As you step into this enchanting abode, you'll be greeted by the tranquil courtyard garden, where the gentle murmur of a fountain sets the tone for your stay. This exquisite property comprises two distinct buildings, Wycliffe Residence and Somerville Residence, each boasting its own unique charm and outdoor seating area - it’s the perfect accommodation choice for larger groups who want to holiday together, while still maintaining privacy when needed. Somerville Townhouse Estate can sleep up to 12 adults, but can accommodate up to 4 additional infants in travel cots.

Step into Somerville Residence, where comfort and relaxation are at the heart of everything. The ground floor greets you with a bright, open-plan reception room, filled with cosy seating and cheerful décor, making it the perfect spot to put your feet up.

Every bedroom features hand-crafted super-king beds with Vi-Spring Elite mattresses, promising a great night’s sleep. The ensuite bathrooms are finished with elegant porcelain and natural stone, offering freestanding baths and luxurious monsoon or raindrop showers—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring Oxford.

Outside, the secluded garden is a peaceful retreat, with a spacious dining area beneath a leafy arbour, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco. The SONOS architectural sound system brings the space to life with rich, immersive sound throughout the residence.

Wycliffe Residence, a historic treasure within the estate, blends period charm with modern comfort. Follow the grand 17th-century wood-panelled staircase to discover two stunning full-floor suites, each a stylish haven with super-king beds, soft seating, and ensuite bathrooms featuring roll-top baths and rain showers.

Downstairs, the fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, while the period wood-panelled sitting room provides a cosy and elegant spot to relax, full of historic charm.

With a butler’s pantry, a shared courtyard garden, and an in-ceiling sound system, Somerville Townhouse Estate isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home.

Luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in Oxfordshire

Pack your bags and get ready for a holiday extravaganza in the heart of England in Oxfordshire, where Oliver's Travels’ luxury properties promise a vacation that is equal parts history, breathtaking landscapes, culinary delights and quality time with your nearest and dearest.

First stop, the city of Oxford, a place that seamlessly mixes medieval charm with academic grandeur. Picture yourself strolling through the historic Oxford University, a collection of architectural wonders that have been around since the 12th century. You will marvel at the Bodleian Library and strike a pose next to the iconic Radcliffe Camera. You will feel the weight of centuries of tradition as you explore the hallowed halls of the colleges of Christ Church, Magdalen and New College.

Oxfordshire is not just about dusty old books and mortarboards. Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a statement of architectural brilliance and where Sir Winston Churchill came into this world. You can take a leisurely stroll through Capability Brown-designed gardens, feeling like royalty. The Ashmolean Museum, the oldest public museum in the world, invites you to time-hop through millennia with its extensive collection of art and artifacts. If eclectic displays are your thing, the Pitt Rivers Museum will take you on a wild journey through different cultures and periods.

For those who prefer the great outdoors, the Cotswolds are your playground. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, these rolling hills stretch into Oxfordshire, adorned with quaint villages like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford and Chipping Norton. You will get lost in charming streets, admire honey-hued cottages and indulge in the warm embrace of local pubs, where every pint feels like a hug from the English countryside.

The River Thames gracefully winds its way through the county, offering opportunities for leisurely walks along its banks or tranquil boat rides. Henley-on-Thames, famous for the Royal Regatta and fabulous festivals, is your go-to spot for riverside elegance. Boating enthusiasts, grab your captain's hat and casual strollers, prepare for a delightful riverside saunter.

Oxfordshire's magic doesn't end at its borders. Nearby cities and towns are calling your name. Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Roman Baths and Georgian architecture, is just a short drive away. Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare, invites you to explore the Bard's legacy and enjoy performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Oxfordshire is a carnival of academia, architecture and awe-inspiring landscapes. Whether you are soaking in the academic allure of Oxford, exploring historic palaces and museums or strolling through the timeless Cotswolds, Oxfordshire promises a holiday that will captivate not just your mind, but your soul too.
