Cotswolds B&B Accommodation
Cotswolds Cottage B&B








Yew Tree Cottage is a delightful Cotswolds stone cottage in a peaceful rural hamlet offering Bed & Breakfast accommodation in an unrivalled stretch of the English countryside.		 Luxury cottage B&B in the heart of the Cotswolds

We welcome B&B guests to Yew Tree Cottage in Turkdean in the heart of the Cotswolds - an ideal base for exploring this beautiful district.

This cottage B&B is a quintessential Cotswolds home providing every modern comfort in a very traditional setting.  A perfect 'cottage break'!

Teas in the pretty gardens in the Summer and open fires in the Winter ensure a warm welcome all year round.  Recently refurbished, Yew Tree Cottage provides new age comfort with old world charm. The emphasis is on an informal relaxed atmosphere and English home cooking with fresh home-baked breads and cakes and real local produce.

All in all, a beautiful Cotswolds B&B.




B&B Accommodation

B&B accommodation is provided in two double bedrooms.  One has an 'en-suite' bathroom, the other has a private bathroom, less than 1 yard (1m) from the bedroom door and both have 4' 6"-wide (137cm) double beds. Click here to see more of the rooms. The cottage is surrounded by gardens and is in a peaceful and tranquil setting. It has comfortable beamed bedrooms with modern new bathroom facilities and well-lit, pretty rooms.

Please do check out our listing on TripAdvisor for recent guests' reviews and comments. We're jolly pleased with them (well - with one notable and upsetting exception!)

 

Teas and Dinners
As well as traditional Cotswolds B&B we also enjoy producing kitchen suppers for guests who would prefer to stay at home some evenings. These may be traditional roasts, casseroles, or steak & kidney pie followed by hot choc puds. Click here for a sample menu, but don't hesitate to ask if there's something else you fancy.

Local pubs and restaurants cover just about every cuisine and price range imaginable. We have a listing of our local recommendations and links to those with websites.
Location
 Cotswolds B&B map

Trips to either Bourton or Stow can be supplemented by an almost infinite variety of meandering tours of our beautiful local villages.

Some distances to local towns, attractions and airports are shown in the table below.
 
Northleach 2½m/4km   Cirencester 12½m/20km   Heathrow Airport 77m/124km

Local Attractions and Activities

 This is excellent walking country with well-marked local paths as well as the longer-distance Cotswold, Macmillan, Diamond, Windrush, Gloucestershire and Warden’s Ways all in close proximity. Yew Tree Cottage is just 45 minutes walk from the local pub, or five minutes by car! (We find that guests quite often like to walk to the pub and get us to pick them up later.)  Or if you fancy taking a spin we have a couple of bikes that you are welcome to borrow.

Batsford, Hidcote and Kiftsgate Gardens are all close by. Antique hunting in both Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-the-Marsh can be particularly fruitful. Cirencester and Regency Cheltenham should not be missed and visits to the Cotswold Farm Park and the Roman Villa at Chedworth (NT) are popular too.

Day visits to Stratford-upon-Avon, Blenheim Palace, Warwick Castle and Oxford are all easy from Turkdean.  Overseas visitors often astonish us by including Stonehenge and Windsor in their itineraries too. Click here for a selection of local attractions that we hope might interest you.


Canine B&B

Cotswolds B&B puppiesYew Tree Cottage is currently home to two black labradors, Bee and a relatively new arrival, Bumble.  They are both exceptionally friendly and enjoy the company of guests, both human and canine - but if you are not keen on dogs, or if you are sadly afflicted by pet allergies, Yew Tree Cottage may not be the best place...

We don't allow dogs in bedrooms, but we do have a kennel "suite" where your dogs are very welcome to stay for some canine B&B too.
