    “Issues need resolving”

    This was a pleasant stay in a glorious farmland location. We used it as a base to visit 3 x National Trust properties at Stowe, Hughenden and Upton; and churches in the small villages in the surrounding area. There were 3 main negative issues: a smelly oil central heating system with fumes that pervaded the living room, and intermittent wi-fi, controlled from the adjoining rental cottage; and a very rough approach track. The first 2 issues were both reported on the Sunday of our week's stay, but ...

    This was a pleasant stay in a glorious farmland location. We used it as a base to visit 3 x National Trust properties at Stowe, Hughenden and Upton; and churches in the small villages in the surrounding area. There were 3 main negative issues: a smelly oil central heating system with fumes that pervaded the living room, and intermittent wi-fi, controlled from the adjoining rental cottage; and a very rough approach track. The first 2 issues were both reported on the Sunday of our week's stay, but alas went unresolved by the time we left on Friday. The upshot was that we had to leave the front door open in the afternoon and evening to avoid the fumes coming into the property; and had to go round to our neighbours to ask them to switch off, then reboot the modem and router. Anyone wanting to read in natural light would probably be best to rent to adjoining cottage as the lounge is quite dark. In short, the central heating system needs properly overhauling and testing; and the internet/wi-fi likewise. If possible each property should be self-reliant for internet rather than this cottage being dependent on its neighbour. As regards the driveway from the main road, given - it leads to farmland; however it is unpleasant and inconvenient to drive over, owing to the many deep potholes. It would not take too much effort to fill in these to create a smoother drive. With these issues rectified it would be a very pleasant holiday cottage.

The property

The Old Oak Tree Barn is an historic building with some outstanding views that make it a wonderful holiday cottage option.

Forming one half of the historic King John's Barn, once the rallying point for huntsmen coming from the nearby Wychwood Forest, "The Old Oak" is situated in a classic rural location near to the Cotswolds' villages of Shipton under Wychwood and Leafield - both within easy striking distance of Burford and Chipping Norton.

Inside, the property is absolutely spotless and clean it is furnished neatly and has a relaxing feel when you arrive.

Smaller than it's bigger brother The Gallery, it is just as appealing and comfortable.

On the ground floor is an open plan space with all of the main elements you would expect including a well kitted kitchen upstairs are two en-suite bedrooms - ideal for two couple if staying.

We've enjoyed promoting this barn for over 15 years and have had many, many happy customers.

We think you'll enjoy it too!This holiday cottage is likely to appeal to families looking to enjoy open space while having easy access to local amenities.

Green Tourism Business Scheme Silver Award Winner.

About the location

LEAFIELD

Witney 5 miles, Burford 6 miles, Stow on the Wold 13 miles, Oxford 19 miles

Leafield is centred round the ancient village Greens, common land now used as an area for children’s play and a site for fêtes. There was originally a pond on the north western part of the Greens, but it was filled in the late 1950s.

At the eastern end of the Greens is the village cross. Only the base remains of the original, the shaft having been destroyed by vandals around 1850. In 1873 the cross was restored to commemorate the inhabitants deliverance from smallpox.

Although the village was established by at least the 11th century, there are few medieval remains and these are limited to features in houses that were later extensively rebuilt. St Michael and All Angels’ church, built in 1859, is an outstanding example of the work of Sir George Gilbert Scott, though the previous chapels on the site date back to at least the fifteenth century. The picturesque school on the Greens was established in 1839 and has altered little over the past 100 years.

Nineteenth century Baptist and Primitive Methodist chapels have been converted into houses, as have three former inns, the smithy, the bakery, the butchers and other village shops of the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Nowadays, and after being closed for a number of years, the village needs are served by The Fox, a traditional country pub, with the emphasis being very much on proper pub grub rather than fine dining!

Note: There is a refundable good housekeeping bond of £50 required either in advance or payable by cheque on arrival. Sofa bed available for extra guest for £40 per person, per week. Cot & High Chair available.
