Thank you for a lovely stay at your cottage. We were a group of old friends getting together for a weekend catch up, and the cottage provided everything we needed.

Lovely little quiet village location, was a great place for a catch up with friends, would happily go back. Cottage was well fitted out, hot tub was ready to go. Was a short drive or cab to Buckingham, or just over hour walk, so was easy to access restaurants.

Tiches Cottage is in the ideal location to visit several National Trust properties (Stowe, Waddesdon, Canons Ashby) and enjoy the surrounding countryside, all within a short distance. The cottage is dog friendly and has a lovely private large garden. The beds are so comfortable, and even though it was very hot when we stayed, this meant we all slepRead moret really well. The hot tub was a must after a long day exploring! Hide

This is a lovely, comfy cottage with everything we needed (and more) to have a relaxing stay. It was well presented and beautifully warm and cosy; the extra blankets etc were a very thoughtful touch. It was disappointing the local pub was closed and awaiting new owners. Overall, we had a very cosy and relaxing stay - thank you..

Stayed for the formula one weekend. Perfect base only being 15-20mins away. Lovely cottage with plenty of space. Added bonus was the hot tub and games room, which the kids loved. Was a shame we did not get to enjoy the cottage enough due to being out all weekend. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a pleasant stay
