Charming riverside cottage. Opposite the famous Arlington Row!

A Grade II–listed riverside cottage in the heart of Bibury

Welcome to Sackville House, a beautifully preserved 17th‑century, Grade II–listed cottage set just steps from the River Coln and a short stroll from Arlington Row, the most photographed cottages in England. This is cosy Cotswold charm at its finest — exposed stone, timber beams, cottage windows and centuries-old character, blended with thoughtful modern touches that make your stay warm, comfortable and deeply relaxing.

Perfect for couples, small families, friends’ getaways and wedding guests, Sackville House sleeps up to 6 guests and is one of the rare pet‑friendly cottages in Bibury.
