At Shire Stays, our journey began with a shared vision: to create affordable and sustainable short-term rentals that bring a touch of home to Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire. Founded by Frank and Gemma, we realised that many landlords were struggling to maintain their properties while travellers sought unique, inviting spaces that reflected the local culture. Inspired by the idea of transforming neglected properties into welcoming accommodations, we set out to make a difference. Renovating these homes could support struggling landlords and also restore the character and charm of our communities. Each property we manage tells a story, full of furniture and decor sourced from local charity shops and markets, ensuring that every stay is not just comfortable but also rich in personality. Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that responsible tourism can have a positive impact, which is why we strive to give back to our local communities. Our guests not only enjoy a home away from home, but they also contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the area.

Welcome to our newly renovated 1st-floor apartment with a private kitchen, fully equipped for more extended stays, and a private bathroom with a great shower. The flat has offroad parking, access to a large shared garden with a seating area, and nearby walks and parks. We prioritize reuse and recycling whenever possible and encourage guests to do likewise. Located just 150m from shops, Chinese takeaway, pubs, chip shops, supermarkets, and chemists. Comfort, sustainability and convenience.
