Interiors channel Scandinavian restraint—expect natural wood, neutral tones, and plush bedding for an unfussy but restful stay. Most rooms overlook woodland or the edge of the greens, and each is streamlined for comfort, complete with modern amenities, walk-in showers, and thoughtful touches such as local bath products. The lodges suit couples and small groups alike, while the peaceful setting appeals to those after a restorative escape in the countryside.

Retreat

Guests here can start the morning with a stroll from their lodge right out onto walking paths through the surrounding meadows, or linger with coffee on the terrace as the sun rises. Golfers are at the heart of the action, with an 18-hole course just outside the door, but non-golfers can explore the Cotswolds AONB, including Chipping Norton (8 miles, 18 minutes’ drive) and Shipston-on-Stour (6 miles, 12 minutes’ drive). After a day’s exploring, return for sundowners and fresh cooking at The Kitchen. The property is around 14 miles from Banbury station (25 minutes’ drive) and equally accessible from Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, offering a convenient yet secluded countryside break.
