Nestled away in rural Oxfordshire, you'll find this modern manor home that's sure to make any family get-together an unforgettable one. Everything feels super-sized here, from the generous bedrooms and sleek white kitchen complete with an island to the two separate living rooms. The design is rustic-inspired without feeling dated in any way, especially the bold print wallpaper and natural-themed artwork. Out through the glass doors, there's a large lawn, alfresco seating and even a hot tub, so you can truly soak up the tranquillity of these parts. There are two National Trust sites that can be reached in under ten minutes' drive, while the Warburg Nature Reserve takes sixteen minutes in the car. For a change of pace at any time, the town of Henley-on-Thames is fourteen minutes' drive away, where you'll find independent shops and riverside pubs.

Pretty as a picture, this period townhouse in the heart of Henley is just the ticket if you're looking for a quintessential English home. Set over three storeys and packed with character, it's a charming address that's rustic on the ground floor and more elegant on the upper levels.

Downstairs, the bare floorboards, botanical artwork and artfully weathered wood furnishings lend the feel of a country pile, and there's no shortage of natural light thanks to the huge skylights that line the ceiling at the far end of the space. The glass doors that sit underneath lead out to a green courtyard complete with seating and a barbecue — talk about being ready for summer.

Back inside, the boot room with a shower is perfect if you're thinking of heading into the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at any point — less than five minutes' drive away, by the way — while the snug at the front of the house and the tub in the master bedroom are lovely places to rest sore limbs.

It's fair to say that you'll have everything on your doorstep here. Just three minutes' walk to the banks of the River Thames, there are also shops, restaurants and cafes aplenty, but — best of all — the host has an agreement with the pub next door which can provide room-service food and drink during your stay. Why not take the night off washing up?

Picture a quiet village in the Chiltern Hills, with a gorgeous redbrick house, clematis scaling its exterior and a bloom of white hydrangea to greet you upon entry. Fortunately, it’s not too good to be true, you’ll find this idyllic escape on the cusp of Sonning Common. Inside, it’s a sophisticated blend of modern touches and traditional country style, with carefully restored original timber beams for added charm. A light, bright kitchen gives way to the acre of gardens—the real star of the show. While the little ones are enthralled by the play area and the big kids are practicing their swings at the golf net, start up the wood-fired pizza oven or go apple picking in the fruit orchard. On balmy Thursday evenings during the summer, there’s a tractor trailer pub crawl but if you fancy staying closer to home, you’ll find a cosy inn just across the road.

This country cottage is located in the picturesque Chilterns and offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. An eclectic decor with colourful furnishings and bold patterns perfectly complements the historic fabric of this old home – it’s certainly unique. Younger children are well catered for here with a sandpit, swings and climbing frame in the two acre garden, and books and toys in the house. Nearby, you’ll be able to enjoy walks in the Chiltern Hills, and Henley-on-Thames, famous for its annual regatta and Henley Festival, is just a three-mile drive away.

Nice to haves

Sitting slap bang in the middle of Henley-on-Thames, this four-person mews home is brimming with charm. Complete with a sunny patio, the modern pad has everything you need for a memorable stay in this pretty riverside town.

Enjoy continental breakfast alfresco using ingredients provided by your hosts – they can also arrange fridge fills and food delivery so you can settle in from the moment you arrive. Sink into the deep and inviting sofa, the French doors thrown open so you can feel the summertime breeze drifting in. Staying during the cooler months? It doesn't get cosier than this abode, where you can spend snug evenings in front of the flat-screen TV.

You're just three minutes from the waterfront here – enjoy leisurely strolls along the river before followed by a trip to one of the many traditional pubs nearby. When it comes time to return home, you won't have far to go before you can crawl into one of the comfy double beds and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.

You’ll find this cosy apartment on a typically Tudor-style street in the idyllic Henley-on-Thames. Step out the front door and you’re on a charming road lined with boutique shops and cafes as bunting adorns the lamp-posts. It’s a three-minute stroll to the river, where the Royal Regatta takes place annually, and cruises drift up and down year-round. 

Aside from the excellent location, we love the comfortable and cosy interiors here, too. A big bay window bathes the living room in natural light and comfy leather and velvet sofas await weary legs at the end of the day. The original fireplace and small book library add a homely touch to the place, while quirky pieces like the cowhide rug and printed wallpaper add a contemporary feel. When you grow peckish, the kitchen is a vision of modern convenience, with all the bits and pieces you need to cook every meal of the day. Or, head out to the restaurants and pubs of Henley – you’re right in the heart of town after all.

This lovely flat in Rotherfield Greys is a dream come true for amblers, with woodland walks, cycling trails and bridleways practically on your doorstep. A haven for cyclists and ramblers alike, you can store your bikes securely in the garage at night. We can't think of a better spot to switch off and unplug – after all, who'd want to think of anything else when you could be soaking up the fresh air and admiring the bluebells from your own terrace? It's the perfect spot to sit back and relax with a cup of tea in the morning or a Pimm's come evening and relish in the peaceful garden. And trust us – that blissful feeling is pretty hard to beat.

When you're not roaming around the countryside, make yourself comfortable in the charming living area. With squishy sofas, well-thumbed books and a table perfectly placed in the bay window, it's the definition of cosy. You'll find plenty of cookware in the kitchen to rustle up whatever you fancy, be it scrummy baked goods or mouth-watering roasts. Or wander over to the village pub for dinner and drinks – a short walk over the fields will bring you to The Malsters Arms, a recently-refurbished traditional country pub warmly hosted by Brian and his son Ben. Next door and well worth a visit is St Nicholas Church which featured on the show "Who Do You Think You Are" in early 2022.

Speaking of location, you're in a prime spot to explore Henley-on-Thames – it's about five minutes by car (and an hour on foot). Head there for independent boutiques, delicious restaurants and walks along the river. The Mill at Sonning is a short eighteen-minute drive away, an ideal day out for any thespians. Also worth a visit is the Grey Court National Trust, easily reached on foot. 

Your host Anne provides small maps of the area and can suggest some great walking routes for you to explore, having recently organised a 3 hour circular walk crossing the National Trust land and the Fleming Estate. Of particular note are the walks around Nettlebed, after which Anne highly recommends grabbing a toasted bite at the Cheese Shed.

Child Friendly

This pretty home is as quintessentially English as they come. It’s spacious and bright but has that cottage feel, with heaps of historic charm that blends with modern touches. This home is something really special. 

When the weather is fine, you’ll want to spend your time in the lush garden. There’s a barbecue that’s perfect for sunny afternoons, and plenty of comfy seats for alfresco dining. When the last sausages have been eaten, you might like to set up a game of croquet. Inside, there’s heaps of room for everyone to relax together, whether you’re curled up on the sofa reading or catching up on some work. 

In the morning, whip up a big family breakfast in the beautiful kitchen. There’s a lovely breakfast nook, as well as a more formal dining area. With full bellies, you can explore the surrounding area. It takes eleven minutes to walk into the centre of Henley-on-Thames, where you’ll find boutique shops and plenty of restaurants. You can hire boats from the side of the River Thames, just a nine-minute walk from the house – it’s a lovely part of the world to see from the water, so we’d pack a picnic and make a day of it. Hikers might like to set off into the Chiltern Hills, and will be happy to return to such a comfortable home. 


Cherry Blossom Corner

A five-minute walk from the heart of Henley-on-Thames, where you’ll find independent shops and eateries, this home couldn’t be more ideally located. If you fancy stretching your legs, the Chiltern Hills are a short drive away. Back at the pad, there’s a well-equipped kitchen for dining in and comfortable bedrooms for a good night's sleep. Outside is a courtyard with a snug – your host provides blankets, making it a lovely spot to enjoy an alfresco cup of tea or a glass of something bubbly all year round.

The King's Repose

Perched in a serene setting, this gorgeous house in Henley-on-Thames provides an idyllic suburban escape amidst nature without being too far away from the hustle of central London (a forty-minute drive away). Set in Oxfordshire, the location is as blissful as they come and the perfect location for country walks and a quintessentially English experience. Step outside into the home's stunning backyard where you'll find a weeping willow romanticising the garden scene. With plenty of seating areas to choose from – enjoy sunny afternoons out on the patio by the fire pit, at the alfresco dining table or even swaying on the rope-tire swing on the lawn. Since the inside is just as lush as the outside, you'll be spoilt for choice when hanging out at home here. From the light and airy kitchen-diner with panoramic views of the garden through the French windows to the cosy living room with snuggly interiors centred around the wood log burner. We particularly love the cute little desk nook found under the stairs – it offers an extra little secluded spot to get down to some work when needed. And when you're all worked out – The Greyhound Pub (run by Anthony Warrell Thompson) is conveniently situated just a two-minute drive or a short walk away from your front door. The quaint cobble-stoned town of Henley-on-Thames also makes its mark on the sporting scene by hosting The Henley Royal Regatta – a world-famous rowing competition that sees thousands of visitors arrive to spectate more than 200 races (including Olympians among the participants). Frankly, we couldn't think of a more perfect base from which to enjoy the five-day sporting extravaganza. As from here, you'll lap up both a relaxing holiday and the buzz of the iconic event in full swing. 

In Full Swing

Whether you're visiting Henley for the famous regatta, or simply want to get to know the area, this apartment is a great place to call home during your stay. Treat yourself to a wonderful trip to this pretty English town, and you'll fall in love with its unique charms. 

The apartment is modern and cosy, with a welcoming ambiance that invites you to kick off your shoes and get comfortable. Sink into a buttery leather sofa with a cup of tea, or head outside onto the private terrace to sip a sundowner in the fresh air when the weather is warm. And, the sleek kitchen is a great place to prepare your favourite dishes when you get hungry – why not cook up a traditional Sunday roast to round off the weekend? 

From here, the River Thames is just a short stroll away – wander along the banks and admire the quaint scenery. If you fancy a round of golf then there's a course just outside the town where you can practice your swing. And, you can easily drive into the Chiltern Hills if you fancy doing some hillwalking, before enjoying a pint at one of the local pubs.

We love the views from the large kitchen of this home’s courtyard garden with its tranquil water feature. Ideal for families or friends, there’s a snug complete with comfy sofas, woollen throws and a log burner for the cooler nights. On the first floor, there’s another living space, traditionally furnished, and a study – perfect if you need to work while away. Out and about, there’s a fantastic selection of eateries on your doorstep, and the town has a cinema, theatre, museum, antique shops and many boutiques. Also, within walking distance of this home, you’ll find the River Thames and the Thames Path.

River & Roses

Exercise Equipment

Peace and quiet await at this eye-catching, 300-year-old barn. It sits on the lakeside in idyllic Sonning Eye, an eight-minute drive from the buzzing shops and pretty high street of Henley-on-Thames. The highlight is the vast outdoor space where lawns provide space for ball games and there’s a dedicated basketball court. By the lakeside, a fire pit and seating area is the ideal spot for sundowners and there’s plenty of space to dine on the huge patio. The vast open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is a fabulous spot to socialise of an evening and there’s a second seating area in the Asian-inspired sitting room. Each ensuite bedroom feels hotel-level lavish. 

Sonning Serenity

This characterful home feels as if it’s straight out of a period drama, with exposed beams and shopfront windows. That’s not to say it’s old-fashioned — the interiors are bright and airy, more country chic than dingy pub. Though if it’s pints you’re after, the Bull next door is a great spot for a lazy afternoon. Or settle into the private courtyard, where there are no queues for the next round. A mix of double and twin rooms, with the cute addition of bunk beds, makes this place ideal for families. Just note that if you’re hitting maximum capacity, two of you will need to cosy up on the sofa bed in the living room — but if you ask us, it’s all part of the fun.

The Riverside Refuge

If you're in thrall to the English countryside but not so keen on the quintessentially rustic cottages that tend to be found there, this contemporarily styled home in a small Oxfordshire village may well appeal to you.

Rather than flagstone tiles and dusty ceiling beams, this home's design is dominated by stark white walls, smart wooden floors and large windows bringing in bountiful amounts of natural light. The kitchen and its sleek surfaces are a thing of beauty, as are the chic bathrooms complete with a few svelte tubs in which to luxuriate after a day out in the great outdoors.

Speaking of which, the address benefits from a large garden with a view of local farmland, as well as a terrace with seating from which to appreciate the tranquillity. If the weather's particularly good, you can fire up the barbecue for an alfresco banquet, but if the forecast isn't playing ball, you can make the minute's walk over to the local pub for a roast dinner.

The home actually sits within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so guests can be assured that a wealth of scenic walking routes can be discovered nearby. The riverside town of Henley-on-Thames is only ten minutes' drive away too if you fancy a change of scenery.

Rural Yet Refined

Set over five acres of beautiful Oxfordshire farmland, this cosy loft home is a lovely choice for a romantic getaway to the countryside. You'll be surrounded by landscaped gardens and unspoilt views towards the Goring Gap. Plus, Oxford lies just twenty minutes away by train while London Paddington is an hour from your door. Additionally, there's a pub within easy walking distance for effortless suppers after busy days spent traversing the fields. It's worth noting that babies in their own Moses basket are welcome to stay, though pets are not allowed due to the farmland animals. 

The Midsummer Song

Welcome Hamper

Spread out across three floors in this modern townhouse. Unique wooden furniture imported from India adds a touch of elegance to the minimalist, white decor. Get together for movie night in the modern living area (there’s Netflix on the smart TV). Breakfast can be made that bit brighter by throwing open the French doors and letting the sunshine in. Or, take the whole show out to the patio on a summer morning. If the kids tire of playing in the Wendy House in the garden, there’s a play park just around the corner. Locally you’ll find a convenience store, café and gym. Walk a little further for a major supermarket, pubs and restaurants. Or jump in your car (there are four private parking spaces at your disposal, you don’t have to worry about parking) and you’re in the bustling heart of Reading town centre in just 10 minutes.

Teak On White

Single-Level Home

This might not be one of the prettiest homes in the riverside town of Henley-on-Thames, but it's a base that's solidly reliable for those who will be spending most of their time out in surrounding Oxfordshire.

The interior itself is bright and airy, thanks to the large windows and the open-concept layout in the main living area that allows natural light to flow about the space. When it comes to design, you won't be wowed, but equally, there's nothing offensive about the neutral colour palette and simple furnishings. We do reserve praise, however, for the kitchen, which is both large and well-equipped enough for whipping up hearty suppers.

When you want to see a little more of the locale, the banks of the River Thames take ten minutes to reach on foot and the Thames Path continues in both directions. The Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be reached in three minutes' drive and offers a wealth of walking routes and stately homes to explore.

Underfloor Heating

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.

From the outside, this home appears to be a traditional country cottage. It’s nestled between rolling fields in the Chilterns AONB, just three minutes from Henley-on-Thames – easily reached after an amble through a sheep field. Positioned on just over an acre of private grounds, you'll be treated to stunning countryside views here. Idyllic doesn't even begin to describe it, though there are plenty of surprises inside, too. The interior is light-filled, stylish, and equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for – including underfloor heating to keep you cosy. We think it's a great option for families, as one of the bedrooms can be set up with a cot for little ones or with twin beds to accommodate guests seven and eight.

River & Romance

This charming wood-clad barn is tucked away down a tranquil private lane surrounded by idyllic Oxfordshire countryside. Inside, high vaulted ceilings and a log-burning fire bring the wow factor, and the green vistas seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows are a delight, whatever the season. Sleeping six guests, above the main bedroom, there’s an enclosed mezzanine twin room for children, while the final two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the lounge. Fringing the sleepy village of Harspden, you’ll need to drive to get out and about. Get off to a flying start in the vibrant 13th-century market town of Henley-on-Thames – just a few minutes drive away.

Right in the heart of the pretty town of Henley-on-Thames, this period home has been given a modern and fresh facelift. Just a minute from the river and set on one of its most attractive streets, this perfect little piece of history was built as a chapel in 1850. Set over three floors, and with many of its character features preserved, it's now a rather swish place for a family get-together or a reunion of friends. White, grey and pink tones make for a relaxing feel and the home is filled with natural light. There's a sleek new kitchen, with all the mod cons should you decide to cook at home, but this town is also known for its great bars and restaurants – which are conveniently within walking distance. We especially love this home’s back garden, with its plush seating, greenery and charming glass shed. And the luxury bathroom, complete with a big, freestanding tub and double sink unit, is the stuff of dreams. In the evenings, sit outside on the patio set with a bottle of wine or stroll two minutes down to the river for a G&T at one of the waterside pubs. Oh, and if you happen to be staying during the Henley Regatta, it's practically outside your front door. 

Champagne River

Luxury Toiletries

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. 


Butter Soft

Private Pool

Swimming Pool

Tennis Court

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. 

Chalford Manor

Lying within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and only a minute's walk from a thatched-roof pub, this is an ideal home for anyone looking to escape the urban environment and lose themselves in the English countryside for a while.

The home itself plays a role in this bucolic fantasy. Once a Victorian farmhouse, today this is a property that pays homage to its rustic history with a few wood-burning stoves, exposed brickwork and tiling underfoot, but is also full of more contemporary flourishes, too – we're particularly fond of the conservatory with a dining table that looks out to views of the Oxfordshire countryside.

If the weather's pleasant enough to sit out in the open air, there's a terrace that faces local farmland and forest and when the sun makes an appearance, why not break out the barbecue and cook up an alfresco banquet for lucky guests?

You'll have almost certainly worked up an appetite after exploring the local area. There are great walking routes that start from the house, including around Bluebell Woodland only ten minutes on foot from the front door. The charming town of Henley-on-Thames is only an hour's walk away too if you fancy something a little more challenging.

As Is Tradition

This home located just outside of Maidenhead is certainly one of the more pared-back properties in our collection, but it's so well-executed that we felt compelled to include it.

The ivory walls, shiny wooden floors and large windows combine together to make the interior feel bright and inviting. while there's plenty of sleek black surface space in the horseshoe-shaped kitchen to whip up family-sized feasts. Out through the French doors, there's a garden that runs around three sides of the house that could very easily be the site of summer lawn games.

The centre of Maidenhead sits about seven minutes' drive away when you fancy a meal out or a trip to the theatre. In the other direction, walking routes in the Chiltern Hills AONB can be reached in a similar amount of time.

Ebony & Ivory

This historic home is nestled in the rolling Chiltern hills. Made up of a farmhouse and a barn rented as one, it’s a great choice for a group getaway. You’ll be doubling up on living areas here, so there’s plenty of space for everyone. And when the weather is playing ball, you’ve got a choice of two gardens with countryside views. While the rustic decor may not be to everyone’s tastes, the home is packed full of character. Location-wise, you’re in the perfect spot for hiking – keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife – and for days out, the market town of High Wycombe and picturesque Henley-on-Thames are less than half an hour away by car.

The Barn & The Farmhouse

Free Parking

Dating back to the 1800s, this Grade II-listed barn is now a comfortable home-from-home. Underfloor heating keeps toes warm for visits during the cooler months, and the indoor climbing wall and gym equipment will keep active types occupied. When the sun does shine, there’s a dining table and chairs on the decking for alfresco lunches. The Chiltern Hills are on the doorstep, and the Black Lion pub is a fifteen-minute walk away. If you’d like to swap the countryside for some hustle and bustle, High Wycombe is reached in less than twenty minutes by car.


Chilterns Charm

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.

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

Situated in a residential area, around a ten-minute drive from Reading’s shops, bars and restaurants, this apartment is perfect for families and friends who are always on the go. If you have the little ones in tow, Legoland is reached in thirty minutes by car. While the place does lack some homely touches, it functions just fine for quick trips. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, and the living area is spacious enough for spending time with your loved ones.

Spending Time

This apartment in the heart of Reading is ideal for families or couples looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay. Bars, shops and restaurants are a short stroll away and should you fancy a trip into the capital, Central London is reached in thirty minutes by train. While the home isn’t the most characterful in our collection, the place is equipped with all the trappings you’ll need for a short break. And there’s enough storage, particularly in the first bedroom, if you’re tempted to extend your stay.

The Queen's Rainbow

This cosy home is the perfect rest point for a romantic getaway to the riverside town of Marlow. Snuggle up together on the sofa to watch a movie on the TV as the smell of a delicious homecooked meal wafts throughout the house. Enjoy your tasty plate of food at the dining table with a documentary on the screen as you socialise with your loved one, planning a fun itinerary of what you'll be up to in the town. If you're fancying a relaxing day in, get under the duvet to read a new book you picked up recently as you sip on a toasty cup of coffee. If weather permits, head out to the bench outdoors to dine alfresco with a hearty meal, washed down with a sumptuous glass of red – or sparkling bubbly.

Wander the streets of Marlow to see what you can find – there's a gorgeous Vietnamese restaurant nearby as well as a great selection of rustic pubs to unwind in as you enjoy a pint or two. A short drive takes you to the verdant Higginson Park where you get a fantastic view of the river and is a lovely spot for a picnic.
