The Laurels, Oxfordshire

About

The Laurels offer 3 beautifully converted barns in a peaceful and rural environment in south Oxfordshire yet close enough to historic Oxford. Tucked away along a private drive, there are three separate self-catering barns that are fully-equipped and stylishly refurbished with a luxury classic country feel combined with traditional ski chalet chic. Each barn has been lovingly renovated, retaining many of the original features including timber walls, exposed beams and stone floors.

Offering flexible accommodation from two to six people, each barn is warm, cosy and comfortable, and set in its own secure, large and private garden. The Laurels offer a unique self-catering holiday experience where days can be spent relaxing in tranquil surroundings or exploring the local area. An ideal location for walkers who can access the local footpath path from the barns’ gates as well as cyclists who want to get out and explore the country roads in this picturesque part of the county.

For those who want to be close to the wonderful restaurants nearby or soak up the history of Oxford and the surrounding area, the barns offer the perfect base. For added privacy, entry to each barn is via an electric gate and cars and bikes can be parked safely outside each property. Super-fast fibre broadband is also available in every barn as well as underfloor heating on both floors.
