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.

With its 16th-century character and wealth of amenities, this manor home is an absolute dream. Inside, space is anything but tight. In addition to the two cosy sitting rooms – both with woodburning stoves – you'll find a large kitchen, formal dining room, and a piano area for budding musicians. Each bedroom is as comfortable as the next, with the top-floor one perfect for little ones. As for the garden, the views of the countryside steal the show.

Location-wise, Shifford is driving distance from Burford, Oxford, and the Cotswolds – all great options for day trips.

Beneath an Open Sky

Set within a private garden and surrounded by fields, this home is ideally placed for a restorative retreat. Take your pick from two sitting rooms – both of which feature wood burning stoves. There is also a pool table and a large dining area, making this a great option for family gatherings. Outside, the garden features a barbecue and you’ll find plenty to explore in the area. The local pub and shop are a short stroll away and you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to hiking and cycle trails across the region.

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.

Morse Code

This beautiful Cotswold home is full of surprises. With spectacular far-reaching views from the garden and heaps of space inside, this home has it all – and is perfect for family groups. The breathtaking open-plan kitchen and dining area has a potted tree at its centre and skylights above, making it an excellent spot for family feasts. There are wood-burning stoves and two cosy living rooms, and the bedrooms are all as comfortable as can be. You’ll be perfectly placed to explore the Cotswolds in the village of Leafield, just a short drive from bustling Burford.

Flooded with natural light, this idyllic country cottage is the perfect getaway for a group or family looking to up sticks and throw themselves into Cotswolds living - it's no wonder it won Silver at The Beautiful South Awards 2022. Dating back to 1850, it has an abundance of original features (including exposed brick walls, a spectacular fireplace, rich wooden beams and stone walls), but a luxurious, contemporary makeover has transformed it into an extraordinarily comfortable stay. 

The two lounges are the heart of the home, made extra cosy by the roaring inglenook wood-burner and underfloor heating, and they make it so you'll never want to leave once you're stretched out on one of the sofas. Oh and you'll be wowed by the spectacular sun room all the same. Guests who love to cook will enjoy making use of the large kitchen and hosting dinners either in the stone dining room or out on the sunny terrace with its glorious countryside views. The bedrooms are all elegantly styled with soft colour schemes and goose-down bedding – we particularly love the Barcelona chair in front of the French doors in the master bedroom, as well as the gigantic free-standing bath, perfect for an indulgent bubble-filled soak. 

With such stunning interiors, you'll be torn between cosying up and outdoor living while staying here – but the pristine, flower-filled garden that surrounds the home will have you jumping with joy once the sun comes out. Enjoy discovering the local charm of the Cotswolds which combines peace and quiet with endless nature and a touch of quintessential English countryside culture. 

Honey Gables

Nestled in the quaint Cotswold village of Clanfield, and set on a five-acre estate with picturesque fields, grazing sheep, and a walled garden featuring a pond, this home offers a tranquil retreat. The house boasts traditional features and modern finishes, with plenty of space for a family or group of friends – keep in mind this home is only suitable for children over ten and infants under twelve months. During colder months, you can cosy up by the open fireplace in the sitting room or the wood-burning stove in the family room, while the picturesque garden is perfect for summer barbecues. Feel like dining out? The village's two 17th-century pubs are just a short walk away.

Cotswold Court

Getting cosy in the Cotswolds has never looked better than when staying at this colourful barn. We love its playful and fun design – your hosts have let their imagination run wild. There’s a great colour palette going on here – pink, teal and palm prints in the large, beamed kitchen, a sumptuous navy in the living room, and a different tone in each of the six bedrooms. There are also not one, not two, but three freestanding bathtubs to choose from – a yellow one in the master, a pink-checked one, and an outdoor tub for when you want to feel a little wild and free. 

For warmer, sunny days, the barn surrounds a private courtyard where you can catch a few rays if you’re lucky, or simply enjoy an alfresco meal – there’s even a Weber barbecue for you to flex your culinary muscles. Outside the comforting walls of the home, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy. The Cotswolds is renowned for its charming, honey-stone villages, and of course, you’re never far from a pub. There’s also plenty of walking to be done if you feel the need to stretch your legs. But don’t stay away too long – that outdoor tub is surely calling your name.

A Blush Of Pink

Private Parking

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

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. 

Oak & Thyme

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.

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. 

A Walk in the Cotswolds

If you're looking to experience the magic of the Cotswolds, this home offers a fantastic location. Nestled in the historic village of Shilton, it’s just a short drive to Burford – often referred to as the "Gateway to the Cotswolds". You’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to hiking trails and it’s possible to drive to Blenheim Palace and Oxford. And while there's plenty to explore in the surroundings, this 17th-century cottage has everything you could need to relax and unwind. From the cosy rooms and wood burning fires to the tranquil garden, this is the ideal setting for a refreshing retreat. One of the bedrooms is located in the garden annexe and it’s worth noting there are quite a few steps here – so this may not be the best option for those with reduced mobility. 

A Bright Beginning

Tucked away in Shilton just outside the Cotswolds AONB, this 17th-century cottage is packed with character. The wood-burning stove and timber beams create a delightfully cosy atmosphere indoors, while the honey-stone exterior is the picture of Cotswold charm. Three bedrooms are located in the main house. An annexe houses the fourth bedroom, making it ideal for grandparents or couples seeking extra privacy. Come summertime, you can enjoy dinner and drinks on the patio – or, even better, head to the local pub a five-minute stroll away. Fancy a change of scenery? Popular spots like Burford, Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Oxford are within easy driving distance.

Shilton Stone

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.

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.

Fenced Garden

Fenced Property

A charming little cottage in the Oxfordshire countryside, it's so idyllic that House & Garden magazine deemed it worthy of gracing their pages. With exposed beams, original flagstone flooring and a reassuringly solid oak dining table, your host has ensured not to lose that quaint cottage feel by bringing everything into the twenty-first century. After kicking your boots off in the utility room, the cosy sitting room with its inviting fireplace and antique furniture makes for a lovely spot to warm up after bracing winter walks. Like any kitchen with an Aga, its warmth attracts people like moths to a flame and you'll soon be moving people out of your way as you look for a clear space to chop, while they chat. The upstairs bedrooms offer endless views over the stunning cottage garden and rolling fields towards the Thames. The children's room comes equipped with lots of books, while there's another small single for gran or grandad. Head out with the children and follow the footpaths leading from the cottage gate down to the lock and watch the riverboats or head to Tadpole Bridge for a well-deserved pint at the Trout.

Sevastopol Sketches

Courtyard

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

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

Shared Washing Machine

Escape to the country in this charming cottage. It’s tucked away just a five-minute walk from the centre of Burford and its cafes and pubs, yet feels a million miles away. It’s in a quiet and secluded spot that offers views of the millstream, a leafy garden, and the neighbouring woodland. This cosy home is a studio apartment so the bed is in the living and dining area, but it doesn’t feel cramped – and there’s a balcony to spread out on. We think this is a perfect choice for a romantic weekend away.

The Burford Beauty

You’ll find this cottage in the most historic part of picturesque Burford. Grade II listed and dating back to the 1500s, this home blends old-world charm and modern comforts. Curl up beside the wood-burning stove beneath wooden beams, and listen to the church bells ring on the hour. The classic country cottage garden is a wonderful spot for a barbecue – you can see neighbours coming and going thanks to its higgledy piggledy nature. Discover atmospheric pubs a few minutes away, set off on country walks, and visit beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water, just 9 miles away. 

The Bell Ringers

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.

Inside, there’s a cleverly designed pull out and put away bed and the petite kitchen has everything you could need for rustling up a romantic supper. Enjoy your morning coffee on the private patio that overlooks the owner’s small holding, before striking out on one of the local walking trails. The honeyed villages of the Cotswolds are a short drive away and you’re spoilt for choice with local pubs. In the evenings, turn on the twinkling fairy lights, pour a glass of wine and listen to the soft sounds of the countryside. There’s no television here, but who needs one when there are this many stars to gaze at?
