Forget the mundane with this whimsical home, that invites guests on an experience far, far away from the regular daily grind. Vibrant and tropical interiors decorate the space with keepsakes from all around the world. Each and every room boasts an exotic feel, that will have you doubting whether you're staying in the North Cotswolds at all. Spread across three floors, the space extends out into the garden featuring a miniature rose garden, an outside dining area and a courtyard pond that homes four Japanese Koi Fish. We particularly love the energy felt in the sunny dining room, as the lively colour palette exuberates light as the sun flows in through the gorgeous French windows. Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms unveil a more subdued ambience to ensure a good night's sleep – yet quirky designs and finishings persist throughout. Set in a residential of quaint Banbury, you'll be within short walking distance of two local pubs, you'll also be positioned just minutes away from Upton House and Gardens as well as Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park. Enjoy leisurely country walks around the charming village setting or venture further afield to the likes of Stratford-upon-Avon, Daylesford Organic Farmshop and Soho... Farmhouse, which are all just a thirty-minute drive away.

About Stratford-upon Avon
Travel north of the Cotswolds and you’ll start to find yourself in the Midlands.
