In the village of Shipton-under-Wychwood, this tiny home offers a huge escape from the modern world. Without wi-fi and TV, the emphasis is on the meadow views – imagine toasting marshmallows over the fire pit and enjoying a glass of wine in the good weather. There may only be a log burner to keep you warm, but the foldaway dining table and under-bed storage make the most of the compact indoor space. We love that you're not far from Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, or Burton-on-the-Water. Plus, there are gastropubs and other Cotswold sights within easy driving distance.

Home truths:
*There's no wi-fi or TV here. You might find that the phone signal is also patchy, but a 3G connection is usually attainable.
*The maximum occupancy is two guests and one infant. While your host can provide a high chair on request, you'll need to bring your own cot.
*There's no central heating. A supply of wood is provided for the log burner, and you'll have an electric heater in the cold weather.
*This home's water is provided via a well. The drinking water is filtered and UV sterilised, but bottled water can be provided upon request.
*Charcoal and wood are provided for the firepit.
*There's free off-street parking for one car. We recommend hiring a car.
*This home is on the owner's grounds and sheep may graze in the nearby fields.
