Live the stone cottage dream at this 16th-century period home, squirreled away in the picturesque market town of Woodstock and just a three-minute walk from the breathtakingly beautiful Blenheim Palace Estate. Sitting in the home's pretty walled garden, you could feel a world away from anywhere here. Yet you're just a five-minute stroll from the town's thriving centre with welcoming country inns, restaurants, boutique shops, and galleries aplenty. And, of course, Blenheim Palace is never far away to take a turn around Capability Brown's gardens and the two-mile-long Marlborough Maze. Back at home, this quaint cottage set out over three floors has been elegantly reimagined into a luxurious holiday retreat while retaining that all-important character. Curl up in the storybook armchair and get your glow beside the crackling log-burner fire. When thoughts turn to food, come together for an atmospheric evening meal – the shaker-style kitchen has all the mod-cons you could need to flex your culinary muscles. Or enjoy alfresco barbecues in the pretty walled garden. And when it's finally time to catch some Zs, discover one big hug of a bed waiting upstairs. Set out over two floors, both bedrooms offer large, comfy beds. The super king bed in bedroom... two can be separated into twin beds on request, so there'll be no need to tussle for the best room here.
