  • Adults-only rural Oxfordshire site five minutes' drive from Deddington
  • Blenheim Palace 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • Farm walks and firepits available; dogs and horses welcome
No children, but plenty of wildlife – and a field of horses as your nearest neighbours… It’s all a very relaxed and peaceful experience at adults-only Francis Fields, in rural Oxfordshire about five minutes’ drive from the market town of Deddington. This is a lovely place to relax and unwind, perhaps taking a stroll around the farm to meet the horses and ponies (ask on site if you’d like a proper introduction), finding a spot for a picnic or just chilling out in a deckchair with a drink of your choice and soaking up the uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. It’s not just the human guests that appreciate this location – other visitors often include foxes, badgers, deer, owls and birds of prey, all of which you might catch sight of if you tread carefully or sit quietly enough. As an adults-only site children are not allowed to stay here, but travelling horses and dogs are welcome. The local pub, 10 minutes’ walk away, is also a dog-friendly place – and with tasty food and a good range of beers into the bargain. More shops and pubs are up in Deddington, along with a monthly farmers’ market. Back on site, you’ll be staying on a gently sloping field where pitches are mown into the wild grass. Solar lighting illuminates each pitch, the access track and the toilet and shower areas, and there are firepits to hire for a nice warm alfresco evening.

What customers say

Lovely adults-only site. Peaceful, great views, spotless facilities. Spacious, private pitches, brilliant for dogs with fenced options. Friendly staff. Minor Wi-Fi/shower light niggles don't detract from overwhelmingly positive feedback. Many want to return.

Christina S.

Oak Field non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The best campsite we have stayed at to date. Idyllic. A perfect place to relax and switch off. Lovely, sizeable maintained pitches with long grass in between which made us feel like we had the place to ourselves. The picnic bench on the pitch was nice touch. Toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. Tam and her daughter clearly take pride in the site and consider the little details.

Hawthorn Field non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Location, large pitch space and separation, pup tent allowed.
Super clean loos and shower. Piping hot water in wash up area and showers.
The site is looked after and thoughtfully run.

Disliked Not the fault of Francis Fields, but noise from machinery / generators of some kind till quite late at night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and the facilities. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Due to our rural location, there is sometimes noise from normal farming activity especially during the current harvest season.

Karen M.

Fenced non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Spacious fenced pitch and very secure for the dog. Quiet and beautiful surroundings. Toilets were absolutely spotless. Very good Wi-Fi - better than most hotels we’ve stayed in! Clear instructions and map of site given in advance.

Disliked Nothing - would definitely book again. We liked the walk to the toilet and wash areas but it could be a bit of a trek if you were less mobile.

Fenced non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything, this is a really lovely small site. The pitches are a good space apart so you aren’t on top of each other, the facilities are good and spotlessly clean. The enclosed dog pitches are both large and far apart from each other, to reduce doggy neighbours barking at each other.

Disliked Nothing!

Local attractions

Staying at Francis Fields, you’ll be just on the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape, putting you within easy reach of lots of gorgeous walking and cycling routes (and a good number of country pubs to stop at…) Some favourite options nearby include walks around the Rollright Stones, or a grander tour of Broughton Castle (both 20 minutes’ drive). Even grander are the lavish stately home and landscaped gardens (designed by Capability Brown, no less) at Blenheim Palace (15 minutes). If your current togs aren’t up to scratch for such things, hit the outlet stores at Bicester Village (20 minutes). The Cotswolds Distillery (25 minutes) is another good place to shop, with a café and distillery tours on offer too. Other days out nearby might take you into Oxford (half an hour) to tour the colleges and museums or try your hand at the art of punting, or to the high-speed action at the Silverstone circuit (35 minutes).
