Kingfisher, 2 The Old Stables
Description
Inside, the cottages have retained much of its original character, with exposed beams complementing the contemporary furnishings and mod cons, offering a great base for a self-catered holiday. Both properties enjoy open-plan living rooms, offering great social spaces for everyone to come together to celebrate a wonderful holiday at Tawneys Farm. The sleek kitchens are certain to entice a spot of home-cooking, containing an electric oven and hob, a microwave and plenty of preparation space. Both properties have a downstairs wet room, a washing machine & a Smart TV. Kingfisher has a patio which catches the morning sun perfect for breakfast whilst watching the wildlife on the pond. The first floor of Kingfisher contains two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath with shower above. Evenings can be spent relaxing, with supper on the gas BBQ & a glass of something chilled, to watch the swallows swooping over the natural pond, sheep and horses as your backdrop & you hope for a glimpse of the barn owl flying over at dusk.
Plenty of walking, running and cycling opportunities are available including The Thames Path that passes within 200yds of the property and leads you to Pinkhill Lock where you can watch the boats pass through the lock. For those keen on fishing, Linear Fisheries are 2 miles away which are home to the best carp water in the UK also with a beginners lake for children. If you can tear yourself away from this superb retreat visit the quaint Cotswold town of Burford situated on the River Windrush. Riding can be booked at Huntersfield Equestrian which is a 20min drive away. Bicester Village is only a 30min drive away. Whilst staying here, be sure to visit The Harcourt Arms in Stanton Harcourt, where you will find a superb restaurant. Also the Red Lion pub in Northmoor is a community pub, providing excellent meals using locally sourced produce. Immerse yourself in your surroundings further, by walking the Thames Path, or visit Newbridge on the Thames where you can hire paddle boats. For a taste of history and culture, visit Blenheim Palace, head to Oxford the city of dreaming spires. Those visiting with younger guests can spend the day at Millets Farm, where you can pick your own fruit & buy locally produced food while the children visit the farm animals or spend fun-filled hours at the play farm or soft play barn for the very young, as well as enjoy an amazing food shop. Take a visit to Witney which is a small town providing everything you need. Places to visit include the Cotswold Wildlife Park home to many rare and endangered species, a day trip to Adams Farm or visit Diddly Squatt Farm.

What guests are saying
Very friendly owners.
Lovely peaceful spot but still close to the Park and Ride for Oxford. Very good facilities with a shower up and downstairs. Great to have a small garden for our dog to roam around. We will be back. Thank you.
We loved everything about this cottage, the owners we’re lovely and we will definitely come back some time!
We spent a wonderful week at The Old Stables, helped by glorious weather and our wonderful hosts Rachel and Dave.
The accommodation is beautifully presented, well equipped, and located right in the midst of the working farm. Even with all the comings and goings of the farm we found our stay very quiet and relaxing, and loved seeing all the animals and wildlife associated with the Oxfordshire countryside. The Old Stables is a great base from which to explore the surrounding area with some lovely pubs a short drive away and many Cotswolds attractions within an easy ½ hour drive.
