Banbury Hill Farmhouse
Beautifully decorated in a classic style, this seven-bed Cotswold stone farmhouse is the perfect location for celebrating special occasions or gathering friends to make memories. The farmhouse sits nestled at the heart of what was once a working farm, now fully diversified and dedicated to tourism.
The muted interior has sparks of colour giving each room its own personality. A well-equipped modern farmhouse kitchen has everything you could need to serve meals in the stunning dining room and the living room has a cosy woodburner. You will find eye-catching artwork throughout which is in keeping with your surroundings, showing landscapes and farmers’ markets. Outside is a spacious lawn and patio with large picnic benches and a fire pit.
Overview
A short distance outside Charlbury, Banbury Hill Farmhouse is set among similar farm buildings alongside the lovely Cotswold View Caravan & Camping Park. With its own gravelled drive and parking area, the cottage sits at one side of the lawned garden and patio. A number of walking routes lead from the cottage and it is an easy distance from Chipping Norton and other charming villages.
The farmhouse has been beautifully decorated throughout with all the features you would expect in a relaxing home from home. A well-equipped kitchen provides space for children to eat in the adjoining breakfast bar area and the stunning dining room with open stonework is a wonderful space for the whole group to spend time together. A sitting room with a woodburner and sink-in sofas give room to relax and put your feet up at the end of the day. The central foyer and grand staircase take you to the first and second floors with seven bedrooms, many with unique en-suites. There will be no fighting over the best room as each is equally stylish.
Patio doors open from the dining room to the paved patio looking out over the Cotswold hills and rolling farmland. The garden has a lawned area and is fenced with gated access allowing the children to play safely. You can dine outside on fine evenings and light the firepit to keep the cold at bay. Beyond the garden, well-signed trails take you around the surrounding farmland where you can find sheep and donkeys.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall:
Entering the farmhouse, you are first met by an American style fridge-freezer, a Belfast sink and a dishwasher in the entrance hall. A hamper filled with your breakfast favourites will be waiting for you outside the back door every day you wake up, carefully chosen from local suppliers like Bampton Butchers, Mayfield Eggs, and Marks Bakery.
Kitchen:
The kitchen has been beautifully decorated in fresh white and grey and is fitted with all the modern conveniences you would expect. After your long journey, you will be welcomed by a homemade cake that will be waiting for you on the kitchen island. The electric AGA is ideal for cooking up delicious meals for the entire family and the central island ensures there is enough counter space for preparing vegetables. A second dishwasher and fridge/freezer means nobody will be stuck doing the washing up and reduces the need for trips to the supermarket, giving you more time to spend together. The kitchen leads into a breakfast bar area which seats four, great for the children in the morning. You will also find a TV, wine fridge, and a host of games stored here.
Utility Room/Boot Room:
From the kitchen, you can step through into the handy boot room which provides the perfect space for storing walking boots, jackets and backpacks. Here you will also find the utility room which is equipped with a washing machine, dryer and sink.
Foyer:
The kitchen then leads you into the foyer at the centre of the house. A grand staircase takes you up to the floors above and the modern cast iron chandelier will catch your eye. A large mirror, dresser and armchair make this a nice area to sit and wait for the rest of the family to be ready for the day’s adventure. From the foyer there is a WC and a door which opens to the patio, lawn and beyond.
Dining Room:
This stunning dining room creates a beautiful backdrop to family celebrations. Seating 14 you can gather around the large wooden table and serve delicious homecooked meals, enjoy a glass of champagne and spend the evening reminiscing and telling stories. The blue walls are lined with historic photos of the farm while parts of the stonework has been left open as a nod to this building’s past. In the corner is what was once Charlbury Quarry reception desk, now restored and acting as a bar area to serve cocktails from. Patio doors open to the garden where you can enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside and hills.
Living Room:
The comfortable and quiet living room is a cosy spot to gather in front of the woodburner with a book or enjoy a film on the large wall mounted TV. Softly lit by ceiling and table lights you can unwind on the velvet sofas which seat 7 or perch on the window seat enjoying the view of the duck pond, livestock, and hills beyond.
First Floor
Up the central staircase you reach the first floor landing with large paintings overlooking the foyer below.
Bedroom One:
This first king-size double to the right of the stairs has been decorated in white and overlooks the duck pond and garden. Plump bedding and sumptuous blankets ensure a good night’s sleep and you can relax on the chaise longue with a morning cup of coffee. A bedside table with lamps on each side of the bed, chest of drawers, and an open hanging rail provide storage.
En-Suite:
The spacious en-suite has bohemian style tiles and stylish twin bowl sinks. A walk-in shower with rainfall head, WC, heated towel rail and large lit mirrors complete this en-suite.
Bathroom:
This family bathroom features a bath with rainfall shower above, WC, heated towel rail and sink unit. It has the only bath on this floor and is ideal for guests staying in the twin bedroom.
Bedroom Two:
Making a clever use of the space, this compact king-size double room has a sliding door hiding either the storage cupboard or the en-suite. This room looks out to other farm buildings and the old stables. There is a bedside table with lamps to each side of the bed and a mirror.
En-Suite:
Behind the sliding door is an en-suite shower room with walk in shower with rainfall head, WC, small sink and heated towel rail.
Bedroom Three:
A great room for younger members of the family, this twin room has a chest of drawers with lamp between the beds, a full-length mirror and a footstool.
Bedroom Four:
The final room on this floor is a lovely king-size double with built-in hanging rails and dressing table with chair. Looking out to the fields and hills beyond it is a relaxing room where you can get away from it all. Two bedside tables with lamps and a chest of drawers offer lots of storage options.
En-Suite:
This bedroom benefits from an en-suite with a large walk-in shower decorated with eye-catching patterned blue tiles. A WC, sink, heated towel rail and quirky round window finish this room.
Second Floor
A door hides a bookshelf and selection of books below the staircase which takes you up to the second floor.
Bedroom Five:
Set under the eaves, this twin room has two single beds with feature headboards and a single bedside table and lamp between them. An open hanging rail and chest of drawers provide storage and there is a full-length mirror. A skylight window allows in light but it cannot be opened fully to ensure this room is safe for all guests.
Bedroom Six:
At the back of the house this king-size double room is a retreat from the buzz and noise of family gatherings. With a statement headboard and matching soft furnishings this is a comfortable room to relax in. An armchair gives a place to enjoy a book and there is a hanging rail and chest of drawers. Two bedside tables with lamps, a mirror and the skylight window bring light in.
Shower Room and WC:
As none of the second-floor bedrooms come with an en-suite, there is a useful shower room and separate WC. Decorated with colourful tiles the shower room has a step-in cubicle with rainfall head, WC and a sink unit. Next door is an equally well-decorated WC and sink.
Bedroom Seven:
The final king-size double room has an extra splash of colour with a feature khaki green wall. This delightful room has an armchair, hanging rail and chest of drawers to store your belongings. There is also a full-length mirror to check your outfit before heading down for dinner.
Outside
The garden is a wonderful space with a large lawn for the children to play, two picnic benches for enjoying outdoor meals and a fire pit to roast marshmallows in the evenings. Why not visit the neighbouring café, The Old Shed, and treat yourself to a cake and hot drink to enjoy in your own space. A gravelled area creates a driveway to the rear of the cottage where there is parking space for 5 cars.

The Location
Banbury Hill Farm lies in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds in an area of outstanding natural beauty over-looking the Evenlode Valley and Wychwood Forest. Set in 54 acres of rolling, wooded farmland The Farmhouse offers the peace & tranquillity of the countryside in which to relax and enjoy your holiday or weekend break. The Farmhouse is ideally positioned for exploring Charlbury and the surrounding Cotswolds.
Charlbury is a small but lively and vibrant market town that has escaped the hordes of Cotswold tourists, making it a justifiable member of the ‘Undiscovered Cotswold Club’, yet it is only an hour from London by train and just 15 minutes’ drive from Soho Farmhouse. The town is full of historic 17th- and 18th-century buildings, has great pubs, independent shops, a local history museum, and is in a beautiful setting on the meandering River Evenlode with fabulous walking and cycling.

Belinda
Went to Banbury Hill Farmhouse with 2 dogs & 11 members of my family varying in age from 22yrs upwards to celebrate my 70th Birthday & it couldn't have been better. The accommodation was excellent with a beautiful bedroom for everyone & a fantastic dining room, lounge & kitchen. The quality of all the kitchen equipment & furnishing provided real luxury. Everything had been given considerable thought & no matter what we wanted from extra tea towels to a cocktail shaker was provided. The breakfast delivery was superlative & every service person we encountered were wonderful. Beautiful surroundings with plenty to do. Absolutely perfect.

Wonder stay and our favourite place yet
Had the most wonderful stay with my family. Everyone loved it and a continued phrase of 'this is the best place we've ever stayed'. It was extra special from the surprise of arriving and finding so much already provided for us and the treat of fresh pain choc, croissants and baguettes each morning (still warm!!) It was the perfect place for all ages (5 weeks-71), whether we wanted to stay in, go for walks, tennis, disc golf or have a coffee next door. We're hoping to come back for another family gathering in a couple years time.

Perfect House for a Special Family Celebration
We stayed here to celebrate an 80th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect for our family gathering of 14 people and 2 dogs. The house is spacious, beautifully presented, and equipped with everything you could need. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were modern, clean, and very comfortable.
The location is ideal – peaceful with lovely woodland walks nearby, and The Old Shed café was a great spot for a coffee. We especially appreciated the delicious cake and generous welcome pack, which far exceeded our expectations. The daily delivery of fresh pastries and breads was a real treat!
We also enjoyed a scenic walk into Charlbury, where we visited the farmers market and some great local pubs. It was a truly memorable stay, and we’d highly recommend this house for any special occasion or family get-together.

Lorraine McNeil
Amazing property. Clean, stylish with everything you could need and more! Opening the curtain to see the sheep and Shetland ponies was lovely. There were lots touches that really made you feel they had gone above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay - the welcome note, pastry deliveries, home baked cake on arrival and the welcome hamper was exceptional -more than expected and well thought out to get you off to a great start. We enjoyed the woodland walks and had great fun with the disc golf.

The house is stunning, beautifully maintained, spacious, and full of character, with plenty of room
We had another wonderful stay at Banbury Hill Farmhouse our group was made up of 9 adults and 3 children. The house is stunning, beautifully maintained, spacious, and full of character, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy.
One of the standout touches was the incredible welcome food pack waiting for us on arrival. It was so thoughtfully put together and included everything we needed to get settled in comfortably, plus a few delicious local treats we weren’t expecting! The homemade cake was absolutely delicious and such a kind gesture that made us feel instantly at home.
The setting was peaceful and picturesque, with plenty of space for the children to play and for the adults to unwind. Every detail had been considered to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
We can't recommend Banbury Hill Farmhouse enough, it is the perfect spot for a family getaway, and we’re already talking about when we can return!

An excellent stay!
We were staying as 4 families of 14 and had a wonderful 3 night stay here. The property is spacious and exceptionally well equipped with everything you could need. The daily breakfast hamper was very well received! The children loved the garden and all the toys/games. We enjoyed some beautiful walks nearby. The scenic walk to Charlbury is great and we visited the recommended great pubs and restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend this property.

Family Gathering.
We had an amazing time at Banbury Hill Farmhouse. 5 Adults, 2 dogs and 4 children aged 3, 4, 5 and 6. It ticked all our boxes. The Farmhouse is beautiful and has everything you could possibly want, all very high spec. We really enjoyed the woodland walks and used the tennis court, play area, football pitch and zip wire. The children loved seeing the animals. The welcome hamper and daily delivery of bread and pastries was brilliant. It was the prefect venue for our family get together and will return.
Julia Driver
Lovely enjoyable stay
We had a lovely time in a great quality house. Perfect for a group of friends with our families. The fresh food left for us was very kind and it was a great treat to have the basket of pastries each morning. Thanks!
Rosie Hanley
The best big house we’ve ever stayed in
As a geographically dispersed family of 14 we don’t get to meet up very often, so staying at the farmhouse was a special event. We comprise grandparents, parents and five children, the youngest five months old.
And we loved it. Great location, wonderful house, plenty of space. We’ve stayed in many houses, UK and Europe, and this was votest the best. We felt the owners went above our expectations with the breakfasts and treats they provided. And those of us who cooked had everything we needed to prepare our main meals. (You sometimes find you need a sharp knife, cheese grater or thge like). The fittings and furnishings are all top quality.
It’s a bonus having a cafe onsite. The environment is beautiful and walks within easy access.
Thanks to the owners for ensuring we had the right ingredients for a great family experience.
Catherine Brady
We had an amazing weekend at this gorgeous, well equipped and welcoming farmhouse.
We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous, well equipped, and welcoming farmhouse, we were a party of nine adults and three children and there was ample room for everyone, each room was a pleasure to be in and the children loved visiting the animals on the farm.
The hospitality was excellent with lovely touches such as the beautiful home cooked cake waiting for us on arrival, which demanded our immediate attention and was delicious. There was a well-stocked fridge with all we could want for breakfast and pastries delivered in the morning.
The house is in an excellent location to visit places such as Woodstock, Blenheim, and the surrounding area. We love the Cotswolds and cannot wait to come back to this farmhouse!
Billy Bilkhu
Absolutely amazing!!!
I booked this stay for a birthday, it was absolutely fantastic. Clean, comfy, beautiful location. The extra touches really made the stay. For example the pastries each morning. The homemade cake on our entry. Fresh juice and items in fridge for us. The location was brilliant. Animals to see all around. Nice little walks. The house itself was spotless!!! Rooms stunning we really could not of asked for more and will definitely be booking again. Can’t thank the hosts enough!!

Perfect for a family get-together
We had a wonderful weekend and loved the farmhouse. We found it very clean and comfortable with lots of space for children to play and adults to relax. We arrived to find a delicious cake, pastries, fruit, milk and other provisions had been left for us - much
appreciated. Every morning fresh pastries were delivered and we loved having our breakfast at the big dining table overlooking the field with the duckpond and goats. The farm has The Old Shed cafe, woodland walks, animals to look at, a playground etc so plenty to do onsite as well.
It was a lovely place to spend the weekend and make family memories.
Guest
Beautiful house in lovely location.
We were a group of friends who stayed in the farmhouse for a long weekend. The Farm house has been very well furnished with attention to detail and with a very well equipped kitchen. The house was spotlessly clean. On arrival is a lovely homemade cake and a fridge full of delicious food for breakfasts. Each morning a hamper of fresh bread and pastries is left on your doorstep. The staff on the site were very helpful and friendly. The location is excellent for exploring the Cotswolds and we enjoyed watching the goats and ducks on site. Charlbury is a charming village and we had a lovely supper at The Bull.
I could highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed.
Louise Evans
Excellent stay
Just a beautiful location and property - the wonderful countryside and surroundings are a real treat. The facilities are second to none and the gifted food each day was beyond delicious!
Jonathan Constable
Great location, beautiful countryside
The farmhouse was ideal for a family of 4 couples and 4 small children. It gave us a choice of bedrooms and living space. The surrounding facilities were excellent for touring caravans and motorhomes, The Old Shed Bar & Restaurant provided facilities to families from the site and the locality.
Nigel Selby
Wonderful Family weekend
We enjoyed a wonderful family reunion weekend. As a large group of adults the beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms en suite were wonderful. The spacious lounge and huge dining room were fantastic as we got to enjoy many family meals together. The location was excellent for exploring the Cotswolds. We even managed a game of tennis.
Deborah Gilbert
Family Celebration
The property is well laid out and extremely clean. Fantastic for exploring the Cotswold. Loved the daily baguette/croissant deliveries. Highly recommend the property and the owners.
Guest
Wonderful stay
What a fabulous house! A perfect place for our annual family get together. Ideal for the little ones too, with plenty of things to entertain them close by.
The daily hampers were delicious and very fresh.
Everything was superb, we all loved it!
A minor thing - the first bedroom upstairs on the right had no mirror or stool by the dressing table, so nowhere to dry hair or put make up on. But that was the only thing that prevents me from saying 'perfect!'
Rachel Hine
Fantastic home for country side holiday
We enjoyed 4 fantastic nights staying at the Farmhouse (although wish we could’ve stayed far longer)! The home was immaculate and had everything you could’ve needed for a large group. The special touch of a freshly baked cake and homemade granola on arrival alongside the bacon, sausages, eggs and juice was amazing. The freshly pastries delivered to the door each morning really made our days. Highly recommend for your Cotswold stay, you won’t regret it.
Susan O'Connor
Beautiful house, perfect for a long weekend with the family
Really beautiful house with absolutely everything we could've needed - the kitchen was very well stocked with pans, crockery and utensils, which was great as we cooked on two of the nights. And having two dishwashers made life a lot easier! The welcome hamper was lovely, particularly the fresh bread and pastries in the mornings.
All the bedrooms and bathrooms were beautifully done out and there was plenty of space. The weather was amazing so we spent a lot of time outside, making use of the picnic benches and games provided, and also the tennis court on site.
It was nice to stay in a place which was as lovely in real life as it looked in the photos! Would definitely recommend.
Helen Wilson
Lovely place
Excellent stay, loved the house, the location and the pastries! I can’t wait to come back, as 3 days wasn’t enough!

Banbury Hill Farmhouse
We had a wonderful stay at Banbury Hill Farmhouse. The house is beautiful, clean, spacious and is in very good condition. It is in a lovely area and the farm animals on the site were a big draw for the younger members of our group whilst disc golf was a hit with the adults. However, what sets this property apart from others we've stayed at is the generous food provision. We were astounded by the quantity and quality of the food left for us - enough breakfast provisions to cater for a large group for a number of days along with homemade cakes, granola and shortbread along with a large platter of fruit. We had bread and croissants delivered daily and almost had to be rolled away at the end of our stay. A really lovely location for a break and thoughtful owners/hosts who had thought of everything we could need - we'd love to return.
Jo Riches
Wonderful stay with family and friends
Far exceeded all our expectations. Was not expecting the breakfast hamper to be so generous.
All the mod cons made our stay wonderful. Everything is top quality.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome.
Kayon Abrams
Beautiful accommodation
Our stay at The Farmhouse was absolutely wonderful. We were a family of 10 who stayed for 3 nights. The accommodation was spacious, luxurious, clean and beautiful. The welcome pack was fabulous; orange juice, milk, bacon, sausages, fresh fruit, yoghurt and home made cake. The morning fresh baguettes, pan au chocolates and croissants were delicious. We would highly recommend The Farmhouse.
Nicola Brinkworth
A late Christmas celebration for my family
What a fantastic place for a family holiday. We had a wonderful weekend in the farmhouse. The hampers were a big tick from all the family especially my grandson who devoured the chocolate croissant with evidence all over his face and hands. Precious moments and memories will be forever in our hearts from our time in the house. Thank you Bolthole for letting us stay.
Debra Gammon
Lovely stay at Banbury Hill
We booked Banbury Hill farmhouse for 13 family members, everyone was impressed and said how lovely it was. Recommended!
Breakfast bread and pastries were 1st class.
Thank you
Simon Briggs
Beautiful house near a lovely cotswold village
This property had it all! It was the best equipped house we’ve stayed at with such a large group and was in a great location. Everyday we received freshly baked pastries and bread, which was a nice touch, and the house came with everything required for a weekend of delicious breakfasts.
The only tiny downside would be that in the height of summer, the camping/caravan park may be really busy which the nearby cafe could become a bit of an issue with noise/people.
Paul Millward
A perfect stay all round
We had a wonderful weekend stay here (7 adults, 2 teens and 3 kids). The place is absolutely incredible. Well furnished, really well equipped (it had a massive slow cooker as well as a toaster maker, wine fridge, etc etc) and was well stocked on arrival (sausages, bread, milk, fruit, bread etc). And every morning fresh pastries and bread delivered to our doorstep! Well situated (we visited rollright stones and crocodile world) and our kids loved the farm animals right outside and visited the goats every day. The teens had their own space in which to quietly retreat and the adults had a good chit chat.
Overall it was perfect for what we wanted and we would for the first time ever seriously consider returning to the same place again!
Guest
Amazing farmhouse, more than we could ever have imagined!
Everything about the farmhouse is just amazing, the interior is luxurious and spotless. It was perfect for my family of 11 including 3 very young children who loved the garden, ducks, goats and sheep and the dinosaur trail through the woods.
Service was faultless with fresh pastries and baguettes delivered every morning, even on the day of leaving.
Absolutely recommend this holiday home!
Vivian Medhurst
Absolutely fantastic
An amazing farmhouse for our family reunion of 9 adults and 3 young children. We couldn't have wanted for more. All the bedrooms are really comfortable and have plenty of space and most have an ensuite bathroom. The whole house is tastefully decorated and furnished. To top it all the fridge was loaded with sausages, bacon, yoghurt, fresh fruit, butter, milk and homemade fruit compote. We also had a huge tray of eggs, homemade granola, a big homemade cake and every morning a hamper of croissants, pain au chocolat, fluffy pancakes and french bread was brought to us. Lots of games were available and the outdoor ones would have been great if we'd had better weather! Placed on a farm with goats, lambs, ducks, chickens, donkeys, there were plenty of walks and trails. A children's park nearby and a little shop just meant everything was provided. An excellent place to stay.
Mary Pirie
Fabulous property
Fantastic property with excellent hosts. The house was set up fabulously with everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. They provided lovely fresh pastries and bread each morning and the kitchen was set up with fresh orange juice, granola and sausages.
Would recommend to anyone to stay here.
Caitlin Whitby
Long weekend with friends.
The house is stunning with beautiful views. Each room, bathroom & kitchen was spotless with beautiful little touches throughout the house to make it feel really special. Quite close to the campsite behind but it didn’t impact us at all - no noise and still felt secluded as the house faces the rolling hills. The staff were so attentive and the fresh breakfast drop off was a highlight for some of the ladies. Would definitely recommend!!

Many of the experiences are incredibly popular, and we encourage booking in advance because these little extras can turn your everyday holiday into a fantastic, fond memory, one you aren’t soon to forget.
