Owls Barn - pet friendly, Oxfordshire
Get away from it all at Owls Barn, an immersive countryside retreat that you won't want to leave. Hearing owls and seeing deer in the surrounding fields, exploring the walking routes, dining at the fabulous local pubs, and resting before the nature reserve views it is hard to drag yourself away from such a perfect holiday home.
Showcasing open plan living spaces, wooden beams and glorious outside space Owls Barn has been carefully considered. Eye-catching details from artwork to exposed stone add character and make you feel more at home. The large living space will be the hub of your stay where you can all relax, dine and cook together. Flooded with light you can step straight out into the garden, expanding the space on sunny days. Five bedrooms, designed with your ultimate comfort in mind, are spread across the ground and first floor. Three double rooms and two twins are sure to suit your group, and there are four bathrooms. With a luxurious freestanding bath in the room and beautiful views over the nature reserve, the master bedroom is a special room for the guests of honour.
Outside the details continue. A dining terrace with a BBQ is made for summer feasts and the bath house is a hidden retreat. Fill the copper tub with bubbles and drift away in this moment all for yourself. An enchanting garden gives you the perfect space for letting the dog out, and there are endless walks that can be followed through the nature reserve and beyond.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall and Cloakroom Stepping into Owls Barn there is plenty of space for taking off coats and shoes. You can walk straight through into the garden. Just off the hallway is a cloakroom with basin and WC and a laundry cupboard with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Open Plan Kitchen/Sitting/Dining Room The spectacular open plan living area is light and bright, overlooking the surrounding water meadows. French doors open at each side letting you step straight out into the garden. The kitchen has a range cooker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a coffee machine, everything you could need. A splash of pink highlights the breakfast bar which seats three. At the centre of the room is a dining area. A long wooden table seats 10 and there are a couple of armchairs creating the perfect spot for your morning hot drink. The sitting area hugs around the woodburning stove, a wonderfully cosy place to put your feet up and relax, watching TV or chatting with your friends and family. The stove is surrounded by a stone fireplace and there are wooden beams above you.
Bedroom Five A ground floor bedroom with a super king-size bed is handy for any guests who aren't as confident with the stairs. Pops of bright colour and artwork fill this room with personality.
En-Suite The en-suite has a shower, WC and basin.
First Floor
Bedroom One Relax in the beautiful master bedroom, a tranquil setting with exposed wooden beams and a freestanding bath. Take a moment to yourself to draw a bubble bath and read, curl up in the armchair and in the mornings enjoy a lie in in the super king-size bed.
En-Suite With a bath in the bedroom, the en-suite has a WC and basin.
Bedroom Two Bedroom two has a super king-size bed so you have space to spread out. Wake to countryside views and end your day with a wonderfully uninterrupted sleep.

Outside
The gardens at Owls Barn are spectacular, walk over the bridge to reach the meadow with a picnic bench hidden away in the willow trees at the bottom and toast marshmallows at the firepit. Just outside is a private dining terrace with a table and chairs and a charcoal barbecue. Retreat to the bath house for a long, lingering soak in the copper tub with a glass of champagne and peace and quiet. Follow the footpaths into the nature reserve and you'll discover bird hides, picnic benches and big swings.

A wonderful property in an excellent location
Located close to the Thames Path it is very easy to walk straight from the door. Owls Barn has some lovely outdoor seating from which we saw Deer, many birds and even heard a cuckoo.
The property itself was clean, comfortable and spacious.

Beautiful house in stunning location
We loved our weekend stay at Owl’s Barn. The house was immaculate and the beds and furniture were spotless and so comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and we really appreciated the welcome basket and all the toiletries in the bathrooms. The gardens/grounds were beautiful and right in the middle of a nature reserve so it was super tranquil and full of wildlife. The outside bath was the cherry on top!
