About this property

Claytons Retreat - Cotswold Country Escape

  • Claytons Retreat comprises two beautiful cottages – Claytons Cottage and Claytons Hideaway which stand adjacent to one another on a stunning 40-acre farm estate in the sought-after village of Lower Oddington. Together they offer families or groups an exceptional escape, surrounded by country walks including down to the wonderful village pub. Close to top attractions like Stow-on-the-Wold, Daylesford Organic and Soho Farmhouse, they are the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds.

    Claytons Retreat is a picturesque country escape perfect for a family or group getaway in the Cotswolds. Set on a stunning 40-acre farm estate you can take long rambling dog walks or follow a bridle way to the renowned Daylesford Organic Farm Shop. Enjoy dinner and drinks at The Fox at Oddington, the local village pub and growing foodie destination also owned by Daylesford. Situated at the very heart of the Cotswolds, you will be perfectly placed to explore.

    Built from the honey-coloured stone synonymous with the Cotswolds, these charming cottages are adjacent to one another meaning families and groups can enjoy a getaway together, but also have privacy when desired. The spacious kitchen and living room at Claytons Cottage are fabulous spaces for everyone to gather for meals or sociable evenings, while the Hideaway's open-plan living and dining room with log-burner is a peaceful location for a couple to retreat to. With Claytons Cottage boasting a king-size and twin bedroom and the Hideaway providing a further king, all with their own en suites, the properties offer flexible sleeping arrangements.

    The highlight of Claytons Retreat are the extensive grounds including lawns and woodlands which children can explore, including visiting the resident chickens.
