Briony - Aug 2026 - Air B&B

We had a fantastic stay at Meadow Cottage. The house is really well equipped for cooking for a family group (plenty of pans, plates, cups, glasses, fridge space etc!). It feels cosy but also spacious which was an advantage with two small children. The garden was lovely and it’s in such a quiet location at the very end of a quiet track. The only negative for us was that we didn’t get to spend more time in the house (we went to a weekend event at Silverstone which was about 25 minutes drive away). Would recommend the house to anyone looking for a home from home.

Lynda - Aug 2026 - Air B&B

Meadow Cottage is spacious and was perfect for our family get together. Lots of space for eating, sitting and playing board games! Very clean where it counts we cooked family meals most evenings, lots of crockery, cutlery and all the trays and dishes you might require.
Plenty of patio area for scooters and grass for football( mind the horse though!). Parked 4 cars no problem on the gravel drive.
Lovely little village with play park, field, cake hut and a ‘drinking’ pub. Although Google the limited opening hours to not get caught out.
We visited Stowe, caught the park and ride bus into Oxford, drove a bit further out to Cotswold wildlife park. All excellent. We would avoid the fairytale farm another time though, a bit tired with sad looking animals.
All in all a great property, with 3 toilets and 2 showers.

Melanie - Aug 2026 - Short Let Space

Our only complaint was that the shower in the main bathroom was very noisy

Our Reply
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the noise from the shower in the main bathroom and will take this into consideration. We hope you otherwise had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Kind regards, Lerato Short Let Space
Megan - Jul 2026 - Air B&B

We loved this peaceful house for our group of 6 adults. Spacious with unique touches, we felt at home. Loved the outdoor space, big kitchen, plenty of bath facilities. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nicola - May 2026 - Air B&B

We really loved our stay here! Great location with lovely walks nearby and sheep and a horse for neighbours!
The cottage is spacious, airy and well equipped. We stayed for a wedding at The Tythe Barn which was a 12 minute drive away.
Highly recommend for a countryside break.

Eliott - May 2026 - Air B&B

Awesome stay at this lovely cottage. Very pretty house with everything you need. Even some tea, coffee, milk and homemade jam to welcome you!
We had a great time, perfect for 8 people.

Amanda - Mar 2026 - Air B&B
We loved this house. I'm surprised they didn't find us still there when they came to clean as we didn't want to leave. It was perfect. The owners had thought of everything we needed and although we didn't really do any big meals there as we went to a birthday party near by, the kitchen is beautifully equipped and designed. The sitting rooms so comfortable and light. And the beds super comfy. I hate the smell of fabric softener, I just can't sleep with the smell, but the sheets were beautiful and fresh. It was all round perfect. Wish we could stay longer and hope one day to come back. Thank you

Pam - Mar 2026 - Short Let Space

All very good, we were 7 old friends and the cottage was a perfect size for us. The kitchen was very well equipped and the dining areas really spacious and comfortable.

Thank you for a lovely stay

Beautiful cottage, all the facilities, and plenty of space. Lovely garden. Ideal for our family get together before our daughter’s wedding. It will always have a special place in our hearts for that reason. The hosts were kind and thoughtful. Thanks.

Alice - Oct 2025 - Air B&B

Really lovely house in a quite country village. The property was ideal for our family trip away – the kitchen was well equipped for our dinner parties, and the snug was an ideal space for the children to play (and an added bonus that the property had extra toys for them to play with. Plus the piano!). Everything was very clean. The host was really responsive to any questions we had. The space was ideal for 6 adults and 2 children. Options of country walks right outside the property. Would recommend.

Eileen - Aug 2025 - Air B&B

Absolutely loved our time at Meadow Cottage! It was perfect in every sense and we hope to visit again soon! It was superb!

Madeleine - Aug 2025 - Air B&B

Gorgeous house for a family weekend away. Peaceful location with lots of walks in the countryside. The house itself if beautiful with all the equipment you need – my only suggestion is that a music speaker would have been really useful.

Selina - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

The house is lovely, it’s 15 mins drive away from the town and the house itself located in a small beautiful village where just 3 mins walk to the local pub that has beer pull out from the barrel!

Gordon - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

The house was very homely with beautiful peaceful surroundings, with a lovely local community feel to add. We could not find any fault. Our stay was very enjoyable and we hope to be back.

Perfect house. Garden with wonderful views and time for long walks in the countryside. House is very spacious, very well equipped kitchen and everything you might need. Would recommend for families and groups of friends looking for quiet time in the countryside. Very responsive and communicative hosts.

Sue Lomas - Apr 2025 - Short Let Space

This cottage met all our needs. We were three family groups and two dogs and there was plenty of room for us all. The cottage was spotlessly clean and cosy warm and provided everything we needed for our short stay. All information was clear and everything worked as it should. An ideal location for walks from the cottage. We walked to Bucknell and had lunch in the Trigger Pond pub. It was also a straightforward route into Oxford and to Bicester for our shopping. A lovely cottage where we hope to return one day.

Suuny - Sep 2024 - Air B&B

Great place and would definitely be back soon!

Excellent property for a group which I fully recommend.
Idyllic village location which was handy as a base for local excursions to Bletchley Park, Oxford and Windsor. The property was spacious, very clean and exceptionally well stocked for guests compared to most in my experience. There was sufficient milk, tea, coffee, apple juice and housekeeping supplies to tide one over for a couple of days

We had a great time! We will definitely come again!

Helen - Nov 2023 - Air B&B

Couldn’t fault Meadow Cottage, the place was spacious, well equipped and clean. The owners had thought of everything that you might need for a short stay. Paying extra for the hot tub was worth it. We would definitely return!

Claire - Oct 2023 - Air B&B

Mary - Aug 2023 - Air B&B

We stayed at Meadow Cottage as a family of 6. We had the best time. The minute we walked in we felt at home. Meadow Cottage is so beautiful. Spacious. And yet cosy. The bedrooms are all very good size and the beds were very comfy. The kitchen is very well equipped. We cooked a roast dinner. The garden is very peaceful with outstanding views. Simply, we had a wonderful stay.

Liam - Jul 2023 - Air B&B

Absolutely pristine property in a lovely quiet village. The hosts where extremely welcoming and very responsive whenever we had any questions. We stayed for the British GP and used the park and ride which the location of the property was perfect for. Would highly recommend.

Vanessa - Jun 2023 - Air B&B

Absolutely beautiful house with everything you could need. Such lovely décor and the piano was an extra bonus. Fabulous house to stay in for a family gathering as there was loads of space for everyone, the bedrooms with their own basins were perfect. Great garden and conservatory to sit and enjoy the pretty garden.

Bana - Jun 2023 - Air B&B

Absolutely beautiful cottage, looks exactly like the pictures and the surroundings are great. Only about 15 mins from Bicester so if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is perfect! The hosts also left a lovely note and we felt very welcomed and at home, great touch, thanks so much 🙂

Amy - Jun 2023 - Air B&B

we had a great time at this property. the only downside was not having a good pub nearby (there is one but it is a pretty unusual place). but other than that the house was gorgeous, lovely garden, everything we could have needed and even some lovely gifts left for us there by the hosts. would very much recommend

John-David - May 2023 - Air B&B
