Lovely cottage in ideal location
We instantly felt at home in this pretty cottage. It is extremely well equipped, very clean and in a perfect location. We enjoyed a super short break after Christmas visiting Oxford and a lovely walk straight out the door to the Rollright Stones. As it is an older property, it is a little colder upstairs but there are plenty of blankets- maybe pack an extra jumper in the winter.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous!
Beautiful place. It was spotless. The heating worked exceptionally well, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could think of and more. The bedrooms were a great size and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. The power shower was superb! We will happily stay here again. A fantastic example of how to present a holiday cottage!

The house is beautiful and well equipped . The village I of Churchill is beautiful.
The house is lovely and we’ll equipped. The open plan bathroom in the master bedroom was not to our liking and needs a stand alone shower. No privacy.
The wi-if was not too good and the water heater is attached to a Nest in the living room. We inadvertently unplugged it not realizing we would have no got water. The Nest should be placed somewhere else or have a notice attached to it not to unplug..
bathroom on the main floor needs a lock.
Lamp/socket in living room next to fireplace does not work. It’s not the bulbs.
Otherwise, it was a pleasurable stay had by all.

An excellent base
A great base for exploring the northern part of the Cotswolds. Property was clean and really well appointed. Loads of crockery, cutlery and kitchenware to use and a well stocked store cupboard that was massively helpful. The complimentary Easter egg was a lovely touch and very gratefully received by our toddler! There's a Sainsbury's at the end of the street and 10 min walk to an M&S Foodhall and an Aldi. The town itself has plenty of other shops and pubs but it's not a tourist trap. Outrageously good pastries and great coffees at the new MOR bakery at the other side of the town centre. All in all, there wasn't anything we could fault.
