This delightful family home can be found in the quiet village of Church Hanborough, perfectly positioned for exploring Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. There are pubs a mile away, and attractions including Blenheim Palace within easy reach. This home is ideal for families and groups of friends, as there’s lots of room for spending time together – though, with just one bathroom, you may need to coordinate shower slots. We love the open-plan living and dining space, which opens onto a pretty apple-tree-filled garden.

Nice to haves

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.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Long Hanborough, this cottage is an ideal base for a family stay in the Cotswolds. With views across Blenheim Park from the bedrooms, it’s impossible not to relax here. We love the conservatory, a tranquil spot for evening meals, and the garden is perfect for relaxing with a good book in the summer months. With a whole host of eateries in the village and surrounding area, dining out is sure to be on the menu, and for days out with the family, nearby Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds Wildlife Park are must-sees.

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.

Set within the rolling hills of Blenheim Palace Park is this luxurious Cotswolds cottage. It’s a unique opportunity to stay in the grounds of one of the most spectacular stately homes in Britain (and the birthplace of none other than Winston Churchill). Perfect for a family getaway, the kids will be entertained by endless nature, plus the zip line, trampoline, and swing. The adults will feel relaxed and removed from the hustle and bustle. Sit around the fireplace and sip a glass of wine, or head out for a glorious walk with the family to Blenheim Palace. Oxford’s only a fifteen-minute drive away too. As the day nears an end, watch the wildlife from your window as the sun sets on the day. 

Deery Me

Looking for an unusual Cotswolds’ home? Look no further than this charming apartment, located in a former bank in the town of Woodstock, within walking distance of Winston Churchill's birthplace at Blenheim Palace.

From the moment you step inside, it feels luxurious – apt for a former financial building – with high-quality furniture and a serene, modern style complimenting original features like leaded windows and Victorian-style radiators. We were particularly struck by the lofty, open-plan living space, which is flooded with light, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and has a sofa so wide and inviting you'll be hard pushed not to fall asleep on it while watching a movie on the 50-inch Smart TV. Also notable for its comfort is the super-king bed in the master bedroom with its crisp, white sheets and rose-gold bed frame. 

The home's location is a bonus too: Woodstock is charming, with plenty of boutique shops, galleries and cafes. Aside from Blenheim Palace, local sights include Daylesford Organic, Soho Farmhouse and the Burford Garden company, all within a thirty-minute drive, and the city of Oxford is just ten minutes away. This is a great stay you can bank on.


The Churchill

Part of a former bank that was built next to Woodstock Town Hall back in the early twentieth century, we think this newly renovated apartment is a pretty sound investment. The interior benefits from large sash windows that let in oodles of natural light, while there's a distinct mid-century inspiration with the furnishings — our favourite being the Art Deco sideboard on which the Smart TV sits. The bedrooms are both large and finished in a relaxing palette of muted greys, while the master bathroom is a sleek treat, especially the tub after a long day exploring all that Oxfordshire has to offer. The sprawling grounds and stately home of Blenheim Park can be reached in just three minutes on foot, while the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is right on your doorstep and isn't short of breathtaking hiking routes to follow.

The Spencer

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

With endless countryside views and a wonderful location, this home makes the ideal setting for a refreshing rural escape. It’s a short drive into the market town of Witney, while the close proximity to the Cotswolds means easy access to beautiful hiking and cycle trails. Private parking is available and you’ll have access to a peaceful garden with outdoor seating and hammocks. Inside, the sitting room lends itself perfectly to cosy evenings by the fire. There is also a snug on the first-floor which doubles up as a bedroom thanks to the sofa bed. 

The Willow Tree

This charming, tasteful apartment is located in Kidlington, a large Oxfordshire village just 5 miles north of Oxford. You’ll be close to the Begbroke Science Park and will have easy access to the Oxfordshire countryside, as well as the museums, restaurants, and shops of Oxford. The south Oxford canal is less than a mile away, with great pubs along the route. Ideal for short- or long-term stays, this apartment is comfortable and practical. There’s even a private courtyard to enjoy in warm weather. 

Oxford Bloom

Located on the edge of the historic Cornbury Park Estate, this detached home with its honey-hued exterior is quintessentially Cotswolds. We love the garden with its terrace, a lawn perfect for picnics or family games and views of the countryside. Inside has all the character you’d expect, including wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace – there’s an elegant living room and a cosy snug too. When you want to explore, nearby attractions include Fairytale Farm, Charlbury's dining options, and Blenheim Palace. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just need a getaway, this home has everything you need and more for a fantastic reunion with family or friends.

This Cotswold home is tucked away in the quiet town of Charlbury. We love the peaceful garden here – perfect for children and dogs – which boasts a small summer house so you can enjoy the greenery whatever the weather. Inside, the double-height living room has a log burner for cosy nights in and some of the bedrooms can be set up as doubles or twins to suit your group. Location-wise, you’re a seven-mile drive from the market towns of Witney and Chipping Norton, and you’ll find a choice of local pubs in town – ideal for a well-deserved pint after a walk in the countryside. Your host Nick has worked very hard to ensure this home is as eco as possible including solar panels, triple glazed windows, underfloor heating, a clover lawn which sequesters carbon and even sustainable toiletries. A beautiful home thats also kind to nature - the perfect stay for the environmentally conscious. 

The Sustainable House

Sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds, this pet-friendly barn conversion overlooks the River Windrush water meadows. While some spots of this home have reduced privacy, including the mezzanine bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with two access points, we love the open-concept living space for casual itinerary planning. The complimentary starter pack and baby travel equipment offer bonuses, but there are gaps in the garden fence which makes supervision necessary. With ample parking, ticking Blenheim Palace and the Bodleian Library off your bucket list is easy.

Windrush Whispers

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

If a chocolate-box cottage in a charming Cotswold town is what you’re after, then look no further than this Grade II listed, 17th-century abode. Situated in pretty Charlbury, the place is surrounded by glorious countryside – and more importantly, it’s a three-minute walk to the pub. Follow a bridleway that runs alongside the river to Ditchley Park or set out on the five-mile Finstock and Evenlode loop. Come home wind-whipped and worn-out to a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove. Light the fire and hunker down as a private chef, booked via your fantastic host, gets to work in the kitchen. Should your aching muscles need a little attention, request for an expert massage therapist to treat you to an indulgent pamper session. When it’s sunny out, spend your afternoons relaxing on the patio as the barbecue expectedly sizzles in preparation for long, lazy lunches. At the end of another idyllic day, retreat to quiet bedrooms for a peaceful sleep in sumptuous beds. 

The Village Charmeur

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.

Hague Blue

Balcony

If you're visiting the Cotswolds – whether for the first time or as a seasoned expert – it's almost mandatory to stay in one of the area's charming limestone cottages. Lucky for you, Butterfly Hill is just that and more. This three-story, seventeenth-century home sits on a quiet road that stretches from the centre of the small market town of Charlbury and boasts beautifully preserved original features, as well as all-modern appliances and amenities for a luxurious yet comforting trip to the Cotswolds. Adorned with the owner's personal objets d’art from their many trips to Africa, Brown's Cottage is an ode to its owners and all those who enjoy travel and exploration. Make sure you pack your best walking shoes – the area is filled with beautiful country walks and charming pubs that are waiting to be discovered.

The Charming Retreat

Multiple Sets of Keys

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.

Playground

If you’re seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this home’s for you. Lovingly restored, contemporary blends seamlessly with traditional here – just mind your head on those beautiful old beams and sloping ceilings. Days at home will be well spent relaxing in the freestanding tub, indulging in movie nights in the cinema room while tucking into the thoughtful welcome hamper, or simply soaking up the peace of the Cotswold countryside. Locally, you’ll find the market town of Witney just a short drive away, and Oxford within easy reach – there’s something for everyone here. 

Cotswold Spirit

Are you looking for the perfect Cotswold bolthole? This home in Charlbury could be it. Let us give you a tour. First of all, the pretty courtyard garden is ideal for an alfresco meal or evening drink. Inside, there’s a cosy, warm and inviting living room with ochre yellow walls. Gather around the log burner effect fire when the weather turns chilly and read one of the classic books or play a game with the pack of cards here. 

Upstairs, we love the views from the master bedroom over the charming street with its higgledy-piggledy Cotswold stone houses. This home is just the ticket for a couple looking for a romantic countryside break or a family with a child.

Situated in the gorgeous Evenlode Valley, Charlbury is surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside. There are so many lovely walks to enjoy, including one along the River Evenlode to Ditchley Park. Hikers can also take advantage of the Oxfordshire Way, which passes through the town. For everyday needs, there’s a convenience store 300 metres away. A farmer’s market is also held quarterly on the 2nd Saturday in March, June, September, and December. 

Or pop to the local deli, just a one-minute walk from this home. It’s the same distance to the pub, a 16th-century coaching inn if you fancy a hearty meal or just a drink. Other attractions in the area include Blenheim Palace, which is 11 kilometres from this adorable cottage.





A Charming Countryside Home

From the outside, Lovell has that classic look of old-world Cotswolds, with its yellow limestone walls and climbing wisteria, while inside your host has supplemented the home’s original features with super-contemporary furnishings. With a double-sided wood burner separating two sitting rooms, and an outdoor dining space, you’ll be covered in all seasons. The home sits in the historic part of a typically quaint Cotswold village, right on the edge of  Wychwood National Nature Reserve. Walk for a few minutes and you have a terrific country pub, a church, a spa, and a lovely fishing spot on the River Windrush.


Rose by Moonlight

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.

There are parts of this expansive Grade-II listed home in the village of Long Hanborough that date back 900 years. There are others, however, that are more recent additions, especially in the two acres of grounds and various outbuildings that surround it. The large outdoor heated swimming pool is one of those, as is the adjacent hot tub and spa complex that includes a sauna and a steam room. The same can be said of the gym and games room, home to tables for ping pong and snooker. Elsewhere in the house, you'll find a record player and board games to try next to the warmth of the log burner, as well as a huge kitchen with an equally large skylight above it bathing the space in natural light. The Cotswolds AONB starts mere metres away, so there's no shortage of walking routes with which to fill warm afternoons. There are historic attractions aplenty nearby too, including Blenheim Palace eleven minutes' drive away.

Safety Gates

Tucked down a quiet lane in the charming town of Charlbury, this honey-coloured bolthole is the perfect size for two. Comfort is at the forefront here, there’s a wood-burning stove that keeps both the lounge and kitchen-diner toasty, underfloor heating to warm toes after long rambles through the countryside and a super king size bed to fall into when you’re all worn out. Outside, a courtyard festooned with wildflowers is the perfect spot for lunches of Double Gloucester cheese and hunks of sourdough bread, picked up from the Farmers’ Market held every second Saturday. Pull on your walking boots and follow the Finstock and Evenlode Walk, a picturesque five-mile loop that starts in the centre of town and passes the Cornbury Park Estate. And when all of that rambling becomes thirsty work, the Bull Inn pub is less than five minutes from your doorstep – stick around for the Sunday roast and chocolate fondant tart. 

Ivy & Crown

Security Cameras

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.

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

Juicer

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

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.
