A perfect stay for couples seeking a quiet escape in the country
Little Hive is a peaceful studio retreat designed for couples seeking a private, romantic escape in the Oxfordshire countryside.
Thoughtfully designed with a calm, open-plan layout, the space combines warm natural textures, soft lighting and relaxed interiors to create an atmosphere that feels cosy, intimate and restorative. Inside, you’ll find a super king bed, comfortable living area and fully equipped kitchen — everything designed for slowing down and enjoying time together.
Outside, Little Hive opens into its own private garden complete with a hot tub, outdoor dining area, BBQ, fire pit and comfortable seating. Whether it’s slow mornings with coffee overlooking the fields, days spent exploring the Oxfordshire countryside, or evenings unwinding beside the fire pit with a glass of wine, Little Hive is designed to help you switch off from everyday life and reconnect with each other.
Guests are also welcome to explore our private countryside grounds with meandering paths leading around the estate of peaceful natural surroundings. Along the way, you may spot our flock of sheep grazing, rabbits playing in the grass or deer grazing nearby.
Phoebe and Chris were incredibly kind and attentive hosts, always quick to respond to any queries. The house was immaculate, beautifully styled, and offered gorgeous countryside views with breathtaking sunsets.... read more Just a short drive into Oxford city centre, it perfectly combines a relaxing countryside stay with easy access to explore the city. Highly recommended!

We had the most wonderful 2-night stay here. The views were absolutely stunning, and the home itself is beautiful with so many thoughtful, luxurious touches - from White Company linens... read more to Neom toiletries. The location is perfect: peaceful, with great walks right on the doorstep, yet close enough to Oxford to explore easily. Our hosts were so warm and friendly, even surprising us with honey fresh from their own beehives, which was such a special touch. This place is truly a gem, and we would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay. The property was easy to find and perfectly located for visiting Blenheim Palace, The Farmer’s Dog and Oxford (about 30mins drive). The house was immaculate... read more and filled with features we loved—underfloor heating, very comfortable beds, a fun step-up bath for the children, and an Alexa they enjoyed chatting to. The children’s crockery and cutlery were a thoughtful touch, and we also appreciated the log burner in the lounge and the hot tub with its beautiful countryside views. Everything you need for a superb stay has been thought of here! A real highlight was watching a Red Kite right outside the full-length lounge/diner windows. Phoebe was a wonderful host and left generous welcome items including eggs, bread, milk, butter, prosecco, and access to useful cupboard staples like pasta, seasonings, tea, coffee, and granola. Overall, it was a fantastic stay for the whole family, and we’d love to return in the future. Thank you!!!
