Rose Barn is an gorgeous barn conversion sitting in the tranquil surroundings of a former farm in the Oxfordshire countryside. The property has recently undergone complete and careful renovation and today provides a spacious, welcoming holiday home for families and small groups alike. The enclosed courtyard garden to the front of the property makes it particularly safe for children. The glass front to the property matches the contemporary interior and fills it with sunlight. It is set within Chimney Meadows, the largest nature reserve of the BBOWT (Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust). The site totals 250 hectares of wildlife rich land along the banks of the River Thames. The reserve is of national importance for its species-rich wetland meadows that support large numbers of now scarce ground-nesting birds, and provides a haven for curlew, snipe and reed bunting. Oxford, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds and London approx 1.5 hours away. Children and well behaved dogs welcome.

Guest comments
"We all thought that the barn was superb! Very well designed, well kitted out and perfect for a New Year getaway. The Barn was clean on arrival and we were impressed with the champagne and chocs waiting for us. The whole barn had pretty much everything we needed...We liked the place so much we also wanted to ask about availability for next year?" New Year Gathering

We thought it was a perfect holiday home for anybody who required a a central UK base from which one can explore the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Glos plus a place where you can host family re-unions, parties and even corporate get together. Great walks and a perfect place for friends to spend time together. We hope that you too enjoy the house and the tranquility of the surrounding area.
