    The house was delightful and the cava in the fridge was a lovely surprise. The stairs to the loft bedroom were cleverly designed to fit the space but were very steep so needed great care. It gave us a lovely base to visit family and Oxford

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, Midsomer Cottage is a charming and comfortable end of terrace Victorian cottage, situated in the delightful riverside village of Iffley. With easy access to the city centre & ring road, the cottage is an excellent base for exploring Oxford and the surrounding area. An entrance hall leads to a spacious, light and airy living room with desk area and downstairs WC. A step then leads down to the kitchen and dining area. Facilities include a washing machine , dishwasher, fridge freezer & gas stove. The kitchen spills out onto a terrace with open views, bbq, table, chairs & an umbrella. Continue on to a graveled garden. The first floor has 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom sits at the front of the house and has an en-suite bathroom with enclosed shower. A super king bed with comfortable bedding has the option to be split into two single beds upon request. The second bedroom is a double & has views onto the gardens. The family bathroom has a large bath & overhead shower. A quirky paddle staircase leads up to the charming top bedroom which has 2 single beds & great views of the surrounding area Places of interest nearby: - Oxford Botanic Garden (1.6 miles) - Christchurch College / Harry Potter tours (2.3 miles) - Pitt Rivers Museum (2.5 miles) - Bodleian Library (2.7 miles) -The Covered Market (2.9 miles) - Oxford Castle & Prison (3 miles) - Westgate shopping centre (3 miles) -Ashmolean Museum (3.3 miles) -Punting from Chewell boathouse (3.6 miles) - Harcourt Arboretum (4.4 miles) - Oxford Brookes University, Headington campus (2.2 miles) -Oxford Brookes University, Marston Road site (2.6 miles) -Oxford Brookes University, Harcourt Hill Campus (6.4 miles) -Oxford Brookes University, Wheatley Campus (8.1 miles) - Churchill Hospital (2.8 miles) - JR Hospital (3 miles) - Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (3.9 miles) -Blenheim Palace/ Woodstock – very pretty Cotwolds village full of historic buildings, pubs and cafes (13 miles) -Bicester
I have worked in the holiday let/short let industry in Oxford & the Cotswolds for the past decade and enjoy hosting guests through AirBnB and meeting visitors from all over the world. I help to manage four properties in the Cotswolds and Oxfordshire alongside the owners and I am on hand for guests when needed but will also respect your privacy during a stay with us. I was born and raised in the local area so will happily provide recommendations when required, please feel free to reach out to me with any special requests .
The neighborhood is peaceful, rural, stunningly beautiful, with a variety of interesting architecture seeped in history. What is special about Iffley is that it is on the river, within the ring road, close to the city, and with easy access but removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. There is a regular bus route into the city, with a stop only five minutes walk from the cottage. There are connections to the station and to London. Parking is easy on street parking.
