  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.

  We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Kingfisher, 2 The Old Stables.

  From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome with a vase of beautiful flowers and yummy biscuits inside waiting for us. The family were very accommodating with our children, introducing them to all the animals and even letting them feed Joey the lamb. The accommodation has been finished to a very high standard, with an outdoor seating area overlooking the pond. The property is perfectly located for a stroll down to the River Thames, local pubs with great food or a day trip to Oxford for a bit of culture. This property is perfect for a young family, walking enthusiasts or someone looking for a peaceful and relaxing break from city life. We will return and recommend to family and friends.

  The cottages have been recently renovated to a lovely standard with nice features and all The essentials needed for a family break.

  Our young children loved the trip - feeding a lamb in the stables was the highlight for our toddler, together with meeting the farm owners who were very welcoming. And there was lots more to see close by including horses, sheep, cows, tractors etc... a real experience for our city kids! It’s a short walk to the local village where the pub restaurant’s food is very tasty and service is family friendly, albeit a little pricey. And within a short drive there’s lots more to explore - splendid villages, pubs, walks and the farm shop with a great animal area and playground. We didn’t venture to Oxford or the Cotswolds as time was short but would imagine they are easily accessible from here too.
