1 / 8The Farm Retreat
Stonesfield, Oxfordshire
A single-storey retreat for four tucked away on a family farm near Stonesfield, with a private enclosed courtyard garden, a suntrap patio, countryside views and two dogs welcome.
Tucked away on a family farm deep in the English countryside near Stonesfield, The Farm Retreat is one of two holiday properties on the site, a peaceful, single-storey bolthole for four with two dogs welcome. French doors lead from the lounge onto a private, enclosed courtyard garden with a suntrap patio and countryside views, which makes it a dog friendly escape from city life.
Inside, the open-plan lounge, diner and kitchen is spacious, with a TV, room for everyone to sit comfortably, and a table where four can eat together, and on a single level like this, the dogs always have company. At the rear of the room the kitchen takes a large triangular shape, fitted out with an electric oven and hob, microwave and dishwasher.
Each of the two bedrooms along the hallway is en-suite: a double with a bath and shower over, and a second double with a day bed and its own wet room. The courtyard garden is where the day winds down, with garden furniture on the suntrap patio, a view of the countryside, and the dogs stretched out close by.
There are peaceful walks along footpaths, holloways and bridleways, with several excellent routes from the nearby village of Stonesfield, and the Salt Way and the Cotswold Way are both close for longer days with the dogs. Local pubs and restaurants are in the surrounding villages, and Oxford and Blenheim Palace make grand days out.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Farm Retreat dog friendly?
Yes, The Farm Retreat welcomes dogs — up to two are allowed. The cottage has an enclosed garden right outside the door, so you can let them out without any fuss, and Stonesfield itself is well placed for walks straight from the property with field edges and a lane network that goes on as far as you want to take it.
Are dogs allowed at The Farm Retreat year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's best to check directly with the property when booking to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that two dogs are welcome and the setup — enclosed garden, countryside walking on the doorstep — works well whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting The Farm Retreat with my dog?
The cottage allows a maximum of two dogs, and the enclosed garden means you can let them out safely without needing to think twice. The property sits within a yard of several cottages with a working farm behind, so it's a sociable setting rather than an isolated one — worth bearing in mind if your dogs are easily distracted by activity. Walking is genuinely on the doorstep, with field paths, quiet lanes and the old Roman road of Akeman Street all reachable on foot from the village.
