About this property
The Hayloft - luxury country retreat
Slow down at The Hayloft, a spacious, stylish retreat above a detached oak-framed barn in peaceful South Oxfordshire.
Rustic character meets thoughtful comfort, with a king-size bed, inviting leather sofa and a well-equipped kitchen. Enjoy leisurely meals, countryside walks and evenings at a nearby village pub.
A welcome basket of breakfast essentials makes settling in easy. Perfect for a romantic weekend, quality time with friends (two legged and four legged!) or a longer countryside escape.
Lovingly renovated by us, The Hayloft combines rustic character with stylish interiors and generous space to unwind. It’s an inviting retreat for couples or friends looking to slow down, enjoy the countryside and spend quality time together.
The spacious bedroom offers a comfortable king-size bed, while the bright ensuite has a roomy shower. For guests who prefer separate beds or for a third guest there is an additional single bed.
Settle into the comfortable leather sofa or chair for an evening in front of the Smart TV, or enjoy a quiet morning with coffee and a good book. There’s also excellent Wi-Fi and a stylish writing desk should you need to catch up on work.
The well-equipped kitchen includes a two-ring hob, oven, fridge and dishwasher — everything you need for leisurely breakfasts or dinner for two. To help you settle in, we provide a welcome basket with eggs, bread, butter, milk, jams, tea and coffee.
Outside, you’ll find a small patio area and ample parking.
There are lovely countryside walks nearby, and we provide maps and suggestions when you arrive in our welcome book. For a relaxed drink or pub supper just a walk away, visit Home Sweet Home in Roke or The Chequers in neighbouring Berrick Salome. Please do check opening hours though as opening times vary.
Nearby Benson offers cafés, shops and everyday essentials, while picturesque Warborough is another lovely village to explore. Oxford is within easy reach, with Park and Ride making a day in the city straightforward.
Well behaved dogs are welcome too but we do ask that dogs are never left alone in The Hayloft and that you vacuum any dog hair before departure.
Whether you’re celebrating an occasion or simply taking a little time away, we look forward to welcoming you to The Hayloft.
We MAY be able to offer an early check in (earliest midday) for an additional £20. Please contact us to enquire
We MAY be able to offer a late check out (1pm) for an additional £20. Please contact us to enquire
If it is a birthday we can hire and put up a large gold Happy Birthday banner for £20 too. Please let us know in advance if this is something you would like.

Really peaceful and relaxing place to unwind. Very clean, well equipped. Good communication with host.Lots of places nearby to eat - though do check days they are open. Would definitely stay again.
What a lovely property. Accommodation was clean with everything you need. Extremely comfortable bed and powerful shower. A quiet and quaint location within easy access to visit local places. Dog friendly. Perfect for a few days away
Really lovely property in a quiet Location. Check in process & communication with owner was great. A few places to eat in walking distance although as it was a Sunday they had stopped serving food early so we were glad for the bread & eggs that had been supplied in the property. We were told nowhere local to buy any groceries. We would really recommend a stay & were sorry it was not for longer.
We are lucky enough to enjoy a few breaks away but I have to say this venue was over and above what we expected. Beautifully presented, immaculately clean, lovely well thought through touches and perfectly located for two foodies and a spoilt pooch

Thank you Nicky - we are so pleased you had a lovely time. Hope to see you again!
The Hayloft was filled with luxury fittings and furniture and provided an excellent base for trip to Oxford.
The Breakfast goodies were a pleasant surprise.
Great value for money
A wonderful place to escape to and relax in peace. We arrived to still warm freshly baked bread in the kitchen, gentle classical music and glowing lamps. The attention to detail throughout was fabulous. Splendid walks and welcoming pubs nearby. Would highly recommend and we are keen to return.
We loved staying in The Hayloft. It was beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and equipped with all you would need for a peaceful getaway.The instructions for arrival and departure were crystal clear and the visitors manual was thoughtfully detailed with numerous recommendations for places to visit, places to eat, walks, etc.The area is incredibly pretty and very quiet.The local pub is stunning and characterful, with friendly staff. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and look forward to staying there again in the near future.
Arrived at the property & the photos do not do it justice. Absolutely superb stay from start to finish we would highly recommend.
The home sweet home we would also suggest to visit 50 metres up the road especially if you love your food. If this site gave 10 stars that’s what we would give.
Woow simply woow! This is a lovely little barn in Oxfordshire every detail of this barn have has a lot thought into it, its just lovely. I would live there.
Me and my family will be coming back but for a longer stay next time., if I could give it a 10 stars I would great little place.
Outdoor temp of 31 degrees was expecting to be cooked alive but Beth provided some fans for us. We opened everything we could and cooler evening air meant we slept well.
We stayed at the Hayloft while visiting our Mum for a few days. It was probably the cleanest holiday let we have stayed in and we have stayed in a lot. Beautiful, high quality fixtures and fittings with a huge comfy bed. Loads of space. The only small niggle was there was no microwave and the TV wasn't easy to use but would definitely go back. Thank you Beth.
The 'Hayloft' is a wonderful place for a couple on a break to Oxfordshire. Very well equipped, super clean and great location. Will definitely use again if in the area. Communication from Beth was excellent.
