Overlooking country fields dotted with grazing sheep, this dog-friendly cottage forms one-half of a former stone barn. We love the 19th-century oak beams, yet the open-plan living space keeps it casual for modern families. Sunny day? There's a gravelled seating area here for outdoor hangouts. Perhaps you'll treat yourself to the extra services available, from cooking classes to private helicopter rides. While you won't be far from the Cotswold village of Leafield, Burford sits 5.5 miles away for local sightseeing.
