Lovely little cottage , we found it easily. Clean and tidy , had all we needed with the exception of a tea towel but I’m sure if we’d asked that would have been fourth coming. Plenty of logs etc for the fire, which we made the most of just because we don’t have one in our flat. Heating is perfectly adequate. Comfortable bed, plenty of storage if staying longer. Bus stop 2 minutes away to get into Oxford which we used everyday. Lovely bakery, coffee shop and co-op in village. Over all a peaceful and enjoyable weekend.
