    "Fantastic large family accommodation in a perfect location close to many Cotswold attractions."

    A great holiday was had by all three generations in out party.

    Hi, Thank you very much for your fabulous review of The Paddock. We are so pleased all the family enjoyed the house and had you such a great time out and about in Oxfordshire. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. Property Owner

    "The paddock is a beautiful unique stunning property."

    Great facilities incl washing machine & wet room. Loved that there was ample kitchen equipment. Beds were extremely comfy, garden was private and we enjoyed sitting out on the garden benches. Just an observation not a complaint but single beds very thin & if for kids, should possibly be upstairs near adults. Living area cosy. Loved it. Highly recommended

    Hi, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy The Paddock worked for your family holiday and you enjoyed the garden and facilities. Thank you for feedback about the beds we will make a note and see if we can work on it for the future. Thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy Property Owner

    A stair gate, to put across the stairs would have prevented us having to use the fire guard to stop our dog going upstairs.

    "As we were very lucky with weather we spent a lot of time in the garden ."

    However 3 comfy seats wasn’t adequate and the bench is really only ok for a short sit . Again due to heat we would have liked fans in the bedrooms as all found it difficult to sleep due to temp Apart from the above we loved the paddocks and would return again . An area with beautiful villages and hardly any visitors / Bird in hand pub was a great recommendation and we had a perfect meal there

    Hi, Thank you for your lovely review of The Paddock and the amazing comments which were left in the guest book, we are pleased your reunion was such a fun trip. Unfortunately 2 of our garden chairs were damaged and had to be replaced, which they have been now. We have also noted your comments about fans. The house usually stays cool due to it being a converted limestone Cotswold barn, I think we were caught out by it being such a hot weekend, I have also left instructions on how to keep it cool. We are delighted you loved the house and would return. Best wishes Property Owner

    "A lovely cottage."

    Clean, comfortable, and well equipped . . . . except, the dinner plates are too small, the toaster only takes smaller slices, oh, and a piece fell off the cute toast rack. All minor stuff though. We did enjoy our stay there.

    "Everything was great except the layout of the rooms."

    Having just one toilet and bathroom on the first floor with 4 bedrooms caused some slight issues with access to facilities in the mornings. Also sound travelled through the house and with no door to the kitchen from the lounge even unloading the dishwasher had to wait until everyone was awake. Lights switches were oddly linked. Thank you for letting us check out a bit later- we left soon after 10 but it took the pressure off.

    Hi, Thank you very much for your wonderful 5* review. We are sorry to hear the layout of the house didn’t work well for you, but really hope it didn’t spoil your weekend. Thank you for leaving the house lovely and clean and tidy. Property Owner

    "A Magical Christmas Stay at the Cottage Our family had an absolutely wonderful time at this cozy cottage over the Christmas break."

    From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage was beautifully decorated for the holidays, complete with twinkling lights and festive touches that instantly set the mood. The space was clean, warm, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was perfect for preparing our holiday meals, and the living room, with its crackling fireplace, became the heart of our family time. It was the perfect spot to relax with a cup of hot cocoa and watch Christmas movies. The location was ideal—peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to nearby shops and attractions. We loved taking winter walks in the surrounding area and coming back to the cottage to warm up. The hosts were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Their thoughtful touches, like leaving a welcome basket and a handwritten holiday card, truly made us feel special. Our Christmas at this cottage was everything we hoped for—magical, relaxing, and filled with quality family time. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming getaway.

    Thank you very much for your kind 5* review, we are really happy you had such a wonderful time and your Christmas was magical for you and your family. Thank you for being 5* guests and leaving The Paddock so beautifully clean and tidy. We are delighted the cottage had everything you needed to make your holiday special and you were able to enjoy your precious family time. Happy new year to you all and we hope to welcome you all back in the future. Property Owner

    We stayed 1st-5th nov 24, we came for a big birthday celebration. The house had everything we possibly could have needed. It was very comfortable and felt homely. There was plenty of space especially outside for my 2 year old to fun around in a secure garden. This was a perfect house for our needs and had plenty of space for us all to retreat in the evenings.

The property

Witney 2.3 miles.

The Paddock is a charming, detached home in the hamlet of New Yatt, Oxfordshire, just a short drive from Witney and the Cotswolds AONB.

With a private, gated driveway and welcoming two well-behaved dogs, this characterful retreat is perfect for large families or groups of friends seeking a serene countryside escape.

Upon entering the property, be delighted by the seamless blend of exposed brick, vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, and unique decor pieces with modern appliances in the kitchen, creating a perfect harmony of historic charm and contemporary convenience.

Cook up a storm in the kitchen, and savour your meal at the spacious dining table, awaiting long dinner party natter and family bonding.

If the weather permits, the enclosed front garden is a haven for relaxation, featuring a well-kept lawn and outdoor furniture where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining or simply soak up the tranquil surroundings.

Afterwards, curl up on the plush seating in the sitting room, equipped with a Smart TV to provide the evening’s entertainment, and a warm woodburning stove for those chillier evenings.

The ground floor also features an accessible wet room, thoughtfully designed to accommodate those with limited mobility, ensuring a comfortable bathing experience.

The sleeping arrangements consist of five tastefully-presented bedrooms, ensuring a flexible sleeping arrangement for all.

On the ground floor, you will find a twin room, which can be converted into a king-size on request, or one of the beds can also be tucked away to create a single bed if desired.

Upstairs, there are three king-size rooms and a double room.

The property also hosts a sleek ground-floor shower room, as well as a bathroom, offering ample space for everyone to prepare for their day.

With a great choice of walks, exploration beckons from this delightful abode; set foot in North Leigh Roman Villa, an archaeological site that uncovers the rich history of this area, or take a short drive to Witney with a cinema, Windrush Leisure Centre, tennis courts and mini golf or take a stroll towards the District Museum to further delve into the heritage of this picturesque town.

The outskirts of Witney houses the Witney Lakes Resort Golf for any guests looking to stay active!

Nature enthusiasts can take a visit to Crocodiles of the World, offering hands-on encounters with these prehistoric creatures, or the Cotswold Wild Life Park which is on the doorstep of Burford, the Gateway to the Cotswolds, with its picturesque hill littered with shops, tea rooms and award winning pubs!

There is also Burford Garden Centre and Burford Golf Club for any sporty guests.

The neighbouring stretch of Combe Mill invites you to explore the only surviving Victorian working sawmill along the River Evenlode as well as Blenheim Palace, housing the birthplace of Winston Churchill.

Whilst further afield is the Cotswolds, where you can hike along the rolling hills, enjoy quaint tea rooms and traditional pubs, and visit historic manor houses and gardens.

Heading further out you can expect to find wonders such as Chipping Norton and the famous Diddly Squat Farm, Bampton which will be well known to any Downton Abbey fans and finally Daylesford Organic Farm Shop.

For any handy transport links, both Hanborough Station and Charlbury Station have direct lines to Oxford, Paddington and Worcester.

The Paddock is your idyllic base to unwind after a day of discovery.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
