  • The most beautiful house we have ever stayed in!

    "We stayed for 4 days in August and we were blown away by the house and garden. Everything was top quality and well maintained, the welcome pack was very generous and Jo was very helpful. We couldn’t recommend this property highly enough!"

  • Perfect rental for a family wedding

    "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."

  • Spacious & Luxurious

    “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…every room is beautifully furnished and equally spacious and luxurious. It was hard to choose a bedroom.”

  • Gorgeous home for a large group

    "This was our 2nd stay at Merchant House and we thoroughly enjoyed it both times. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large, decorated beautifully and in keeping with the Cotswolds vibe, the garden is gorgeous and private, and the setting within the quaint village of Charlbury is perfect for day trips with kids. The Bull pub next door is an added bonus with a wonderful garden and good quality restaurant. The owners were very helpful with any questions and put together a very useful house guide."
