Set within a family-run campsite on the edge of Mollington village, this pretty barn conversion has beautiful country walks on the doorstep. Get a taste of local life with a stroll to the nearby pub – dating from the 16th century, some of its beams are incredibly low! – and take a look at the church, the earliest parts of which are at least 200 years older. Alternatively, drive 5 miles to Banbury where the iconic Banbury Cross, Oxford Canal and 18th-century Tooley’s Boatyard are must-see attractions. Further afield, Blenheim Palace (22 miles), Stratford-upon-Avon (23 miles), and Warwick Castle (19 miles) all offer a fascinating step back in time. For a more challenging leg-stretch, join the Cotswold Way which covers 102 miles between Chipping Campden (23 miles) and the World Heritage City of Bath. Catch a glimpse of ancient All Saints Church as you drive up to this attractive holiday home, which is one of an adjacent pair within the campsite grounds.
Park and unload your supplies straight into the kitchen/diner, where an exposed stone wall and contemporary country styling hint at the building’s heritage credentials. One step up, the lounge has dual-aspect windows and a choice of comfortable seating arranged before a Smart TV. Head in the other direction from the kitchen and step down into the bedroom, which has a dream-inducing king-size bed and, for ultimate convenience, an en-suite shower room complete with some exposed structural beams.
Make time to fully appreciate the rural setting by stepping into the garden area to the rear of the bungalow. With outdoor furniture and a low wall, it’s a peaceful spot for al fresco food and refreshments.
