Nestled in the heart of Chipping Norton, this stunning home offers an unforgettable luxury experience in the English countryside. Your stay in the charming Cotswolds will be elevated with the cinema room, hidden bar, fully equipped gym, and massage room, providing plenty of entertainment and relaxation options. Step outside to enjoy the fresh country air, take a dip in the heated swimming pool, sip drinks at the outdoor bar, or unwind in the sauna. Nearby, discover local pubs, restaurants, and breweries, making this the perfect base to explore the beauty of the Cotswolds.

Oxfordshire's Finest

This family home is well-located to explore one of England’s most beautiful cities. Though parts of the house could be freshened up a bit, you still have everything you need here for a comfortable stay, including a nicely sized garden with a couple of seating areas – perfect for enjoying a family barbecue. Besides, you’ll want to make the most of what this historic city has to offer. A thirty-minute walk or twenty-minute bus ride takes you into the heart of Oxford, adorned with its iconic colleges, Gothic buildings and a plethora of eateries. 

The Fiddlehead

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

Only a short drive from the centre of Oxford, this modern home in Rose Hill places historical sights, traditional pubs and independent shops within easy reach. Ideal for families and friends seeking a family-friendly escape, there are four double bedrooms and a sociable open-plan living space to enjoy. The garden is a highlight during the warmer months, and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking home-cooked meals. If work is on the agenda, you’ll find three desks, while the laptop-friendly dining table doubles up as a collaborative workspace.

Oxford Oasis

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

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

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

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. 

The Tolkien

Nestled beside the owner’s family home, this cosy cottage provides a welcoming retreat in leafy Summertown. From here, it’s just a twenty-minute stroll to the nearest shops and restaurants, while the centre of Oxford can be reached in just fifteen minutes by bus. There is free parking for two cars on the drive and you can enjoy access to a small private patio – perfect for evening drinks. Inside, the rooms are well suited to relaxing, socialising or catching up on work. You’ll also find a complimentary welcome pack with basic essentials included in your stay. 

Beneath the Trees

This Victorian townhouse has been renovated into a modern, stylish place to stay in Oxford. It’s a five-minute walk from the train station and just ten minutes from the historic centre of Oxford, where you can explore museums, shop for souvenirs, and dine out. Despite being centrally located, this townhouse is on a peaceful road, so you’ll be able to unwind here. We love the contemporary, cool kitchen and dining space, the heart of the home, and the fuss-free bedrooms. There’s even a garden to spread out in in summer. 

Oxford Aura

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 

Located in a quiet Oxford suburb, 2 miles from the city centre, this contemporary apartment is just a short stroll from a choice of cafes, shops, and restaurants. You’ll have a private courtyard patio here, as well as access to a shared garden. And with the Oxford Canal and the River Thames within walking distance, you won’t have to go far to enjoy a waterside amble. When you’re ready for a slice of history, a fifteen-minute bus ride will take you to the centre of Oxford, where cobbled streets, gothic spires, museums, and galleries await.
