This modern yet rustic farmhouse-style property sleeps four humans and two hounds. Enjoy a sunny walk around the beautiful surrounding downlands and meet the friendly neighbourhood horses and animal residents on the farm. Dust off muddy paws and boots before relaxing in style with a glass of something bubbly, or a bowl of water, around the table on the private patio area.

Relax on the sofas in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and appreciate the beautiful elm beams and decoration as Fido pads around happily on the underfloor heated tiles. Take a short walk over to the contemporary kitchen and rustle up a tasty meal to enjoy around the solid wood dining table, whilst appreciating the magnificent view through the double doors leading to the patio. Enjoy a morning coffee from the comfort of your double bed and feel the country air waft through the open French doors with a Juliet balcony. Next door, there is a tastefully-decorated twin room and a stylish family bathroom.

The cottage was tastefully furnished with high quality fabrics, furnishings and equipment. The cottage was constructed using a framework of very old timber which gave it character. The view was spectacular and it was lovely to see the sheep grazing throughout the day. The underfloor heating heating provided enough heat to provide warmth without makRead moreing the cottage stuffy. Its position in the county enabled visitors to visit places of interest without needing to travel far. Thame is delightful. Hide

We enjoyed our holiday at Red Kite cottage. Very peaceful week in a well appointed cottage with splendid views over the far reaching countryside. We saw red kites on several occasions. Owner Georgina was very friendly and helpful.
