Meet Owls Barn, our gorgeous new Bampton holiday h

Meet Owls Barn, our gorgeous new Bampton holiday home set in the heart of the Chimney Nature Reserve. Big views, peaceful walking routes and a bright open-plan living space make it perfect for friends, families and the dog. Five beautifully styled bedrooms give everyone room to unwind, while the garden, BBQ terrace and dreamy copper bath house bring a real sense of escape.

Wildlife fills the surrounding fields, and you’re just minutes from Bampton, one of the key filming locations for Downton Abbey. Explore the village, enjoy a countryside pub walk, then return to this calming retreat for slow dinners, cosy evenings by the woodburner and long, lazy mornings.

Take a trip to 'Venice of the Cotswolds'! ✨ Bour

Take a trip to 'Venice of the Cotswolds'! ✨

Bourton-on-the-Water is a wonderful destination to soak in some of the best the Cotswolds has to offer, from charming Cotswold stone houses to the Windrush River that trickles through this idyllic village. It’s one of our most loved places to escape to.

Little Forge, based in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, is a favourite of ours. Offering all the cosiness and charm of its surroundings, it’s an ideal stay for two looking to retreat and unwind. This characterful home features exposed beams, Cotswold stone and thoughtful interiors designed with comfort in mind.

Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming living space made for relaxed mornings and quiet evenings by the fire. Natural light filters through, creating a peaceful atmosphere for reading, lingering over a drink, or simply taking a breath after a day exploring. The kitchen, brightened by a skylight, offers a lovely spot to prepare something delicious before retreating to the cosy bedroom at the far end of the cottage. Here, a generous bed and a stylish en-suite bring a touch of comfort and countryside indulgence.

We love all our cottages, but if there were prizes

We love all our cottages, but if there were prizes for personifying 'Cotswolds charm', it's fair to say Browns Cottage would take the crown .👑

Like stepping into 'The Holiday' alongside Cameron and Jude, Browns exists to recreate those charming, cosy moments for yourself. From sipping morning coffee in the sunlit courtyard to curling up together in front of the fireplace, this 17th-century townhouse captures that dreamy, storybook feel. Modern comforts meet historic character, making it the perfect backdrop for a little romance or a slower-paced escape with someone special.

Upstairs, two king-size bedrooms, a single room and two stylish bathrooms give you space to relax and unwind. Stroll into Charlbury for the village pubs, independent shops, and countryside walks, then return to your private haven to toast the day in front of the open fire. Whether you’re chasing the magic of the movie or simply enjoying the charm of the Cotswolds, Browns Cottage is an intimate, unforgettable retreat.

Looking to get away with friends or family? Lower

Looking to get away with friends or family?

Lower Farmhouse is a beautiful countryside escape made up of two charming Cotswold homes: the main Todenham Farmhouse and its neighbouring Stockmans cottage. Together they sleep 14 guests across seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, welcoming up to three dogs too!

🐑 Set on a family-run working farm, this is a place where you can stroll to the award-winning farm shop for breakfast treats, and enjoy dinner at the on-site restaurant, Herd. The farmhouse is perfect for family gatherings with its elegant dining room and snug for the children, while Stockmans Cottage offers a little extra privacy for couples or grandparents joining the trip.

Surrounded by open countryside, you can set out on long walks straight from your door or venture to the nearby the luxurious Daylesford Organic for a taste of Cotswold life. Lower Farmhouse blends space, comfort and rural charm to create a truly special stay.
