Shepherd's Loft

Oxford, Central England

🚆 Nearest station: · 2.9 mi

Shepherd's Loft is a cosy cottage just outside Oxford, in Oxfordshire, set up for two and ideal for a quiet break away from the crowds. It makes a good base if you fancy pottering between small local museums rather than rushing round big-city sights.

Wallingford Museum and the quirky Wallingford Phone Box Museum are both a short drive away, with the Aston Martin Heritage Trust also within easy reach for anyone keen on classic cars. Wallingford Beach on the River Thames is close by too, rated Sufficient for water quality, so it's worth a look if you want a riverside stroll. Cholsey station is the nearest for those arriving by train, making this a handy, low-key spot for a couple wanting to explore the Oxfordshire countryside at an easy pace.
