Long Compton is situated in the beautiful Cotswolds in south Warwickshire close to the borders of both Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The village is located approximately half way between Oxford and Stratford upon Avon and is within easy reach of both. The church dates back to the 13th century, and the lychgate to the 17th century. Visit the award-winning pub, which was built as a coaching inn in 1748 and is situated only 300 yards from the cottage. For golfers, there are two excellent courses close by, and for horse riders, guests will find an excellent riding school. Bikes are available to hire from Morton-in-Marsh.
Only one mile away stands the ancient Rollright Stones, just waiting for you to explore, dating from around 2000BC. Long Compton is a walker’s paradise with the MacMillan Way passing by the village. Ashby Cottage is an ideal base to explore the beautiful Cotswolds villages and towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, Chipping Campden, Hook Norton, Moreton-in-Marsh, Broadway, Snowshill, Bourton on the water, Burford and Woodstock to name a few.
A little further away stands Blenheim Palace and Oxford to the south, and a 30-minutes’ drive north will take you to the famous, historical town of Stratford-upon-Avon, fondly known as Shakespeare country. There is a number of wonderful National Trust properties within an hour’s drive, including Baddesley Clinton, Charlcote Park and Snowshill Manor. Shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Caroline and Robin made us feel very welcome by including fresh flowers, homemade chocolate brownies, fresh milk and tea. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. The guide supplied before our visit was very detailed and included walks from the cottage that we particularly appreciated. Highly recommended.

The accommodation was spacious yet cosy, well appointed with its own car parking space.
The accommodation was spacious yet cosy, well appointed with its own car parking space. Very quiet. It was a 5 minute walk to the Red Lion pub where we had a great meal. Also the chocolate brownies left by the owner were lovely! Thank you

Great week.
Great week. We felt at home in this lovely cottage. We would have liked instructions for the microwave we found everything else. Loved the welcome pack.
