It's open all year and provides self-catering accommodation for up to 4 people in two bedrooms (a double and a twin). We hold a 4-star rating with the AA and we are assessed every year.
The cottage is arranged over two floors: upstairs you will find two double bedrooms (a double and a twin) and on ground floor there are a lovely sitting room, a spacious kitchen/diner and the bathroom.

One for Vicar of Dibley fans!
We had a lovely relaxing "Vicar of Dibley" weekend taking in the sights of the village and watching the entire boxset of the tv series... the cottage had everything we needed for a home away from home stay.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Plenty of crockery and utensils. Twin beds were very comfortable.the double bed is quite a hard mattress. We loved our stay. I would say that the cottage would benefit from a little TLC, for example the shelf above the sink and the area where the tray is look untidy and a bit dirty. But we had a great stay and I would certainly stay there again.

Tucked away country bliss
Wonderful, simply wonderful. Quintessentially English village located in beatiful rural area, yet close enough to everything. Kate (the owner) was so welcoming and the cottage has everything you could wish for. We visited Oxford, London, Henley on Thames, Reading and Basingstoke and still had time to enjoy the cottage and its surroundings. Would love to come again to visit. And would definitely recommend.

Beautiful village - lots of good walks and located to be handy for Henley, Marlow, Wycombe, Wallingford, etc.. The little lane past the front of the cottage can be busy with walkers, cyclists, horse riders and at school times, but otherwise a lovely, peaceful little bolt hole. We would definitely return.

Excellent location, basic accommodation
We enjoyed walking, a visit to London and local National Trust locations. Found the heating controls confusing, had to use a lot of logs as it was cold for the time of year. Kitchen equipment a bit basic for 4 star rating.

Great getaway
A great location in a beautiful village with lovely walks nearby. The cottage itself is very small, but quaint and well equipped. We found the bed was too hard.

Happy five nights in Turville village.
The cottage was fine. Just a pity that the garden is so far from the house. The description did warn, but it was a pity. Walls are paper thin to next door neighbours (could hear them snoring!) but the area is beautiful and with a garden at the back door, it would have been wonderful. Still, was pretty good, with friendly, helpful neighbours, excellent bedding/ towels and a brilliant butter dish! Wood burning stove worked well and kitchen is well equipped (although fridge needed mopping out as had been left too low temp.)

A cottage for Garsington Opera
The cottage is charming, clean and well equipped. It is situated in a truly lovely little Chiltern Village. We were there for a visit to the nearby Garsington Opera Festival, so it was only a short stay. Particularly to be recommended is the local pub with wonderful pies.

Beautiful location, lovely cottage
All very nice, our second time. Well equipped kitchen and plentiful hot water for the bath, which is always nice. Enjoyed the log burner after trial and error. I found the bed in the main bedroom a bit hard but I am 'getting on' so it is probably just me. Another strange thing. I couldn't find the router, which I was going to plug into so that I could do some work while there. I had the same problem last time but had forgotten, a mystery. Anyway, it was, in a way, nice to have an excuse not to work! We felt at home. The place was immacutely clean. All very lovely.
