Located in the heart of the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this converted barn has a desirable address. It’s just a short walk from the village of Ascott-under-Wychwood, where you'll find a supermarket and a pub. Other attractions nearby include Wychwood Wild Garden, Cornbury Park Estate, and Charlbury Museum. That’s if you want to leave this cosy barn with its wood-burning stove and underfloor heating. We love that both bedrooms are en-suite and open out onto the patio, too – perfect for a morning cuppa.
