The only thing that let it down was the parking. Being where it was was great but we had to leave one of the cars at the event as we would never have found space for 2 cars as we came from different ends of the country.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our property. We do mention on our website that there is no dedicated parking for this cottage. We will update the listing to reflect this to ensure it is clearer for the future. Lindsay @ Short Let Space

Amazing place just behind Blenheim Palace, so cozy and comfortable especially fitting for couple with one child, and lots of fantastic inn nearby, we do like to book again when back to Woodstock later.

Daniel - Aug 2021 - Air B&B

Clean and well presented cottage with lots of charm and character. Excellent location, close to the pubs, restaurants and conveniences of Woodstock and the grounds of Blenheim Palace.. Our kids loved it, but we had to be vigilant with our one year old on the spiral staircase.

Lovely place to stay. So peaceful and surrounded by gardens and nice walk into town.

Beautiful spot. The Potting Shed is a great idea. You are lucky enough to be in the beautiful garden with a few chickens roaming around. We stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed the wood burner which kept us very warm at this time of year. Emma is a delightful host and left extras in the fridge which really helps when you’ve travelled for hours. I would love to come back and stay in the summer. Thank you.

This was a dream come true, words do not express our joy and happiness. We are over extremely happy with the cleanliness, proximity of accommodation to nearby attraction such as Blenheim Palace, family are incredible kind & can not do enough. In terms of service and tips, this is number one in the UK. The family should be running a small hotel, very polite and courteous to guests. The chickens in the garden was such a pleasure to live around, not many places you can be surrounded with such incredible nature and wildlife. We can’t wait to return, if you see this home – book ASAP, you will never find a home like it in Oxford. Dreams can’t picture this setting, you can only live it.

My brother and I wanted a base to explore some places around the Cotswolds and the Potting Shed was perfect. Quiet, clean, great location and lots of thoughtful touches. Emma was a great host and offered to lend us bikes, in addition to leaving juice, bread, milk, wine and butter for us upon arrival. There were leaflets left at the property, which helped us plan our time. Should it help anyone, we stayed for five days (four nights), and visited the following: Stratford-upon-Avon, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, Oxford, villages in the Cotswolds and Bletchley Park. Woodstock and Blenheim Palace are within walking distance, and it is also possible to get a bus into Oxford very easily from the property. In other words, this property is a great central location for exploring the nearby areas, in addition to Woodstock itself. Thank you Short Let Space, we really enjoyed our stay.

The Potting Shed is a cosy stay, small but not cramped, it is comfortable and beautifully decorated. the kitchen is well set up and we enjoyed the wood burning stove. The Wi-Fi was good.

Emma is very friendly and helpful – offered the use of a bike, and invited us to help ourselves to apples, quinces and herbs from the (lovely) garden! we also appreciated that there was juice, milk, butter, bread, eggs and wine waiting… really nice not to have to run straight out to the shop.

The Potting Shed is in a pretty spot on the edge of Woodstock – ten mins into the village where there’s shops and pubs etc, and you can get a bus into Oxford. We were there as my partner was working nearby; might feel a bit far out if you just wanted to visit Oxford/didn’t have a car.
