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 spacious, newly renovated first-floor apartment. With an open plan layout, private kitchen, and bathroom, it offers a comfortable stay for 3 with an additional pullout bed to accommodate 4 if required. We are committed to sustainability & reuse & recycle whenever possible. Enjoy access to a large shared back garden with a seating area and BBQ. Conveniently located in a quiet area just 150m from a pub, chip shop, supermarket, and chemist. Comfort, sustainability, and convenience. The apartment is spacious and open-plan. The kitchen was fitted in June 2022 and is kitted out fully for longer stays. The bedroom area has a kingsized bed, a single day-bed and a pullout bed for a 4th guest if needed.
