The property

West Barn offers a very high quality 'home from home' in a truly idyllic location deep in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.

Situated outside the very beautiful village of Tackley (close to Woodstock and Blenheim Palace) the property sits in the grounds of the owner's house, in a clearing within some woods and enjoys an extremely tranquil setting with, literally, no more than birdsong to break the silence!

Inside the cottage is beautifully furnished and very spacious with all modern facilities to make your stay very comfortable.

The huge TV and surround sound system are certainly appealing....

With walks from your front door and a host of local attractions and places to visit, this is an exceptional holiday cottage for two people.

About the location

TACKLEY

Woodstock 3 miles; Bicester 11 miles; Oxford 14 miles.

Tackley is a picturesque village situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, approx 8 miles north of Oxford and 3 miles from Woodstock, home of Blenheim Palace. The name Tackley is derived from 'tack' which means sheep or ewe and 'ley' which means glade or clearing! The village is very pretty, has a good village shop and a local pub The Gardiner Arms. There is another pub just outside the village called Sturdy's Castle.

Nearby there are some superb attractions to visit. Rousham Hall is very close by and although there are restrictions to visiting etc, it is a beautiful stately home. Oxford,'The city of the Dreaming Spires' and colleges is just 15 mins by car. There are literally hours of things to do there! For the determined shopper, Bicester Village which is a vast outlet centre.

Woodstock has a good range of local pubs, along with restaurants, shops and stores while the famous Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Malborough is well worth a day trip.
