This charming lodge, constructed entirely from wood and featuring unique handcrafted elements, is ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a countryside retreat.

Stairs lead to the first floor, where guests will find a double bedroom featuring a king-size bed and a private balcony that offers stunning views of the Oxfordshire countryside, complete with outdoor seating. The third bedroom, designed with children in mind, contains two single beds but has limited headroom due to its layout, making it a cozy nook for younger guests. Another family bathroom on this level includes a walk-in shower for convenience.
