  We had a great stay at the Old Barn.

  We were a group of 4 adults and 3 children. The barn is stunning. It really has the wow factor. As you drive in you are greeted by a barn full of cows! There is large parking area, grand entrance, with huge open space plan. With high ceilings I thought it might get cold but the temperature was perfect, there is under floor heating throughout keeping it toasty warm. We wanted to use the wood burner more but only used it once. It’s so cosy. Up to date kitchen with all the things you would need. I would have liked better quality pans. A few dishwasher tabs but bring some of your own if staying longer. Beds are comfortable, rooms a good size. It’s a short drive from Oxford. We did the park and ride with ease. Also near Witney, nice to take a stroll around. You do have to get in the car to go anywhere. I’m sure in the summer it’s even nicer with a grass area, patio and BBQ. There is washing machine if needed. Overall a very pleasant stay and would recommend.

  Most importantly the cottage was sparkling!

  Fiona (the owner) was amazing, we had visited Bletchley Park on the day we arrived and really wanted to watch The Imitation Game but hadn't bought the DVD. Within 5 minutes of asking Fiona whether there was Netflix a bag appeared on our doorstep with not only The Imitation Game but a large selection of brand new blockbuster videos which kept us entertained all week. There was plenty of wood and kindling for the log burner. All the appliances worked perfectly. The instructions given to rentee's were user friendly and sensible. The location was excellent and the directions to find the cottage also excellent. One of the highlights was watching the Red Kite's in the late afternoon swooping over the garden - I wouldn't be surprised if this was organised by Fiona too! All in all a wonderful week of peace, rest and no Covid anxiety.

  We were wowed by The Clealings the moment we drove through the gates with the beautifully kept garden spreading out on either side of the property.

  My two children, 6 and under, were thrilled to see a climbing by frame and with the gorgeous weather we had, they and the other children in our party spent so much time playing in the garden. The house was clean and today with a wealth of dvds and games in case of rainy days. All the rooms were lovely and spacious and the beds were comfy with lovely soft duvets. With so many people in our group having a main bathroom and a second separate toilet downstairs was very handy. The shower was lovely and powerful too. The kitchen was exceedingly well equipped with every utensil you could wish for and the coffee machine was an added bonus. The games room with the pool table was also great fun. Thank you to the owners of The Clealings for such a wonderful break.

  The Clealings is a beautiful property with extensive well manicured grounds so great if you have dogs.

  Our dogs loved running around in the open space! The property was exceptionally clean with all mod cons. Bedrooms on the ground floor make them easily accessible for anyone with mobility issues. The games room was a welcome addition and we enjoyed a few games of pool. Trips out included Bletchley Park, Highclere Castle (about an hour each way). Closer is Oxford City, Aston Pottery and the town of Witney (lovely) - all well worth visiting. Remember to book any visitor attractions beforehand as Covid restrictions require it. Good pubs nearby - The Fleece at Witney and the pub that sits at the Tadpole Bridge site where you can watch the canal boats as you sip your chosen drink or eat a meal. We had a great time with some super memories to treasure.

  The welcome pack of goodies was a delightful surprise on our arrival, including a wonderful cake and flapjack which were were delicious.

  We were a family of 6 adults, 2 children, a toddler and baby and there was so much space in the house and the children loved running about in the massive garden so much that when we went out on day trips they were very eager to return to the house. The details and pictures do not do the accommodation justice. The lounge is large and comfortable with another smaller library room off it, the kitchen is extremely well equipped to a very high standard, and the dining area very light and spacious. Furnishings throughout the house are very good quality and the beds and linen very comfortable, almost luxurious. The owner has thought of everything to make the holiday let better than a "home from home".
