Set over five acres of beautiful Oxfordshire farmland, this cosy loft home is a lovely choice for a romantic getaway to the countryside. You'll be surrounded by landscaped gardens and unspoilt views towards the Goring Gap. Plus, Oxford lies just twenty minutes away by train while London Paddington is an hour from your door. Additionally, there's a pub within easy walking distance for effortless suppers after busy days spent traversing the fields. It's worth noting that babies in their own Moses basket are welcome to stay, though pets are not allowed due to the farmland animals.
