About this house rental

Welcome to Sandhurst House. 2024 will be our sixth season. We're delighted our former guests have really enjoyed their stays with us.

It's the perfect base as you explore the quintessentially English countryside that surrounds the house.

We would like to invite you to come and stay with us.

The house is just 5 miles outside Henley on Thames, six miles to Wallingford, 20 miles to Oxford, 10 miles to Reading and only 40 miles to London.

About Sandhurst House:
A spacious detached home set in the heart of the historic village of Nettlebed in between Henley on Thames and Wallingford.

Brand new, it comfortably sleeps 8 people, has space for entertaining and relaxing outside when the sun shines; inside it's cozy and warm for a winters night.

Our guests tell us that they love the space, the peace and quiet and how relaxed and at home they feel. A perfect escape from town, whilst still having lots to explore and do nearby; and only an hour outside London.

Set in the heart of the village in the stunning Chilterns AONB.

The House:
Sandhurst House is a spacious and comfortable house that's bright and spacious.

The kitchen is fully equipped, is fully appointed and has an American fridge . The dining table comfortably seats 8 and has a lovely view of the garden through the bi fold doors.

The sitting room has a vaulted ceiling and lots of light with comfortable sofas and large smart TV. There is Vodafone Wi-Fi, Amazon Prime and Netflix.

There are 4 bedrooms. The master and bedroom two have king size beds, bedroom 3 and 4 have double beds.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom with rain shower. On the ground floor is a separate shower room.

The garden is laid to lawn with a large patio area. There's an electric BBQ for outdoor cooking.

There's parking for two cars on the driveway at the front of the house and no road parking restrictions.

Welcome Pack:
To help you settle in there is tea, coffee, milk, bottle of prosecco and some beer in the fridge. The kitchen is equipped with condiments and olive oil.

As your host, I have lived in the area for over 25 years and have a pretty good local knowledge. It’ll be a pleasure to share that with you as you plan your stay.

Look forward to meeting you.

Suited our family get together of 7(4 generations age 2 to 88). Plenty of bathrooms made mornings run smoothly and plenty of space and seats etc for eating and relaxing. Large fridge freezer if you had a food delivery and a lovely welcome package, thank you. We were attending a local wedding so spent limited time in the house but it has a reasonable sized garden if you were there for a while. Log burner and electric heaters. Close to Henley, but you'd probably need a car to stay here. Lovely pub in Nettlebed, literally 5 minutes walk straight down the path from the house. Alan was quick to answer any questions and gave us a thorough welcome tour. Plenty of off road parking.

This was a nice modern house in a quiet residential area and was ideal for our family’s week stay. The property was clean and tidy and Alan, the owner, was friendly and helpful. Nettlebed is ideally situated for touring the area with some great National Trust Properties nearby. Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey), Blenheim Palace and Bletchley Park all also only a short day trip away. Would certainly recommend booking this property.

We rented this property for a family wedding held in Henley on Thames. We had a really lovely time. The house was perfect for our needs which was for all the family to be together for our son's wedding. Spacious and extremely clean and tidy. Alan had thought of everything and made us extremely welcome. The surrounding area is very pretty, lovely beech woods. The village is lovely with the The White Hart pub/hotel within very easy walking distance. All in all a very successful stay. Thank you so much Alan .

Host Alan met us at the property upon arrival and thoroughly explained everything we needed to know. Absolutely delighted with Alan and the property which fully matched the listing. Corner House was very clean, well equipped and exactly what we required for our family stay. All four bedrooms are well proportioned, large kitchen and dining area, ample parking, large garden and excellent quiet location.

Nice spacious house in a good location. Very quiet and peaceful. Good pub and cafe in the village. A few website discrepancies e.g. We were a group of 8 but only 6 dining chairs - we had to use chairs from the outside sun deck but they sufficed. No shaded area in the garden but this was not a problem for us as we were out and about most of the time. There were some cleanliness issues but the host has reasonably and very promptly addressed them with us.

Before I begin, I must note that irrespective of the issues we faced in the property, we enjoyed our 4 days stay there. The only thing that soured the entire experience was the post-checkout interaction with the host, Alan.The property was as per usual standards but with a few faults. The dishwasher wasn't working, the toilet downstairs didn't have any hot water and the living room didn't have a working heater. Other than those 3 there wasn't much that could be faulted with the property. The dishwasher not working was a big deal for us considering we weren't ordering a lot from outside due to COVID situation and having 8 adults and 2 children with 1 infant at the house there were a lot of dishes that we had to hand clean after every meal. Notwithstanding we didn't complain and carried out enjoying the 4 days that we had got after 5 months of lockdown and just gave it as feedback to Alan without raising any ruckus about it. The problems occurred when Alan, the host, came to check us out at the end of those 4 days. We agreed the time of noon to check out and we were out 5 minutes earlier. Alan then went in and requested me to accompany him. Considering the situation with the virus and all he didn't have a mask on and wasn't following any social distancing. I should have pointed it out but as with the dishwasher out of courtesy I didn't (my mistake) make any issues about it and complied. What transpired during that interaction and the interactions on whatsapp later on is noted in the below points - 1) Alan was annoyed with the cleanliness of the place - The place, as per my view, was left in a state that simple housekeeping couldn't fix. Alan was expecting he would get the house in as clean a state as he left it for us which is impractical to assume. Things such as duvets not rolled up properly, pillows not kept in the order that they were when we entered the house, dishes that were hand cleaned not kept at their proper place as we had kept them out for drying, hob having cooking stains that were not rubbed/scrubbed properly, etc. 2) He got annoyed that we had been using a heater – who gets annoyed at that?3) He didn't like us using "his" stuff – "his" stuff was not marked as such and anyway, we used his salt & pepper, his shampoo and his duvet that was kept in the cupboard. We wouldn't have used it had we known that they were "his".4) he wanted us to pay him extra so that he doesn't write a bad review. 5) Wrongly claimed we checked out late

Perfect holiday home

This was our second vacation in Alan’s lovely home in Nettlebed, a very nice village with plenty of beautiful walks and perfectly located between Henley, Watlington, and Wallingford. The house is extremely quiet, spacious and comfortable. Alan is a fantastic host, very thoughtful, charismatic and full of good advice. We would strongly recommend his place, either for a family/couple holiday, or a business trip.

Very Comfortable, Ideal Location and Keen to Please Host

Very Comfortable, Ideal Location and Keen to Please Host

We live in Scotland and our family visits to London were usually based out of Hotels where we pay a premium and still found parking was an issue. So we made the right choice of staying at Corner house. Clean, comfortable and nicely furnished with a large garden and patio to enjoy the great weather. We made several day trips to London, Oxford, Stratton upon Avon and Reading and found the location very convenient. No storage of shops and stores as well near by with Waitrose and Tesco nearby. Lastly, Alan spent time to make sure we fully got acquainted with the house and regularly checked by texting if we needed any help with anything. Great experience for the family. Thanks Alan.

Alan could not have been more helpful, he really went above and beyond making us welcome and ensuring our trip went smoothly. A great communicator, friendly and kind - we really felt exceptionally well looked after. The house is very clean and comfortable, decorated to a high standard and with great beds - we all had an excellent nights sleep. Fantastic showers, soft towels, very well kitted out kitchen with all you'll need to cater. Sunny garden. In a lovely, quiet neighborhood with good transport links to the centre of Henley. Will be coming back and would highly recommend booking this property.
