Contemporary rural cabin in the Cotswolds

Overview:
Field end started as a small barn built with friends during a barn raising. Now extended by John it is a simple, stylish, underfloor heated 2 bedroom cabin. With a deck that extends into the field at the back, a hammock and a BBQ, it is immersed in surrounding Cotswold countryside. We are dog friendly and have ample parking. Thirty minutes drive to Oxford, three minutes drive to the village of Great Tew and Soho Farmhouse, Field End is well connected for exploring the surrounding rural area. There are two other properties on site, we live in one and the other is called The Artists House and can be booked in conjunction with Field end to sleep a total of 12 guests. Both are completely separate buildings with private entrances and parking.

Ground Floor - With a ramp up to the property and everything at ground level, the property is easy to access. As you enter the property you are led into the open plan kitchen/living area, with a fireplace, sofa and table that seats 4-6 guests it is perfect for cooking and socialising. There are two bedrooms, both King sized which can be separated into singles if required. The larger room is lighter due to a high window and the smaller has an en-suite with a shower. There is another general bathroom with a shower as well. We have a cot available if needed, let us know and we can set that up for your arrival.

Outside - Double doors to the outside which can be left open, bring nature into the kitchen/dining area. There is seating on the deck which can host 8+ guests, a BBQ, sun shade if required and a hammock to enjoy the surrounding nature. There is plenty of parking space on the property, but if you’re arriving with more than 2 cars please let us know.

The Site:
Built originally as a large playroom/nursery we extended added and re-built it as children started to fly our nest in 2015. Designed and built by John you can see the frame going up at the end of the photos. We are part of the Great Tew Estate and Field End is part of the site called Potato Town. The history of the name is a bit of a mystery but the " Town "consists of a cluster of buildings. Field End is separated by a garden, bordered by a lane and fields.

Things to Note:
Pam and John live in one of the other properties on site so help is at hand if required and after having travelled extensively in their youth enjoy hosting other peoples memorable journeys and breaks. Without being too earnest about it we are trying to reduce our waste and adopt eco friendly practices. We air dry our french linen bedding and are moving over to as much organic cotton as possible. We provide toiletries from Faith In Nature in refillable dispensers and do not use chemicals on the garden. As mentioned above, both bedrooms contain beds that can be separated into single beds if needs be, please let us know how you would like the beds for your arrival.

Where you’ll be:
Field End is perfect for exploring the rural Cotswold countryside, you can walk directly into the village of Swerford or walk down “The Lane” a path that leads from the deck of Field End into to beautiful views. The Boxing Hare serving delicious food is 200 yards down the road. Discover the Cotswold villages of Stow on the Wold and Burford within 20 minutes drive. Closer still, explore the thatched village of Great Tew with its Famous Pub The Falkland Arms and enjoy coffee or food to takeaway at Quince and Clover. Soho Farmhouse is less than a five minute drive away. Daylesford Organic Farmshop for spa treatments and luxury is nearby in the village of Kingham. National Trust properties of Hidcote, Chastleton and Upton are within easy reach as is Blenheim Palace and the town of Woodstock. Less than a minute drive from Chipping Norton, shops, pubs and cafes are easily accessible. Oxford is a thirty minute drive away and Bath an hour.

Getting around:
You will need access to a car. The nearest stations are Banbury and Charlbury, both around 20 minutes drive away, Oxford Parkway is slightly further afield but all train stations run direct to London Marylebone or London Paddington. There is a bus that goes into Oxford from Chipping Norton every hour till late.

An idyllic setting and wonderful hosts
we staued for three nights and had the most wonderful stay. The location is great and only a short drive to lots of local attractions and surrounding villages. Our hosts couldn't have done enough for us and we are already planning on coming back next year. Thank you so much for having us.

Mooi vakantiehuis
Mooi vakantiehuis, fijn terras aan de achterzijde met mooi uitzicht over de velden. Veel herten en hazen gezien! Ligt aan drukke weg, maar achter het huis van de eigenaren, waardoor het toch rustig is en veel privacy biedt.

Mooi huis, maar niet zo proper gekuist en met rudimentaire badkamers. Mooi zicht en ligging, hoewel aan een drukke straat gelegen

JUST AWFUL
Dirty, no wardrobes, no drawers, not clean windows, no windows that could be opened, tiny TV , small shower which kept blocking , awful cooker, laundry up the garden and very dirty, all in all worse place we have ever stayed at and for what we got very very expensive. Wish we could have moved elsewhere. One plus owners were very nice but deluded about the barn

Wonderful
This accommodation surpassed our expectations in every way. John was so helpful and friendly. Attention to detail had gone into everything and the outside space was just superb. The icing on the cake was watching a deer walking down to us on the decking whilst we held our breaths. We can't wait to return. Hope the weekend is full of joy and celebration for you both. Carolyn

Mooi basic ingerichte woning.
Heel vriendelijke ontvangst van de eigenaars. De woning ligt achter hun huis en daardoor rustiger, aan een grote weide. Ik miste een kleerkast of de mogelijkheid om de koffer leeg te maken tijdens het verblijf. Ideaal om Cotswolds te bezoeken.

Beautifully laid out cottage
Our hosts were very welcoming to their beautiful and cosy cottage surrounded by blooming flower beds. We had all the necessary amenities and the cottage served as a central base for exploring Oxford and many surrounding villages. The only slight downside was that the property is on a sometimes busy road but during rush hour the passing whoosh of cars can be drowned out with some nice music. We would recommend this cottage for its amenities, beauty and proximity to areas of interest as well as its charming and helpful hosts.

Absolute gem of a holiday barn
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Christmas. The barn is lovely, beautifully presented, very well equpped and really comfortable. What makes it special Is the thoughtfulness of Pam and John (owners)... we arrived to find a Christmas tree and lights all set up and other practical touches - sellotape, cooking foil, kitchen supplies and decent equipment for cooking. Great location, great stay, great owners - thank you both, we’d love to visit again.

a creative charming peaceful haven
A wonderful stay in the artistic artisan building of artist Pam and wood designer John. The sun just drenched through the windows with views across the fields. The beautiful painting of Pam's combined with the detailed use of wood in the building were the foundations for making us feel at home. Add white crisp sheets, Yummy home made bread, a smiley welcome, and great conversation. We are coming back.......

Great place in the countryside
We had a great stay over the warm bank holiday weekend so fully enjoyed the decking area. The property has everything you need and more! Pam and John were great hosts and had left treats and toys for our children to play with. I would certainly recommend a stay here

We spent a lovely holiday in this wonderful house and everything we needed was there - even a box with toys for our children. We loved the interior design and the space outside the house with the hammock and the great view.

We had a lovely weekend visiting local towns and villages and the cottage was a great place to stay, with real thought put into the layout, furnishings and equipment e.g. in the kitchen. The owners were very welcoming too.

Pam & John(and their puppy) are really great hosts, we felt welcomed when we just arrived, everything in or out the house are beautiful. They took us a little but unique local tour, very impressive. We had a wonderful stay, thank the hosts.

Ideal for Mum
Lovely two bed home from home, which is all on one level so ideal for any older guests who may struggle with stairs. Very friendly welcome from owners who live on site, and good selection of free "essentials" such as tea and coffee. Decking area is great spot for afternoon tea and watching the local wildlife, especially pheasants and kites.

A very pleasant stay!
Very nice little cottage close to Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, a very preserved region in England. Really enjoyed this Easter break there. The cottage is suitable for wheelchair as there is a ramp to it. There are 2 Italian-style showers; we requested a plastic chair so we could shower our disabled son and it was fine. Pam and John are very helpful. Definitely recommend.

Cotswold cottage that ticks all the boxes!
Field End cottage provides extremely comfortable accommodation for four in a very attractive part of the Cotswolds. The interior is bright, airy and pleasantly decorated; it is very well appointed, has extremely comfortable beds and the patio seats and table encourage full advantage to be taken of any decent weather. We have just enjoyed an excellent break here. The location is so convenient with numerous attractions within easy reach. There is a good pub - the Masons Arms - which serves excellent food. just down the road. And a network of local paths enable the attractive local villages - Swerford, Hook Norton, Great Tew and Little Tew - to be explored on foot. John and Pam were responsive and helpful from the moment we completed our booking and made us feel extremely welcome throughout our stay. Our daughter was particularly appreciative of the hammock, which enabled her to work on her dissertation without missing out on the remarkably good spring weather. The welcome pack with its local produce was another nice touch. We would recommend this property unreservedly!

a very pleasent stay in the Cotswolds
Exactly as described, our son is in an electrical wheelchair and he could drive his wheelchay through the gravel and enter the cottage thanks to the ramp. Pam & John were very friendly and helpful in providing us with a chair so we could shower our son.

A beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings. John and Pam could not have been more welcoming. The cottage was excellent for my access needs - ramped access into the property, step-free access throughout inside and shower cubicles with a very slight step. We cannot wait to return!

An enjoyable place to stay, lovely hosts, and easy access to Cotswold villages and Oxford.
Field End is well situated and screened in Pam's lovely garden, which was full of beautiful dahlias when we were there. They have created a private space for visitors to enjoy, with a wonderful decking area to the rear overlooking open fields and woods, complete with table and seating for al fresco dining, and a hammock to relax in and gaze at the stars! A welcoming gesture of artisan bread, local beer, chorizo, milk, chocolate and fruit was much appreciated to begin our week's stay. The large windows and patio doors provide lots of light to the rooms, with comfortable beds, two shower rooms and fresh flowers from the garden making it an enjoyable interior. Parking is easy, and the property is ideally situated for all the wonderful Cotswold villages and Oxford. It was a pleasure to meet Pam and John, our lovely hosts.

Great Cotswold Vacation Barn
The converted barn was a great home base for visiting the Cotswolds. It was perfect for two couples and was exactly as described. We found it clean and comfortable with all that we needed for our weeks stay. We found fresh flowers, a fresh baked loaf of bread, a bottle of Hook beer, coffee, sugar, a discount card for The Mason Arms Pub (just down the road), and excellent information and instructions for enjoying our stay. The back deck, table, and hammock were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the country view and wildlife. You are near all key towns in this region and there is an Aldi grocery store within 4 miles. The owners were away but their daughter was very friendly and helpful whenever we had questions or needed assistance.
