About this property

Pineapple Apartment is on the first and second floors of a unique 16th century terraced house in the centre of Watlington. There is even a view of Watlington Hill from the top.

We are 10 minutes walk from the Icknield Way and the National Trust's Watlington Hill.

Henley on Thames, Oxford, Thame and Wallingford are all about 15-20 minutes drive away.

The property is cosy, (Bijou to our French friends, Gemütlich to our German cousins), and suitable for everyone fit enough to manage a few stairs.

The apartment in accessed from 40 Couching Street (B4009) and is clearly marked. Look for the pineapple on the door.

Warm welcome and lovely apartment

Martin was a fantastic host who gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful and considerate throughout our stay. The apartment is well set up, comfortable and has a lot of character. We would both definitely stay again and highly recommend the local food! Lots of nice restaurants, pubs and bakeries and obviously some lovely scenery too.

A charming, quirky, well appointed 2 bedroom period flat in the centre of England's smallest town.

A great location within easy walking distance to several pubs and good restaurants in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Perfect to savor English village life and as a base to explore the Chilterns by bicycle or on foot.

Wonderful quirky apartment in lovely village

A perfect stay from start to finish! Located right in the middle of Watlington, 2 minutes' walk from pubs, restaurants and shops but still super quiet, Martin's apartment was perfect for our relaxing weekend away. The bed was so comfortable (we slept almost 12 hours the first night), and is a lovely place to unwind and relax. It's an old house so the floors are uneven, the doors are low, and the stairs are steep - but that all adds to the charm of the place. We absolutely loved it and will be back for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Martin

We have lived in Watlington since 1981 so our roots are firmly in the ground here and here we will stay. We are lucky to live in this beautiful corner of England with quick access to both Oxford and London.
Pineapple Apartment is located above our interiors business and we live in the house behind both.

What makes this property unique

Pineapple Apartment is in a c16th house in the centre of Watlington. We are ten minutes walk from the Icknield Way (one of Europe's ancient 'roads') which runs from Avebury to Ivinghoe Beacon.
Oxford is 20 minutes drive away and London is an hour's bus ride (Oxford Tube runs 24/7 every 10-20 minutes) from J6 of the M40.
We are 40 minutes drive from Heathrow and not much more from the other London airports.
