The Location

Watlington is England’s smallest town and provides the chance to soak up the charm of its pubs and shops after exploring the postcard-worthy countryside surrounding it. It’s also Midsomer Murder country for fans of the TV show.

Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve is right beside the village, the famous Chiltern Hills are very close by as is the The Ridgeway National Trail. Many historic country houses and gardens are short distances from Watlington, as well as some Abbeys. The gorgeous city of spires, Oxford, is less than 30 minutes’ drive away and for retail therapy Bicester Village is just 15 minutes away.

Extremely accessible from London, the cottage is an ideal country escape. The M40 motorway is a quick 5 minute drive from town and there are bus options to get you close by – but a car does give you greater flexibility and accessibility.

  • Wisteria cottage is so well connected by road making coming and going a breeze

  • Jane has added an electric vehicle charging point which is rather handy if you’re an eco driver
