  • A romantic couples’ retreat close to Banbury and the Oxfordshire-Warwickshire border

  • Enjoy historic-site visits to Blenheim Palace, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle
Property code: OC-CC072

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.

As stated in other reviews it is small but it's very comfy and clean. Nice big towels. Good heating system but cool in hot weather. Owners are lovely and welcoming and food vans were great especially the thin van. Good location for touring.

Lovely cottage although very small. No noise from the farm. Quiet area, with lots of places to visit a car ride away. Local pub basic but nice beer! Sadly doesn't do food.

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Everything we needed was provided. Ideal location for touring the Cotswolds. Would highly recommend Bourton on the Water. Plenty of places to eat. The Falcon in Warmington and The Brasenose Arms which is only a mile away, both excellent value.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, just the right size for two, well equipped kitchen, a tea pot (love tea from a teapot), perfect, comfortable bed and good size bathroom. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely touch when we arrived and the owners were helpful and friendly. We explored the walk through the farm to the village, past the Read moreowners ponies and chickens, through the churchyard, idyllic. The farm/camping site/cottages are very well kept and a pleasure to visit. Hide
