Sustainable renewable energy heating and hot water systems have been installed.

The hosts live next door and work on the farm and in a separate converted barn making soft furnishings. They will be happy to answer questions and give helpful information where needed.
Cattle and Sheep live in the surrounding area and farm work is undertaken. The property has thick walls and double glazing, noise has never been an issue with guests.
Chilton Grounds Farm is a business sympathetic to nature and wildlife. It is teaming with bird, animal and invertebrate species, many encouraged with special habitats or nest boxes.

We loved our time at Cutter's Barn!
We spent around ten days here in late January, and yes, it was chilly and rainy (but nothing like Boston's cold!), but still the countryside was beautiful, the air was fresh and clean, and our visit was peaceful despite the stress of the times.My filmmaker son and his husband had a visit planned to NFTS in Beaconsfield--the drive was easy, and the train ride was even easier! We took day trips to Oxford, Stonehenge, Bletchley Park, the Battle of Britain Bunker museum in Uxbridge, St Albans, and the guys took the train into Marylebone station in London for a day, too. I'm strictly gluten free, so we made use of the Barn's terrific kitchen every day. The grocery store (Waitrose) in Thame was great. Thame is charming and delightful! My comments to other Americans who might be considering a stay here: English "king" beds are the equivalent of an American Queen, so heads up about that! Also, the Barn has a washing machine, but no mechanical dryer--only something called an "airer" which is a very small heated rack that takes many hours to dry a single (crunchy) towel! We are spoiled in America, I know, so my advice would be pack enough so that you don't have to do laundry!The farm dogs were great! We really enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat! Huge thanks to hosts Duncan and Diana for making this trip comfortable and serene.

Fall at Cutters Barn
If you read the reviews they are consistently great for good reason. Duncan and Diane are kind welcoming people who want the guest(s) to enjoy their stay. Everything was very clean and we had plenty of room for our family of four + mother in law. If you are looking for a week or so to tour central and western England but avoid the big city, Cutters Barn is a great choice.

A gorgeous property for a stay with friends
We had a fantastic long weekend as a group of four female friends in this fabulous farm property. It was so warm and cosy and the beds super comfy, with beautiful bedding and furnishings. It was a great location to visit Waddesdon Manor, decorated for Christmas. We also had a great Sunday roast at the nearby Mole and Chicken. Thanks for a lovely stay x

Beautiful barn in an amazing farm
Diana and Duncan are excellent hosts, they are very warm and friendly. That's not to mention the animals! Sheep, Chickens, Phil the cat and the two dogs: Kess and Lana. We played with and loved them all. The children were always keen to get back to the farm after a day out to play with the dogs. During our one week stay my daughter got over her dog phobia! That alone was worth staying at Cutter's barn. Lots of things to do in the local area. We went to The Chilterns, Cotswolds, Marlow, Henley, Bicester shopping village and Oxford. This was one of the best self catering we've ever stayed at, lovely spacious rooms and all very clean. We'd definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Duncan

Host profile image
Duncan is the third generation of his family to farm Chilton Grounds Farm. Partner Diana and son Charlie make up the host family.
A herd of beef cows that suckle their calves for 8-9 months each year and a flock of breeding sheep graze the 150 acres of pasture but wild bird and animal life, and their habitats, are regarded with equal importance to the whole family. A handful of free-range Chickens love roaming far and wide, there are two lovely dogs called Saker and Lanner and a cat called Phil.
I am passionate about wildlife and the animals on my farm
Love sport especially Rugby
Like positive people and attitudes

Why they chose this property

Cutter's barn is named after Duncan's grandfather who's nickname was 'Cutter' because he would cut (castrate) horses for people in the surrounding area. He purchased Chilton Grounds Farm in 1926 after growing up and farming locally.
In 2010 a major refurbishment was started and from an old cowshed and feed store it was transformed into a comfortable residential barn conversion with a sustainable renewable energy heating and hot water system.

What makes this property unique

You will be staying in a beautiful rural setting but you are minutes away from transport links that will take you to the most vibrant parts of England.
