Sandown

Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire

If you're looking for genuine luxury in a holiday cottage, Sandown is ideal. Sleeping up to 4 people, this amazing property boasts a downstairs master bedroom with king-sized four-poster bed and en-suite bathroom, as well as an upstairs twin room with two four-poster beds of its own in addition to an en-suite shower room. Both rooms come complete with spectacular decor that'll make your holiday one to remember.

The open-plan kitchen, drawing and dining room hints at Sandown's past as a carriage house, with impressive spaciousness that makes it the perfect place to socialise and relax. Comfortable seating, an open fire, a bookcase and a writing desk supply a truly amazing atmosphere here.

The well equipped kitchen offers an oven and hob, a fridge-freezer, a microwave, an island unit, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a tumble dryer, ensuring you'll have no problems making meals on your self-catering holiday. There's also a helpful welcome hamper prepared for when you show up, meaning you'll have a good stock of eggs, milk, butter and other essentials, all from local farms, in addition to some special luxuries like champagne.

The final touch of elegance is the large terrace, complete with garden furniture and barbecue, that gives splendid views across the lawn and flowerbeds.

Your holiday wouldn't be complete without trying out the many other on-site facilities available for guests. Take a dip in the swimming pool, relax at the spa, and keep your exercise routine going with a visit to the gym. The kids will love the amazing play areas, too.
