very cute and the pub across the square is delicious. We were also provided with some excellent suggestions on additional places to eat. The village is very conveniently located to explore the best of the Cotswolds. The cottage is tiny but did not feel cramped. The kitchen is well stocked for any cooking you want. We had a wonderful time on our holiday and look forward to coming back
Jennifer Ottley
Excellent
Great place to spend time to chill out or get out and about in the Cotswolds, would highly recommend staying there.

Honeymoon at Old Fox Cottage
We stayed at Old Fox Cottage for our honeymoon and all I can say is that it was perfect in every way!
The cottage itself is beautiful and sits in an idyllic location where we could enjoy many areas of the Cotswolds at our leisure.
It’s beautifully presented with many personal touches that makes you feel relaxed and almost home from home.
Many thanks for the wonderful memories.

Fantastic little cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely little cottage. Everything was picture perfect, comfortable and spotless. The village was very peaceful and we particularly loved the pub (The Fleece Inn). We definitely will be back!
Clementine Latron
Fabulous cottage!
We loved staying in this cottage, it is across the road from an amazing pub in a small village. It is very quiet and every window has a great outlook over trees and pretty streetscapes. The conservatory is beautiful and looks into the backyard which is very private and picturesque.
The beds are all comfortable and the house is warm and toasty. The kitchen has everything you could wish for to cook simply or more elaborately while on holidays.
Fox cottage has a homely vibe which we loved as we are not from the UK, it felt very English and quaint with loads of room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. I would stay here again.
Carla McLean
Old Fox cottage
Lovely cottage with a very comfortable bed. The cottage has a lovely garden, conservatory and the interior is furnished gorgeously. The added extras make staying in due to bad weather ensure you don't miss home at all. The village has a lovely old pub with great food and drinks which is only 60 paces away.

A lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed
We had a fantastic stay at Old Fox Cottage. The bed and bedding were super comfy. Parking was easy and pub was amazing. The shower was brilliant, the heating was quick/responsive. Nice touch that cake/milk/butter/bread were left for us on arrival too!

TLC
As you can see by your records we have stayed at Old Fox many many times over the last few years. Always lovely, well equipped. A little however... as we know the cottage well......it really is at the point now where it needs a really good deep clean . The skirting boards are quite dirty, the bathroom in particular and behind the toilet. The upholstery on the chairs in the sitting room is very stained and needs professional cleaning,as do the carpets,spillage stains on the rugs in the ,living room and conservatory. Needs a good hover round all the edges of all the rooms.
The bed is very very comfortable...but it has had the same valance sheet in all the times we have stayed....does question if it has ever been washed?..
The sun came out during our stay, the windows obviously haven't been cleaned for some time, worst ones are at the front of the cottage.
Lovely to have a dish washer in the kitchen...but during our weeks stay which is usual..why only 5 dish wash tablets provided...very strange...good job we eat out every day..so we do very little washing up.
Would I stay again..of course...
Cindy Bone
Lovely, cosy cottage.
Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting. So comfortable with everything provided. Our stay was too short and went much too fast. We hope to come back again.

A pleasant week in the Cotswolds
We spent a very enjoyable week in Old Fox Cottage. The location is ideal for exploring the nearby towns and villages. The Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped.

An amazing cottage with everything you need. If I have to give a negative it would be better pillows for the bedrooms.

Our second visit to Old Fox Cottage
We love the cottage, it’s like a home from home and very comfortable. This was our second visit in six months so that probably says it all! Thanks so much for a lovely stay in a gorgeous cottage with friendly villagers and a great pub within 50 steps! We will be back again!
Kim Reynolds
Old fox cottage
A really amazing cottage right next to a national trust Pub that serves great food and drink, couldnt of asked for any more a great stay and I'm sure we will be back in future.
Nicholas Bagnall
Brilliant stay at a great location!
We booked Fox Cottage last minute (on the day of arrival) and felt very fortunate to have our booking accepted. This didn't take away from how clean and tidy the place was with a few essentials (including cake) here for us on arrival.
We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Cotswolds and where better to stay than a quintessential cottage such as this.
Very thoughtful touches with tasteful decoration it made the ideal spot for a proposal ... She said YES!
Would love to come back again and relive the special memories that we made here.
Paul Gunderson
A perfect home-away-from-home
Old Fox Cottage is one of our favourite family getaway destinations. We have visited multiple times with our two boys and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage for short or long stays. Adam and Lois are the perfect hosts, outfitting the cottage with all the amenities needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The village is charming and everything is a short walk away, including The Fleece Inn and the Bretforton Community Shop. We cannot wait to visit again!

What a great little cottage. Clean, tidy and everything you could need for a lovely break. Perfectly placed to visit all the great Cotswold villages.

A cosy cottage with lots of character in a pretty Cotswold village
We had a lovely week in this very attractive and comfortable cottage. It is in a great location, as we were able to venture into Warwickshire and Oxfordshire as well as the Cotswolds. We had some delicious meals in the very atmospheric NT pub over the road.
Elizabeth Edwards
A magical cottage
We have stayed in many cottages but Old Fox cottage is number one on our list! It’s a home from home in a lovely village. It was great to have the pub and community shop so close by too. We will definitely be back!
Peter Reynolds
Wonderful stay
We had a short break in September, and the cottage was beautiful and cosy and is exactly as seen in the photos. It is incredibly well equipped for any length of stay and there has been a lot of thought put into its restoration. Bretforton is a small village and is an ideal quiet base from which to explore the Cotswolds, and I’d recommend the Fleece Inn for beer and dinner! We will be back!
Alistair Armour
Lovely cottage!
Old Fox Cottage is lovely! The conservatory is great to eat in. Well stocked with Blurays etc. The highest mattress I have ever slept on, but very comfortable! Lots of toiletries provided. Only thing I needed that wasn't available was a serving spoon. Handy for the Fleece Inn. Didn't get the weather for sitting in the garden or for a BBQ.
Jacquie Acott
Unique little stay
Lovely little cottage in a beautiful setting with all the little touches. This property was very well equipped. It is a little tired in places and some of the furnishings are well loved shall we say, I found the single mattresses are not the most comfortable for an adult. My children loved playing with the large selection of games and it’s lovely to sit in the conservatory for a meal on a sunny evening.
Abigail Seward Seward
Stunning !
Old Fox Cottage is delightful. It is maintained throughout to a high standard. Nothing is spared...everything provided for a cosy and comfortable stay. The decor and furnishings are just stunning with many quirky features.
The cottage is set in the beautiful village of Bretforton close to the breathtaking surrounding villages and landmarks in the Cotswolds.
We will definitely stay here again.
Sue Wade
A beautifully decorated wonderful home from home
I had read the fantastic reviews and so was confident that we would have a great time at Old Fox Cottage but the reality greatly surpassed my expectations! The cottage itself is absolutely stunning and the decor is marvellous! My children loved spotting all the little touches everywhere especially all the foxes!
We had everything we needed from bath bubbles for the kids to cake bread and milk for us which was just such a wonderful touch. I would re book in a heartbeat. Thanks you for a fabulous stay the only thing is I wish it had been longer!

Beautiful thatched cottage in Cotswold countryside
Old Fox cottage is a beautiful, character full building, like stepping back in time whilst still feeling modern and up to date. Tastefully decorated yet packed full of period features, and all the amenities that could be required, maybe though bring a fan if it's hot. The cottage is set in lovely little picture box village of Bretforton in the Cotswolds surrounded by history,with the National Trust Fleece Inn pub literally a stones throw from your door. A wonderful base to visit much of what this beautiful part of the country has to offer, with many lovely places within a few miles. Great hosts, a beautiful place to stay and so much to enjoy. We had a wonderful break and would definitely recommend to all.
Peter Akins
Fox cottage
Lovely stay at a beautiful cottage. Lovely decor with some beautiful touches. Great little village with a lovely pub. Perfect location with some lovely villages. Had a problem with electrics and hot water. Called the owners they came out next day and sorted the problem. Enjoyed our 3 night stay, after a sad year was a great tonic,
Paul Earle
Best place to expend some days in the Cotswolds
We can not thank enough to Adam and Lois for making our stay at the Old Fox Cottage such a lovely and memorable experience. They are without any doubt the best hosts ever!
The cottage is super beautiful and very tastefully decorated, it is full of lovely touches, generously supplied and spotlessly clean. We felt like at home from the very first minute, to the point that we decided to extend our holidays for another week!!!!
We absolutely recommend the Old Fox Cottage, our stay there was like a dream come true!!

Cozy cottage in middle of Bretforton
Cozy, quaint cottage in the picturesque village of Bretforton. There is also friendly pub opposite to the property offering delivery.
Well-equipped kitchen and overall cozy vibe - fully decorated for Christmas.

A secret gem.....
Old Fox Cottage was just what my little family of three needed after a crazy few months in 2020. The cottage is everything it looks from the online pictures and more; cozy, welcoming, spotless & well equipped. The location was perfect for exploring this beautiful part of the country and I agree with an earlier review that it was tempting to not give feedback and keep this little cottage a well kept secret! Thank you to the owners for giving such thought and care and sharing their little gem with others.

A wonderful weekend
We absolutely loved our stay at Old Fox Hall Cottage. It’s in a beautiful spot and the cottage itself is just perfect. Really well equipped and beautifully furnished with great attention to detail. The garden is a lovely sun trap for a g&t in the sunshine! Proximity to the pub is also worth a mention, pizzas are the best!
John Martin
Amazing quarantine at the Old fox Cottage
We stayed in Bretforton for two weeks, since we had to quarantine after entering the UK. We didn't get bored at all, we cooked a lot in the nice kitchen, we enjoyed playing Wii, doing some puzzles that they had there. We also read some of the book that they had in the cottage, and enjoyed the BBQ outside. The cottage was so clean, so confortable, they even had some robes for us. The location of course is amazing, a few step from the Fleece Inn, and from many public footpaths that bring you through the fields around Bretforton. We had an amazing stay at the Old fox Cottage and would stay there again with no hesitation. Also it was really easy to find a parking spot after getting groceries. And the little community shop in the village was providing every essentials.

What a find....
Almost not wanting to write a review....as this cottage is probably the best we have stayed in. Not sure if I want to share!! We visit the Cotswolds at least twice a year and always stay in a different cottage as they are not quite perfect. Either tired, damp,dirty,uncomfortable cheap bed..I could go on. On opening the front door of Old Fox Cottage, we were met with a lovely fresh smell of a very well kept cottage, everything clean and neat and even a welcome hamper. Loads of space ,seperate eating area and a great bathroom the icing on the cake a truly comfortable bed!!.Thank you for a great break and we will be visiting again.
Cindy Bone
One of the best places we have stayed in the Cotswolds
We loved everything about Old Fox Cottage- clean, full of character and attention to detail. The beds were really comfortable and the whole house is a delight. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot to take a break and so close to The Fleece Inn which is full of character and amazing food. We will definitely be back.
Olivia Hall
Superb!
A lovely, well equipped and extremely comfortable cottage. The most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. Great location for exploring with The wonderful Fleece Inn a few paces away. Very generous Welcome boxes and a lovely bottle of Champagne sent to us for New Years Eve. Adam was great to communicate with and very helpful. Only downside would be there isn’t any Netflix as advertised. Would definitely return.
Guest
Lovely in every way
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay during our visit over Christmas to see family. The location was perfect and the attention to detail within the cottage was astounding. We never expected full Christmas decorations (even a tree!) but it made the holiday feel more like home as a result. The little touches were amazing, from provisions for a full English breakfast, a scrumptious tea cake, and of course a bottle of bubbly! Already looking forward to our next stay... perhaps in the summer so we can enjoy the cute garden. Thanks so much!

We had the pleasure of staying in Old Fox Cottage while visiting the UK for my nieces wedding and highly recommend it, we will definitely stay there again on our next trip home. The cottage is beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything you need. The National Trust Fleece Inn is a few steps away if you don't feel like cooking and its only a short drive to beautiful North Cotswold villages like Broadway and Chipping Campden.

Was Perfect!
Cottage was lovely. Thank you for the beautiful stay.
No negatives, other than we were a little unprepared that there wasnt a supply of toilet paper or dishwasher pods for our stay - just wasn't expecting it.
Would have been nice to have a couple more smaller serving bowls in kitchen. Just helpful comments for future. We made do no problem!
