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. Inside, while some of the interiors may be a tad dated, the free-flowing living spaces, newly-fitted kitchen and sunny breakfast room more than make up for that.

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.

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

Tucked away in the community-led village of Tackley, within half an hour’s drive of Oxford, Woodstock and the Cotswolds, this lodge invites guests to put their feet up. Flexible sleeping arrangements mean this place is suitable for any family or group of friends staying together, and there’s a private terrace for enjoying fair-weather days. If you’d like to make your stay even more memorable, your host provides a range of at home experiences, from cider tasting to yoga sessions.

The bedrooms come with ensuite bathrooms and your host is on hand to help organise a range of sweet extras – including private chefs and beauty treatments. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to Oxford, Soho Farmhouse and the market towns of Banbury and Bicester.

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.

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

Hot Tub

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

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.  

Wildwood Lodge

Bespoke interior design and far-reaching countryside views await at this delightful Oxfordshire escape. You’ll be surrounded by lush green fields, beyond which lies the Otmoor Nature Reserve – this peaceful setting is perfect for a relaxing break. The beautiful kitchen and dining space opens onto a terrace where you can dine alfresco, and to a pretty garden. The open-plan design of much of this home makes it ideal for spending time together, whether you visit as a family or a group of friends. 

The Country Life

Sat within the grounds of a working farm in rural Oxfordshire, this cottage is as cute as a button. The interior has been fully modernised — save for the stone fireplace — although it still feels homely thanks to the rural artwork on the walls and the plush furnishings. Add to that a sleek tub in the bathroom and relaxing should be no problem at all.

That's even more so the case on summer afternoons, as there's a garden with seating and a table. When you grow tired of idling in the sunshine — if you do — you're in an ideal spot for outdoor excursions. The Cotswolds AONB can be reached in around twenty minutes' drive, as can Blenheim Palace and the surrounding parkland. Closer to home, there are a pair of pubs and a cafe in the local village of Adderbury, only twenty minutes away on foot.

The Morris Dancer

Enter a realm of Cotswolds charm in the picturesque village of Sandford St Martin. This stone cottage invites you to indulge in the essence of the Cotswolds with a blend of original character and modern appeal. The rustic kitchen features a gas AGA and beckons you to try out those recipes you’ve been saving. In the living room, you'll find a wood-burning stove and shelves overflowing with curated art and vintage books – perfect for cosy nights at home after a walk around the Great Tew Estate. Upstairs (be prepared to navigate the original staircase), find respite in the elegant bedrooms and enjoy a soak in the freestanding tub. 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.

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

Desk

Nestled in the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, this beautiful cottage offers a dreamy escape for families and groups of friends seeking tranquillity. The cottage dates back to the 17th century, so you’ll spot original features alongside contemporary decor. This is a comfortable, cosy home, equipped with a splendid kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and an elegant freestanding bathtub. Its star feature is undoubtedly the garden, a vision of blooms with plenty of alfresco seating. There’s a pub at the end of the lane, and you’ll also be within easy reach of pretty Chipping Norton.

The Wisteria Bloom 

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.

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.

Outdoor Pool

Surrounded by a beautiful garden with an outdoor heated pool, this former rectory is the perfect setting for a relaxing rural retreat. There’s also a pool house with a gym and a children’s playground – making this a great option for families. Inside, there’s a cosy drawing room, a study, a cinema room and seven cosy bedrooms – one of which features a bath in the room itself. By day, you can explore Broughton Castle and follow hiking trails through the Oxfordshire countryside. 

A Glorious Place

This charming, tasteful apartment is located in Kidlington, a large Oxfordshire village just 5 miles north of Oxford. You’ll be close to the Begbroke Science Park and will have easy access to the Oxfordshire countryside, as well as the museums, restaurants, and shops of Oxford. The south Oxford canal is less than a mile away, with great pubs along the route. Ideal for short- or long-term stays, this apartment is comfortable and practical. There’s even a private courtyard to enjoy in warm weather. 

Oxford Bloom

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.

Unspoilt countryside views, a wrap-around garden, wood burning fires and a games room – this home has everything you could need for a refreshing retreat in the Cotswolds. There’s also a heated swimming pool (available for an additional fee) and plenty of space across two reception rooms and the dining room for entertaining. Beyond this peaceful sanctuary, it’s just a ten-minute stroll into Hook Norton village where you’ll find two pubs and a village shop. There are great hiking trails and it’s just a short drive to Chipping Norton, Banbury and Soho Farmhouse. 

Light & 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. 

Ivy & Crown

Calling all anglers – this home is for you. It’s located on a fishery in the heart of Chacombe, Oxfordshire and has its own pontoon on the main lake. We love the stunning lake views from this unique home’s private front gravelled garden which has a picnic bench for idyllic lunches. There’s also an enclosed rear garden with furniture, a fire pit and a hot tub. There are more vistas to enjoy from the mezzanine bedroom, too – this is the perfect romantic escape.

Herb Garden

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

Balcony

The Cobnut, set in a lush farmland in the largest of the 38 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is understandably right out of a fairytale or a Jane Austen novel. Housed on a decades-old family farm, not only does the home attain a high level of modern luxury in a rustic setting (easy to see why it bagged so many tourism awards), it is just as closely connected to the gorgeous outdoors. On the 70-acre private meadow, both adults and kids can enjoy croquet, kite flying, badminton, volleyball, Giant Jenga, plus a dozen other activities. Bring the complimentary picnic basket on your leafy walks through the countryside for a delightful lunch in the sunshine. On rainy days, settle into the well-equipped indoor games room or turn on the projector for a movie marathon. Elsewhere, curl up next to the cosy fireplace with a hot drink and a good book in hand. Inside, it's a classical look, with beautiful elm flooring, exposed stone walls and low beamed ceilings. While the original features add interest, it's a homely spot too, with a comfy armchair to sink into for a nap or read and a welcome hamper full of flowers, cakes and firewood. It's the little things that we love most about this home – the owners will really look after you here. With the idyllic English countryside, botanical gardens and medieval architecture all around, the host has a treasure trove of biking and hiking trails based on your interests. Whatever you choose to see and do here, ensure you bookmark the day by sipping bubbly in the hot tub or toasting marshmallows around the fire pit with friends and family. 

The Cobnut

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

Paid Parking On Premises

Perfect for a family seeking a home-from-home in Oxford, this townhouse has an excellent location. Oxford train station is a few minutes away on foot, and you can walk into the city centre in ten minutes. Despite being so close to the sights, this delightful home is on a quiet street that leads to a canal walk. The townhouse has been beautifully renovated to combine traditional features with contemporary touches – you can expect to find the original brick fireplace alongside modern amenities and stylish artwork. There’s a patio garden that faces east – it’s a wonderful spot for an alfresco breakfast. 

Canal Walk

Parking On Premises

Tailor-made for two, this charming apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway in the Cotswolds. While the stairs up to the apartment are steep, it’s worth the effort to stay in this home-away-from-home, where you can sink into the bathtub or simply sit by the window to admire the garden views. This apartment is set in the grounds of the owner’s home, so there’s no outdoor space here. That said, it’s a simple stroll into Hook Norton village where you’ll find an abundance of local walks, a brewery, a shop, butchers, and three village pubs.
