This 19th-century Cotswold cottage is perfect for an idyllic escape to the country. With a private garden full of hidden nooks outside, and a cosy log-burner inside, you’re set for any season here. We love the period features at this home, although the low ceilings may not suit taller guests. Location-wise, you’re in the village of Deddington, where you can browse the antique shops, stock up on goodies at the bakery, and enjoy a pint in one of the local pubs after walking the dog. And if day trips are on the cards, Blenheim Palace – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is a fifteen-minute drive away.

Home truths:
*The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. The shower in particular might not be suitable for taller guests.
*The home is on a village road that can get busy, so children and pets will need to be supervised when entering and leaving.
*Your host may be able to accommodate an earlier check-in time. This must be arranged in advance.
*Guests are asked not to make excessive noise at this home.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free on-street parking nearby.
