In the idyllic Oxfordshire village of Stanton St John, this red-roofed barn conversation is the best of country and city. It may be a rural base, but the charming centre of Oxford is a fifteen-minute drive away. Stanton St John has everything you need with a village shop and farm shop within a five-minute walk. Plus, meandering country walks are right on your doorstep. The home itself has been beautifully designed, with honey-hued stonework fitting in with the rustic aesthetic and a wooden pergola dappled with climbing plants shading the outdoor seating area. Just next to this there’s a big lawn which creates the back garden. Glass folding doors open up to blend indoors with outdoors so you can listen to the hum of bees and smell the flowering lavender from the breakfast table. The living room is a cosy snug, dominated by the plush velvet corner sofa as oil paintings look on. Come bedtime, bedrooms in Victorian floral splendour provide a plush place to lay your head.

You’ll be surrounded by lush green fields, beyond which lies the Otmoor Nature Reserve – this peaceful setting is perfect for a relaxing break. The beautiful kitchen and dining space opens onto a terrace where you can dine alfresco, and to a pretty garden. The open-plan design of much of this home makes it ideal for spending time together, whether you visit as a family or a group of friends.

Just outside of Oxford, this two-storey village home is a comfortable base from which to explore the surrounding area. With three seating areas, you'll find plenty of space to yourself here should you need it, while the main open-plan living area is perfect for coming together over drinks and food. Oxford is easily accessible here, being only 5 miles away, and closer to home you'll find a range of eateries, shops and pubs within walking distance, along with picturesque country walks.

In a residential neighbourhood just outside of Oxford, this apartment offers a comfortable home-from-home with great connections to the centre. There’s parking here, so you can easily drive into the city, or hop on the bus just outside the apartment. The patio may not be the most inspired, though it’s a nice option for morning coffee. Similarly, the kitchen is a little dated, but it’s well-equipped for nights you feel like eating in. That said, you’ll find Headington's local pubs and cafes within walking distance.

Nice to haves

There’s a bit of magic at this home. It’s a windmill tower that dates back to the 1700s and has been carefully renovated into a fabulous romantic escape for two. You’ll enter the windmill via an oak door located on a grass roof and from there make your way up a stone walled stairwell to the second floor bedroom suite. Next floor up is a kitchen with everything you need to rustle up some tasty food. At the top of the tower, there's a lounge with panoramic views across three counties. When you’re not admiring the views or enjoying a drink outside, you might drive into Oxford or to nearby Blenheim Palace.

Welcome to a rural retreat that serves up not only the perfect idyllic location, surrounded by fields but also bags of style and comfort. There's nothing rustic about this place, with underfloor heating, window walls and a high-end kitchen and bathroom. A modern oak barn that feels private and secluded, it's the ideal space to get away from it all and enjoy a slower pace of life.

Start your day with coffee at the breakfast bar, and decide between a long walk in the Chilterns and exploring the nearby towns and villages (we recommend the market town of Thame, just an eight-minute drive away). But if you're here to go completely off the radar for a few days, that's fine too – there's nothing stopping you from lounging in the garden hammock all day, soaking in the private hot tub and streaming your favourite shows on TV. And as the sun begins to set, light the barbecue and enjoy your meal on the patio, before heading up to the balcony for the best view of the stars before bed.

Extra Pillows and Blankets

This beautiful home ticks every box when it comes to a romantic place to stay. It’s tucked away in the countryside – but close enough to pubs and restaurants to be practical – so the views are glorious. You can spend your time curled up in front of the log burner, or sipping champers in the hot tub on the balcony.

The house is an eight-minute drive to the town of Thame. It’s at the foot of the Chilterns, so if you fancy stretching your legs there are lots of walks for you to enjoy. Otherwise you can spend your time strolling around the town, shopping in the markets that are held several times a week, and admiring the medieval, Georgian and Victorian architecture. 

If you’re anything like us, though, you’ll find it hard to tear yourselves away from this home. Your every need is catered for here so you’ll be in the lap of luxury. Open up the bi-fold doors to the garden in summer and dine alfresco, enjoying the outdoor space. Soak away your troubles in the magnificent bathtub, before slipping between the softest sheets. You’ll never want to leave.

If you’re in search of a quintessential countryside escape, look no further than this traditional manor house. Nestled in an immaculate garden, there’s a private swimming pool, a tennis court and a terrace with a barbecue. Inside, the rooms are just as enticing with a choice of cosy reception rooms, a roaring fire, a study and eight elegant bedrooms. And if you’re looking to make your stay extra special, your host is on hand to help organise sweet extras like private chefs, hampers and yoga sessions. You’ll also be spoiled for choice when it comes to countryside fun. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the nearest pub and there are plenty of farm shops and hiking trails within easy reach.

Pretend you're an Oxford don for the weekend at this spectacular garden-level Victorian home in the heart of the world-famous university city. This apartment is steeped in history and has some gorgeous original features, including spectacular bay windows in the living room, an ornate stone fireplace and buffed wooden floors. But the styling is undoubtedly modern here, with an almost Scandinavian touch. We love the muted colours - creams, eggshell and dove grey - with the odd pop of colour in the bedrooms (check out the super-soft orange bedding) and geometric print furnishings in the living room. We can imagine a spectacular dinner party held at the industrial-style dining table, with its wooden top and steel legs, before retiring in the living room to admire the black and white Jackson Pollack-style artwork over a glass of wine. This home is in Summertown, Oxford's most bohemian neighbourhood, and well-known for its organic wine bars, buzzy restaurants and independent shops. The city's main sights - the university, cathedral and punting on the river - are all a 10-minute walk away.

Free Parking On Street

Only a short drive from the centre of Oxford, this modern home in Rose Hill places historical sights, traditional pubs and independent shops within easy reach. Ideal for families and friends seeking a family-friendly escape, there are four double bedrooms and a sociable open-plan living space to enjoy. The garden is a highlight during the warmer months, and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking home-cooked meals. If work is on the agenda, you’ll find three desks, while the laptop-friendly dining table doubles up as a collaborative workspace.

Oxford Oasis

Escape the tourist traps of central Oxford at this smart apartment set in a leafy suburb that's just a 15-minute journey from the centre. While this serviced apartment may be part of a purpose-built, modern building, it feels surprisingly homely, and the Juliet balcony and shared gardens are a nice touch for any downtime. For local amenities, head to nearby Summertown's local shops and restaurants (half a mile on foot) or the bohemian neighbourhood of Jericho, just a 20-minute stroll away.

Steeped in history yet thoroughly modern, this Grade II-listed cottage is heaped with country-chic character. In the open-plan living space, a soft sofa invites you to take the weight off your feet – ideally with a cup of tea or glass of wine in hand. After riffling through the book-stuffed shelves, head into the carefully conceived kitchen to chop, season and assemble dishes as your hungry companions wait eagerly in the bright dining area. 

Outside, a patio garden filled with plants and birdsong is the perfect spot to sip an espresso before exploring your surroundings. A thirty-minute walk or ten-minute bus ride places you at the Ashmolean Museum, famous for its collections of art and archaeology. Stroll around the University Parks and Christchurch Meadow on sunny afternoons or broaden your history knowledge at Oxford Castle. When it’s time for dinner, check out the restaurants, pubs and bars that cluster around Summertown and Jericho.

Highwayman’s Cottage

Safety Gates

This beautiful award winning cottage has romantic country getaway written all over it. There are lots of cute touches in the design, like the vintage suitcase repurposed as a coffee table and the gold birds on the wall, but what's perhaps most impressive is the sheer amount of space at your disposal. The long kitchen has plenty of surface space for rustling up a hearty supper, while the shower cabin is easily big enough for two. Out the front door, there are plenty of spaces to sit outside during mild spring mornings, including an enclosed private garden which is dog friendly (the property accepts dogs). There are stunning views overlooking The Ridgeway National Trail from the cottage and you can follow this historic route through the Chiltern chalk hills. The glorious city of Oxford is just thirty-five minutes away by car and there are plenty of National Trust properties like Waddesdon and Hughenden Manor to visit close by.

Copper Beech

Built in 1916 as housing for English Railway workers, this modern townhouse now sits in a beautiful location near the river. Opposite the somewhat iconic Osney Power Station – the first powerplant in Oxford – it's also within walking distance of some of the finest bars and restaurants. The house is modern after a renovation in 2017, where the addition of skylights also brightens the home. The garden is a nice bonus here, where garden furniture and a barbecue occupy the deck in the backyard. 

A Sense of Railway

On the outskirts of the picturesque village of Cuddington, this two-storey home had us smitten. While unassuming on the outside, it is well-equipped to be your home-from-home whatever the weather, with indoor and outdoor spaces for dining – if you're not heading to the village pub, that is. The skylights in the bathroom and bedroom are nice touches, and we love that there's a view from upstairs. That said, guests on the sofa bed downstairs might feel the area is a little cramped – we think the home is better for families or a couple.

Serenity in Cuddington

Piano

This comfortable townhouse is perfect for families or groups of friends looking for a stylish base in Oxford. It’s located on a quiet cul-de-sac and overlooks a rugby club and a running track. A rarity for Oxford, the home boasts a balcony, garden, and two parking spaces. The house is cosy and practical, with desks for those working during their stay. Best of all, the historic centre of Oxford is just a ten-minute walk away. 

The Two Rivers

Just a few minutes from the university, we're not exaggerating when we say this 17th-century home places you in the heart of Oxford. Spread over three floors and with each room having its own ensuite and ultra comfy mattresses, you'll enjoy plenty of time to yourselves here. The unique design of the living area, where floral patterns abound, makes for a memorable spot to socialise, while the shared garden allows for alfresco dining – weather permitting, of course. As a bonus, two bedrooms offer views of Oxford Castle, while the excellent location means you can easily explore the rest of the city's attractions – museums, shopping, theatres and more are all a short walk away. 

When in Oxford

This Victorian townhouse has been renovated into a modern, stylish place to stay in Oxford. It’s a five-minute walk from the train station and just ten minutes from the historic centre of Oxford, where you can explore museums, shop for souvenirs, and dine out. Despite being centrally located, this townhouse is on a peaceful road, so you’ll be able to unwind here. We love the contemporary, cool kitchen and dining space, the heart of the home, and the fuss-free bedrooms. There’s even a garden to spread out in in summer. 

Oxford Aura

Located in a quiet Oxford suburb, 2 miles from the city centre, this contemporary apartment is just a short stroll from a choice of cafes, shops, and restaurants. You’ll have a private courtyard patio here, as well as access to a shared garden. And with the Oxford Canal and the River Thames within walking distance, you won’t have to go far to enjoy a waterside amble. When you’re ready for a slice of history, a fifteen-minute bus ride will take you to the centre of Oxford, where cobbled streets, gothic spires, museums, and galleries await.

Oxford's Edge

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Lift Access

We dare you to find an apartment in Oxford with a more central location than this, folks. With the mighty castle right around the corner and the famous Christ Church College and its riverside meadow just a seven-minute jaunt away, it's all going on here. Look even closer, and you'll find high-end bars, gourmet restaurants, and cosy cafes on your doorstep. Or if you're in the mood to shop, the Westgate Shopping Centre is just one minute away across the road. Now, how's that for a location? 

Back at home, there's a distinct Scandi feel about the modern apartment. Guests rave about how pristine and fresh the interiors are, and we'd agree. Crash out on the highly-sinkable sofas after days gallivanting about Oxford, and if you're in town on business, there's a handy desk to keep on top of emails.

But our favourite spot has to be the two balconies – an all-too-rare treat in central Oxford where outdoor space is scarce. It's an ideal place to watch the hustle and bustle with a glass of wine and snack on the goodies from the welcome hamper that your host leaves you. It would be rude not to.

The Alice

This charming cottage is the perfect place for a couple or small family to relax after days spent exploring Oxford, just a thirteen-minute drive away. If you fancy stretching your legs, there are plentiful walks in the immediate area, as is the Seven Stars pub for when you need to wet your whistle. Inside, the living room is kept cosy by a wood-burning stove, and the kitchen has everything you need for rustling up a cooked breakfast. On sunny days, venture into the garden, where you might be fortunate enough to spot some peacocks.


The Peacock Feather

In a city as historic as Oxford, famous buildings and heritage sites are around every corner. You'll find this cosy apartment on one of the city's most iconic and picturesque residential streets – noted figures like Harriet Shaw Weaver, John Edward Campbell and Sir Richard Doll all called this road home. It's the perfect spot for exploring this scholarly area, as Oxford's bustling centre and its array of pubs, landmarks and colleges are just a few minutes away by bus (or a twenty-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs). After a long day filled with sightseeing, book browsing and delicious eats, come home and unwind in this stylish apartment. Sink into the sumptuous sofas with a glass of wine and a good book, whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen or, when the weather is nice, retreat to the private garden for alfresco drinks in the evening sun. We love the traditional, sophisticated style inside – features like the original fireplace have been lovingly preserved, but white walls, gold accents and a stylish contemporary kitchen keep things modern. Whether you're snoozing in the comfortable bedrooms, relaxing under the rainfall shower or working remotely at the desk, this Oxford flat is sure to have you feeling right at home in no time.

The Freewoman

Sitting within a traditional red-brick building on one of North Oxford's most iconic residential streets, this handsome apartment offers a lesson in relaxation and pared-back style. 

From its herringbone wood floors to its contemporary decor and ample natural light, you’ll feel positively privileged lounging in the living room – a good book and a glass of wine in hand – or catching up on work at the window-side desk, taking in the views of the leafy communal garden for some inspiration. 

With a pair of comfortable bedrooms – one of which also has garden views – as well as all the home comforts you need with a well-equipped kitchen and a sleek bathroom, you’re all set for a carefree stay. 

As for sightseeing, you’re a twenty-minute walk from the Ashmolean Museum, a twenty-four-minute stroll from the Bodleian Library, while Port Meadow is nine minutes away on foot.

This family home is well-located to explore one of England’s most beautiful cities. Though parts of the house could be freshened up a bit, you still have everything you need here for a comfortable stay, including a nicely sized garden with a couple of seating areas – perfect for enjoying a family barbecue. Besides, you’ll want to make the most of what this historic city has to offer. A thirty-minute walk or twenty-minute bus ride takes you into the heart of Oxford, adorned with its iconic colleges, Gothic buildings and a plethora of eateries. 

The Fiddlehead

Bathrobes

Exercise Equipment

Dating back to the 17th century, this townhouse in the centre of Oxford is conveniently placed for those who want to explore the city with ease. Inside the home, both bedrooms have their own office space, allowing for easy remote working. Best of all, there’s a wine fridge for chilling a bottle of your favourite tipple to be enjoyed in the communal courtyard. Want to make your stay extra memorable? Your host can arrange a variety of services, from spa treatments to punting. 

Diamond Life

Standing tall on opposite sides of a stately courtyard, these two 17th-century homes exemplify palatial elegance. With one housing four guests and the other housing eight, this is perfect for family reunions or big groups looking to explore all that Oxford offers. 

After late-morning lie-in’s in the beautiful suites – think chandeliers, panelled walls, and corniced ceilings – you can come together in the courtyard to sit down for an alfresco breakfast. 

Venture out into Oxford, starting with the Castle on the opposite street before walking to the iconic university and stopping off at museums, cafes and shops. Evenings can be spent dining out at one of the many surrounding restaurants or seeing a show at the theatre. 

Upon returning, pour a glass of wine for the last bit of socialising under the stars. From there, treat yourself to a bubblebath before getting comfortable on the sofa with your favourite movie. 

The writers might want to call dibs on one of the suites with its own study. After a day in the medieval city, inspiration might strike, prompting you to write a midnight poem about “the city of dreaming spires”. 

17th-Century Hideaway

Just a short drive from the heart of Oxford, this cabin sets the tone for a cosy countryside escape. You’ll be welcomed by a fresh, open-plan layout with all the basics you could need to get you started. There’s also outdoor seating on the little terrace for your morning coffee or evening drinks. Private parking is available for one car and you’ll find plenty to explore in the surroundings. Follow nearby hiking trails or enjoy sightseeing and shopping in the city. 


Cabin of Light

This home is just as charming as the idyllic town in which it sits. The interior eschews minimalism for full-on floral patterns, characterful pieces of botanical artwork and vintage-inspired furnishings — can you honestly say you weren't happy to see that four-poster bed?

While the kitchen may be on the smaller side and lacks a hob, oven or cooking facilities, fortunately, there are plenty of restaurants in Woodstock, from a brasserie to less formal pubs. In addition, Blenheim Palace and its surrounding parkland can be entered in three mintues' walk from your front door. Further afield, the walking routes and viewpoints of the Cotswolds AONB can be reached easily in the car.

Masterpiece

Country life is on your doorstep at this vast family home tucked away in the pretty Oxfordshire village of Stoke Lyne, with a traditional inn close by for a swift pint. Back home, that south-facing garden with vast lawns steals the show. Inside, while some of the interiors may be a tad dated, the free-flowing living spaces, newly-fitted kitchen and sunny breakfast room more than make up for that.

Meadowland

This secluded mansion has an owl barn and a dovecote, and plays host to red kites, herons, barn owls, mallard and many smaller feathered friends; it really is 'for the birds'. Perfect for large families or groups of friends looking for a rural escape, this is a fun-filled countryside haven. Comprising six acres of luxury fittings, high-class amenities and verdant scenery – you could spend days here and never wish to leave.

The active types – usually the kids – are entertained by the dart board or the table tennis in the games room. Away from the splendour of your pastoral palace, there is a golf course, horse riding and cycling routes in the nearby area. 

For those of you that prefer a more relaxing break, fishing spots are an idyllic place to while away the hours. Or pamper yourself at the nearby Red Barn Retreat beauty salon in the village, which offers an array of massages and treatments. But you don't even need to leave your home to indulge in a weekend of grandeur.

A private chef is available to rustle up some top-rate food in the kitchen, giving you a taste of Michelin class dishes. For a more intimate escape, you can keep things low-key with homemade food and drinks in the cosy living room.

It’s for the Birds

After many years unoccupied, this former barn was treated to a complete revamp in the late 2010s. Today, a remarkable home awaits guests visiting rural Oxfordshire. Huge glass walls and stark white walls mean that the space feels immediately bright and inviting, while there's a superb mix of modern touches and more homely furnishings — bold pieces of artwork and the sleek grey kitchen sit quite happily alongside deep red rugs and picnic baskets repurposed as coffee tables.

Out through the glass doors, there's a charming walled garden complete with a lawn, patio and neat plant beds. Bat boxes and an owl loft have also been incorporated into the property to help the local wildlife. If you fancy a little more nature-spotting, there are plenty of walking routes throughout the surrounding Blenheim Estate. The city of Oxford takes around twenty-five minutes to reach in the car, too.

Single-Level Home

Explore the historical city of Oxford from this family home – the striking architecture, pubs and shops are just a ten-minute drive or bus ride away. Situated in the village of Botley, this quiet bungalow offers a private garden and dining patio, a conservatory, and driveway parking for up to two cars. It's also a great option for those with limited mobility thanks to it all being on one level too. While the decor isn't particularly homely or unique, all three bedrooms are bright and well-kept, and the modern living room offers a log burner for those greyer afternoons curled up on the sofa. 

Whiskers

Nestled in Oxford’s illustrious city centre stands this grand 17th-century home. As a Grade II Star-Listed building, every inch of the abode exudes luxury. Despite the rich tapestry and ornate finishes, this home is packed with mod-cons that make your stay extra special. 

From starting off your day in the rainfall shower to sinking into the Vispring elite mattresses, you’ll feel pampered from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep. Two of the bedrooms even get a view of the famed Oxford Castle – you get the full royal treatment here. The other two get an equally lovely view of the shared courtyard – you’ll love nipping outside in the mornings, savouring a freshly brewed coffee while catching up on the evening’s news.

Although this characterful home gives hints of its long history, you wouldn’t know it from the super-sleek, contemporary kitchen. It’s been kitted out to suit a modern preference, tempting even the most reluctant of chefs. But if you’re sticking to your word and not cooking during your getaway, a private chef can take care of that for you. 

When it comes to exploring the city, you’re steps away from Oxford’s most notable sights, although you wouldn’t think it from behind your tall security gates. Take a stroll along the canal, explore the museums, and finish off the day in a traditional, cosy pub. 

Grand Beginnings

Paid Parking On Premises

Perfect for a family seeking a home-from-home in Oxford, this townhouse has an excellent location. Oxford train station is a few minutes away on foot, and you can walk into the city centre in ten minutes. Despite being so close to the sights, this delightful home is on a quiet street that leads to a canal walk. The townhouse has been beautifully renovated to combine traditional features with contemporary touches – you can expect to find the original brick fireplace alongside modern amenities and stylish artwork. There’s a patio garden that faces east – it’s a wonderful spot for an alfresco breakfast. 

Canal Walk

Experience the Cotswolds like a local by staying in this Grade II-listed cottage in the heart of Woodstock. Just a stone's throw from Blenheim Palace and a fifteen-minute drive from Soho Farmhouse, this may be the peaceful Oxfordshire countryside, but there's so much to see and do. While many similar properties have had their original features removed or just covered up, The Bowler Hat presents a very authentic look, with lots of added stylish touches. Cosy up in from of a wood-burning stove or soak your troubles away in the sumptuous roll-top bath. The kitchen may look rustic but it's actually modernised and well-equipped – perfect to rustle up a feast to be enjoyed alfresco in your private sunny courtyard, British weather allowing.
