The Long House - Self-catering barn in Oxfordshire
Goosey Wick Farm,
Charney Bassett, Wantage, OX12 0EY, Oxfordshire
England,
Regno Unito
You'll know you've found the right place because your name is written on a blackboard by the door. You'll also find a breakfast hamper with homemade cake. Walk in to bold colours, soaring ceilings and exposed elm beams. The light-filled rooms run one to the other; a kitchen with bright blue Aga - there’s a combi-oven too - cream cupboards, solid wood worktops, exposed stone work and a painted antique Chinese horse. The dining room is where you’ll find the gins (hurrah!) - and leather sofas to sink into. A freestanding wood-burner (logs are on the house) is the focus of the sitting room and unabashed orange, lime and aquamarine in the cushions and rug add to the drama. Bedrooms have real linen, comfy mattresses, lots of pillows and bathrooms with slate tiles, exposed pipework, gleaming white porcelain and a copper bathtub for two in one. If it rains you can take the ‘Nothing Better to do Quiz’ – find unusual objects around you and guess what they were used for and what was paid for them. Cycle, walk, sit about in the sunny courtyard or hop in the car and visit Oxford.

Local points of interest from Lesley Tailford:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Lesley Tailford:
- At the beginning of our long drive is one of many designated footpaths for walkers. There is also an 8 mile circular walk directly out of the barn door. For those happier on 2 wheels bring your bikes and discover the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside.
- .In the picturesque village of Charney Bassett, there will be a warm welcome from hosts Jackie and Ian at The Chequers Inn. Walking distance either by road (no path) or across the fields. See our website for other pub recommendations.
- White Horse Hill a NT beauty spot, take time to walk up the hill to visit the internationally-renowned Bronze-Age Uffington White Horse. It can be seen for miles away leaping across the head of a dramatic dry valley in the Ridgeway escarpment.
- Oxford known for its dreaming spires is easily visited from the barn. Famous for its history and heritage we strongly recommend booking onto one of the walking tours where you will learn so much more about the colleges and the fascinating history.
- The Cotswolds Villages - Burford, Broadway,Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Campden to name a few! Ideal for photography, arts and crafts, antiques, lazy days and afternoon teas.
- You've seen them on the TV now visit the location - Downton Abbey (Highclere House), Blenheim Palace - Woodstock. Inspector Morse filming locations - Oxford Colleges and local pubs!
