About this cottage rental
Arriving through fine iron gates to this home swathed in greenery is the perfect start to your Oxfordshire escape. From your first steps inside you can see the attention to detail at Otmoor House is exceptional. Bespoke interior design has made this house into a country retreat, with everything you could need waiting for you. From perfectly placed armchairs under soft lighting to cloud-like beds and the beautiful hand-crafted kitchen to quirky antique window framed mirrors. Spending time here is akin to a stay at a boutique hotel.
Otmoor House has a wonderfully harmonious layout. From the tranquil sitting room, the space gently moves through to the simply gorgeous kitchen and dining area, with French doors opening onto the terrace with its big sky views. Mingle amongst your group, making space for yourself or with others while you fill a plate with produce from the local farm shop, sip wine or play games in the garden with the children. As the evening draws in, the fire can be lit to keep chills at bay or get cosy in one of the exceptionally styled bedrooms where morning lie ins are hard to resist.
Staying here you are surrounded by stunning rurality with just Otmoor nature reserve and village views in the distance, beckoning you to start your days with a coffee on the terrace and a stroll through the reserve that deer, hares and birdlife all call home. Walk into Beckley to visit the super local pub, and don't miss out on Oxford, a city soon to be one of your most treasured destinations.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall
Inspiring your stay with images of Oxford and Otmoor Nature Reserve, the spacious entrance hall is a lovely introduction to your break away. Take off your shoes, coats, and leave your bags as you race off to explore this home-from-home.
Utility
This useful space is handy for cleaning up after a country walk and keeps the noise of laundry from disturbing your meals and conversations.
Kitchen/Diner
Beautifully combining a range of textures, colours and patterns, this open plan room feels Soho inspired. Fun artwork adds a certain charm, making this a wonderful room to spend time in. You will delight in cooking here before dining with country views framed by the French doors.
Sitting Room
Evenings spent in the sitting room are a relaxing affair. Light the fire to add a warming crackle as you chat over after-dinner coffees, watch a film or play a game of cards. There is space to set up a laptop or put your feet up and sink into a good book, letting time pass you by.
Shower Room
With a dash of colour from bold tiling and spacious rainfall shower, you can get ready for an evening stroll to the village pub for a great meal.
First Floor
Bedroom One
This is a true hideaway, inspired by the views across the nature reserve. With wallpaper featuring waterbirds, plant life and the natural tones of reed beds, this room envelopes you in comfort. The super king-size bed is oh so inviting and will make weekend lie-ins top of your to do list.
En-Suite
Tucked away, the en-suite provides extra space and privacy for guests for the master bedroom.
Bedroom Two
Using the same tones as found throughout this house, this king-size bedroom is a sanctuary of calming natural hues. Soft lighting, a view through the trees and hints to the history of this house in the exposed beams will make this room a firm favourite.
Bathroom
A room you'll want to linger in, sinking into the bubble filled rolltop bath, enjoying the views and bathing in the natural light.
Bedroom Three
Retreat to bedroom three where delicate blues contrast the wooden beams. This bedroom has a super king-size bed. Artwork by Charlie Mackesy adorns the walls, so you start your day with a smile.
Outside
The garden is equally as charming as the house. Planted with trees so you have the perfect shaded picnic spots there is a large lawn to stretch your legs and have a kick about with the children. On the terrace the table and chairs are set so you can make the most of your surroundings, gazing across the view between courses.

The house is really beautiful, the grounds also are lovely, lots of space. It is pretty far from the village, a solid 15 minute walk. And the village is tiny. But if you are looking for somewhere off the beaten track then this is it.

One of the nicest properties we’ve rented. Location is very quiet, great walking paths, great communications with hosts. Great WiFi. Everything was above board. Highly recommended.

For larger families, this place is ideal. You are out in lovely company, able to see the sheep in the fields as you awaken each day (but no smells!). The cottage is beautifully appointed with a great big kitchen for entertaining. You really feel like its yours very quickly, and you do not want to leave! Only caution is that it is a bit tricky to get to if you are not used to very narrow roads.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at this property! The grounds are beautiful and peaceful near the Otmoor Reserve in late May--think wildflowers, bird watching, green wetlands, cattle, deer, muntjac, pheasant, and hares. Pastoral countryside at its best. The farmhouse was just as lovely. Every room was so well appointed and comfortable, and suited our family of 5 perfectly.
John and Jo are inviting and communicative hosts, even providing us with some special treats to eat and drink upon arrival. My husband is still talking about how much he enjoyed staying here. We would go back in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommended!!
