Where the Green Grass Grows: Oxfordshire

Cosy, contemporary and oozing charm, this delightful cottage has something for everyone. Nestled on the edge of the Chiltern Hills AONB, we think it's the perfect base for exploring, especially with Henley-on-Thames (fifteen minutes), Reading (five minutes) and Oxford (forty-five minutes) all within driving distance. A little closer to home, you'll find miles of rolling countryside to roam on foot or by bike, plus golfing and horseback riding are popular, too. Make sure to swing by the village pub (it's a ten-minute walk away) and treat yourself to a delicious meal and refreshing pint – it's the ideal way to end the evening.

Or, if you prefer to take things slow, idle away cloudless afternoons in the private garden. Flanked by blooms, greenery and tall trees, it's a peaceful place to unwind with a cup of tea or a glass of wine – when the sun goes down, gather around the fire pit as the stars twinkle overhead. Inside, high vaulted ceilings, generously-sized windows and a crisp white colour scheme give the whole place a laid-back Scandinavian feel. It's utterly inviting – we can already picture ourselves sprawled out on the sumptuous sofas, watching a film on the TV (Netflix and Sky are included) and reading books by the crackling fire. While home chefs will adore rustling up meals on the AGA cooker, the grand family bathroom has to be our favourite spot – think lavish rainfall shower, lush free-standing bathtub and skylights flooding the whole room with sunshine.

Home truths:
*The main bedroom is on the first floor, while the other two are on the ground level – this could be a good option for those with limited mobility
*There's children's play equipment in the garden and woodland that guests are allowed to use
*Animals live in the paddocks, so please do not enter without permission
*This cottage is part of a wider estate, but you'll have a private entrance and a private garden
*We suggest a car for ease – there's on-site parking for up to four cars
*If you don't want to drive, you can catch a train from London Paddington to Reading – there's a bus stop close to this cottage that goes to Reading Town Centre
