Epsom Cottage is one of the renowned Bruern Cottages in Oxfordshire — a charming former groom’s cottage set around a courtyard in the heart of the Cotswolds. Sleeping five, it blends classic country style with access to Bruern’s award-winning gardens, spa and indoor pool.
Epsom Cottage stands opposite its sister cottage, Goodwood, across Bruern’s central courtyard. Originally built for the estate’s stable grooms, it now offers a refined yet comfortable base within one of the Cotswolds’ most established cottage collections.
The heart of the cottage is a generous 19-foot square drawing and dining room, filled with light from windows on three sides and centred around an open fire. The atmosphere is classic country house — relaxed, warm and thoughtfully furnished.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, making family meals easy and informal. Upstairs, the master bedroom features an antique queen-size four-poster bed and an en-suite shower room. A twin bedroom and a charming single bedroom with its own four-poster bed and washstand complete the accommodation, making the cottage ideal for families.
Throughout, interiors reflect Bruern’s hallmark style: traditional fabrics, comfortable furnishings and a sense of understated English charm.
Epsom Cottage has its own large garden with a mature walnut tree and a paved terrace beneath a vine-covered pergola — a sheltered spot for outdoor dining or quiet afternoons. Beyond the private garden lie four acres of award-winning landscaped grounds bordered by the River Evenlode.
Guests have shared access to Bruern’s spa facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool, gym and treatment rooms, along with a tennis court, games room and extensive children’s play areas.
Bruern Cottages sit in the Evenlode Valley in Oxfordshire, surrounded by classic Cotswold countryside. The setting is peaceful yet well placed for exploring nearby villages and market towns, with wider attractions across the Cotswolds within easy reach.
