Two families from US recently rented this stunning home. More than enough room for four adults and two kids (age 9) plus room to spare. No detail overlooked and the garden was stunning. We loved the location for its convenience to Oxford and other nearby Cotswolds sights. Five minutes (or even less) walk to two amazing pubs. No designated parking, but super easy to find nearby street parking. Kitchen and bathrooms all well-stocked with quality products and amenities. Not a detail overlooked!

We had two families staying at Merchant House and it worked perfectly for us! The house was immaculately clean and tidy, I loved the decor and it was a very comfortable stay. The garden was a joy - beautifully maintained and planted so the whole experience was a delight. I'd definitely book Merchant House again for a special occasion.

Stunning property, everything you need, extremely comfortable. It is massive, two lounges, a dining room we didn't even use, fabulous log burner and BBQ. If it was me, I'd add a jacuzzi - I know its expensive and a hassle to maintain but it would really sell the house.

Merchant House is an absolutely amazing house. We had family over and it catered for us perfectly! Jo was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend staying here!

Thoughtfully equipped and so stylishly decorated, the home provides fabulous space for a large gathering of family or friends. Location makes it a fabulous base to explore all the glorious Cotswolds has to offer. Charlbury has a well stocked supermarket and deli within moments walk - perfect for self catering - as well as The Bell and The Bull for excellent food. We loved it!

We stayed in Merchant House for 4 nights to celebrate my brother’s 40th birthday. I initially chose the property because of its location and it did not disappoint. With two amazing pub restaurants just a few steps away, local shops and a great park for toddlers it was like having the amenities of a hotel with all the comfort and space of a big house. This was ideal for our party as we have three young children and it’s not as easy to go out for dinner etc. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and we felt we very lucky to have the opportunity to stay there. Every room is beautifully furnished and equally spacious and luxurious. It was hard to choose a bedroom. The main communal areas offered ample living and dining spaces and again a very cosy feel. The decor was as good as some of the best 5 stars hotel. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone and have already done so. We are just disappointed we did not come in the summer so we could have also enjoyed dining in garden! It would suit all types of guests from families to a group of couples/friends looking to be close to amenities. Plus the welcome guide is the best I have seen for any property! It was so helpful for planning our stay along with Jo who responded instantly to any queries I had. Only wished we had stayed longer!

A couple of minor details need attention but in good condition. We would stay at thi9s location again in the future.

We were three families staying for two nights in early January. We had such a lovely time, the house looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics, really beautifully done, it felt homely and appropriate for families while also being stylish and special. Super clean as well and we had some lovely treats waiting for us on arrival too. There is plenty of living space to spread out into and the kitchen had everything we could need to self cater. The beds were really comfy and we all slept so well. There are lovely pubs nearby and we also checked out the local play areas for kids, and made good use for the log fire for cosy nights in. All in all would highly recommend (and we'd love to come back in the summer one time to enjoy the outside space!).
