Little Coach House is an utterly delightful barn conversion in the grounds of Rectory Farm. This is a quirky and colourful place to stay sitting within a quiet village on the outskirts of Oxford. Sleeping four in two bedrooms, this dog-friendly escape has plenty of character and personality. Guests also have use of the lovely farmhouse gardens including a croquet lawn and orchard, which leads to the countryside beyond. Offering the best of both worlds this is a perfect, rural base from where you can explore the charms of Oxford, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, and the Cotswolds.

Second visit as good as first

The Little Coach House is perfectly located in a lovely village with everything you need within walking distance - The Talkhouse pub serving excellent food, especially the vegan pie! ; great village shop and excellent farm shop - plus beautiful country walks, yet only 10 mins from the Thornhill Park & Ride for easy access to Oxford and all the city has to offer. The cottage is lovingly and thoughtfully maintained by Carla and her team with all one could need for a comfortable stay plus welcome goodies including fresh milk from their farm shop - we felt at home immediately, a fantastic place to relax and enjoy some family time, thank you Carla.

We’ve always loved Stanton St John and this was our first stay. Still loving Stanton St John. Our accomodation was just right for us, being a beautiful building, very neat and tidy and well equiped. Loving the stone walls and doors and stairs that are in keeping with the sense of history. Couldn’t get better parking in this small village, than provided by the Little Coach House.
Can’t praise the village or the Little Coach House enough.

We loved our stay at the Little Coach House. It is set in a beautiful village and is really well equipped and comfortable. It has easy transport links to Oxford and London from the park and ride too. The hosts are lovely and very helpful.



What a wondeful place!

We loved the Little Coach House. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, furnished to high standards and with great taste, airy, bright and so well designed that it feels really spacious (even if it is small). Our two daughters adored having exclusive use the second floor bedroom and the mezzanine adjacent to it (with lots of games in the stylish trunk) as well as the playground just around the corner and the farm shop just a short stroll away. There is lots to visit in easy reach from the cottage. Last, but not least, Carla and Richard, the owners, are discreet but not far if you need help. Well, we needed help because we had a problem with our car...and they went out of their way to help us in all possible ways and literally saved our holiday. We cannot be thankful enough to them nor recommend this property warmly enough.
