Pretend you're an Oxford don for the weekend at this spectacular garden-level Victorian home in the heart of the world-famous university city. This apartment is steeped in history and has some gorgeous original features, including spectacular bay windows in the living room, an ornate stone fireplace and buffed wooden floors. But the styling is undoubtedly modern here, with an almost Scandinavian touch. We love the muted colours - creams, eggshell and dove grey - with the odd pop of colour in the bedrooms (check out the super-soft orange bedding) and geometric print furnishings in the living room. We can imagine a spectacular dinner party held at the industrial-style dining table, with its wooden top and steel legs, before retiring in the living room to admire the black and white Jackson Pollack-style artwork over a glass of wine. This home is in Summertown, Oxford's most bohemian neighbourhood, and well-known for its organic wine bars, buzzy restaurants and independent shops. The city's main sights - the university, cathedral and punting on the river - are all a 10-minute walk away.

In a city as historic as Oxford, famous buildings and heritage sites are around every corner. You'll find this cosy apartment on one of the city's most iconic and picturesque residential streets – noted figures like Harriet Shaw Weaver, John Edward Campbell and Sir Richard Doll all called this road home. It's the perfect spot for exploring this scholarly area, as Oxford's bustling centre and its array of pubs, landmarks and colleges are just a few minutes away by bus (or a twenty-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs). After a long day filled with sightseeing, book browsing and delicious eats, come home and unwind in this stylish apartment. Sink into the sumptuous sofas with a glass of wine and a good book, whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen or, when the weather is nice, retreat to the private garden for alfresco drinks in the evening sun. We love the traditional, sophisticated style inside – features like the original fireplace have been lovingly preserved, but white walls, gold accents and a stylish contemporary kitchen keep things modern. Whether you're snoozing in the comfortable bedrooms, relaxing under the rainfall shower or working remotely at the desk, this Oxford flat is sure to have you feeling right at home in no time.

The Freewoman

Built in 1916 as housing for English Railway workers, this modern townhouse now sits in a beautiful location near the river. Opposite the somewhat iconic Osney Power Station – the first powerplant in Oxford – it's also within walking distance of some of the finest bars and restaurants. The house is modern after a renovation in 2017, where the addition of skylights also brightens the home. The garden is a nice bonus here, where garden furniture and a barbecue occupy the deck in the backyard. 

A Sense of Railway

Nestled beside the owner’s family home, this cosy cottage provides a welcoming retreat in leafy Summertown.

With a pair of comfortable bedrooms – one of which also has garden views – as well as all the home comforts you need with a well-equipped kitchen and a sleek bathroom, you’re all set for a carefree stay.

Steeped in history yet thoroughly modern, this Grade II-listed cottage is heaped with country-chic character. 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

Escape the tourist traps of central Oxford at this smart apartment set in a leafy suburb that's just a 15-minute journey from the centre. While this serviced apartment may be part of a purpose-built, modern building, it feels surprisingly homely, and the Juliet balcony and shared gardens are a nice touch for any downtime. For local amenities, head to nearby Summertown's local shops and restaurants (half a mile on foot) or the bohemian neighbourhood of Jericho, just a 20-minute stroll away.

Hague Blue

Standing tall on opposite sides of a stately courtyard, these two 17th-century homes exemplify palatial elegance. With one housing four guests and the other housing eight, this is perfect for family reunions or big groups looking to explore all that Oxford offers. 

After late-morning lie-in’s in the beautiful suites – think chandeliers, panelled walls, and corniced ceilings – you can come together in the courtyard to sit down for an alfresco breakfast. 

Venture out into Oxford, starting with the Castle on the opposite street before walking to the iconic university and stopping off at museums, cafes and shops. Evenings can be spent dining out at one of the many surrounding restaurants or seeing a show at the theatre. 

Upon returning, pour a glass of wine for the last bit of socialising under the stars. From there, treat yourself to a bubblebath before getting comfortable on the sofa with your favourite movie. 

The writers might want to call dibs on one of the suites with its own study. After a day in the medieval city, inspiration might strike, prompting you to write a midnight poem about “the city of dreaming spires”. 

17th-Century Hideaway

Nestled in Oxford’s illustrious city centre stands this grand 17th-century home. As a Grade II Star-Listed building, every inch of the abode exudes luxury. Despite the rich tapestry and ornate finishes, this home is packed with mod-cons that make your stay extra special. 

From starting off your day in the rainfall shower to sinking into the Vispring elite mattresses, you’ll feel pampered from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep. Two of the bedrooms even get a view of the famed Oxford Castle – you get the full royal treatment here. The other two get an equally lovely view of the shared courtyard – you’ll love nipping outside in the mornings, savouring a freshly brewed coffee while catching up on the evening’s news.

Although this characterful home gives hints of its long history, you wouldn’t know it from the super-sleek, contemporary kitchen. It’s been kitted out to suit a modern preference, tempting even the most reluctant of chefs. But if you’re sticking to your word and not cooking during your getaway, a private chef can take care of that for you. 

When it comes to exploring the city, you’re steps away from Oxford’s most notable sights, although you wouldn’t think it from behind your tall security gates. Take a stroll along the canal, explore the museums, and finish off the day in a traditional, cosy pub. 

Grand Beginnings

Lift Access

We dare you to find an apartment in Oxford with a more central location than this, folks. With the mighty castle right around the corner and the famous Christ Church College and its riverside meadow just a seven-minute jaunt away, it's all going on here. Look even closer, and you'll find high-end bars, gourmet restaurants, and cosy cafes on your doorstep. Or if you're in the mood to shop, the Westgate Shopping Centre is just one minute away across the road. Now, how's that for a location? 

Back at home, there's a distinct Scandi feel about the modern apartment. Guests rave about how pristine and fresh the interiors are, and we'd agree. Crash out on the highly-sinkable sofas after days gallivanting about Oxford, and if you're in town on business, there's a handy desk to keep on top of emails.

But our favourite spot has to be the two balconies – an all-too-rare treat in central Oxford where outdoor space is scarce. It's an ideal place to watch the hustle and bustle with a glass of wine and snack on the goodies from the welcome hamper that your host leaves you. It would be rude not to.

The Alice

Just a ten-minute bus ride from Oxford’s historic centre, this home offers a cosy city sanctuary. Located in Summertown, you’ll find it’s just a short stroll to the nearest restaurants, shops and cafes. And when it comes to relaxation, this home has everything you could need to switch off and unwind. There’s a cosy living room for laidback evenings and a wonderful open-plan kitchen and dining room for family gatherings. There’s also plenty of space for remote workers, while everyone can enjoy the garden – perfect for summer drinks. 


Oxford Dreaming

At this centrally located home, guests can enjoy the best that Oxford has to offer without having to worry about the crowds. Tucked into a neat backstreet right behind the historic Oxford Castle, you can easily walk to all of Oxford's biggest attractions from here and the train station is also just a short walk away. Be sure to visit the Jam Factory, a nearby pub that promotes all local produce, for a great pint, wonderful company, and delicious food. Also, the Oxford Botanic Garden is Britain's oldest botanical gardens and always worth a visit.

Charming and cosy, this three-room converted stable is perfect for a romantic getaway. It’s been restored to the highest standard, with comfortable furnishings and modern amenities including underfloor heating – this is a getaway location for all seasons. In summer, the patio garden is a lovely spot for a cuppa. Staying here, you’ll be close to Burford’s historic high street and will have easy access to the rolling hills and honey-stone cottages of the Cotswolds. You’ll also be able to drive to Oxford to visit the museums as well as being only 30 minutes from Cheltenham to enjoy the races.


Stable Stay

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.

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

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.

Safety Gates

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. 

Ivy & Crown

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.

Masterpiece

Just outside the bustling centre of Charlbury, you’ll find this cosy cottage. Stepping inside, there’s an abundance of character, tradition and all the home comforts you could need for a relaxing stay. All of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms and one of the rooms is located in the adjacent annexe – perfect for those seeking a little extra privacy. There’s also a little terrace and a small garden for warm weather days. And when it comes to adventures, you can stroll to the nearest pub and shop, while beautiful hiking trails can be found within easy reach.


Shining With Joy 

Small but functional, this apartment located in Summertown is a no-fuss base for a solo traveller or couple. When you want to head into the city, Oxford’s historic heart is only a fifteen-minute car or bus ride away. Parking is available on the premises, and the home has everything you need for a short break or longer stay – from a fully-equipped kitchen to a communal garden. Plus, your host provides a welcome pack stocked with essentials, so you can start living as soon as you arrive.

The Strawberry Flower

Behind a secure, entry-coded gate, is this impressive 17th-century house. It isn’t just us that find it impressive – it’s a Grade II Star-Listed building, standing proud in the heart of Oxford City Centre. But don’t be fooled by its long 400-year history that’s ever-present through the rich tapestry and classic furniture, this home is packed with mod-cons. With Vispring elite mattresses, rainfall showers, surround sound, designer fittings, and so much more, this home is as luxurious as can be. 

The finishes of natural stone bathrooms and bespoke woodwork are certainly grand, but what you’ll love most is how these touches make you feel. Let yourself be inspired by the style and elegance, pulling you to work on something creative in your study. 

On sunny days, prepare your specialty in the kitted-out kitchen to be enjoyed alfresco in the delightful, shared garden, washed down with a crisp glass of wine. Or if cooking isn’t on the cards on your getaway, let a private chef wow you with gourmet meals.

When it comes to exploring the city, you’re within walking distance of all the sights and attractions. Spend a morning walking through the cobblestone streets, strolling along the whimsical canal, before taking in a dose of culture at a museum. And of course, every day is best finished off in a traditional cosy pub.

In the middle of the quaint Northamptonshire village of Maidford lies this lovingly renovated Georgian rectory ideal for large family getaways. Each room tells a different story, with unique finds ranging from antique plates to watchful bird art and even a crocodile in the downstairs loo – a model one, don't be alarmed! At every turn, this stunning home manages to surpass expectations.

In the ten acres of grounds surrounding the property, you'll discover a heated swimming pool, a barbecue, a huge alfresco dining area and manicured gardens where you can escape for a moment's peace. Say hello to the bantam chickens wandering about, too – they're sure to be firm friends by the end of your stay. There's even a games room so you can start up a table tennis tournament or practise your putting on the mini-green. 

When you fancy a day out, the stately home and gardens at Canons Abbey are twenty minutes away in the car, while the ears of motorsports fans are certain to prick up when they hear the journey to Silverstone's hallowed circuit takes about half that time.
