A little further afield is the university city of Oxford, with all its historic buildings, architecture and museums.

Step back in time, entering from the pretty courtyard into the beautifully presented lounge of this traditional honey coloured stone cottage, with contemporary seating and soft furnishings that  further enhance the character. Relax with the Smart TV and Netflix for a cosy night in, after supper in the dining area just off the lounge.

A cosy cottage, convenient for many attractions. We found The Elephant & Castle pub next door very handy and did not experience any noise from it. There are also two other pubs within a 5 minute walk and we enjoyed an evening meal at both. The complimentary brewery tour at Hook Norton was a welcome addition.

The cottage was well stocked with everything you need & so nice & cosy, at this time of year.! It was very clean, & dust free. The location is very good, close to towns but also accessible to the countryside.
