Our romantic safari tent for two makes for the perfect couples getaway. Complete with rambling view of the Oxfordshire countryside, hot tub, and total tranquility.

From the Founder

A few words from Rachel, the founder of Chilterns Retreat Ltd

I’m Rachel, and I’ve spent my whole life on farms and surrounded by nature, with the last 20 years of those having been here at Ewelme Down Farm. Despite this, I love life’s little luxuries; a bottle of bubbly, a soak in the hot tub, and a cosy fireplace are some of my favourite things.

I wanted to create somewhere that was comfy, cosy and relaxing, but still embraced the beauty of being immersed in the glorious English countryside – and so The Chilterns View was born.

With each lodge set in its own secluded spot offering uninterrupted views of the majestic Chiltern Hills, I hope that my guests will fall in love with the landscape as much as I did.
