Bothy Cottage: Your Countryside Hideaway

Sometimes, a few hours in the country just isn’t enough. Whether you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle for a quiet weekend, find a peaceful sanctuary to spark your creativity, or enjoy an active getaway centered around padel and wild swimming, Bothy Cottage is your home away from home.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Manor Hive estate, our beautifully restored bothy combines traditional rustic charm with cozy, modern comfort. It’s a space designed for slow mornings with a fresh brew, long afternoons lost in a book, and peaceful nights under star-filled country skies.

A True Taste of the Manor Hive Lifestyle

As a guest at the Bothy, you are invited to immerse yourself fully in the rhythm of country life. During your stay, you can:

  • Wander down to the canal and the river

  • Book a slot on the padel court for a fast-paced match right on your doorstep.

  • Enjoy a jar of our signature raw honey waiting for you upon arrival.

  • Access the Oxfordshire countryside and attractions such as Blenheim Palace

Managed with love by our family (and regularly visited by our curious dogs and cats), Bothy Cottage offers an authentic slice of country life. It is the perfect place to unplug, recharge, and live like a local at the Hive.

Bothy Cottage is available for exclusive short lets throughout the year. Due to the intimate nature of the estate, availability is limited.
