Cedar Hollow at The Oaks

🥈 SILVER AWARD WINNER 🥈

We are absolutely delighted to share that Cedar Hollow Oxford has been awarded Silver in the Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year category at the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2026.

To be recognised on the national stage alongside some of England’s most exceptional tourism businesses is an incredible honour. With winners on the night including icons such as Bletchley Park and The Beatles Story , it felt surreal to be standing among such storied names.

What started as a dream to create a magical woodland retreat near Oxford has become something far bigger than we ever imagined.

Thank you to every guest who has stayed with us, every member of our team, our volunteers, our family, and everyone who has supported us along the way. This award belongs to all of you too.

And a special thank you to , who joined me on the journey and looked considerably more elegant in a top hat than I did.

Thank you so much to for nominating us to represent the South East, and to and for an awesome night!

We’re on our way to the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2026! 🏆✨

What started as a dream to create a magical woodland retreat near Oxford has somehow led us to the national tourism awards.

Tonight we’re representing the south east of England alongside some of the very best tourism businesses in England, and we’re incredibly grateful to every guest, supporter, volunteer and team member who has helped make this possible.

Whatever happens, we’re already proud to have come this far.

Wish us luck! 🤞🍀

Happy International Day of Forests 🌲

Tucked away among the trees are our woodland retreats: on the Jurassic Coast and near Oxford’s dreaming spires.

So where is your next forest escape: Dorset or Oxford?

Confession: International Day of Forests was actually on 21st March… oops. Happy belated International Day of Forests 🌲

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough 🌿

A century of helping us look more closely at the natural world, from the largest creatures on Earth to the smallest insects beneath our feet.

To mark the occasion, a newly discovered parasitic wasp has been named in his honour: Attenboroughnculus tau.

At Cedar Hollow’s Bee Museum, we have a whole section dedicated to parasitoid wasps and the hidden insect world that quietly shapes our ecosystems.

A perfect reminder that wonder often begins with the tiniest things. 🐝
