Champagne River
Champagne River, Plum Guide home in Oxfordshire
Click to book Champagne River now: from £490 per night Right in the heart of the pretty town of Henley-on-Thames, this period home has been given a modern and fresh facelift. Just a minute from the river and set on one of its most attractive streets, this perfect little piece of history was built as a chapel in 1850. Set over three floors, and with many of its character features preserved, it's now a rather swish place for a family get-together or a reunion of friends. White, grey and pink tones make for a relaxing feel and the home is filled with natural light. There's a sleek new kitchen, with all the mod cons should you decide to cook at home, but this town is also known for its great bars and restaurants – which are conveniently within walking distance. We especially love this home’s back garden, with its plush seating, greenery and charming glass shed. And the luxury bathroom, complete with a big, freestanding tub and double sink unit, is the stuff of dreams. In the evenings, sit outside on the patio set with a bottle of wine or stroll two minutes down to the river for a G&T at one of the waterside pubs. Oh, and if you happen to be staying during the Henley Regatta, it's practically outside your front door. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
Bridle Blue
Bridle Blue, Plum Guide home in Oxford
Click to book Bridle Blue now: from £200 per night Set within the secluded grounds of a private estate, this home offers up an idyllic country getaway with nature as your playground. Just two miles from the village of Eynsham and within easy reach of Oxford, it’s the perfect place to retreat while still being close to the region’s best attractions. Among its many striking features, the home’s large garden is a definite highlight. Children will love running around the green space with its climbing frame while adults will relish relaxing in the sun with a glass of something cold in hand. Gather around the outdoor table for an evening barbecue or cook up something delicious in the stylishly blue kitchen. With miles of trails and bridlepaths right on the home’s doorstep, there’s plenty of opportunities to venture out into the surrounding countryside with your canine best friend. With ample space inside and out, it’s the perfect home for reconnecting with nature, family, and friends. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
Redwick
Redwick, Plum Guide home in Slough, England, UK
Click to book Redwick now: from £210 per night Enjoy a stay in the heart of Berkshire in this fresh modern home close to Slough’s town centre. The airy open-plan living space invites you to unwind and relax with loved ones or come together on the comfy corner sofa to battle it out on the retro games console. Set over three floors, there’s ample space for everyone to spread out and you can step out for some fresh air in the small garden or on the balcony perching out from the master bedroom. The contemporary kitchen is perfectly equipped for relaxed meals at home, but if you feel like heading out, you’ll have access to a wide range of local amenities and activities on your doorstep. The kids will love the close proximity to Legoland and Thorpe Park while the grown-ups can enjoy the rich history and charming shopping streets of Windsor just five minutes down the road. If you’re flying in from abroad, you’ll be pleased to know that Heathrow Airport is just a ten-minute drive away, and London can be reached in under 20 minutes by train for exciting day trips exploring the capital.

Babes In Toyland, Plum Guide home in Oxfordhsire
Click to book Babes In Toyland now: from £550 per night Pretty as a picture, this period townhouse in the heart of Henley is the perfect choice if you're looking for a quintessential English home with everything right on its doorstep. Just moments away from the riverside, there are shops, restaurants and cafes aplenty and – best of all – the host has an agreement with the pub next door which can provide room service food and drink during your stay. Set over three floors and packed with character features, it's a charming place with a contemporary extension to the rear making for a bright, open plan living space. The kitchen is all set up for easy cooking at home, and you can choose to eat at the dining table or, if the sun gods are smiling, open up the bi-folding doors and sit out in the pretty courtyard garden. If you're here to do some serious walking in the Chiltern Hills, the addition of a boot room with a shower is useful, and there's a snug at the front of the house for cosy evenings in. Sleeps up to 10 | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms

With its wood floors, farmhouse-style kitchen and large garden, you’ll have no trouble unwinding and settling into a slower pace of life. Enjoy breakfast in your private outdoor haven and ask your host to arrange an at-home massage for a luxurious start to any day. Then go out to explore your surroundings – Henley-on-Thames is just a fifteen-minute walk away where independent shops and restaurants line cobbled streets and the River Thames provides beautiful waterside walks. After a day soaking up the beautiful scenery, come back home for an evening jam session with the guitar and drum in the living room before firing up the barbecue for a meal under the stars.
