Pass the Keys® is a Property Management Company managing many listings on different platforms. Pass the Keys® provides a hotel standard of service for short-let properties. Each property is professionally maintained and cleaned. We guarantee professionally cleaned linens and toiletries. We also provide 24/7 guest support and local personal service before and during your stay. The local community-based team of Pass the Keys® personally inspects each home to certify they have met Pass the Keys®’s Property Readiness Standard. On behalf of our host at Pass the Keys we require guest verification, which is provided by Superhog. Upon confirming your booking, Superhog will reach out to the lead booker through a secure link, providing detailed instructions for verification. The online verification process requires a government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card. During this process, you may choose between a refundable GBP 500 deposit (plus GBP 10 transaction fee currency equivalent) or purchase a non-refundable damage waiver of GBP 40 (currency equivalent) to cover potential damages during your stay.

Spacious private annexe in a converted barn nestled in beautiful countryside near Hornton. Attached to a much-loved family home packed with space & light, featuring a generous living area perfect for relaxing, dining & working plus a large double bedroom, kitchen & bathroom. Comfortable & quiet retreat, ideal for work stays or rural breaks surrounded by country walks. 7 miles to Banbury/M40. Easy access to JLR, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford & Cotswolds. Long stay discounts available. Enter via your own private entrance next to the main house, tucked away with a charming courtyard covered in vines. Step inside and enter into the vast living area with comfy sofas and a Smart TV. There is a dining table that comfortably seats 4 along with a large office desk offering a separate dedicated workspace. As you walk through the hallway, a large feature bookcase invites you to browse through hundreds of books for you to enjoy during your stay. The large bedroom boasts a king-size bed, blackout curtains and plenty of storage with a double wardrobe and chest of drawers. The living room provides extra sleeping space for up to 2 additional guests, with the futon easily converting into a double bed. The fully functional kitchen features an electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and washing machine with a large clothes drying rack suspended from the ceiling. The bathroom has a bath with overhead shower for convenience. There are wall-to-wall windows throughout allowing natural light to flood in. Outside there's a private terrace with seating enjoying stunning views into the garden and the countryside beyond, plus a fully enclosed private lawned area beside the annexe, perfect for exercising your furry friends. Private parking is available for one car (or 2 with prior arrangement), just a short walk around a well-lit gravel path to the annexe.

Additionally, a travel cot and high chair are available for an extra cost, ensuring a stress-free stay for younger families. Guests have full use of the annexe and private outdoor space from the metal entrance gate up to the fence beside the annexe (I will require very occasional access when walking my dogs). There is a wooden gate to access the annexe terrace area which is totally private and for guest use only. The annexe overlooks part of my private garden which I rarely use. My gardener may be around tending to the beds on Friday mornings during warmer months. However, I will always respect guests' privacy when you are staying here. Please kindly respect that my property is attached to yours and keep the noise to a minimum. Please only use indoor shoes inside as there are carpets throughout and Horton stone stains easily. If you require use of the sofa bed, please let us know at the time of booking to ensure the extra bedding & towels are available. A friendly border terrier and Labrador/Golden Retriever live on-site and might say hello but are not allowed into the annexe or your private outdoor space. Please be advised, one is a breeding dog so no unneutered male dogs allowed. The outside area from the metal entrance gate to the annexe is for your own private use and is fully enclosed for your furry friends. There is a little-used public footpath at the back of your garden, so occasionally people and dogs may walk through. Please kindly respect others' privacy on the property and do not venture beyond the fenced areas. The village of Hornton has a traditional country pub serving food, about a 20 minute walk away. The property is conveniently located 10-15 minutes from junction 11 of the M40 near Banbury. Nearby is Upton House, a stunning National Trust stately home is less than 3 miles away and Broughton Castle (ancestral home of the Fiennes family) is 5.5 miles away. Blenheim Palace and historic Stratford-upon-Avon are 20 miles away.
