For a slice of country living just a 20-minute drive southwest of Oxford, Wisteria Lodge offers a detached oak-beamed cottage behind Brian and Julie's thatched house in the village of Cunmore.

You get a double bed, lounge with TV, free WiFi, and full bath with a small kitchenette with a toaster and microwave.

The hosts leave nice little touches, like milk in the fridge to go with your tea or coffee, and toiletries in the bathroom.

A continental breakfast—hot croissants and other pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal—is served in the bright conservatory of the main house.

The village has a pub and a restaurant a short walk away.
