Our holiday cottages in Oxfordshire are ideally placed to explore not only the Oxfordshire countryside but also the many great buildings, museums and cultural amenities the county is blessed with.Without a doubt, the ancient university town of Oxford is the highlight. Here, in the city of dreaming spires, you can explore the colleges and marvel at the breathtaking architecture, so familiar from TV’s Morse. The Ashmolean Museum here is a veritable treasure chest of works of art. And then there’s Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, ancestral home of the Churchill family. This amazing baroque masterpiece puts most other country houses in the shade, and features some magnificent décor, as well as wonderful gardens. Other interesting places for a day out from one of our holiday cottages in Oxfordshire include the charming town of Burford, with its fine houses in glorious Cotswold stone, as well as Woodstock and Chipping Norton, also in the Cotswolds. Fans of William Morris should go to Kelmscott, the village where he and his followers established the arts and crafts movement. The picturesque village of Great Tew is also within easy reach.
