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.

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.

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

Tucked away in the community-led village of Tackley, within half an hour’s drive of Oxford, Woodstock and the Cotswolds, this lodge invites guests to put their feet up. Flexible sleeping arrangements mean this place is suitable for any family or group of friends staying together, and there’s a private terrace for enjoying fair-weather days. If you’d like to make your stay even more memorable, your host provides a range of at home experiences, from cider tasting to yoga sessions.

The Little Cotswold Cottage

Sat within the grounds of a working farm in rural Oxfordshire, this cottage is as cute as a button. The interior has been fully modernised — save for the stone fireplace — although it still feels homely thanks to the rural artwork on the walls and the plush furnishings. Add to that a sleek tub in the bathroom and relaxing should be no problem at all.

That's even more so the case on summer afternoons, as there's a garden with seating and a table. When you grow tired of idling in the sunshine — if you do — you're in an ideal spot for outdoor excursions. The Cotswolds AONB can be reached in around twenty minutes' drive, as can Blenheim Palace and the surrounding parkland. Closer to home, there are a pair of pubs and a cafe in the local village of Adderbury, only twenty minutes away on foot.

Part of a lovingly converted farm building set within seventy acres of meadowland, this cottage embodies the Cotswold spirit. The interior is a handsome mix of wood panelling, exposed stonework and roaring fires, although there's plenty of modern amenities tastefully added in too — it’s easy to see why it bagged so many tourism awards. As it's part of a small community of five homes, there's also a wealth of communal amenities to enjoy, ranging from a hot tub and a hammock outside, to the combined games and workout room which is packed full of ways to while away rainy days. When the weather does play ball, you can play croquet, badminton, volleyball, Giant Jenga or try your hand at kite-flying. Alternatively, you can lace up your walking boots and head out into the countryside for a bracing walk. The town of Chipping Norton can be reached in ten minutes by car, too.


The Walnut Tree

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Cotswolds, this quaint cottage home promises a tranquil escape. Boasting a private garden, a bright kitchen, and a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove, this is a true gem of English countryside living. Upstairs, two thoughtfully decorated bedrooms ensure restful nights, complemented by a stunning bathroom with brass fixtures. Designed for comfort and welcoming to dogs, it’s the ideal place for a idyllic escape – and with hamlets like Enstone and Chipping Norton a short drive away, there’s plenty to see and do as well.

Vintage Hideaway

Rain Shower

Enter a realm of Cotswolds charm in the picturesque village of Sandford St Martin. This stone cottage invites you to indulge in the essence of the Cotswolds with a blend of original character and modern appeal. The rustic kitchen features a gas AGA and beckons you to try out those recipes you’ve been saving. In the living room, you'll find a wood-burning stove and shelves overflowing with curated art and vintage books – perfect for cosy nights at home after a walk around the Great Tew Estate. Upstairs (be prepared to navigate the original staircase), find respite in the elegant bedrooms and enjoy a soak in the freestanding tub. During the summer months, you can spend mornings with a cup of coffee in the walled courtyard and evenings with a glass of pet nat.

The Bread Oven

This cosy couples’ retreat is tucked away in a quiet courtyard. It’s a superb base for exploring Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, with Bleinheim Palace and the pretty town of Woodstock within easy reach. You can also visit Oxford with no trouble at all. When you’re not seeing the sights, you’ll be pleased to have such a peaceful home-from-home. Curl up on the sofa together, or enjoy the sunset from the private terrace.  

Wildwood Lodge

Sound System

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.

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. 

The Windmill Tower

Nestled in the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, this beautiful cottage offers a dreamy escape for families and groups of friends seeking tranquillity. The cottage dates back to the 17th century, so you’ll spot original features alongside contemporary decor. This is a comfortable, cosy home, equipped with a splendid kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and an elegant freestanding bathtub. Its star feature is undoubtedly the garden, a vision of blooms with plenty of alfresco seating. There’s a pub at the end of the lane, and you’ll also be within easy reach of pretty Chipping Norton.

The Cobnut, set in a lush farmland in the largest of the 38 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is understandably right out of a fairytale or a Jane Austen novel. Housed on a decades-old family farm, not only does the home attain a high level of modern luxury in a rustic setting (easy to see why it bagged so many tourism awards), it is just as closely connected to the gorgeous outdoors. On the 70-acre private meadow, both adults and kids can enjoy croquet, kite flying, badminton, volleyball, Giant Jenga, plus a dozen other activities. Bring the complimentary picnic basket on your leafy walks through the countryside for a delightful lunch in the sunshine. On rainy days, settle into the well-equipped indoor games room or turn on the projector for a movie marathon. Elsewhere, curl up next to the cosy fireplace with a hot drink and a good book in hand. Inside, it's a classical look, with beautiful elm flooring, exposed stone walls and low beamed ceilings. While the original features add interest, it's a homely spot too, with a comfy armchair to sink into for a nap or read and a welcome hamper full of flowers, cakes and firewood. It's the little things that we love most about this home – the owners will really look after you here. With the idyllic English countryside, botanical gardens and medieval architecture all around, the host has a treasure trove of biking and hiking trails based on your interests. Whatever you choose to see and do here, ensure you bookmark the day by sipping bubbly in the hot tub or toasting marshmallows around the fire pit with friends and family. 

The Cobnut

Hot Tub

One glance at this cottage's private hot tub, and you'll see why it caught our eye. It overlooks the scenic Oxfordshire countryside, making it the perfect spot to wind down on summer evenings. There's also an outdoor seating area with a cinema screen, a children's playground, and a dog-friendly enclosed lawn. Inside, the large kitchen offers plenty of space for the whole brood to enjoy meals together – though the lounge is a tad small for everyone. Fancy a change of scenery? Oxford is a thirty-minute drive away, while the Cotswolds AONB is also within easy reach.

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.

The Bowler Hat

Single-Level Home

With sweeping vistas overlooking the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, this cosy cottage is perfect as a romantic rural retreat for two. The farm is home to the Barbour family and they’ve spent years ironing out what any guest might need for an enjoyable stay. On arrival, you will be greeted with fresh flowers, a home-baked cake, and unlimited firewood. This cottage is part of five award-winning self-catering homes and is located on the ground floor of the main converted barn. Partly open plan, the interior is grand and spacious, classically designed with stone and wood finishings. Exposed beams, an African slate floor and a roaring hearth add touches of character, while comfortable armchairs make the perfect spot for a nap or read. Open up the solid ash double doors to a sun-soaked courtyard and explore a further 70 acres of woodland and meadow beyond – enjoy a leafy walk through the countryside and ensure you bring the complimentary picnic hamper with you for a charming lunch in the sunshine. Walking and cycling are encouraged and if you want to re-find your inner child, there’s a games lawn for giant chess, Jenga, croquet and badminton. Whatever you choose to do here, we recommend bookmarking any day around the fire pit, toasting marshmallows and reliving the best parts of the holiday. 

The Chestnut

Umbrellas

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.

Bespoke interior design and far-reaching countryside views await at this delightful Oxfordshire escape. 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. 

The Country Life

Calling all anglers – this home is for you. It’s located on a fishery in the heart of Chacombe, Oxfordshire and has its own pontoon on the main lake. We love the stunning lake views from this unique home’s private front gravelled garden which has a picnic bench for idyllic lunches. There’s also an enclosed rear garden with furniture, a fire pit and a hot tub. There are more vistas to enjoy from the mezzanine bedroom, too – this is the perfect romantic escape.

There’s also a pool house with a gym and a children’s playground – making this a great option for families. Inside, there’s a cosy drawing room, a study, a cinema room and seven cosy bedrooms – one of which features a bath in the room itself. By day, you can explore Broughton Castle and follow hiking trails through the Oxfordshire countryside. 

A Glorious Place

Village life is on your doorstep at this quintessentially English cottage nestled away in the picture-perfect Cotswold village of Swerford.

With the honey-stone centre of Chipping Norton an eight-minute drive away, and Banbury, Soho Farmhouse, and Blenheim Palace just a smidge further (all under twenty-five-minutes), you’re perfectly placed to seek out the best of Cotswold’s life here. 

Though you may find all the Cotswold’s charms you’re chasing right here at home. Inside, this lovingly restored detached cottage oozes period character with carefully curated antiques and vibrant textiles adding layers of interest. We like to think that home is where the hearth is, and there are two firesides to choose from here. The elegant sitting room with a warming stove is the spot for quiet reading time – the bookcases stuffed with classics can help with that. And next door, a cosy snug with a wood-burner is the perfect nook for morning coffees and the papers. 

When the sun shines, head outdoors to the picturesque front garden with a seating area to soak up the views of the village and church. Or mosey onto the secluded rear lawns - it’s your very own secret garden retreat.

Hearth of the Home

For a real treat, Soho Farmhouse is located just a seven-minute drive away from here too. 
 

Ace of Clubs

Quintessential village life is on your doorstep at this 17th-century thatched cottage set in the heart of Great Tew. A great option for two families or couples wanting to holiday together without overcrowding each other, the bedrooms and the two family bathrooms are set apart via separate staircases for a little extra privacy.

Cotswold & Co.

Satellite / Cable TV

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

Parking On Premises

Tailor-made for two, this charming apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway in the Cotswolds. While the stairs up to the apartment are steep, it’s worth the effort to stay in this home-away-from-home, where you can sink into the bathtub or simply sit by the window to admire the garden views. This apartment is set in the grounds of the owner’s home, so there’s no outdoor space here. That said, it’s a simple stroll into Hook Norton village where you’ll find an abundance of local walks, a brewery, a shop, butchers, and three village pubs.

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.
