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.
