You’ll find this barn conversion sitting snugly in the Chiltern Hills and next to a working farm. There’s something decidedly bucolic about having a cup of tea on the patio and listening to the cows bellow while nearby horses quietly graze. Inside, the abode is stylish and modern, yet homely. The living area makes good use of the space available, with a comfy sofa for resting weary amblers’ limbs, a well-appointed kitchen to make mealtimes a breeze and a dining table for feasts that last well into the evenings. Here, you’re in easy reach of some of the best walking trails in the country and a fifteen-minute drive from Henley-on-Thames. The riverside town is host to quaint tea rooms, a market held every Thursday and an art gallery in a converted fire station. And at the end of a long day, return to the squashy king-size beds and nod off as soon as your head touches the pillow.

About Henley-on-Thames

Cruises by steamer, or a day pottering about in a row or sail boat are the best ways to experience a slice of river life, and the Henley Royal Regatta takes over in August. If staying landside is more your thing there are plenty of tea rooms serving...
