An exceptional property, hosted by caring, genuine people. We found the apartment to be beautifully presented with many personal touches all aimed at making guests feel welcome and valued. The decoration is well designed and the furniture comfortable (especially the bed) and other fixtures and fittings (eg smart tv, Sonos sound, Nespresso coffee machine) top of the range. The apartment is part of a larger house but with its own front door and set in a plant nursery (not a garden centre). The nursery comings and goings during the daytime didnt spoil our stay and it was interesting to have breakfast in the large bay window watching things. Andrew, Liz and Lucy have made a huge effort to offer guests a wonderful experience and we’d return without doubt. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Absolutely lovely apartment with very welcoming owners. The place was immaculately clean and has a lovely tradition yet contemporary feel to it. The location is private and quiet and we found this to be ideal as Bicester, oxford city centre and Blenheim palace are all only 10-20 minutes away. I happily recommend this lovely cottage.

My wife, 4 month year old and I had a lovely time during our stay. The cottage is surrounded by a nursery which was beautiful and key attractions were very close by. We drove to Blenheim palace in under 10minutes and Oxford was only 20mins away. The accommodation was first class. Especially the little touches - nespresso pods, Sonos speakers connected to an iPad with Spotify and also a smart tv with access to all your usual streaming services which you could use your own accounts on. Loved it. Will definitely come back when our little one is older. The owners were amazing during our stay too

The owners were very welcoming from the start and keen that we had a great stay. The property was spotlessly clean and very well appointed with nice comfy beds too. The welcome pack was appreciated too. Underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom were much appreciated on a cold November morning! It's a shame that the weather was bad when we stayed as we'd have liked to have made use of the garden, but it's an excuse to return another day!
