This 19th-century Cotswold cottage is perfect for an idyllic escape to the country. With a private garden full of hidden nooks outside, and a cosy log-burner inside, you’re set for any season here. We love the period features at this home, although the low ceilings may not suit taller guests. Location-wise, you’re in the village of Deddington, where you can browse the antique shops, stock up on goodies at the bakery, and enjoy a pint in one of the local pubs after walking the dog. And if day trips are on the cards, Blenheim Palace – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is a fifteen-minute drive away.

The Charming Cottage

With a gothic spin, this stone-built cottage has become a Worcester favourite for a unique, romantic trip. Tiny but beautiful, it's bursting with period charm and features arched windows, exposed timbers, a statement fireplace and a luxurious clawfoot tub alongside quirky decorative touches. Outside, near a stream, seating allows for alfresco meals and sunset drinks in the hot tub, and the on-site orchard is ripe for fruit picking. Your host can also arrange for a private chef or measures to take the weekend to the next level.

The Briar Rose

Nestled in the heart of Chipping Norton, this stunning home offers an unforgettable luxury experience in the English countryside. Your stay in the charming Cotswolds will be elevated with the cinema room, hidden bar, fully equipped gym, and massage room, providing plenty of entertainment and relaxation options. Step outside to enjoy the fresh country air, take a dip in the heated swimming pool, sip drinks at the outdoor bar, or unwind in the sauna. Nearby, discover local pubs, restaurants, and breweries, making this the perfect base to explore the beauty of the Cotswolds.

Oxfordshire's Finest

There's something undeniably idyllic about this cottage's location. Sitting alone within acres of Bedfordshire countryside, the River Great Ouse runs alongside the property. You can sit and listen to the peaceful sounds or spot the wildlife that calls the stretch of water home from the outdoor deck, which even has a jetty. If you want to add a touch of decadence, it's also possible to hire a private hot tub and enjoy the scenery surrounded by bubbles.

Heading inside the front door, you'll see that there's a distinctly rustic feel to the interior, particularly the brick flooring and inglenook fireplace holding a log burner. However, you'll also be happy to hear that the home was fully refurbished in 2021, which you can certainly see in the modern blue kitchen and cosy white bedrooms.

When the weather's on your side, there are plenty of walks to embark upon within Turvey Estate and the village itself — along with its pair of pubs, a butchers shop and a park — can be reached in just over a quarter of an hour on foot.



The Water of Life

After looking around this home, you probably wouldn't guess that the property has been standing for more than a quarter of a millennium, but that's a testament to the care and attention that has gone into the renovation.

Aside from the odd exposed stone wall and the original fireplace, the interior is as contemporary as they come, but great importance is placed on cosiness, too. Underfloor heating and a wood-burner will get you warmed up once again after bracing country walks, while the huge kitchen has plenty of space for whipping up hearty feasts. If the weather's playing ball, you can even eat outside, which will give you an opportunity to admire the bucolic scenery.

As well as this private patio and barbecue, there's a shared fire pit on the grounds around which to gather once darkness falls. Guests also get access to a shared games room, which has tables for ping-pong and pool, board games and toys, as well as a small shop selling meat from the surrounding farm and locally produced artisanal products.

Sitting deep within the Peak District, you're certainly not short of walking routes in the local area, plus a couple of historic attractions — Magpie Mine is only a ten-minute walk, for instance. And what would a rural getaway be without a charming pub? You'll probably be happy to hear that the closest one is only eight minutes away on foot.


Gazing & Grazing

If you’re in search of quintessential English charm, look no further than this character-filled cottage. Tucked in the heart of Adderbury, it’s just a short stroll to the nearest pub, cafe and village store. It’s also a great base for exploring the Cotswolds with easy access to Soho Farmhouse, Banbury and Blenheim Palace. Back at home, there’s a private garden for warm weather days and a snug living room with a fire for cosy evenings. There are plenty of traditional details as well as all the home comforts you could need for a relaxing stay. 


The Secret Love

Unique and charming, this round house is located on a working farm in the quaint village of Chacombe in Oxfordshire. It’s spread over three floors and boasts far-reaching countryside views that provide inspiration for walks during your stay. From here, you can easily visit Broughton Castle and the National Trust’s Upton House and Gardens, or simply explore the farmland. When you’re not outside enjoying the fresh air, you’ll likely spend most of your time in the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space, where you can cook together before curling up on a comfy sofa. 


Round the Twist

Tucked away amid the countryside surrounding the village of Wroughton, this delightful home makes for a memorable base for visits to Wiltshire. It’s been in the owner’s family for over a hundred years, and the love that’s been poured into it is evident. 

The vast gardens are beautiful, a wonderful setting-off point for walks and bike rides in the area. Explore the countryside safe in the knowledge that on your return you can warm up by a roaring fire – no visit to the English countryside can guarantee dry weather, after all. The Aga in the traditional farmhouse kitchen keeps things cosy too. The kitchen is a lovely spot for lively family breakfasts, all seated around the huge dining table tucking into local sausages and eggs. 

Should you choose to dine out, you have your pick of country pubs in the area, as well as restaurants and cafes in nearby Marlborough. There’s something for everyone in this charming corner of the UK. 

Adventure-seekers will enjoy the Cotswold Water Park, which is a twenty-three-minute drive. There’s an assortment of lakes with activities ranging from paddleboarding to wild swimming – that’s if you’ve not had your fill in the swimming pool back at the house. The Basset Down Golf Course is just ten minutes away, providing fun for those that prefer to keep their feet dry. 


Round & Round The Garden

There's lots to admire about this charming cottage, and that's before you factor in its sought-after Cotswold location. There's a ground floor bedroom and en-suite bathroom accessible to all, a grand living room with a log-burning fire, optional dining packages for lavish occasions, and a gigantic terrace and garden area with a gentle stream flowing at the bottom. Situated in the village of Little Compton, the home is within an hour of several regional staples – including Chipping Norton, Soho Farmhouse, Bicester Village, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Stow-on-the-Wold – and provides plenty of warmth and comfort after any day trips you may have planned.

Little Victories

This fantastic dovecot conversion pairs thoughtful, rustic decor with high tech amenities including air conditioning, Netflix, Xbox, Amazon Echo and ultra-fast internet. If you would rather unplug, the free-standing rolltop bathtub is a particular highlight, accompanied by a selection of luxury toiletries for your pleasure. Use it all guilt-free – solar power, air source heating and filtered well water make this an environmentally friendly retreat. 

Though set in a private fourteen-acre estate, this country cottage is within easy distance of local amenities. The historic hamlet of Market Harborough is just a ten-minute drive away, where you'll find a host of independent shops and traditional British eateries. Stop off at the Haddon Fields on your way back and enjoy a gentle stroll through the woodland. Once you've worked up an appetite, return to your dovecot digs in time to soak up the last of the day's light with an al fresco meal on the terrace.

Rectory Cottage

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

This traditional cottage is located in rural South Leicestershire. Boasting views of the rolling countryside, you’ll feel like you’ve escaped the rat race here. At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, the perfect place to enjoy a sociable meal after taking the dog for a country walk. With a log burner for chilly evenings and a private garden for the warmer months, you’re set up for all seasons here. When it comes to exploring, you’ll find local pubs and restaurants a short drive away, and Market Harborough, with its independent cafes and boutique shops, can be reached in twenty minutes.
