Leah - Aug 2026 - Air B&B

Amazing house and great location!!

Sarah - Jul 2026 - Air B&B

Spacious and beautifully renovated cottage in the heart of the old high st. Although it’s in the heart of the town it is very private and not overlooked with a beautiful little terrace to sit in through these gorgeous July evenings. Excellent road connections. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen.

Margaret - Jul 2026 - Air B&B

House was perfect for our stay. It was clean & tidy and very well equipped. Would definitely book again

Clive - Jul 2026 - Air B&B

The property was just as described on Airbnb and we had a great stay. I can recommend the local bakery for the best corn bread we’ve had!

I wasn’t that happy that once I’d booked I was taken away from the Airbnb site to a new site where I had to hand over personal details again and thus was being dealt with by a third party where the whole process then felt very AI rather than personal.

Martin - May 2026 - Air B&B

Really nice and comfortable place – thank you.

Ana - Apr 2026 - Air B&B

The stay was perfect. We were given clear instructions on how to access the property and having space for two cars was a bonus – especially since the bus to Oxford city centre stopped just round the corner from the house. The inside of the house was exactly like the photos- but it felt much bigger inside. We were all fighting over the room with its own dressing room! All in all a brilliant relaxing stay in a lovely little village. Just what we needed.

Clive - Feb 2026 - Air B&B

Great place to stay very comfortable, clean and modern. Lots too do nearby not far from the park and ride into Oxford city centre.

Jana - Jan 2026 - Air B&B

Excellent stay! Clean, modern, perfect location with lots to do!

Cherryl - Dec 2025 - Air B&B

Clean and cosy house with modern amenities and well equipped. We stayed over Christmas and were pleasantly surprised that the host had left a lovely Xmas tree in the house. Getting into Oxford city centre by bus is easy and convenient with the bus stop being just round the corner. Would definitely stay here again.

James - Dec 2025 - Air B&B

Beautiful cottage, clean and tidy and all the amenities you would want. This is truly a home from home.

Lorraine - Dec 2025 - Air B&B

We had a wonderful stay! The place was exceptionally clean, tidy, and beautifully decorated. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of — nothing was missing, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was perfect and very well put together. The only small downside was the check-in/check-out times. An earlier check-in (around 3 PM) and an 11 AM check-out would have made the experience absolutely flawless and worthy of full stars. Overall, a fantastic stay — highly recommended!

Our Reply

We appreciate your feedback regarding the check-in and check-out times; they are set within the industry standards, but we’ll certainly take your suggestion on board. It’s fantastic to know you had a wonderful stay, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime! Lindsay @ Short Let Space
Claire - Nov 2025 - Air B&B

A great place with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Thanks!

Vanessa - Nov 2025 - Air B&B

It was a clean and spacious location. Very walkable to pubs shops and transportation. We felt right at home.

Kim - Nov 2025 - Air B&B

Great place, beautiful layout and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Sarah - Nov 2025 - Air B&B

We stayed as a family of 4 for a few days for my daughter’s birthday. The space is laid out well and very comfortable. Recommend the cafe on the road for breakfast, it was delicious! Not far to get to Oxford either- bus or park and ride it. Would definitely stay again.

Emma - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

We had a fantastic stay! The house was amazing, so spacious but homely. We will definitely be back – so pleased to have found this property in Wheatley.

Tanya - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

Perfect location, beautifully presented and clean with bonus of a car space. Walking distance to local shop, lovely cafe and a couple of pubs. We really enjoyed our stay here and bear bus stop for trips to Oxford city centre.

Julia - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

We enjoyed 3 nights at Friday Cottage recently. The house met our needs well and we valued having shops and bakery within walking distance. Thank you.

Anna - Sep 2025 - Booking.com

It met our expectations, clean and tidy. Undisturbed. Well-equipped kitchen.

Anne - Sep 2025 - Booking.com

Great location. Great having off street parking in village. High standards.

Lisa - Sep 2025 - Air B&B

Fantastic accommodation that was a stone’s throw from Oxford. Spacious, modern, comfortable and clean, we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights in Friday cottage. Check in was simple with easy instructions to follow. The property was well furnished and well maintained.

Helen - Aug 2025 - Air B&B

Very nice house and amenities. Located on the high street, the main street of the small old district. There are a few essential shops on this street, a pub, a small supermarket 5 minutes’ walk and a larger supermarket 20 minutes’ walk or 5 minutes’ drive. For more shops and restaurants you have to leave Wheatley but there are places nearby (15 mins by car). Very close to Oxford and ideally located for visiting the Cotswolds, and several other sites 40-60 minutes from Wheatley.

Sarah - Aug 2025 - Air B&B

First place I’ve stayed in that looks bigger than the photos. Really lovely space, clean and well equipped.

Carolyne - Aug 2025 - Air B&B

We enjoyed the accommodations as it met our needs and requirements fully. Good local transport and easy access to main roads, but the setting was peaceful which is what we wanted.

Patricia - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

It suited our family of four very well. Lovely neighbourhood to be in

Imran - Jul 2025 - Booking.com

Great overall stay. Warm and cosy and met expectations! Well located and easy to find. The property was clean, cosy and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. Someone from the management was available for contact but we had everything we needed.

Paul - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

Thanks for the stay, lovely place

Valter - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

Great place, a few minutes’ drive from Oxford. The house is very nice, equipped with all the comforts and everything you could ask for both in terms of furniture and electrical equipment. Excellent bathrooms. A very comfortable dedicated parking space. A very pleasant and quiet setting, where it is pleasant to take a walk among flowered balconies and friendly and courteous people. The agency that markets it has proven to be very attentive and present. Really a nice experience.

Steven - Jun 2025 - Booking.com
Darren - Jun 2025 - Air B&B

A beautiful property and great hosts, couldn’t fault our stay, well worth every penny.

Valter - Jun 2025 - Short Let Space

The house was really fantastic and we had a great time there. We hope to come back soon.

Geraldine - Jun 2025 - Air B&B

Lovely property. Had everything we needed. Could do with shower caps as it’s a rainfall shower. Don’t want to get hair wet everyday. Plenty of towels. Comfortable beds. The address is deceptive. It’s on the corner of High Street. Spent a long time trying to find the entrance. Maybe get a house name and number on driveway entrance.

Our Reply
Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the property and found it well-equipped and comfortable. We appreciate your helpful suggestions regarding shower caps and clearer signage for the entrance: these are great points, and we’ll certainly look into improving them. Lindsay @ Short Let Space
Matt - May 2025 - Air B&B

I had a pleasant stay at Friday Cottage. Nicely furnished with good kitchen and bathrooms, peaceful village and an easy commute of South Oxford. Responsive hosts, would be happy to stay again on a future visit.

James - Feb 2025 - Air B&B

Immaculately clean and well presented. Lots of space and comfortable furnishings.

Helena - Feb 2025 - Booking.com
Geoffrey - Jan 2025 - Air B&B

Beautiful home and town. Lots of farm Paths nearby for walking. Relatively easy access by transit to Oxford and to London.

Bruce - Nov 2024 - Short Let Space

Second stay and as good as the first, faultless…

Susan - May 2024 - VRBO

Such a lovely house – we wished we could stay longer. Perfectly clean and everything we needed in the house. Beds really comfortable. We wanted to be tourists in Oxford and the house is very close to the bus stop so everything was easy.

Sarah - May 2024 - Air B&B

Beautiful house, very spacious and light, comfortable beds.

Sarah - Nov 2023 - Air B&B

Everything has been fab & the property just perfect! It had everything we needed. Our only piece of feedback is that the house is not good for people with mobility issues. The steps up to the house really difficult as no handrail & there were stairs between the double bedroom & bathroom without a bannister. But it’s perfect in every other way!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please be assured that your feedback will be passed onto our maintenance team. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Lindsay @ Short Let Space
Maria - Oct 2023 - Air B&B

A beautiful house, very well equipped for our families needs.

Jenny - Sep 2023 - Booking.com

The home was warm, clean & comfortable. However, the location directions unclear. Add detail like ‘drive entrance on High Street, (not Friday Lane), opposite United Reform Church’, could helpfully be added. The oven on cooker didn’t work on arrival. Owner came the next day & fixed it. (Thank you).

Our Reply
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and we will look into updating the direction information to ensure it is clearer. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Lindsay @ Short Let Space
Jon - Jun 2023 - Air B&B

A very clean and well managed place. A great place to stay

Anthony - Jun 2023 - Short Let Space

We had a very pleasant stay at Friday Cottage. The house proved to have all the facilities we needed and was well located for places we wished to visit. The information you provided before we arrived was very useful.

Now I need to thank you again for the link to your website. It may well prove helpful for future visits.

Adam - May 2023 - Air B&B

Very nice clean and spacious. Would recommend

Brian - May 2023 - Air B&B

Lovely property, very well equipped and furnished. Really nice to have the two living room areas, though we would have preferred the TV in the cosier room! The village is friendly and active, with excellent bus links to Oxford. Recommend this place
