Just minutes from junction seven or eight on the M40, this beautiful cottage is in the hamlet of North Weston, a mile from the picturesque market town of Thame, where you will find a choice of pubs and restaurants as well as the leisure centre. The cottage enjoys a rural location with the bonus of a bus stop at the end of the drive for Oxford, Thame or Aylesbury. Haddenham train station is about five miles for links to London/Marylebone, Bicester, Banbury or Warwick, so whilst a car is handy for visits to nearby attractions such as Waddesdon Manor, Hartwell House at Stone or Chiltern Open Air Museum, there is plenty of public transport on hand.

Entering the cottage, the first room welcoming you is the large open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner; the beautiful beams and limestone floor combine for an elegant and homely space, with underfloor heating making sure that even in winter your feet are kept warm. The lounge features comfortable soft furnishings, including a sofa bed, and a TV/DVD, the ideal space for relaxing in and watching a film after a long day of exploring. The dining table is large enough to seat up to six people, so if you decide to whip up a home-cooked meal whilst away there’s plenty of room to enjoy it together. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with everything you could need, with beautiful worktops and fitted units which make cooking feel anything but a chore ; comprising of an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine, it’s a stunning space to spend time in. There is also a WC downstairs. On the first floor, there are two spacious bedrooms full of character with beamed ceilings. The master bedroom features a double bed, TV and French doors opening up to a Juliet balcony, whilst the second has twin single beds. The bathroom also has elm beams as a prominent feature of the room, and comprises of a bath, separate shower cubicle, and WC.

Doors from the lounge lead out to the private patio area, complete with garden furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining in the summer. There is also 270 acres of farmland surrounding the property, so you won’t be short of open land to roam around on!

Beautiful cottage with everything we needed. Lovely facilities and gorgeous views with a visit from the sheep on our last day. Lots of things to see and do nearby and there were plenty of leaflets provided with local walks and places to visit.

The cottage is lovely and is in an amazing country setting but still only a short drive to the M40. Peaceful and relaxing with great walks from the back garden. Georgina was helpful and friendly and responded quickly to any questions. Very much hope that we get to stay there again.

The most peaceful and amazing break we have had. The cottage was so beautiful, full of charm and yet very comfortable and well equipped. We will definitely be looking to come back. The location is brilliant and we watched the red kites as they flew over the fields form the patio which was idyllic. There is nothing we could have added and nothing weRead more would have taken away from the experience. Hide

Sparrow Hawk Cottage is beautiful. There is plenty of kitchen equipment for cooking plus sufficient crockery and cutlery. The cottage is well furnished with quality fabrics and sufficient drawer space and hanging space (in bedrooms). We holidayed in the winter so were unable to enjoy the outdoor eating area and BBQ with appropriate tools. I anticipRead moreate that we will return as it was also close to many interesting places-some left to visit! Hide
