Beautifully decorated in a classic style, this seven-bed Cotswold stone farmhouse is the perfect location for celebrating special occasions or gathering friends to make memories. The farmhouse sits nestled at the heart of what was once a working farm, now fully diversified and dedicated to tourism.

The muted interior has sparks of colour giving each room its own personality. A well-equipped modern farmhouse kitchen has everything you could need to serve meals in the stunning dining room and the living room has a cosy woodburner. You will find eye-catching artwork throughout which is in keeping with your surroundings, showing landscapes and farmers’ markets. Outside is a spacious lawn and patio with large picnic benches and a fire pit.

We had an amazing weekend at this gorgeous, well equipped and welcoming farmhouse.

We had an amazing stay at this gorgeous, well equipped, and welcoming farmhouse, we were a party of nine adults and three children and there was ample room for everyone, each room was a pleasure to be in and the children loved visiting the animals on the farm.

The hospitality was excellent with lovely touches such as the beautiful home cooked cake waiting for us on arrival, which demanded our immediate attention and was delicious. There was a well-stocked fridge with all we could want for breakfast and pastries delivered in the morning.

The house is in an excellent location to visit places such as Woodstock, Blenheim, and the surrounding area. We love the Cotswolds and cannot wait to come back to this farmhouse!




Absolutely amazing!!!

I booked this stay for a birthday, it was absolutely fantastic. Clean, comfy, beautiful location. The extra touches really made the stay. For example the pastries each morning. The homemade cake on our entry. Fresh juice and items in fridge for us. The location was brilliant. Animals to see all around. Nice little walks. The house itself was spotless!!! Rooms stunning we really could not of asked for more and will definitely be booking again. Can’t thank the hosts enough!!

We had a wonderful weekend and loved the farmhouse. We found it very clean and comfortable with lots of space for children to play and adults to relax. We arrived to find a delicious cake, pastries, fruit, milk and other provisions had been left for us - much
appreciated. Every morning fresh pastries were delivered and we loved having our breakfast at the big dining table overlooking the field with the duckpond and goats. The farm has The Old Shed cafe, woodland walks, animals to look at, a playground etc so plenty to do onsite as well.
It was a lovely place to spend the weekend and make family memories.





Beautiful house in lovely location.

We were a group of friends who stayed in the farmhouse for a long weekend. The Farm house has been very well furnished with attention to detail and with a very well equipped kitchen. The house was spotlessly clean. On arrival is a lovely homemade cake and a fridge full of delicious food for breakfasts. Each morning a hamper of fresh bread and pastries is left on your doorstep. The staff on the site were very helpful and friendly. The location is excellent for exploring the Cotswolds and we enjoyed watching the goats and ducks on site. Charlbury is a charming village and we had a lovely supper at The Bull.
I could highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed.

The farmhouse was ideal for a family of 4 couples and 4 small children. It gave us a choice of bedrooms and living space. The surrounding facilities were excellent for touring caravans and motorhomes, The Old Shed Bar & Restaurant provided facilities to families from the site and the locality.

We enjoyed a wonderful family reunion weekend. As a large group of adults the beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms en suite were wonderful. The spacious lounge and huge dining room were fantastic as we got to enjoy many family meals together. The location was excellent for exploring the Cotswolds. We even managed a game of tennis.

What a fabulous house! A perfect place for our annual family get together. Ideal for the little ones too, with plenty of things to entertain them close by.
The daily hampers were delicious and very fresh.
Everything was superb, we all loved it!
A minor thing - the first bedroom upstairs on the right had no mirror or stool by the dressing table, so nowhere to dry hair or put make up on. But that was the only thing that prevents me from saying 'perfect!'

We enjoyed 4 fantastic nights staying at the Farmhouse (although wish we could’ve stayed far longer)! The home was immaculate and had everything you could’ve needed for a large group. The special touch of a freshly baked cake and homemade granola on arrival alongside the bacon, sausages, eggs and juice was amazing. The freshly pastries delivered to the door each morning really made our days. Highly recommend for your Cotswold stay, you won’t regret it.

Really beautiful house with absolutely everything we could've needed - the kitchen was very well stocked with pans, crockery and utensils, which was great as we cooked on two of the nights. And having two dishwashers made life a lot easier! The welcome hamper was lovely, particularly the fresh bread and pastries in the mornings.

All the bedrooms and bathrooms were beautifully done out and there was plenty of space. The weather was amazing so we spent a lot of time outside, making use of the picnic benches and games provided, and also the tennis court on site.

It was nice to stay in a place which was as lovely in real life as it looked in the photos! Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Banbury Hill Farmhouse. The house is beautiful, clean, spacious and is in very good condition. It is in a lovely area and the farm animals on the site were a big draw for the younger members of our group whilst disc golf was a hit with the adults. However, what sets this property apart from others we've stayed at is the generous food provision. We were astounded by the quantity and quality of the food left for us - enough breakfast provisions to cater for a large group for a number of days along with homemade cakes, granola and shortbread along with a large platter of fruit. We had bread and croissants delivered daily and almost had to be rolled away at the end of our stay. A really lovely location for a break and thoughtful owners/hosts who had thought of everything we could need - we'd love to return.

All the mod cons made our stay wonderful. Everything is top quality.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Our stay at The Farmhouse was absolutely wonderful. We were a family of 10 who stayed for 3 nights. The accommodation was spacious, luxurious, clean and beautiful. The welcome pack was fabulous; orange juice, milk, bacon, sausages, fresh fruit, yoghurt and home made cake. The morning fresh baguettes, pan au chocolates and croissants were delicious. We would highly recommend The Farmhouse.

What a fantastic place for a family holiday. We had a wonderful weekend in the farmhouse. The hampers were a big tick from all the family especially my grandson who devoured the chocolate croissant with evidence all over his face and hands. Precious moments and memories will be forever in our hearts from our time in the house. Thank you Bolthole for letting us stay.

We booked Banbury Hill farmhouse for 13 family members, everyone was impressed and said how lovely it was. Recommended!
Breakfast bread and pastries were 1st class.

Thank you

This property had it all! It was the best equipped house we’ve stayed at with such a large group and was in a great location. Everyday we received freshly baked pastries and bread, which was a nice touch, and the house came with everything required for a weekend of delicious breakfasts.
The only tiny downside would be that in the height of summer, the camping/caravan park may be really busy which the nearby cafe could become a bit of an issue with noise/people.

We had a wonderful weekend stay here (7 adults, 2 teens and 3 kids). The place is absolutely incredible. Well furnished, really well equipped (it had a massive slow cooker as well as a toaster maker, wine fridge, etc etc) and was well stocked on arrival (sausages, bread, milk, fruit, bread etc). And every morning fresh pastries and bread delivered to our doorstep! Well situated (we visited rollright stones and crocodile world) and our kids loved the farm animals right outside and visited the goats every day. The teens had their own space in which to quietly retreat and the adults had a good chit chat.
Overall it was perfect for what we wanted and we would for the first time ever seriously consider returning to the same place again!

Everything about the farmhouse is just amazing, the interior is luxurious and spotless. It was perfect for my family of 11 including 3 very young children who loved the garden, ducks, goats and sheep and the dinosaur trail through the woods.
Service was faultless with fresh pastries and baguettes delivered every morning, even on the day of leaving.
Absolutely recommend this holiday home!

An amazing farmhouse for our family reunion of 9 adults and 3 young children. We couldn't have wanted for more. All the bedrooms are really comfortable and have plenty of space and most have an ensuite bathroom. The whole house is tastefully decorated and furnished. To top it all the fridge was loaded with sausages, bacon, yoghurt, fresh fruit, butter, milk and homemade fruit compote. We also had a huge tray of eggs, homemade granola, a big homemade cake and every morning a hamper of croissants, pain au chocolat, fluffy pancakes and french bread was brought to us. Lots of games were available and the outdoor ones would have been great if we'd had better weather! Placed on a farm with goats, lambs, ducks, chickens, donkeys, there were plenty of walks and trails. A children's park nearby and a little shop just meant everything was provided. An excellent place to stay.

Fantastic property with excellent hosts. The house was set up fabulously with everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. They provided lovely fresh pastries and bread each morning and the kitchen was set up with fresh orange juice, granola and sausages.
Would recommend to anyone to stay here.

The house is stunning with beautiful views. Each room, bathroom & kitchen was spotless with beautiful little touches throughout the house to make it feel really special. Quite close to the campsite behind but it didn’t impact us at all - no noise and still felt secluded as the house faces the rolling hills. The staff were so attentive and the fresh breakfast drop off was a highlight for some of the ladies. Would definitely recommend!!
