Helen Bradshaw - Nov 2024 - Short Let Space

Lovely cottage and location. The only downside was the parking in Woodstock. The settees were not that comfortable, but that is probably a preference.
This is just a note the battery in the smoke alarm needs replacing. But thank you for a fabulous few days in your cottage.

What an absolute joy of a little home! Perfect location to walk to pubs, Grocery and the Palace. We stayed while in the area for my daughter’s graduation at Oxford, and found it a great location to get to events in Oxford, but then there were so many things to do in Woodstock in the down time. The house was clean and very bright with a fairly well stocked kitchen for cooking. Access to public transport or hired cars was easy. I would have stayed longer if I could have! Highly recommend.

Great cottage for an extended stay in Woodstock / Oxfordshire! Great location, very short walk to the Woodstock shops, pubs, bus stop. I didn’t have a hire car, but I think parking would be an issue if you did have one. The cottage is comfortable plenty of space, really the only downside is if you are tall, as the doorways are low so mind your head! Good kitchen, and great having a washing machine especially for a longer stay. Close to Blenheim Palace which is perfect for a walk or run in the grounds. If you are spending time in the cottage there were loads of books on the shelves to read.

Very well managed and great response. A perfect location, in a beautiful village. Well equipped with everything you need. Would definitely stay here again.

We thought the cottage was very pretty, and perfectly situated within Woodstock. To be picky, the pillows were terrible and the cleaners had forgotten loo rolls in the bathrooms. We only stayed 3 nights and so it was easy to take our rubbish home, but if we were staying for longer it would have been useful to know about the recycling and containers to put it in. The TV has seen better days, but with all that we still loved staying at the cottage and my husband particularly enjoyed the variety of books.

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.

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.

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.
