Opposite the somewhat iconic Osney Power Station – the first powerplant in Oxford – it's also within walking distance of some of the finest bars and restaurants. The house is modern after a renovation in 2017, where the addition of skylights also brightens the home.

Getting cosy in the Cotswolds has never looked better than when staying at this colourful barn. We love its playful and fun design – your hosts have let their imagination run wild. There’s a great colour palette going on here – pink, teal and palm prints in the large, beamed kitchen, a sumptuous navy in the living room, and a different tone in each of the six bedrooms. There are also not one, not two, but three freestanding bathtubs to choose from – a yellow one in the master, a pink-checked one, and an outdoor tub for when you want to feel a little wild and free. 

For warmer, sunny days, the barn surrounds a private courtyard where you can catch a few rays if you’re lucky, or simply enjoy an alfresco meal – there’s even a Weber barbecue for you to flex your culinary muscles. Outside the comforting walls of the home, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy. The Cotswolds is renowned for its charming, honey-stone villages, and of course, you’re never far from a pub. There’s also plenty of walking to be done if you feel the need to stretch your legs. But don’t stay away too long – that outdoor tub is surely calling your name.

The open-plan living area is a social space to unwind after a day exploring the cobbles and quads, and both bedroom have king-size beds so there’s no fighting over who gets the master.

Steeped in history yet thoroughly modern, this Grade II-listed cottage is heaped with country-chic character. In the open-plan living space, a soft sofa invites you to take the weight off your feet – ideally with a cup of tea or glass of wine in hand. After riffling through the book-stuffed shelves, head into the carefully conceived kitchen to chop, season and assemble dishes as your hungry companions wait eagerly in the bright dining area. 

Outside, a patio garden filled with plants and birdsong is the perfect spot to sip an espresso before exploring your surroundings. A thirty-minute walk or ten-minute bus ride places you at the Ashmolean Museum, famous for its collections of art and archaeology. Stroll around the University Parks and Christchurch Meadow on sunny afternoons or broaden your history knowledge at Oxford Castle. When it’s time for dinner, check out the restaurants, pubs and bars that cluster around Summertown and Jericho.

Highwayman’s Cottage

Nestled in Oxford’s illustrious city centre stands this grand 17th-century home. As a Grade II Star-Listed building, every inch of the abode exudes luxury. Despite the rich tapestry and ornate finishes, this home is packed with mod-cons that make your stay extra special. 

From starting off your day in the rainfall shower to sinking into the Vispring elite mattresses, you’ll feel pampered from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep. Two of the bedrooms even get a view of the famed Oxford Castle – you get the full royal treatment here. The other two get an equally lovely view of the shared courtyard – you’ll love nipping outside in the mornings, savouring a freshly brewed coffee while catching up on the evening’s news.

Although this characterful home gives hints of its long history, you wouldn’t know it from the super-sleek, contemporary kitchen. It’s been kitted out to suit a modern preference, tempting even the most reluctant of chefs. But if you’re sticking to your word and not cooking during your getaway, a private chef can take care of that for you. 

When it comes to exploring the city, you’re steps away from Oxford’s most notable sights, although you wouldn’t think it from behind your tall security gates. Take a stroll along the canal, explore the museums, and finish off the day in a traditional, cosy pub. 

Grand Beginnings

Escape the tourist traps of central Oxford at this smart apartment set in a leafy suburb that's just a 15-minute journey from the centre. While this serviced apartment may be part of a purpose-built, modern building, it feels surprisingly homely, and the Juliet balcony and shared gardens are a nice touch for any downtime. For local amenities, head to nearby Summertown's local shops and restaurants (half a mile on foot) or the bohemian neighbourhood of Jericho, just a 20-minute stroll away.

Hague Blue

Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Chimney, right on the edge of the Cotswolds, this family-friendly barn is ideal for a country getaway. It has oodles of character – hello, wood-burning stove – and plenty of space. We love how the beamed A-frame ceilings, large windows and sumptuous seating create a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you want to flex your culinary muscles in the well-stocked kitchen, curl up with an engrossing read in front of the fire, or make the most of warm weather and head outside to the garden, you'll feel right at home here.

The enclosed courtyard is ideal for both pups and kids to run around in – while they play, adults can lounge on the outdoor sofa with a drink in hand, keeping an eye out for deer, birds and other wildlife. If you're in the mood to barbecue, there's an alfresco dining table and a Weber grill, but the real highlight is the heated tin bath – perfect for 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. Fancy staying closer to home? Enjoy an afternoon ramble around the Thames-side paths in Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve (just a few minutes' walk away), relax with a glass of wine in the shared on-site wild meadow or wander the 13-acres of land on your doorstep.

Pretend you're an Oxford don for the weekend at this spectacular garden-level Victorian home in the heart of the world-famous university city. This apartment is steeped in history and has some gorgeous original features, including spectacular bay windows in the living room, an ornate stone fireplace and buffed wooden floors. But the styling is undoubtedly modern here, with an almost Scandinavian touch. We love the muted colours - creams, eggshell and dove grey - with the odd pop of colour in the bedrooms (check out the super-soft orange bedding) and geometric print furnishings in the living room. We can imagine a spectacular dinner party held at the industrial-style dining table, with its wooden top and steel legs, before retiring in the living room to admire the black and white Jackson Pollack-style artwork over a glass of wine. This home is in Summertown, Oxford's most bohemian neighbourhood, and well-known for its organic wine bars, buzzy restaurants and independent shops. The city's main sights - the university, cathedral and punting on the river - are all a 10-minute walk away. 

The Palin

Behind a secure, entry-coded gate, is this impressive 17th-century house. It isn’t just us that find it impressive – it’s a Grade II Star-Listed building, standing proud in the heart of Oxford City Centre. But don’t be fooled by its long 400-year history that’s ever-present through the rich tapestry and classic furniture, this home is packed with mod-cons. With Vispring elite mattresses, rainfall showers, surround sound, designer fittings, and so much more, this home is as luxurious as can be. 

The finishes of natural stone bathrooms and bespoke woodwork are certainly grand, but what you’ll love most is how these touches make you feel. Let yourself be inspired by the style and elegance, pulling you to work on something creative in your study. 

On sunny days, prepare your specialty in the kitted-out kitchen to be enjoyed alfresco in the delightful, shared garden, washed down with a crisp glass of wine. Or if cooking isn’t on the cards on your getaway, let a private chef wow you with gourmet meals.

When it comes to exploring the city, you’re within walking distance of all the sights and attractions. Spend a morning walking through the cobblestone streets, strolling along the whimsical canal, before taking in a dose of culture at a museum. And of course, every day is best finished off in a traditional cosy pub. 

Head of the House

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. 

Wax Lyrical

In a city as historic as Oxford, famous buildings and heritage sites are around every corner. You'll find this cosy apartment on one of the city's most iconic and picturesque residential streets – noted figures like Harriet Shaw Weaver, John Edward Campbell and Sir Richard Doll all called this road home. It's the perfect spot for exploring this scholarly area, as Oxford's bustling centre and its array of pubs, landmarks and colleges are just a few minutes away by bus (or a twenty-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs). After a long day filled with sightseeing, book browsing and delicious eats, come home and unwind in this stylish apartment. Sink into the sumptuous sofas with a glass of wine and a good book, whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen or, when the weather is nice, retreat to the private garden for alfresco drinks in the evening sun. We love the traditional, sophisticated style inside – features like the original fireplace have been lovingly preserved, but white walls, gold accents and a stylish contemporary kitchen keep things modern. Whether you're snoozing in the comfortable bedrooms, relaxing under the rainfall shower or working remotely at the desk, this Oxford flat is sure to have you feeling right at home in no time.

The Freewoman

With endless countryside views and a wonderful location, this home makes the ideal setting for a refreshing rural escape. It’s a short drive into the market town of Witney, while the close proximity to the Cotswolds means easy access to beautiful hiking and cycle trails. Private parking is available and you’ll have access to a peaceful garden with outdoor seating and hammocks. Inside, the sitting room lends itself perfectly to cosy evenings by the fire. There is also a snug on the first-floor which doubles up as a bedroom thanks to the sofa bed. 

The Willow Tree

Sitting within a traditional red-brick building on one of North Oxford's most iconic residential streets, this handsome apartment offers a lesson in relaxation and pared-back style. 

From its herringbone wood floors to its contemporary decor and ample natural light, you’ll feel positively privileged lounging in the living room – a good book and a glass of wine in hand – or catching up on work at the window-side desk, taking in the views of the leafy communal garden for some inspiration. 

With a pair of comfortable bedrooms – one of which also has garden views – as well as all the home comforts you need with a well-equipped kitchen and a sleek bathroom, you’re all set for a carefree stay. 

As for sightseeing, you’re a twenty-minute walk from the Ashmolean Museum, a twenty-four-minute stroll from the Bodleian Library, while Port Meadow is nine minutes away on foot. 


Academia Always

This delightful family home can be found in the quiet village of Church Hanborough, perfectly positioned for exploring Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. There are pubs a mile away, and attractions including Blenheim Palace within easy reach. This home is ideal for families and groups of friends, as there’s lots of room for spending time together – though, with just one bathroom, you may need to coordinate shower slots. We love the open-plan living and dining space, which opens onto a pretty apple-tree-filled garden. 

Oak & Thyme

This exquisite home offers a tailor-made experience for those wanting luxury, pro-level hosting, with the possibility of a fully catered stay accompanied by some seriously high-end food. It's the perfect place for extended families or a group of couples to get together to hold a special celebration or event together. There aren't any cafes or shops nearby, but you won't want for anything with glorious grounds, fantastic food, sublime rooms and antiques to admire at every turn. In short, this peaceful countryside retreat is the dream ticket out of the city. Inside, the design is eclectic – a refined mix of traditional and antique pieces – but it's warm and homely, so you won't feel as though you're tiptoeing around a museum. In the warmer months, savour the extensive gardens with alfresco drinks, or head to the terrace with plenty of seating, as well as a pizza oven and a separate barbecue. This regal home is a foodie's delight. If you can bring yourself to leave, to the south lie the North Wessex Downs, while half an hour north will see you arrive at the dreaming spires of Oxford.

A charming little cottage in the Oxfordshire countryside, it's so idyllic that House & Garden magazine deemed it worthy of gracing their pages. With exposed beams, original flagstone flooring and a reassuringly solid oak dining table, your host has ensured not to lose that quaint cottage feel by bringing everything into the twenty-first century. After kicking your boots off in the utility room, the cosy sitting room with its inviting fireplace and antique furniture makes for a lovely spot to warm up after bracing winter walks.

This family home is well-located to explore one of England’s most beautiful cities. Though parts of the house could be freshened up a bit, you still have everything you need here for a comfortable stay, including a nicely sized garden with a couple of seating areas – perfect for enjoying a family barbecue. Besides, you’ll want to make the most of what this historic city has to offer. A thirty-minute walk or twenty-minute bus ride takes you into the heart of Oxford, adorned with its iconic colleges, Gothic buildings and a plethora of eateries. 

The Fiddlehead

In the picturesque village of Wolvercote, just three miles north of Oxford’s city centre, you will find this pretty Victorian conversion home that overlooks an ancient meadow land called Port Meadow, which runs along the River Thames and into Oxford. Some residents, even have ancient grazing rights to keep horses, cattle, and geese in the meadow, so keep an eye out for animals as you explore the area.

Enjoy leisurely breakfasts on sunny mornings in the sun-trapped and walled rear garden with its pretty plants making it ideal for alfresco dining. We would also love nothing more than to spend some time quietly reading here too before we head out for the day. Visit the historic Oxford city centre – which can be reached in just three miles by car. Or, if you have plenty of energy, then Oxford can be reached by walking along the canal or across the meadow. 

Then, after a busy day, return home and cook delicious dinners in the handmade bespoke oak kitchen with its gas double oven, and dine alfresco in the courtyard garden. 

Floral My Lovers

This home is just as charming as the idyllic town in which it sits. The interior eschews minimalism for full-on floral patterns, characterful pieces of botanical artwork and vintage-inspired furnishings — can you honestly say you weren't happy to see that four-poster bed?

While the kitchen may be on the smaller side and lacks a hob, oven or cooking facilities, fortunately, there are plenty of restaurants in Woodstock, from a brasserie to less formal pubs. In addition, Blenheim Palace and its surrounding parkland can be entered in three mintues' walk from your front door. Further afield, the walking routes and viewpoints of the Cotswolds AONB can be reached easily in the car.

Masterpiece

In a residential neighbourhood just outside of Oxford, this apartment offers a comfortable home-from-home with great connections to the centre. There’s parking here, so you can easily drive into the city, or hop on the bus just outside the apartment. The patio may not be the most inspired, though it’s a nice option for morning coffee. Similarly, the kitchen is a little dated, but it’s well-equipped for nights you feel like eating in. That said, you’ll find Headington's local pubs and cafes within walking distance.

Oxford Olive

Single-Level Home

Explore the historical city of Oxford from this family home – the striking architecture, pubs and shops are just a ten-minute drive or bus ride away. Situated in the village of Botley, this quiet bungalow offers a private garden and dining patio, a conservatory, and driveway parking for up to two cars. It's also a great option for those with limited mobility thanks to it all being on one level too. While the decor isn't particularly homely or unique, all three bedrooms are bright and well-kept, and the modern living room offers a log burner for those greyer afternoons curled up on the sofa. 

Whiskers

Small but functional, this apartment located in Summertown is a no-fuss base for a solo traveller or couple.

The Country Life

Sitting on the edge of the Cotswolds, this pet-friendly barn conversion overlooks the River Windrush water meadows. While some spots of this home have reduced privacy, including the mezzanine bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with two access points, we love the open-concept living space for casual itinerary planning. The complimentary starter pack and baby travel equipment offer bonuses, but there are gaps in the garden fence which makes supervision necessary. With ample parking, ticking Blenheim Palace and the Bodleian Library off your bucket list is easy.

With a whole host of eateries in the village and surrounding area, dining out is sure to be on the menu, and for days out with the family, nearby Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds Wildlife Park are must-sees. 

A Walk in the Cotswolds

In the idyllic Oxfordshire village of Stanton St John, this red-roofed barn conversation is the best of country and city. It may be a rural base, but the charming centre of Oxford is a fifteen-minute drive away. Stanton St John has everything you need with a village shop and farm shop within a five-minute walk. Plus, meandering country walks are right on your doorstep. The home itself has been beautifully designed, with honey-hued stonework fitting in with the rustic aesthetic and a wooden pergola dappled with climbing plants shading the outdoor seating area. Just next to this there’s a big lawn which creates the back garden. Glass folding doors open up to blend indoors with outdoors so you can listen to the hum of bees and smell the flowering lavender from the breakfast table. The living room is a cosy snug, dominated by the plush velvet corner sofa as oil paintings look on. Come bedtime, bedrooms in Victorian floral splendour provide a plush place to lay your head. 

Ivy & Lace

After many years unoccupied, this former barn was treated to a complete revamp in the late 2010s. Today, a remarkable home awaits guests visiting rural Oxfordshire. Huge glass walls and stark white walls mean that the space feels immediately bright and inviting, while there's a superb mix of modern touches and more homely furnishings — bold pieces of artwork and the sleek grey kitchen sit quite happily alongside deep red rugs and picnic baskets repurposed as coffee tables.

Out through the glass doors, there's a charming walled garden complete with a lawn, patio and neat plant beds. Bat boxes and an owl loft have also been incorporated into the property to help the local wildlife. If you fancy a little more nature-spotting, there are plenty of walking routes throughout the surrounding Blenheim Estate. The city of Oxford takes around twenty-five minutes to reach in the car, too.

Just a stone's throw from Blenheim Palace and a fifteen-minute drive from Soho Farmhouse, this may be the peaceful Oxfordshire countryside, but there's so much to see and do. While many similar properties have had their original features removed or just covered up, The Bowler Hat presents a very authentic look, with lots of added stylish touches. Cosy up in from of a wood-burning stove or soak your troubles away in the sumptuous roll-top bath. The kitchen may look rustic but it's actually modernised and well-equipped – perfect to rustle up a feast to be enjoyed alfresco in your private sunny courtyard, British weather allowing.
