Deep in the Oxfordshire countryside, tucked away off a quiet country road that leads into Charlbury, The Fold is a gorgeous barn conversion offering a peaceful escape in a truly lovely setting. The simplicity of the pale stone exterior belies a thoughtful interior design that melds traditional features with a contemporary style, ensuring the most comfortable of stays. The Fold sleeps four guests in two charming bedrooms, boasts a sunny terrace overlooking the adjacent woodland and has a tangle of footpaths from the door, it’s also dog friendly. With the vibrant town of Charlbury just a mile away, this delightful bolthole offers everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay in the Cotswolds.

Highly recommend

Had a really lovely stay at the Fold with my partner and dog. Very clean and well kept. Plenty of room with open plan kitchen living area. Short countryside walk into Charlbury town.

The Fold is just the right property for a stay in the Cotswolds. It's spacious, very well equipped and comfortable, with high ceilings and under-floor heating. The house is neatly placed with its own short driveway off the one for the main house and backs on to woodland. It's a 10- minute stroll into Charlbury.



A hidden gem

What a fantastic find The Fold has been!
We stayed here during a long weekend in the Cotswolds. Conveniently located between Chipping Norton and Blenheim Palace, The Fold is only a stone's throw away from Charlbury, home of two fabulous new pubs / restaurants, The Bull and The Bell. We had dinner at the latter with two small kids and had a lovely time here, highly recommended.
The converted barn itself is stunning, beds were super comfy and the spacious bathroom boasts a large double bath, perfect to relax after a day exploring the beautiful nearby countryside. There's also a lovely little terrace to the side of the property which we took advantage off for breakfasts outside in an unseasonably warm October weekend.

All in all a fantastic time. Thank you Laura and Bolthole Retreats. We loved it.

We really enjoyed our few days here and it was a great base to explore the Cotswolds. The house was very comfortable and welcoming. One issue was It was difficult to manage our dog in the garden from wanting to explore further afield! Some containment would be helpful and a little more privacy. Overall a lovely place.



Happy guests

We had a wonderful 4 days staying at The Fold, a lovely quiet setting in the grounds of a large house. Great spot for exploring the area.

Cottage feels very new and clean, everything you could need is provided, the beds are ridiculously comfortable and don’t get me started on the bath tub!

Owners were very quick to respond when we requested a high chair too.

Thanks Laura & Jonathan!




Beautifully decorated, warm welcome, and relaxing stay

We stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect.

We received a kind and friendly welcome, with a sweet note and flowers on the table. When we messaged we received quick and friendly replies, we were even given the heads up about a hot air balloon landing. I felt it was family friendly and would like to return.

The place was clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had all the utensils needed, although we didn't see a microwave. The coffee machine was a great treat and the kids enjoyed babyccinos. The place was really clean and well furnished. There is outdoor seating area, with a door from one of the bedrooms. A nice and quiet place to enjoy lunch and or dinner.

Location wise; it was a short journey to most the places we wanted to see- Bleinham Palace, and Cogges Farm. We went into Witney, which was an easy journey. I really recommend using the 3 words app to find them.

Parking right by the door made for easy packing and unpacking.




Wonderful stay in the Costwolds

We had the most wonderful time at the Fold, close by to all the famous villages to visit in the Cotswolds.
The place is comfortable, pristine and, well-equipped.
Great place to come after a long day walking ng and exploring.

We will be back!




Perfect stay

By far one of the best stays I have ever had. Booked for a surprise birthday weekend away fro my girlfriend and girlfriend parents. We all absolutely loved it and could not recommend it more. Beautiful location, beautiful building. Zero Complaints
