About this cottage rental
Tackley is a thriving place of traditional stone cottages and a community-led village shop which provides all manner of lovely things. Buff Lodge sits in a quiet courtyard behind one of these lovely village houses and offers a wonderful base from which to explore.
Step inside and you'll find a comfortable escape for four guests. The open-plan design makes for sociable living, with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and generous living room on the ground floor. Double doors lead out to a private, enclosed terrace where you can enjoy meals in the fresh air or simply relax with a drink and a good book. There is a super-king bedroom on the ground floor, as well as a bathroom whilst the second king-size bedroom is on the first floor, along with an en-suite shower room. This lovely room boasts high ceilings and exposed beams and is a cosy and welcoming space.
The enclosed terrace is an added bonus, and the screened trellis ensures this is a sunny and private space where you can relax after a day of exploring. There is private parking for two cars in the courtyard.

Buff Lodge provides everything you need for a comfortable stay away from home. We were lucky to be able to use the patio, in the Autumnal sunshine. Everything was as expected, and the kitchen had all utensils needed to make some special meals after a busy day touring in the area. The beds and bathrooms provided comfort for a good nights' sleep, and the surroundings were lovely and peaceful. Lisa was so friendly, and gave us details of the local bakery / shop, and we found some lovely bread and cake there. Sadly, the church on the hill was closed for renovation, so we'll have to return to view inside. The local pub was also shut and up for sale, but hopefully will find some new owners who will make something of it for when we revisit - hopefully. The village is great for walking around, and the Station is such a bonus.

Having visited the property once before, it felt like coming home. Lisa the owner is very welcoming and friendly. Although we use it primarily as a base to visit relatives it is well placed For Blenheim Palace, Oxford and the Cotswolds.

A really great property. It has been lovingly furnished and is spacious and comfortable. Ideally situated to visit Oxford (bus stop 1 minute away) and Blenheim Palace.
It also boasts a beautiful little garden with sun loungers and a patio set.
Would highly recommend.

Both the bath and shower were very slippery. Safety mat necessary.
Instructions book could have been better.
5.0 / 5.0
Buff Lodge was welcoming, impeccably clean, well-equipped and well-located. Effortless place to stay for a long weekend, although given the size, parking and facilities if you're up to 4 people, would be easy to stay longer. Lisa was welcoming and keeps the place SPOTLESS. Couldn't recommend more.
5.0 / 5.0
Buff Lodge is a lovely two bed cottage perfectly situated for visiting Oxford and the Cotswolds. The property was clean and well-appointed. We were having a short break and planned to spend all our time in Oxford so did not really 'use' the kitchen that much but it was obvious that everything was supplied that you might need.
We chose to use the Park & Ride to get into Oxford but you are also 0.3 miles along the lane to the railway station which would be a great option not to take a car into the city.
The beds were extremely comfortable and proper sized bath sheets were provided.
We felt that a few lamps in the sitting are would have made the ambience better as there are only ceiling lights currently. And lights in general need checking on changeover as the light above the en suite bathroom mirror was not working. There is also a prize for anyone who works out how to turn on the under cupboard lights in the kitchen! It defeated us.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and would happily have stayed longer. We were there in the run up to Storm Babet so a wet stay but the little courtyard garden would have been a perfect spot for a glass of wine in good weather. Thankfully the cottage has a very responsive heating system which made the cottage very cosy within minutes of us returning each evening.
Seriously recommend the Indian Delivery from Ovisher, Kidlington. Perfect for first night supper.
