Description
Summary
Woodside is a beautiful detached holiday home which sleeps 6+2 guests, in three bedrooms (with the +2 option being a double sofa bed in the snug), with two stylish bathrooms. The property has been recently refurbished to a high standard, with many modern facilities including wireless internet access, four TVs and a well-equipped kitchen.
Finished in a warm, contemporary style with a lovely stone fireplace in the living room and a variety of artwork adorning the walls, Woodside has been thoughtfully designed, with the open plan feel of the downstairs living space creating a sociable environment. There is a lovely large garden and off-street parking is available for up to three cars.
Location
Woodside is situated in Mickleton, a quiet village steeped in history with a wealth of beautiful architecture and an Iron Age hillfort at Meon Hill. This idyllic village benefits from having two popular country inns, a post office, traditional butcher, farm shop and an Anglican church. The Three Ways House Hotel is home to the renowned Pudding Club, a themed evening with a ‘Parade of Seven Puddings’ as the final course, a popular spot amongst national and international visitors.
Mickleton is situated in the North Cotswolds, at the bottom of the hill from Hidcote and Kiftsgate gardens. Owned by the National Trust, Hidcote is one of the best Arts and Crafts gardens in Britain, with a modest 10.5 acres to enjoy all year round. Surrounded by stunning countryside, there are many wonderful cycle routes and walking trails on Mickleton’s doorstep, as well as the popular Cotswold market towns of Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh and Broadway. Mickleton also benefits from being only approximately nine miles south of the famous Shakespearean town, Stratford-upon-Avon. Further afield destinations such as Warwick Castle and Oxford are also within easy reach.

The security deposit is payable prior to arrival at the property, via a bank transfer or a valid debit or credit card.

The maximum occupancy of the property is 6+2 guests, at any point during your stay (with the +2 option being a sofa bed in the snug).

Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by up to two additional infants.

For the comfort of future guests, we ask that the dog remains downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.

Photographs
In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.
