Beautifully decorated in a classic style, this seven-bed Cotswold stone farmhouse is the perfect location for celebrating special occasions or gathering friends to make memories. The farmhouse sits nestled at the heart of what was once a working farm, now fully diversified and dedicated to tourism.

The muted interior has sparks of colour giving each room its own personality. A well-equipped modern farmhouse kitchen has everything you could need to serve meals in the stunning dining room and the living room has a cosy woodburner. You will find eye-catching artwork throughout which is in keeping with your surroundings, showing landscapes and farmers’ markets. Outside is a spacious lawn and patio with large picnic benches and a fire pit.
Full Description
A short distance outside Charlbury, Banbury Hill Farmhouse is set among similar farm buildings alongside the lovely Cotswold View Caravan & Camping Park. With its own gravelled drive and parking area, the cottage sits at one side of the lawned garden and patio. A number of walking routes lead from the cottage and it is an easy distance from Chipping Norton and other charming villages.

The farmhouse has been beautifully decorated throughout with all the features you would expect in a relaxing home from home. A well-equipped kitchen provides space for children to eat in the adjoining breakfast bar area and the stunning dining room with open stonework is a wonderful space for the whole group to spend time together. A sitting room with a woodburner and sink-in sofas give room to relax and put your feet up at the end of the day. The central foyer and grand staircase take you to the first and second floors with seven bedrooms, many with unique en-suites. There will be no fighting over the best room as each is equally stylish.

Patio doors open from the dining room to the paved patio looking out over the Cotswold hills and rolling farmland. The garden has a lawned area and is fenced with gated access allowing the children to play safely. You can dine outside on fine evenings and light the firepit to keep the cold at bay. Beyond the garden, well-signed trails take you around the surrounding farmland where you can find sheep and donkeys.

Ground Floor


Entrance Hall:
Entering the farmhouse, you are first met by an American style fridge-freezer, a Belfast sink and a dishwasher in the entrance hall. A hamper filled with your breakfast favourites will be waiting for you outside the back door every day you wake up, carefully chosen from local suppliers like Bampton Butchers, Mayfield Eggs, and Marks Bakery.

Kitchen:
The kitchen has been beautifully decorated in fresh white and grey and is fitted with all the modern conveniences you would expect. After your long journey, you will be welcomed by a homemade cake that will be waiting for you on the kitchen island. The electric AGA is ideal for cooking up delicious meals for the entire family and the central island ensures there is enough counter space for preparing vegetables. A second dishwasher and fridge/freezer means nobody will be stuck doing the washing up and reduces the need for trips to the supermarket, giving you more time to spend together. The kitchen leads into a breakfast bar area which seats four, great for the children in the morning. You will also find a TV, wine fridge, and a host of games stored here.

Utility Room/Boot Room:
From the kitchen, you can step through into the handy boot room which provides the perfect space for storing walking boots, jackets and backpacks. Here you will also find the utility room which is equipped with a washing machine, dryer and sink.

Foyer:
The kitchen then leads you into the foyer at the centre of the house. A grand staircase takes you up to the floors above and the modern cast iron chandelier will catch your eye. A large mirror, dresser and armchair make this a nice area to sit and wait for the rest of the family to be ready for the day’s adventure. From the foyer there is a WC and a door which opens to the patio, lawn and beyond.

Dining Room:
This stunning dining room creates a beautiful backdrop to family celebrations. Seating 14 you can gather around the large wooden table and serve delicious homecooked meals, enjoy a glass of champagne and spend the evening reminiscing and telling stories. The blue walls are lined with historic photos of the farm while parts of the stonework has been left open as a nod to this building’s past. In the corner is what was once Charlbury Quarry reception desk, now restored and acting as a bar area to serve cocktails from. Patio doors open to the garden where you can enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside and hills.

Living Room:
The comfortable and quiet living room is a cosy spot to gather in front of the woodburner with a book or enjoy a film on the large wall mounted TV. Softly lit by ceiling and table lights you can unwind on the velvet sofas which seat 7 or perch on the window seat enjoying the view of the duck pond, livestock, and hills beyond.

First Floor


Up the central staircase you reach the first floor landing with large paintings overlooking the foyer below.

Bedroom One:
This first king-size double to the right of the stairs has been decorated in white and overlooks the duck pond and garden.

Bathroom:
This family bathroom features a bath with rainfall shower above, WC, heated towel rail and sink unit. It has the only bath on this floor and is ideal for guests staying in the twin bedroom.

Making a clever use of the space, this compact king-size double room has a sliding door hiding either the storage cupboard or the en-suite. This room looks out to other farm buildings and the old stables. There is a bedside table with lamps to each side of the bed and a mirror.

En-Suite:
Behind the sliding door is an en-suite shower room with walk in shower with rainfall head, WC, small sink and heated towel rail.

Bedroom Three:
A great room for younger members of the family, this twin room has a chest of drawers with lamp between the beds, a full-length mirror and a footstool.

Bedroom Four:

Looking out to the fields and hills beyond it is a relaxing room where you can get away from it all. Two bedside tables with lamps and a chest of drawers offer lots of storage options.

En-Suite:
This bedroom benefits from an en-suite with a large walk-in shower decorated with eye-catching patterned blue tiles. A WC, sink, heated towel rail and quirky round window finish this room.

Bedroom Five:
Set under the eaves, this twin room has two single beds with feature headboards and a single bedside table and lamp between them. An open hanging rail and chest of drawers provide storage and there is a full-length mirror. A skylight window allows in light but it cannot be opened fully to ensure this room is safe for all guests.

Bedroom Six:
At the back of the house this king-size double room is a retreat from the buzz and noise of family gatherings. With a statement headboard and matching soft furnishings this is a comfortable room to relax in. An armchair gives a place to enjoy a book and there is a hanging rail and chest of drawers. Two bedside tables with lamps, a mirror and the skylight window bring light in.

Shower Room and WC:
As none of the second-floor bedrooms come with an en-suite, there is a useful shower room and separate WC. Decorated with colourful tiles the shower room has a step-in cubicle with rainfall head, WC and a sink unit. Next door is an equally well-decorated WC and sink.

Bedroom Seven:
The final king-size double room has an extra splash of colour with a feature khaki green wall. This delightful room has an armchair, hanging rail and chest of drawers to store your belongings. There is also a full-length mirror to check your outfit before heading down for dinner.

Outside


The garden is a wonderful space with a large lawn for the children to play, two picnic benches for enjoying outdoor meals and a fire pit to roast marshmallows in the evenings. Why not visit the neighbouring café, The Old Shed, and treat yourself to a cake and hot drink to enjoy in your own space. A gravelled area creates a driveway to the rear of the cottage where there is parking space for 5 cars.

Reviews

We had an amazing time at Banbury Hill Farmhouse. 5 Adults, 2 dogs and 4 children aged 3, 4, 5 and 6. It ticked all our boxes. The Farmhouse is beautiful and has everything you could possibly want all very high spec. We really enjoyed the woodland walks and used the tennis court, play area, football pitch and zip wire. The children loved seeing the animals. The welcome hamper and daily delivery of bread and pastries was brilliant. It was the perfect venue for our family get together and will return.

We had a lovely time in a great quality house. Perfect for a group of friends with our families. The fresh food left for us was very kind and it was a great treat to have the basket of pastries each morning. Thanks!

As a geographically dispersed family of 14 we don’t get to meet up very often, so staying at the farmhouse was a special event. We comprise grandparents, parents and five children, the youngest five months old. And we loved it. Great location, wonderful house, plenty of space. We’ve stayed in many houses, UK and Europe, and this was voted the best. We felt the owners went above our expectations with the breakfasts and treats they provided. And those of us who cooked had everything we needed to prepare our main meals.The fittings and furnishings are all top quality. It’s a bonus having a cafe on site. The environment is beautiful and walks within easy access.Thanks to the owners for ensuring we had the right ingredients for a great family experience.

We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous, well equipped, and welcoming farmhouse, we were a party of nine adults and three children and there was ample room for everyone, each room was a pleasure to be in and the children loved visiting the animals on the farm. The hospitality was excellent with lovely touches such as the beautiful home cooked cake waiting for us on arrival, which demanded our immediate attention and was delicious. There was a well-stocked fridge with all we could want for breakfast and pastries delivered in the morning. The house is in an excellent location to visit places such as Woodstock, Blenheim, and the surrounding area. We love the Cotswolds and cannot wait to come back to this farmhouse!

Wonderful stay and some great little touches to make the stay even more enjoyable. We stayed with 10 friends, a baby and a dog for a weekend and took advantage of the coffee shop, disc golf and country walks all on our door step. The stocked fridge and the homemade cake on the side were a lovely touch.

Absolutely fantastic, beautiful property and decor completed to perfection! The additional breakfast items were delicious and very enjoyed by all. The surrounding areas were lovely. We got to see different animals and go on local walks. Perfect location nice and quiet but not far from towns. Everything was spotless and we can’t wait to book again! Brilliant value for money.

We were a group of friends who stayed in the farmhouse for a long weekend. The Farmhouse has been very well furnished with attention to detail and with a very well-equipped kitchen. The house was spotlessly clean. On arrival is a lovely homemade cake and a fridge full of delicious food for breakfast. Each morning a hamper of fresh bread and pastries is left on your doorstep. The staff on the site were very helpful and friendly. The location is excellent for exploring the Cotswolds and we enjoyed watching the goats and ducks on site. Charlbury is a charming village and we had a lovely supper at The Bull. I could highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful weekend and loved the farmhouse. We found it very clean and comfortable with lots of space for children to play and adults to relax. We arrived to find a delicious cake, pastries, fruit, milk and other provisions had been left for us - much appreciated. Every morning fresh pastries were delivered and we loved having our breakfast at the big dining table overlooking the field with the duckpond and goats. The farm has The Old Shed café, woodland walks, animals to look at, a playground etc so plenty to do on-site as well. It was a lovely place to spend the weekend and make family memories.

Location

Banbury Hill Farm lies in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds in an area of outstanding natural beauty over-looking the Evenlode Valley and Wychwood Forest. Set in 54 acres of rolling, wooded farmland The Farmhouse offers the peace & tranquillity of the countryside in which to relax and enjoy your holiday or weekend break. The Farmhouse is ideally positioned for exploring Charlbury and the surrounding Cotswolds.

Charlbury is a small but lively and vibrant market town that has escaped the hordes of Cotswold tourists, making it a justifiable member of the ‘Undiscovered Cotswold Club’, yet it is only an hour from London by train and just 15 minutes’ drive from Soho Farmhouse. The town is full of historic 17th- and 18th-century buildings, has great pubs, independent shops, a local history museum, and is in a beautiful setting on the meandering River Evenlode with fabulous walking and cycling.
