From the outside, Lovell has that classic look of old-world Cotswolds, with its yellow limestone walls and climbing wisteria, while inside your host has supplemented the home’s original features with super-contemporary furnishings. With a double-sided wood burner separating two sitting rooms, and an outdoor dining space, you’ll be covered in all seasons. The home sits in the historic part of a typically quaint Cotswold village, right on the edge of  Wychwood National Nature Reserve. Walk for a few minutes and you have a terrific country pub, a church, a spa, and a lovely fishing spot on the River Windrush.

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.

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

With endless countryside views and a wonderful location, this home makes the ideal setting for a refreshing rural escape. It’s a short drive into the market town of Witney, while the close proximity to the Cotswolds means easy access to beautiful hiking and cycle trails. Private parking is available and you’ll have access to a peaceful garden with outdoor seating and hammocks. Inside, the sitting room lends itself perfectly to cosy evenings by the fire. There is also a snug on the first-floor which doubles up as a bedroom thanks to the sofa bed. 

The Willow Tree

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.

Parking On Street

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 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.

Days at home will be well spent relaxing in the freestanding tub, indulging in movie nights in the cinema room while tucking into the thoughtful welcome hamper, or simply soaking up the peace of the Cotswold countryside. Locally, you’ll find the market town of Witney just a short drive away, and Oxford within easy reach – there’s something for everyone here.

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.

Shilton Stone

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

Safety 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

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.

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

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. 

Sunny Glade

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.

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.

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

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

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

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. There's plenty of room for children and pups to run amuck while adults enjoy a sundowner or two. Location-wise, Shifford is driving distance from Burford, Oxford, and the Cotswolds – all great options for day trips.

Beneath an Open Sky

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

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.

Thatch & Glass

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

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

Hammock

If you’re longing for country charm, this cottage in the Cotswolds could be the holiday home for you.

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

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.
