Immerse yourselves in nature with a stay at Owls Barn. Set in the heart of the Chimney Nature Reserve, it offers big views, fresh air and walking routes right from the door. Inside, the open-plan living space is made for spending time together. Bring your friends, family, and the dog for home cooked meals, time spent reminiscing and making new memories and countryside walks to the pub. Owls Barn works brilliantly year-round. The wood-burner keeps things cosy in winter, and the dining terrace is ideal for relaxed summer barbecues.

With five bedrooms across two floors, there’s plenty of space for groups, and each room has its own simple, stylish character. Original beams and exposed Cotswold stone give the barn plenty of charm, balanced with modern comforts.

You’re also just ten minutes from the village of Bampton, one of the key filming locations for Downton Abbey. Wander the village and you’ll recognise St Mary’s Church, the library, and several streets used throughout the series. You’re also close to Burford, the gateway to the Cotswolds, with lots to explore nearby.

Beautiful house in stunning location

We loved our weekend stay at Owl’s Barn. The house was immaculate and the beds and furniture were spotless and so comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and we really appreciated the welcome basket and all the toiletries in the bathrooms. The gardens/grounds were beautiful and right in the middle of a nature reserve so it was super tranquil and full of wildlife. The outside bath was the cherry on top!

Located close to the Thames Path it is very easy to walk straight from the door. Owls Barn has some lovely outdoor seating from which we saw Deer, many birds and even heard a cuckoo.
The property itself was clean, comfortable and spacious.

The Barn had everything we needed, lots of space and fantastic surroundings. Excellent service too from Bolthole Retreats.
