Garden Tales

Garden Tales: Oxfordshire

Whether you’re in search of a cosy countryside escape or an action-packed Cotswold adventure, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from its peaceful spot just outside Barford St John. Dating back to the 16th century, this old watermill still retains a wonderful sense of character, while also offering comfort, warmth and a range of luxurious extras – including an outdoor hot tub, roll-top bath and wood-burning stove. Children and dogs are welcome here – although they will need to be supervised by the stream in the garden. From here, you’ll find great walking trails, plus it’s just a short drive to neighbouring Great Tew and Soho Farmhouse.

Home truths:
*There is off-street parking for up to five cars here.
*This home is located within the grounds of a working farm. Alongside the main house, you'll also find an independent garden annexe with two bedrooms and bathrooms.
*Please note there are low beams, multiple floors and sloped ceilings here.
*The super-king bed can be arranged as two singles upon request.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot (you’ll need to bring your own linen) and a high chair for free upon request.
*There’s a starter supply of wood provided for the wood-burning stove from October to April.
*Please note there is an unfenced river at the bottom of the garden – children will need to be supervised here at all times.
