Quiet getaway
I needed to getaway to recharge my batteries and the cottage was lovely place to do so. My only issue was with the labeling of the key fobs - they all said the same thing and didn’t all have the same keys on so when going out I grabbed a fob and before you can even check to see if you have the right keys the door is locks behind you. It was quite a shock to find that the key did not open the door and was for the front door and not the back door. I was then charged fifty pounds for someone to come out. Label the key fobs accordingly and this type of issue would not come up. Apart from that it was a lovely stay. You do need a car because there is not even a village shop but there are some lovely walks and beautiful scenery. The bed was really comfortable. The peacocks are lovely - they are loud but that is to be expected - still lovely! There were 21 in and around the garden one day - it was lovely to sit outside and have a cuppa.

Nice clean property in a good location
Good facilities and a wood burner makes this a very cosy spot for a winter stay. Well located for the bus into Oxford and other walking routes to some nice local pubs. Nice to have friendly peacocks and peahens roaming the garden but they did make quite a mess on our car. It would have been useful to have known about this before the stay so that we could have brought suitable cleaning products.

A very well equipped and comfy cottage
A lovely cottage - very well equipped. Excellent log burner to keep us warm in the evenings. Excellent location for central Oxford with the X40 bus stopping just up the road. We left the car on the drive all our stay and just used the bus. Funny to look out of the back door and see so many peafowl in the back garden - very gentle birds, even bringing their peachicks to see us.
Would definately stay there again
