Add to Shortlist
Oak Tree Cottage is part of a lovely old stone barn built in the 1800s that stands surrounded by open fields, often filled with sheep, and offers a real sense of rural tranquillity. This cosy and welcoming retreat is a delightful countryside escape that sleeps four guests in two bedrooms and is perfectly placed for exploring the eastern reaches of the Cotswolds with Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Bourton-on-the-Water easily accessible. The property is joined to The Gallery, forming King John’s Barn, and they can be booked together or independently.
                                               
Full Description
As you follow the country lanes through Oxfordshire you get a real sense of the rural setting for this lovely barn. Although just a short distance from the village of Leafield and the popular Cotswold town of Burford, Oak Tree Cottage has a feeling of peace. Surrounded by open countryside with distant views and vast skies this is the perfect Cotswold escape.

Oak Tree Cottage sleeps four guests and as you approach along the driveway, forms the right-hand side of the barn. The traditional, country-style interior is warm and homely and the original oak beams can be seen throughout. The ground floor is open plan in style with a cosy living area, dining area with double doors to the exterior courtyard and a well-equipped kitchen space. The living area has two comfy sofas, a smart TV and plenty of information, maps, and guidebooks on the local area. Windows give natural light and the triangular spaces, possibly former owl holes, in the barn walls have been glazed and retained as part of the original structure.

The staircase splits left and right leading to two bedrooms, both with timber ceilings and wooden beams. One bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a large deep-set window where you can perch and contemplate the sheep. The second bedroom has one Velux window, complete with blinds to ensure no early sunrise alarm calls and there’s a further shower room.

Outside there is a gravel courtyard with a garden table and chairs, here you can sit and relax with your morning coffee as you listen to the sounds of the countryside and admire the wonderful sunsets.

Reviews

I stayed at Oak Tree Cottage whilst building work was being carried out on my home, it was a real haven. The cottage was warm and peaceful and I had everything I needed.My daughter joined me for a few days and the accommodation worked really well with each bedroom having its own bathroom.I live in the village so am probably biased about the area but there is plenty to do within a short drive including The Fox.

Really enjoyed our anniversary break and we had wonderful weather. The cottage is very cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Ideally situated for great days out. The Fox in Leafield was absolutely delicious and very friendly staff.

We had a lovely stay here with our 2 children. The countryside surrounding the property is beautiful and the children loved the sheep.
