  • Light and airy holiday cottage with plenty of outside space for all the family
  • Quiet rural location yet conveniently close to Oxford
  • Relax in the large open garden and enjoy watching the visiting wildlife
Property code: CC063

On the outskirts of Oxford, there’s so much to see and do in the area that you’re in a prime position to discover as much as possible during your holiday. Walk the streets of the university city to uncover multiple museums and a seemingly endless supply of shops and pubs, or go for a punt down the river to admire the scenery from the water. There is an abundance of public transport for you to venture out and explore other nearby towns and attractions; the home of Shakespeare, Stratford-Upon-Avon, is within easy reach of the city, or head to the Cotswold Wildlife Park near Burford for a fun day out for the whole family.

Set across a single storey, this homely property was once just a workshop, but was transformed in 2013 into a superb holiday cottage that is now perfect for a family trip. Unwind as you enter the shabby-chic designed accommodation, into the living space: an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Take a seat on the comfortable soft furnishings and watch something on the TV/DVD, or pull up a chair at the dining table to seat four ready to enjoy a home-cooked meal. The kitchen is well-equipped for your break, comprising of an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge with ice box,and washing machine. There is one bedroom with a king-size bed, the room decorated to create a tranquil retreat for the end of your day, and another with an adult-size bunk bed with a pull out bed located under bottom bunk if required. The shower room has a shower cubicle and WC.

There is plenty of space outside for children to run around (although please be aware there is a stream along the border), and a treehouse that they’re sure to love. The large decking area to the front of the property is ideal for BBQs or to simply enjoy the rural setting, and should you require extra sleeping arrangements, there is room for a few small tents on the large lawn.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 bunk plus a pull out bed if required
  • 1 shower room
  • Electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge with ice box and washing machine
  • Treehouse outside for kids
  • Electric and oil fired electric radiators included
  • Ample parking available
  • Wi-Fi available
  • Large unenclosed garden
  • 1 mile to all amenities
  • Please note that a stream borders the garden
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 1 dog allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £200 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £25. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

I understand some of the comments on the state of the property. But it was a lovely stay for us and our loud and active kids. We don't need something high end, just something afforable to stay. It does need some TLC and for me some of the chairs were a bit unsafe, is something that can be easily fixed.

Cottage was in beautiful setting and was very peaceful. The grounds were great for wildlife and the children to play. Everything you would need was there. It was very comfortable and cosy. A few bits of maintenance needing done but on the whole a pleasant stay.

Unfortunately the images shown on the website must be very old as the entire property is very tired and unkept. The shower room has had serious issues in the past from a leaky shower and has masses of sealant on the bottom but the long term damage caused by the issue is still present, leading to a terrible gruby room.

The property was built 10 years ago and I suspect little maintenance has been carried out in that time. There is wear and tear around the property.

Good location for visiting Oxford, Redbridge park and ride about 2 miles away, however, property is tired and neglected and, although set in a super garden, when sitting outside, the noise from the A34 is extremely audible and constant. You will have to decide yourself about value for money
