    We loved it all

    Lovely glamping site. The owners have really thought of everything. Lovely comfortable bed & so cosy & pretty. There was a communal area with fridges/ microwave/ kettles/ washing up areas/ recycling. Communal sitting areas ( outdoor but some undercover. Firestarter/ kindle & plenty of logs provided for the firepit outside each tent complete with seating area. Spare blankets etc available if required. Lovely clean shower block & loos with plenty of hot water

    The main road did get a little noisy and sometimes planes would fly low over the site

    Lovely location. Small site so quite quiet. Love a firepit. Little touches like decor in the washing up area and bathroom. Kitchen had excellent facilities

    There wasn't anything that we didn't like.

    We were very impressed with the glamping site. The location and surroundings were beautiful. The tent was a great size had was very cosy (2 adults + 1 child). The site was very spacious and peaceful. We had a lovely time using the firepit in the evening. There were more facilities there than we realised such as shared fridges and cookers which was very helpful. There was lots of things to do in surrounding areas. This included going to Jeremey Clarkson's Farm (was around 30 minute drive away). We will definitely come back again!

    Everything you need for your stay is provided. The tent was clean and well cared for. Facilities and setting were great. loved being able to sit by the fire outside the tent in our own space and not feel overlooked despite other tents being close by.

    The kitchen equipment ( pans) could have been stain and steel which is more hygienic to multiple uses. The men’s toilet could have been cleaner.

    The tent was clean and comfortable. The location peaceful and in a strategic location to reach Oxford and Bicester.

    We liked everything at the property, but a suggestion- Signage at the main entrance off the road will help as we drove by the property twice .

    Only 20 min drive into Oxford on a direct bus right opposite the property. Beautifully maintained lawns and trees The tents were of superior quality and spacious with all essential amenities . Efficient heater and lots of blankets to keep us warm The kitchen and washing up area had items well labelled and accessible . Good separation of waste . Close proximity to the Thames river . We will definitely stay again here 👍🏼👍🏼

    This is probably more of a personal preference but the mattress on the bed was far too soft and I woke up with a sore back as a result. At breakfast time it was raining but there were only 2 covered picnic areas to eat which were both taken up, so we had to take our food back to our tent which didn’t have an area to eat as a family so we had to sit on the bed / floor. Given the great British weather it would have been nice to have more covered areas to eat, perhaps one per tent.

    Exactly like the pictures. The tents are beautifully set up and spaced so that you have maximum privacy from others. Great site layout and convenient access to all facilities. The tents and kitchen are equipped with everything you would need for your stay and it was a nice touch to have extra blankets, hot water bottles and enough kindling / wood and coal to have 1 fire and 1 BBQ.

    Absolutely loved this place!!! The tent was warm and comfortable. Lovely little fairy lights and very romantic. Tents were well spaced out and each had outdoor seating, firepit/bbq. Site is next to a wildflower meadow and the river Thames. It is lovely and quiet. Within the tent there are utensils, plates, cups etc. Each tent has its own fridge/freezer in the shared, outdoor kitchen which was very useful. The toilets and showers were nice and clean. The location is wonderful. We did the walk that the owners have helpfully provided a map for on their website. It was a brilliant walk! Along the Thames River path and then back through Wytham Woods (via the Trout pub!). Would love to return soon :)

    The whole experience was faultless and it was the extra little touches that made it so perfect - having kitchen facilities, a plug point, the toilet & shower block like a spa feel!! made to feel our stay was as if the owners were camping themselves and wanted 100%!
