Nestled in the secluded village of Bladon, this charming cottage is perfect for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. If you fancy stretching your legs, Blenheim Palace is reached in thirty minutes, or why not take a drive into the heart of Oxford? Back at home, there’s a private garden with south-facing views over fields and an open-plan living space for dining or relaxing. Your host provides a welcome hamper to get you started, but should you need extra provisions, there’s a small Co-op in Long Hanborough.
