Your trusted local Host
Meet Zara De Haldevang, your dedicated Burford & West Oxfordshire local Host.
What Zara’s Owners say about her: “Zara is incredibly thorough, approachable, and genuinely cares about creating a brilliant experience for both Owners and guests. Her attention to detail and thoughtful touches make a huge difference.”
Having grown up in West Oxfordshire from the age of four, Zara has a deep-rooted connection to the area and the community around it. Although family life took her between the Middle East, Kenya, and back to the UK over the years, the Cotswolds has always remained home, with generations of her family still based locally today.
A self-confessed tech enthusiast, Zara taught herself Airbnb and Booking.com during Covid and quickly developed a passion for creating memorable guest experiences. She believes the best holiday stays feel personal from start to finish, with thoughtful details, local recommendations, and genuine hospitality making all the difference. Zara is also passionate about supporting local businesses, regularly incorporating local hampers, concierge services, and trusted recommendations into the guest experience wherever possible.
"Just when you think you’ve discovered the best of West Oxfordshire, there’s always more to uncover. Even after 37 years of coming back here, it still feels like one of the UK’s hidden gems. I love helping Owners showcase that magic through unforgettable guest experiences."
Why guests love it here
Quintessential Cotswold escapes
From the rolling Cotswold countryside to the timeless charm of Burford’s historic high street, West Oxfordshire offers the kind of escape guests return to year after year.
Visitors are drawn to the area for its beautiful stone villages, countryside walks, independent boutiques, cosy pubs, and slower pace of life. Whether it’s long lunches in picturesque market towns, exploring nearby estates and gardens, or simply unwinding in the peace and quiet of the countryside, there’s a sense of calm here that’s hard to replicate elsewhere.
Its central location also makes it ideal for exploring the wider Cotswolds, with destinations such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Daylesford, and Blenheim Palace all within easy reach.
For many guests, it’s not just the scenery that makes West Oxfordshire special, it’s the feeling of discovering somewhere genuinely welcoming, characterful, and beautifully unspoilt.

"Very helpful"
“Very helpful, and got back to me immediately when had a question.”
"Best Airbnb stayed in"
“We could not fault this accommodation. The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was well equipped including a Nespresso machine, the WiFi was good, it was quiet, the bed was comfortable and the decor was modern. The car park pass relieved the stress which we had experienced when staying elsewhere in Dartmouth. The host responded to all my questions prior to arrival in a timely manner. There were even partial views across the River Dart to the steam train. Highly recommend.”
