About this house rental
Pigeons Piece is a pretty detached Cotswold cottage with accommodation for up to 7 +1 over 2 floors. The house sits on the edge of the Cotswolds, a mile from Woodstock and Blenheim Palace and 9 miles from the City of Oxford and ten minutes by car to Soho Farmhouse and Estelle Manor. The house is light and characterful, with beautiful Cotswold stone, and has recently undergone extensive refurbishment.
Downstairs is a large, well equipped open plan kitchen and dining area that was recently featured in a national magazine. Off the kitchen is a utility room, cloakroom and downstairs loo. There is the luxury of 3 well appointed reception rooms, one with a beautiful gas fire and a snug/cinema room offering Netflix and Sky and a wood burning stove.
Upstairs are four bedrooms sleeping seven plus one. All beds have luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet covers. Fluffy white towels are provided.
Bedroom 1 has a king-size bed and an en suite shower room.
Bedroom 2 has a king-size bed.
Bedroom 3 is a twin bedroom with two single beds.
Bedroom 4 has a single bed with a low sloping ceiling - there is also an option to pull out a trundle if needed for an extra child.
There is a family bathroom with bath and overhead shower.
At the back of the house is a large patio leading accessed from the kitchen with a Weber Gas BBQ for the summer entertaining and a table tennis table. Leading off the terrace is a good sized back garden leading to a field - a perfect place for a picnic lunch.
At the front of the house is a walled south facing garden - perfect for afternoon tea in the sunshine. There is off-street parking for 2 cars (1 large car, 1 small). The property has a dedicated broadband service and wifi.
Pigeons Piece is in a picturesque conservation village and has a wonderful village shop offering newspapers, fresh bread, croissant and local produce. The award winning Killingworth Castle pub serves delicious food and wonderful locally brewed beer. There is a newly refurbished childrens playground in the village for our younger guests to explore.
There are lovely walks to be taken directly from the property including accessing the Oxfordshire Way/Akeman Roman Road, the village river meadows sanctuary and exploring neighbouring Blenheim Palace.
Woodstock is 1 mile away and has a bank, restaurants, pubs, take-aways and many interesting shops and is also home to Blenheim Palace and the lovely Blenheim Estate which frequently hosts a variety of shows and events.
Other places to visit locally include Oxford, Burford, the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Daylesford Organic Farm, Soho Farmhouse, Estelle Manor, Bicester Outlet Village and Diddly Squat Farm near Chipping Norton. Easily accessible for day visits include Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cirencester and Cheltenham and many lovely historic houses and gardens such as Chastleton House, Ditchley Park, Waddesdon Manor and Rousham Hall. Sir Winston Churchill's grave is in the nearby village of Bladon. Silverstone race track is 25 miles away for F1 enthusiasts.

It is a lovely property in a quiet location. The house was very clean and comfortable with a large kitchen area. We enjoyed our stay and the property owner was very easy to deal with and fast at responding to any questions. We would highly recommend!

We had the most wonderful long weekend at this stunning little cottage. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely perfect. The cottage is beautifully presented, full of charm, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is peaceful yet convenient for exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby villages. We especially loved the thoughtful touches that made it feel like a real home away from home.

Our family had an amazing time at this house and in the town. The property is wonderful with large front and back yards for the kids to play in and lots of fun plants and creatures to discover. The local playground was lots of fun and the town of Woodstock is very easily accessible. Would absolutely come back!

We had a wonderful 3-night stay in The Cotswolds. The house and grounds are lovely and located in a charming, walkable village, complete with a historic church and community-run shop that covered all our needs. Kirstie's house is gorgeous and comfortable for the five of us. Beds and bedding were so comfortable - like a fine hotel!
The kitchen was massive and very well-stocked. We hung out quite a bit in the kitchen for meals. There's also a beautiful patio area off the kitchen. The grounds lead to fields with a horse and sheep which was fun. Kirstie was a lovely host with many recommendations for the area. We are from the US, but my sister-in-law is from Ireland, so she drove. The house was such a great central location for seeing the Cotswolds in a couple days. Blenheim Palace is very close and offers a lovely afternoon tea in The Orangery. We also checked out Chipping Norton, Burford, Great Tew, Hidcote Manor, Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold, and Broadway with it's iconic tower which was amazing! Absolutely gorgeous scenery, charming pubs and a lovely, peaceful home to come back to in the evening. Highly recommended!
