About this property

Luxury countryside getaway in 2 bed barn conversion with walks

Once a cow shed the barn has been converted into a stunning rural retreat retaining the original beams with the addition of slate floors, “wow” bathrooms, a state of the art log burner and antiques in abundance.

In this frantic world in which we live The Long House is able to offer our guests an oasis of calm and relaxation. Spacious enough for two couples but cosy enough for just two and if you have romance on your mind then there can be few places better than here in which to relax, unwind, play your favourite music, wine and dine your loved one and for those more adventurous there is even a copper bath big enough for two!

We had a fabulous stay. Communication from start to finish brilliant and Lesley met us to run through everything we needed to know. delicious welcome goodies including home made sponge - most appreciated. Wonderful, characterful and well equipped accommodation filled with extra touches to make our stay extra special. Fantastic areas for our dog to roam completely securely and great walks directly from the barn. We would definitely book again - thank you for a great stay.

Rather belated thank you for a wonderful stay!! The barn was very spacious, beautifully furnished and had an eclectic mix of artefacts that fascinated us. The 3 of us really enjoyed our stay and the weather was gorgeous. Bella had a great time at Williams and we visited Oxford, Abingdon, Waddesdon Manor (well worth a visit) and Marlborough so we packed plenty in! Thanks also for gorgeous cake!!

I can't fault Lesley's place at all. Instructions to find the cottage were clear, even in the autumnal darkness, and Lesley was there to greet us with a roaring log fire, a delicious cake, and a walkthrough of the property. The space is full of interesting decor and I wish I'd stayed longer to enjoy all the different spaces. The beds were comfortable, and everything was very well appointed. We had an issue with the heating going off and Lesley was around in a jiffy, even on a Sunday evening! Problem fixed, and she checked in with us again the next day to make sure everything was fine. Honestly, this is a fantastic base for exploring this area of Oxfordshire and I look forward to staying here again!

What a lovely little cottage - perfect for us and our two little dogs. Lesley was there to welcome us and explain the ins and outs of The Long House - so much to take in, there are gorgeous touches wherever you look. The 5 days we were there were really not enough to take it all in. But, it was cosy, comfortable and a perfect place to celebrate just spending time together. We loved the woodburner, the quirkiness, the comfort and the quiet. Even on a particularly rainy day we hunkered down and enjoyed cooking a meal, playing games, CD's of the music that we grew up with, bathing 'a deux' in the copper tub and chatting over a bottle of wine in the glow of the fire. The weather didn't allow us to enjoy the outside space but I imagine warm summer evenings would be just as inviting in the courtyard or the garden. We'll certainly be bookmarking this for a return visit in the lighter months. All in all, a fantastic cottage, Lesley really has made this a little gem and her gorgeous homemade cake kept my cake-toothed husband happy.

The biggest compliment I can pay is that it didn’t even feel like we were staying in a rented property, Lesley and Roger have made the long house feel like a home away from home with almost anything you would need if you were at your own home. A wonderful relaxing area and a brilliant outdoor space. I can’t fault it.
