About this property

Eynsham 1.9 miles. The Old Stable is a beautiful two-bedroom barn conversion nestled on a working farm in Barnard Gate, near Eynsham in Oxfordshire. Enjoying breath-taking countryside views and easy access to the stunning surroundings of the Cotswolds AONB, The Old Stable is a superb dwelling for couples or a family of four. Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you will find a fully-equipped kitchen for rustling up tasty dishes, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four over a celebratory bottle of fizz, along with a sitting area with plush sofas and a flat screen TV, perfect for evenings spent unwinding with loved ones. After a day of exploring, head to the well-appointed shower room where you can freshen up, before choosing from two beautifully decorated bedrooms to catch your rest, a king-size and a twin, both of which have plenty of storage. Make your way into the village of Eynsham, where you enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Eynsham Abbey Fishponds Walk, dine at the welcoming eateries of The Evenlode, Wholesome Earth Café & Bistro and The Bayleaf, or scenic walks along the River Thames. Ample walking and cycling opportunities await in the Cotswolds AONB, where you can hike along the renowned Cotswolds Way Trail which spans for 102-miles, visit the attractions of Combe Mill, the esteemed Blenheim Palace, and the North Leigh Roman Villa, or venture further over to Chipping Norton, where you can purchase fresh produce from the famous Diddly Squat Farm Shop, as seen on Clarkson’s Farm. For a fun-filled day out, why not head over to Carterton, home to the popular Crocodiles of the World zoo? For a taste of city life, head to Oxford, where you can tour the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford Castle and Prison, Oxford Botanic Garden and test out your swing at the North Oxford Golf Club. Adventure awaits at The Old Stable. Note: This property can be booked with Refs: 1114678 and 1114676, together sleeping up to 14 guests.

Located on the north bank of the Thames, about five miles from Oxford and on the outskirts of the Cotswolds, lies the thriving village of Eynsham. The city's history may be traced back to the Bronze Age. The town contains a general grocery, a few dive pubs, and a family butcher, so it's got all the basics covered. Canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, golfing, and fishing are just some of the outdoor pursuits that may be accessed from the hamlet. Oxford is the oldest university city in England and is known as "The City of Dreaming Spires" due to the many spires that make up the city. The city is home to 38 colleges affiliated with the university as well as the Bodleian Library, Botanic Gardens, museums, and a number of festivals and markets throughout the year. In any given area of the city, you could recognise a location from a recent film or TV show if you keep your eyes alert. Explore the city's many historic sites, shops, and pubs on foot, or take a boat trip down the Thames or the Cherwell. Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, is a short drive away; the palace and its surrounding gardens were created by the renowned landscape architect Capability Brown, and the nearby town of Woodstock is a quaint and charming World Heritage Site. Close by is the charming town of Henley on Thames, site of the annual Royal Regatta. Family-friendly day trips may be had in any of the three towns of Warwickshire: Stratford upon Avon, home to Shakespeare's birthplace; Warwick, with its magnificent castle; and Royal Leamington Spa. Incredibly enjoyable in any time of year as a vacation destination.
