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.

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

This charming refurbished barn conversion is perfect for those wanting to explore the English countryside from a comfortable base. This home has everything you need for a restful break. 

The house can be found tucked away amid the rolling countryside of the Cotswolds, just outside of the ancient village of Shipton under Wychwood. A twenty-minute stroll will take you to the heart of the pretty village, while a ten-minute drive will get you to Chipping Norton and Burford. There’s no shortage of cosy pubs to call into, whether you’re after a post-hike pint or are on the hunt for a Sunday roast. 

Back at the cottage, curl up with a book in front of the log burner and feel the stresses of daily life melt away. This is the ideal place for taking a break – you can’t help but relax if the only sound you can hear is the gentle crackle of a fire. Sipping a glass of wine helps, too. 


Around The Wood Burner

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.

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.

This storied stone cottage, stood among the atmospheric open fields of Old Minster Lovell, is the quintessential Cotswolds residence. Good sized and well equipped, it can accommodate three bedrooms, a farmhouse kitchen, a wood burning stove, a roll top bath, and a beautiful misty garden. Such a home does come with some watchouts – guests over six feet may struggle with the lower ceilings, while the steps up to the first floor are slightly precarious. But with so much charm, idyllic greenery all around, and excellent day trips for families and friends in close proximity, you'll find so much to love in these old stone walls.

Minster Meadows

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.

Cotswold Sanctuary

With endless countryside views and a wonderful location, this home makes the ideal setting for a refreshing rural escape.

There is also a snug on the first-floor which doubles up as a bedroom thanks to the sofa bed. 

The Willow Tree

Single-Level Home

Hidden away in the Oxfordshire countryside, this home provides a welcoming retreat for those in search of peace, relaxation and beautiful woodland walks. Set across one floor, the rooms are cosy and family-friendly with plenty of space to socialise in the open-plan living room. There is also a private garden with a terrace and barbecue – perfect for warm-weather dining. And when it comes to local produce, you’ll be spoiled for choice thanks to the close proximity to Diddly Squat Farm Shop and Daylesford Organic – both just a short drive away. 

Fields & Flowers

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

Stair Gates

This beautifully preserved Cotswold cottage delivers the cosy spaces and homey comforts one needs for a memorable country escape. But what's really special about this property is its idyllic village location with charming views from the garden of the nearby Burford Church. Full of original features and with a wood-burning stove and a generous garden, it makes a great choice for a family any time of the year. 

Uniquely, your host has collected a charming array of antique tins and other curiosities, providing this cottage with a distinctive personality. Tucked away down a peaceful lane, and with the added benefit of private outside space, in just a few paces you'll find yourself on the vibrant high street of this medieval market town, where there are plenty of quirky shops and charming pubs to discover. The picture-perfect village of Bibury is just ten minutes down the road - here you'll find a honey-coloured array of cottages that overlook a Thames tributary, some of which house quaint traditional tea rooms.

English Garden Tranquillity

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

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

Tucked in the pretty village of Milton-under-Wychwood, this home opens its doors to a cosy Cotswolds stay. Stepping inside, you’ll be welcomed by snug rooms, an open-fire and all the essentials you could need to settle in and unwind. There’s also a garden and a patio with a barbecue for warm weather days. Private parking is available for one car and it’s just a short stroll to an award-winning pub. It’s also a great base for exploring the Cotswolds. From here, it’s just a short drive to Chipping Norton and Stow-on-the-Wold.



Lucky Love

Set along the lane which inspired L.S Lowery in his Burford Church painting, this cottage is tucked away from visitors and is one of just four on the road which remains part of Burford Boarding School. A peaceful spot, the cottage is just a minute’s walk from the medieval bridge crossing the River Windrush and all the town’s shops, pubs and restaurants. 

With its distinctive honey-coloured Cotswold stone facade, and an Art Deco panel in the front door – the home a nod's not only to the town's extensive history but also to its link to the Art and Crafts Movement. Upon entering the home you'll be warmly welcomed by a typically English countryside retreat revealing an open plan layout featuring a cosy kitchen, dining area and living area with a wood-burning stove. 

At the back of the cottage, you'll find a hidden garden with a patio, small lawn with a garden bench, planted borders as well as a cute little summer house – perfect for sitting with a book amidst the peace and quiet. The east-west orientation of the garden means it has sunshine on it – weather permitting – throughout the day and on into the evening, making it an idyllic spot for a morning coffee through to evening drinks.

When you're ready to explore the local area, stretch your legs with a blissful country walk around the Cotswolds. Try a five-mile walk out of Burford to Great and Little Barrington along the Windrush Valley and back again, or there's always the option of the two-hour circular walk taking in Fulbrook and Woodford on your way. Burford garden centre is only a mile away and you'll conveniently find the nearest pub (The Highway Inn) just 300 metres away. 

When you arrive home, you needn't worry about traipsing mud through the cottage as there is a handy boot room with a sink, hooks to hang coats, plenty of space to keep boots and shoes. 


The Blue Poppy

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

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.

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.

Boasting gongs, awards, and stars from every tourist body going, you can set your expectations high at this elegant cottage, sunk deep in the heart of the Cotswolds. Formerly 19th-century stables, the buildings have been lovingly converted into a series of luxury holiday homes within the immaculate grounds of the Bruern's Estate. With the privacy of your own cottage and shared facilities to rival any five-star hotel, this place ticks every box.  For the adults, expect a spa (awarded by Tatler as one of the UK's best), a fitness centre, and a heated indoor swimming pool to keep on top of fitness. Kids, meanwhile, can let off some steam on the large communal lawns and adventure playground when the sun shines. And on drizzly days, an indoor play cabin (crammed with toys) and games rooms for the older ones (with all the console tech) should keep everyone happy. Back at home, four-poster beds, drapes, and ornate rugs all convey a sumptuous luxury, but this is a home that welcomes family life too. Children's books, board games, and DVDs are on the well-stocked shelves, and there's plenty of kids amenities - just ask the host. When it's time to explore further afield, Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Burford are all close by for antique browsing, cream teas, and hearty pub grub.

There’s plenty of room for the whole family here, including furry friends who’ll be desperate to join you on a long walk through bucolic Oxfordshire. Of course, the weather may not always be on your side, but when it is, the garden is the perfect place to unwind, boasting long picnic tables and a barbecue for dining alfresco. And if you’re in for a spot of rain, there’s a seat by the wood burner with your name on it.

A Farmer's Delight

Nestled in the pretty Cotswolds, this charming home is an excellent base for a countryside escape. It’s tucked behind a cottage garden on land that was once home to a large barn – now, it’s been converted into a collection of holiday homes. It’s bright and welcoming, boasting wonderful countryside views from inside and out – there’s a great garden to sit out in. You’ll be just a ten-minute walk from beautiful Burford, with its medieval bridge and old Cotswold stone houses.

Head to the cosy snug and light the wood burner. Outdoors, there’s an impressive amount of space, which is ideal for those bringing dogs along for the adventure. Ready to head out and explore?

This home's architecture, interiors and refined furnishings all share a charming rural feel, but its five acres of beautiful landscaped gardens, filled with topiary, sculptures and lily-padded ponds, tell the tale of Granada's ancient Alhambra fortress. It's a design paradox that we just love. Set in the quaint village of Kingham, there's plenty of great pubs, restaurants and woodland footpaths nearby – you're perfectly placed for exploring the sprawling Cotswolds from this pretty cottage. Upon arrival, recharge your batteries with a hearty meal in the bright and airy dining area, benefitting from soaring ceilings and windows that flood the room with light. Cosy up with a good book around the exposed stone hearth fireplace or knock up few light bites in the modern kitchen with exposed beams overhead. While its rustic features add interest, the heated indoor pool and Turkish Hammam really steal the show – treat yourself to a morning dip, before exploring the gardens or sporting your finest whites on the tennis court. With so much to see and do around the home, we just know you'll run out of time at this peaceful oasis. 

Alhambra

Children's Dinnerware

Countryside retreats don’t come more charming than this Cotswold stone cottage nestled away in Kingham, one of the Cotswold’s prettiest villages. Inside, you’ll find elegant living spaces, with bifold doors opening out onto a suntrap terrace and established private garden. A flagstone, open-plan kitchen with an Aga cooker at its heart - there’s a conventional oven as well if you’d rather keep things simple. And upstairs, spacious bedrooms spread out over two floors to give a real sense of space. And amidst all this charm, there are a few unexpected surprises too. Downstairs, you’ll find a cosy basement room - perfect for movie time, with games and toys that kids (and big kids will love). And things keep on getting better outside in the shared grounds of this home, with a stunning shared indoor pool, a Hamman, and five acres of manicured gardens complete with a Moorish-inspired pavilion garden. Now, you didn’t expect that in the Cotswolds, did you? When it's time to venture further afield, you’ll be surprised just how central you are. The village centre with its award-winning gastropubs is just a five-minute walk away, and there's a renowned spa and farm shop just a five-minute drive away. You really couldn’t wish for more. 

A Little Moorish

Sun Umbrellas

Take the most quintessential English cottage you ever did see, set amidst the rolling Cotswold countryside. Add to your doorstep five acres of sprawling shared gardens (think topiaries and a Moorish-inspired pavilion) complete with a shared indoor heated pool, Turkish hammam, and a hard tennis court. All tied up in the neat little bow that is Kingham, one of the Cotswold’s prettiest villages just moments away. And you’ve got yourself the perfect countryside retreat. Inside this eighteenth-century cottage, you’ll find a crackling fire for cosying up on colder nights. A light-filled living space with French doors opening out onto a south-facing private garden for summer evening barbecues. A suntrap conservatory overlooking the garden, that’s the perfect spot for your breakfast. And elegant, spacious bedrooms upstairs (a four-poster bed to boot) with picture-perfect window views. When you do decide to venture further afield from this quiet countryside idyll, you’re just a five-minute walk to the village centre with its award-winning gastropubs for an evening meal. Or head to Daylesford Spa and Farm Shop, just a five-minute drive away or twenty minutes on foot, where you’ll find the best organic food around and plenty of dining options. It’s all for the taking here.

Ode to Alhambra

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 in the historic village of Kingham, this home perfectly embodies the charm of the Cotswolds. You’ll be welcomed by a serene garden and cosy rooms with plenty of space to stretch out and spend quality time together. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor, while the first-floor bedroom provides a snug hideaway for younger guests.

Set within four acres of gorgeous countryside, at the end of a yew lined private driveway, you’ll find this honey-hued Cotswold stone home. From licks of Farrow & Ball paint, a welcome hamper stuffed full of local produce – and a bottle of champagne no less – to four-poster and half tester beds dressed in Colefax and Fowler floral prints, your hosts have gone above and beyond with quality touches to ensure you relax in luxury on your much-deserved getaway. Start your day with a treatment at the on-site spa so exclusive it was featured in Tatler, followed by a gentle stroll through the award-winning gardens. In the afternoon, sit out on the south terrace with a pitcher of Pimm’s as the kids play with the puppet theatre in their own private den. Retreat to the drawing-room with your book or drift off in the hammock as the chef of your group gets the barbecue going, ready for an evening of good food and even better company on a balmy summer’s night.

Oeil de Boeuf

Hot Tub

This Cotswolds stone barn sets the tone for an idyllic English countryside escape. With a provincial feel, antique furniture and soft, creamy hues, this home perfectly embodies a modern, country chic style. We were blown away by the vaulted beamed ceilings, sleek bathrooms (complete with rainfall showers) and the fully-equipped kitchen. But the star of the show is the Scandinavian-style log-burner. When it's chilly out, throw another log on the fire and sink a little deeper into the comfy couch, a well-thumbed book in hand. But when the weather's glorious, outside is where you'll spend most of your time. The private terrace is an excellent place to tuck into the goodies from the welcome basket – which is filled with local produce, fresh-squeezed apple juice and a complimentary bottle of  Pomerol – while the surrounding gardens have multiple play areas to keep kids entertained. There are also many on-site amenities to entice you, from the spa (considered one of the best by Tatler) and communal games room to the shared indoor pool and gym. If you're looking to go further afield, cycle and hike around the local area or drive for twenty minutes to chocolate-box villages nearby, including Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford.

Fresh Squeezed Apple Juice

Experience all the charm of the Cotswolds in this historic cottage. Its thatched roof, honey-hued stone, and leaded windows are straight from a fairy tale. Step inside, however, and you'll find a few modern surprises. A sleek extension houses the contemporary kitchen-diner, offering a pretty view of the garden through its large windows. But if you're missing that quintessential character, the living area has it in spades – with the fire roaring in the stone hearth, it's the definition of cosy. Locaton-wise, Burford is just a short drive away, while local favourites like Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Blenheim Palace are also within easy reach.
