This 18th-century cottage opens its doors to a cosy stay in the heart of Oxfordshire. From here, you can follow hiking trails straight from the door and the nearest pub is straight across the road. It’s also a great base for exploring the Cotswolds and the Chilterns – both of which are within easy driving distance. Back at home, you’ll be welcomed by plenty of character and traditional charm. There is also a projector in one of the sitting rooms and a private garden with a barbecue – perfect for warm weather evenings. It’s worth noting there are low ceilings and varying floor heights here, but this is a sweet option for families and groups in search of a rustic escape.
