    Instructions are slightly unclear about which outside areas you are allowed to use, no access to the patio area in the nice weather. We did also encounter one issue during our stay were the electricity cut out on the first morning, we contacted the owner as suggested however it did take a while to receive a reply which is not ideal when you want some breakfast!

    The property itself is very cosy if you are looking for a relaxed getaway. The location is beautiful and the accommodation has everything you would need for your stay

    There was no hot water on the day that we checked out.

    The property is beautiful and located in a lovely position behind the church. It is spacious and very clean. The hosts were very helpful with queries about the availability of an iron and adjusting the temperature.

    The past few visits a number of plates/bowls/cutlery/glasses have not been particularly clean and so I have had to wash them before using. But other than that, the property is always clean and tidy.

    This is my 4th time using this cottage and it is perfect for what I want and need. Great location, good, clean amenities and good value for money.

    Labeling on bins not very easy to see. Loo seat doesn't stay up. Loo is in a wet room, so floor is wet after someone has had a shower, so have to take socks off to spend a penny.

    Location, comfort, well equipped. Nice and warm.

    No access to the patio but we managed to make it work to let our dog out in the morning. Shower room had no blinds so could be an issue for some people.

    Love the coziness and the location. Bed was very comfortable as this was our baby moon so it was essential my wife could get a very comfortable sleep.

    Nothing! We had a lovely stay.

    Stayed here for a 2 night babymoon. We came from Yorkshire and visited Silverstone Museum, Bicester Village and then had a day sightseeing in Oxford. The location is perfect for getting into Oxford. We also ate at the Turnpike pub nearby which was lovely (great mocktails for me!) The area was lovely and quiet. The cottage was clean and had everything you needed. We loved the underfloor heating. Very comfortable bed and good shower. We didn’t want to stay in Oxford itself as we prefer the countryside feel, this cottage gave us exactly what we wanted.

    Unfortunately there was a small leak from the toilet at the end of our stay which occurred when my friend was using the shower - thankfully we figured out how to turn the water off to the toilet and as we were checking out that morning it didn’t cause us a great deal of inconvenience. Some of the crockery was a bit dirty and it would have been helpful to have a dish cloth to wipe down the surfaces during our stay rather than just the small sponge. Other than that - a fabulous place to stay and use as a base.

    Comfortably, cosy, quiet, good facilities, great location. It was nice to see the decorative improvements made to the property since my last visit including the revamp of the kitchen and bathroom.

    The sockets upstairs did not work, it was a very warm evening so the fans would have been helpful. A major incident happened close by so lots of police, helicopters etc so it was difficult to open the windows (unexpected) also please replace the hairdryer, it has no safety guard on the back so I caught my hair in the fan 😳

    The location is very pretty, the house itself is very maintained and beautifully decorated.

    Parking is slightly limited if you have a large SUV or two cars. But I can't class that as something I didn't like, more just something to be aware of when arriving.

    The location is amazing. A short walk to two village pubs and so close to many other attractions. The accommodation is stunning and so comfortable. A true escape fitted with everything you need to relax, cook, or on occasion actually work if you really have to.

    Lack of fresh milk, bread or butter essentially made the eggs redundant. I took them home to enjoy instead :D

    Great location, peaceful and scenic. A short drive to park and ride for Oxford. Lovely property, clean and warm. Nice and modern interior. Key box entry a plus. Eggs from the farm chickens in the kitchen.
