Our collection of homes offers something for everyone, ranging from cosy boltholes perfect for a romantic retreat to spacious properties that can comfortably host the entire family.

Whether you’re here for a weekend trip, a longer stay, or a special occasion, we’re committed to making your getaway a perfect escape.
**Important:** We are committed to protecting our homes and guests, which is why you will be asked to complete our independent ID verification as part of the booking process. It’s nice and easy - taking less than 5 mins to complete.
*** Please note: You will be contacted by our trust and safety partner Truvi via email and/or text to complete the booking verification. You will also be given the choice between paying a fully refundable deposit with a non-refundable admin fee of 6 GBP or buying a non-refundable damage waiver of 25 GBP which would protect you from paying for accidental damage during your stay.
Property information
We welcome you to enjoy a perfect, unique retreat in our newly built, sustainable pods, a studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom situated in the beautiful Chipping Norton countryside! If you are looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this is the place for you!
The space
As you step in to each pod, you will be welcomed into the open plan kitchen and living area overlooking the lake and stunning panoramic views. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the basics you need to enjoy a cosy cooking night together or to prepare a big breakfast, to fuel you for a day of exploring!
The pods also boast a brand new bathroom each and cosy bedrooms (or bedroom space in the studio!), with comfortable double beds so you can fully switch off from the outside world. The collective pods are the perfect space for family and friends to spend some quality time together (while maintaining your own space too!)
Each pod also has a private beautiful decked balcony each that offer fantastic views to fully immerse you in the countryside and comfortable furniture to enjoy outside dining!
All are located within the boundaries of the Old Chalford Estate, a 600 acre working farm bordering the Cotswolds. Its setting is idyllic with lakes, farmland and many public walk ways. Enjoyed by both those who like a relaxing escape in the countryside or would like to work away from the office for a change. It's located 3 miles from Chipping Norton, 6 miles from Soho Farmhouse and 9.5 miles from Blenheim Palace.
Access to the pods is via the main estate driveway with private parking available. As we are located on a farm on the outskirts of the town, a car is necessary for getting around (though there are local taxi companies and the adventurous can walk via the public walkways and bridleways to Chipping Norton where buses are available to neighbouring villages including Enstone, Woodstock (Blenheim Palace) and Oxford).
