Cottage w/ secure gated parking 7 mins from Henley
Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom
Our country cottage is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or longer stay. It is minutes away from Henley on Thames, can sleep 5 people and has gated parking. It shares a beautiful, spacious garden with your hosts (who live next door) with a private, seated outdoor area. The sitting room and bedroom both look onto the garden. It’s rural and quiet enough to take advantage of beautiful walks nearby but equally, has a village shop, post office and local pub and restaurants all within walking distance.
Good to know
Located in the village of Binfield Heath in the pretty Oxfordshire countryside, a stone’s throw from Henley on Thames, this enchanting Airbnb getaway awaits your arrival! Our delightful 2-bedroom cottage is the ideal retreat for couples, small families, or friends seeking a serene and cosy stay. Once you step inside, you'll be welcomed by a warm and inviting living space which looks straight onto the extensive gardens and fields beyond. A comfortable sofa easily converts into a large sofa bed (which sleeps one comfortably). The room is also fitted with blackout blinds. Enjoy a good book, watch Netflix on TV or simply sit and take in the views. Also downstairs is a second, very comforable double bedroom which also overlooks the gardens. The kitchen is well-equipped with induction hob, tall fridge, full size dishwasher and washing machine (no dryer), and is conveniently situated next to the living area. There’s plenty of countertop and cupboard space making it a spacious kitchen to prepare meals in. The farmhouse-style dining table is in the kitchen. There is also a WC downstairs. Upstairs, there is a light and airy bedroom with a king size bed and a bathroom, both of which overlook the garden. There is a shower at one end of the bath. Be aware the upstairs rooms are in the eves so height is restricted in areas. Step outside, and you'll discover a sprawling, cottage-style garden. The garden offers the perfect setting for al fresco drinks in the warmer months - there’s outside comfy seating under the pergola. Our property also has private, gated parking for two cars. The cottage is 50 metres from the local shop, post office and playground and a 10-minute walk from our local pub (the Bottle & Glass Inn) and one of our all-time favourite restaurants, Orwells. We are also 10 minutes away from Henley on Thames, famous for its Royal Regatta. A local bus service goes into Henley and further afield, to Marlow, High Wycombe and Reading. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE COTTAGE: the cottage is semi-detached, the main house being where Superhosts, Mark and Sian live. The garden is large and also has Mark’s office in it, so you may see him walking to and from his man cave! It’s shared space which we really want guests to feel at home in and enjoy, and equally want your privacy to be respected. The cottage’s al fresco seating area is not overlooked at all by the main house. Another point to note is that Mark and Sian have two Burmese cats, Loki and Smokey who you may also see in the garden. They are super friendly and chatty.
Other Details to Note
Our house is in a village with limited local amenities (pub, post office, small shop) so having a car is definitely beneficial if you wanted to check out the local countryside or go further afield.
