Moonlight Barn - Sleeps 4 Dog-friendly Country Retreat Near Oxford

Once a potting shed for a horticultural business and now thoughtfully renovated with an alpine aesthetic, this unique barn conversion is a luxuriously spacious two-bedroom bolthole ideal for groups to enjoy. Moonlight Barn's combination of reclaimed wood walls, tapestries and artwork offer a sense of sanctuary.

Where tradition meets contemporary design, this property offers the ultimate comfort and versatility of a spacious downstairs open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area, featuring a daybed. Soak up the tranquillity of nature in this space, with floor-ceiling windows offering a prime view of the garden, alongside an abundance of natural light into the property. The cosy living room features two large sofas, underfloor heating and high ceilings, with its warm colour tones providing a delightful opportunity to settle down for the evening. This carefully considered haven is excellent for socialising and spending quality time with loved ones.

Spend sunny days enjoying your own private garden, accompanied by outdoor seating for eating and drinking al-fresco. Bunny rabbits may even be spotted darting around as you approach the property. Should you wish to venture out for the day, explore the charms of your local area on foot or travel by car to Oxford to discover the historic city's most-loved attractions.

The patio space wraps around the property, housing one set of table and chairs and an array of potted plants. On the lawn, there is another table and chairs, beneath a pagoda that the owners constructed from mulberry trees and lined with fairy lights, a peacefully quiet spot to enjoy a BBQ outside or watch the stars.

A very pleasant stay - highly recommended

We had a very relaxing stay at Moonlight Barn and appreciated its spaciousness and well-equipped kitchen. We particularly enjoyed dining in the garden. This is a great location for exploring the area and is close to a good selection of places to eat.

8/10 Good

Moonlight Barn

We booked the Barn as it was in a good location to visit all our Southern relatives. We were impressed by the cleanliness and good housekeeping, also the high standard of the furnishings eg comfortable bed, good quality sofas, excellent range of kitchen equipment and crockery etc. We visited in a heatwave, so the two fans were welcome, as was the shaded area outside under the pergola. All in all, another good experience with Bolthole Retreats.

Absolutely Lovely Stay for 5 Nights

We stayed at Moonlight Barn for 5 nights during the June heatwave. While it was hot outside, the large barn windows allowed air flow and there were also two fans to help move air around. The barn is very beautiful and perfectly curated. The kitchen is well-appointed, has everything you might need, and we were left some goodies which were very thoughtful much appreciated (apple juice, crisps, bread, NA rosé, coffee and shortbread biscuits). The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were spotless. We loved seeing the bunnies and hares at dusk/dawn and listening to the birds each morning. We couldn't have asked for a better stay (minus the heatwave! Lol).
