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

We enjoyed our stay at Banksiae, in the extreamly comfortable appartment. We also enjoyed the nursery it was attached to, conveniently close to Oxford and Belnheim Palace. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Beautiful apartment, very comfortable with all amenities you could want in a quiet setting. Family that own it are lovely and friendly, very chatty with advice on places to go, only negative ( if you need one) is there isn’t a pub within walking distance. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Beautiful cottage and a wonderfully relaxing stay - exactly what we needed! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

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!

Excellent hosts. Well equipped. Lovely internal and external ambience

We had a lovely stay at the Banksiae with a warm welcome and delightful handmade goodies upon our arrival in an idyllic setting. The place was beautifully decorated with amazingly soft bedding we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’d highly recommend the Banksiae, wished we could have stayed longer!

An absolute gem! This is a truly exceptional holiday cottage lovingly and expertly decorated and furnished. Outstanding levels of comfort very similar in quality to The Old Parsonage in Oxford which is a hotel we are familiar with. To top it all, the hosts are about the most accommodating, friendly and helpful one could imagine. Above & Beyond all expectations.
