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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Stoney Rose

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Canal Walk

In the idyllic Oxfordshire village of Stanton St John, this red-roofed barn conversation is the best of country and city. It may be a rural base, but the charming centre of Oxford is a fifteen-minute drive away. Stanton St John has everything you need with a village shop and farm shop within a five-minute walk. Plus, meandering country walks are right on your doorstep. The home itself has been beautifully designed, with honey-hued stonework fitting in with the rustic aesthetic and a wooden pergola dappled with climbing plants shading the outdoor seating area. Just next to this there’s a big lawn which creates the back garden. Glass folding doors open up to blend indoors with outdoors so you can listen to the hum of bees and smell the flowering lavender from the breakfast table. The living room is a cosy snug, dominated by the plush velvet corner sofa as oil paintings look on. Come bedtime, bedrooms in Victorian floral splendour provide a plush place to lay your head.

In the open-plan living space, a soft sofa invites you to take the weight off your feet – ideally with a cup of tea or glass of wine in hand. After riffling through the book-stuffed shelves, head into the carefully conceived kitchen to chop, season and assemble dishes as your hungry companions wait eagerly in the bright dining area. 

Outside, a patio garden filled with plants and birdsong is the perfect spot to sip an espresso before exploring your surroundings. A thirty-minute walk or ten-minute bus ride places you at the Ashmolean Museum, famous for its collections of art and archaeology. Stroll around the University Parks and Christchurch Meadow on sunny afternoons or broaden your history knowledge at Oxford Castle. When it’s time for dinner, check out the restaurants, pubs and bars that cluster around Summertown and Jericho.

Highwayman’s Cottage

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.
