This wonderful cottage is situated on the owner’s farm with its own private area to ensure a relaxing break away from it all. The local village of Shabbington has a riverside pub and the River Thame borders the property with riverside walks nearby.  Thame (3.9 miles) is worth a visit for its weekly market on Tuesday.

Also easily accessible is Oxford (12.5 miles), renowned for its world class colleges and stunning architecture across the city. To enjoy a little bit of retail therapy, Bicester Village is only 14 miles away. Head up the driveway up through the farm to the cottage, which has its own private area for you to be able to relax and enjoy this peaceful location.

 As you step into the cottage you will be able to discard boots and coats in a useful cupboard within the hallway after a busy day exploring. Make your way into the lounge which has comfortable seating and a Smart TV. There are patio doors with views across the farm and access out to the front of the cottage. Off the lounge there is a fully equipped kitchen. Head back into the hallway and you will find three bedrooms, one double and two singles, along with a bathroom. All of the bedrooms have TVs.

The owner has created a fantastic enclosed outdoor space to really be able to switch off, with a lovely outdoor seating area with charcoal BBQ, fire pit and hot tub. There are views across the rolling fields and privacy is assured.

The property has a superb location with views across fields on both sides. We saw foxes, rabbits and Red kites and there are walks from the door, including a good pub at the end of the track. The hot tub is also a bonus.

Great location - secluded from everything - surrounded by sheep - sat in the garden with our dogs watching the red kites flying by. Walked to the pub at the edge of the farm - 5 mins walk on concrete path. It's very handy being so close to the M40 - also Thame was quite nice as well - The Chippy and a few local pubs as well. Also drove the the Fox Read moreand Goat for a meal - good selection of beers. Private access and parking - defo a place to get away from it all. Hide

This cottage was clean, tidy and well located. Thame is a 3 minute drive away, with plenty of shopping. The roads around are prone to flooding, but that didn't impact the cottage. It was very easy to find, just up a lane from the local pub. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, both before we arrived via phone and once we were there.

Lovely cottage with marvelous views and a cozy pub at the end of the driveway. The hot tub was very relaxing and we had a great time (with our dog) in small towns like Thame and Long Crendon. We paid a visit to Oxford and the Virginia Gardens (next to Windsor) and are highly recommended.
