Exclusive look at £24m Cotswolds holiday resort opening in 2027

It was announced last month that design-led eco cabin resort brand CABÜ would develop a new destination in the iconic strip of UK countryside.

CABÜ in the Cotswolds is a luxury cabin retreat scheduled to open next year on a 25-acre woodland space in Langley, near Witney.

This site was originally built as a radio transmission station and was then redeveloped in the late 1980s, used by British Telecom as a residential training centre for 15 years.

From 1993, the renamed Leafield Technical Centre was expanded into a specialist motorsport facility, but it has stood abandoned since 2014 when the Caterham team went into administration.

Planning permission for the CABÜ’s Cotswolds project was approved by West Oxfordshire District Council back in November 2023.

Last month, the brand said that construction is “well underway”, with the resort firmly on track for its planned 2027 opening.

Now, new drone photographs show the West Oxfordshire site being transformed in preparation for its 2027 opening date.

Diggers can be seen in the shots, which also show the land cleared, ready for the foundations to be set in.

Some buildings are already there, but it is expected these will be joined by the new cabins and other facilities over the coming months.

The resort will feature 51 self-catered eco-cabins ranging from one to three bedrooms.

Bosses say each cabin will showcase “beautifully considered interiors, combining contemporary finishes, natural materials and warm, inviting living spaces that complement the surrounding setting”.

In keeping with CABÜ’s ethos of mindful, low-impact tourism, the resort will offer a variety of facilities focused on relaxation and connection with nature.

These include an indoor swimming pool as well as a natural swimming pond.

Elsewhere, there will be a nature spa with saunas, hot tubs and plunge buckets as well as an on-site shop, two bars and an events studio.

CABÜ House, a central social hub with reception, lounge and dining spaces, will also be available alongside “low-adrenaline” experiences such as woodland walks, yoga sessions and digital-detox retreats.

The brand’s founders, JP Ledwidge and Olivia Hutchinson, said in a statement: “CABÜ in the Cotswolds reflects our belief that modern hospitality should be both design-forward and environmentally responsible.

“Today’s travellers are seeking more than just a place to stay — they want immersive experiences that support wellbeing, foster connection, and allow them to slow down.

“This new resort has been designed with exactly that in mind.”

It has been announced this week that bookings are expected to open in late 2026, with year-round stays available.

The company already runs two popular resorts, CABÜ by the Sea on Romney Marsh, Kent, and CABÜ by the Lakes in County Cavan, Ireland.
