Wax Lyrical
Wax Lyrical, Plum Guide home in Oxfordshire, UK
Click to book Wax Lyrical now: from £500 per night This stylish Oxfordshire Cotswolds barn conversion sits on the edge of the endless, whisper-quiet Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve. The interiors are a harmonious blend of original features and modern styling—particularly in the living space. You’ll find sleek kitchen appliances beneath restored ceiling beams and a rustic exposed stone fireplace in front of contemporary furnishings. While open and well set up for entertaining, the arrangement of the seating area feels intimate and cosy—especially when the wood-burning fire is lit. Outside, there’s a secluded patio with dining set for cream teas or barbecues in the sunshine. Nearby, big and little kids alike will be thrilled with the tree swing, while a chair beneath the Ash canopy calls for stolen moments alone with your favourite paperback and a milky cup of tea. Your home is surrounded by gentle walking trails through the rolling countryside and along the River Thames. Plus, it’s a seven-minute drive to a traditional inn serving refreshing pints and hearty pub grub. Sleeps up to 10 | 5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Perfect for a family getaway, the kids will be entertained by endless nature, plus the zip line, trampoline, and swing. The adults will feel relaxed and removed from the hustle and bustle. Sit around the fireplace and sip a glass of wine, or head out for a glorious walk with the family to Blenheim Palace. Oxford’s only a fifteen-minute drive away too.

Sleepy Leopard
Sleepy Leopard, Plum Guide home in Oxfordshire, UK
Click to book Sleepy Leopard now: from £500 per night If you're after countryside tranquility but don't want to compromise on modern style and comfort, this brilliant barn conversion makes for a memorable Cotswold escape. The river Thames runs along the end of the garden, and there’s even a private jetty, so you can swim or paddle board in the river. With six bedrooms – each with its own ensuite – this huge home can accommodate your whole extended family for that annual family reunion or special celebration, and you can even bring your furry friends along. We love how well equipped this home is when it comes to keeping the whole group together and entertained – from the large rustic trestle table to the snug with beanbags and a large flatscreen TV, where you can catch up on your favourite shows or watch classic movies. Packing your walking shoes is a given, but don't forget your swimming trunks too, if you are planning to make use of the steamy hot tub for a stargazing session. Sleeps up to 14 | 6 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms
Featherstone
Featherstone, Plum Guide home in Oxfordshire
Click to book Featherstone now: from £600 per night Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Chimney, right on the edge of the Cotswolds, this family-friendly barn is ideal for a country getaway. Beamed ceilings, large windows and sumptuous seating create a welcoming and bright atmosphere, and with stylish bedrooms, a separate dining room and a super cosy living area, there's more than enough space for groups to spread out. Flex your culinary muscles in the rustic kitchen, curl up with an engrossing read in front of the woodburning stove, or make the most of warm weather and head outside to the garden. The enclosed courtyard is perfect for both pups and kids to run around in – while they play, adults can lounge on the outdoor sofa with a drink in hand. There's an alfresco dining table and a Weber grill if you're in the mood to barbecue, but the real highlight is the tin bath – at night, enjoy a soak under the stars. Many of the must-see Cotswolds villages are within driving distance when you're ready to explore, and Oxford is thirty minutes away by car. Or, stay closer to home and enjoy an afternoon ramble around the Thames-side paths in Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve, just a few minutes walk away. Sleeps up to 10 | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms
