About this property
Witney Hideaway — Oxford & Cotswolds Gateway, Central Witney, Parking
Welcome to your home away from home — a beautifully restored ground floor flat just 5 minutes' walk from Witney town centre, and a perfect gateway to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the city of Oxford.
This property was built by my great grandfather and is now lovingly managed by the 4th generation of our family. Witney Hideaway has been professionally decorated to a high standard, combining the charm of original antiques and period features with every modern convenience.
The Space Guests have their own private entrance through the blue door, with a secure lockbox for seamless self check-in.
The former dining room — complete with its original decorative fireplace — is now a warm and elegant bedroom with an antique double bed, antique mirrors, wardrobe, dresser, luggage racks, bedside lights and USB ports on both sides.
The modern kitchen is fitted with quartz countertops, a double farmhouse sink, designer tap, hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A selection of basic dry ingredients and spices is provided for guests to use. There is also a washing machine, dryer, iron, ironing board and outdoor washing line for longer stays.
The living and dining area features a wall-mounted smart TV, two antique desks ideal for working, a sofa which converts into a double bed, a dining table and plenty of storage. Near the entrance you'll find a coat hook and a large ottoman — perfect for shoes, umbrellas and bags.
The bathroom has a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, waterfall tap and is fully stocked with towels, hair dryer, hand soap, toilet paper and basic personal items. Throughout the flat you'll find high-speed WiFi, USB ports, an HDMI and ethernet cable, a first aid kit, sewing kit, family games, books and a selection of practical extras including an insulated picnic bag.
Shared back garden Step outside to your own private patio in the back garden — complete with table, chairs and a sun umbrella — a lovely spot to relax or enjoy a meal in the sunshine. The back garden is shared with the tenant in the main house so please be respectful of shared spaces.
Guest Access The entire Witney Hideaway is yours during your stay. The flat is attached to the main house, so we kindly ask guests to observe quiet hours between 10pm and 8am.
The Leys park is just a short walk away — a great open space for children to run around and play.
If you are bringing infants, please let us know ahead of arrival if you need a travel cot or high chair — we are happy to arrange these.

Very clean flat, with lovely kitchen and bathroom, comfortable double bed and a little garden shared with the next door neighbour. Centrally placed for exploring the area. Amy was always available and helpful.
We had such a lovely stay at the Witney Hideaway. It was perfect for my toddler and Amy was fantastic at making sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend and hope we can come to stay again one day. Thank you!
Amit was a guest who was very curious and asked questions about discounts, refunds, early check-in, kayaking, gyms, heating, and other activities in our area. Amit left the Witney Hideaway neat and tidy. Friendly reminder to future hosts to keep all conversation within the VRBO messaging system for documentation purposes.

My husband Franklyn and I have two beautiful daughters and a long-haired dachshund named Indigo. I'm the fourth generation of our family caring for this property, and we are thrilled to offer the Witney Hideaway to guests who will love it as much as we do.
