Beautiful cottage

We had a marvellous short stay at Blenheim cottage. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented with a very good range of crockery, pots and pans. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us and our two dogs.

Beautiful cottage, very clean and well maintained. Great location for exploring

Beautiful cottage, very clean and well maintained. The steps in the garden are very steep so you’ll need to take care. The cottage is in a great location for exploring and the village has a variety of eateries and delicious take aways to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

Excellent cottage for a weekend away

The location is amazing for a weekend trip to Woodstock and Blenheim. The cottage itself is well kept and in perfect condition, with enough space for 4 people. The property manager was flexible with our check-in and check-out times and always replied straight away with any questions we had.

Nice, comfortable cottage with good location

We enjoyed our stay there very much. We arrived in late November and were delighted to see Christmas decorations in every room. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Our host was very responsive and eager to please. We would definitely stay there again if going back to Woodstock.

Beautiful cottage

The cottage is located on a quiet street 5 minute walk to the town centre.3 minute walk to the entrance to Blenheim Palace grounds. The cottage is beautifully decorated and as we stayed in November we lit the log burner each night. Very well equipped kitchen. Bathroom great size with roll top bath and a massive shower. Stairs as you would expect in a small cottage are steep not for the faint hearted. Floors upstairs are sloping which was fun and caused us a laugh or 2. Highly recommend Blenheim cottage.

Great Location

4 adults stayed for a weekend. Location perfect, no problem with parking. Cottage clean and tidy but a bit too small for 4 adults downstairs, 4 of us couldn't sit at the table in the kitchen and another chair in lounge would be useful although difficult to see where that would go. Could do with a bit of TLC in kitchen. Stairs and head height of doorways need care. Overall a good weekend stay but too small for a week for 4 adults.

A little Gem of a cottage

We had a great stay over three weeks Mon-Fri, whilst training in the area. It was a fantastic base for us to reach nearby Kidlington. The cottage was very comfortable indeed, we found it lovely and cosy. Kirsty was excellent in communicating with us and we really enjoyed the welcome packs she provided. An unexpected thing was the record turntable and vinyls available to play, which we thought was great, so do remember your favourite albums in your packing. Our only regret was we didn't get to use the stove in the lounge, it just wasn't cold enough!!! Thank you Kirsty & Jack for such a great place to stay in the a great town that Woodstock is.

Perfect location for Blenheim Palace

A cosy cotswolds cottage with lots of charm. Perfect location for exploring both Oxford and the Cotswolds and right on Blenhiem palace doorstep. Plenty of places to eat on evenings or great little kitchen for cooking a meal in the cottage. Only concern was that the staircase is very steep and uneven so would recommend only for families with older children and older persons to be very careful.

We had a relaxing few days staying at Blenheim Cottage. Very well equipped, log burner, fantastic bath & shower ! Great location, able to walk into Woodstock & eat at a variety of restaurants & pubs. Within walking distance to Blenheim Palace and gardens. Be careful with the steep stairs, it is an old cottage with gives it's lovely cosy feel. I would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Kirsty for your excellent communication

Lovely cottage, excellent location for Woodstock and Blenheim palace

Lovely cosy cottage as described on your website. Sitting room only has seating for 3 adults but obviously sleeps 4 quite adequately. Parking is a problem in as much as restrictions are in place so have to park around 8 minutes walk away in popular car parking space. Overall though a lovely holiday stay and would recommend to friends and family.

Blenheim cottage

The cottage was very compact We had issues with the stairs as they are very steep and narrow. Parking our car was an issue given the need to park some distance from the cottage particularly if you wanted to avoid getting a ticket which unfortunately we did. Some of the crockery needed replacing due to being chipped. The bathroom was lovely and the cottage warm. The beds were very comfortable. The garden was too high up so we didn’t get to use that space. Woodstock is beautiful and the walks around Blenheim are easy to access from the cottage.

Cosy cottage

A small cosy quirky cottage in an ideal location. Few minutes walk to Blenheim Palace and it's free estate walks and Woodstock town centre. Lots of excellent pubs, eateries and interesting shops. Ideal place to spend Christmas week. Parking restriction made things a little difficult but easily found recommended parking 5 mins up the same road and did not need to use car every day as happy to stay, explore and enjoy locally most of the time. Many thanks to Kirsty who could not have been more helpful.
