Lovely cottage in ideal location
We instantly felt at home in this pretty cottage. It is extremely well equipped, very clean and in a perfect location. We enjoyed a super short break after Christmas visiting Oxford and a lovely walk straight out the door to the Rollright Stones. As it is an older property, it is a little colder upstairs but there are plenty of blankets- maybe pack an extra jumper in the winter.

8/10 Good

Nice cottage in great location
We stayed with our 13 year old daughter for a long weekend. Nice cottage, only a couple of very minor niggles that didn’t affect our stay - the cottage is very nice but we felt smelt a little musty downstairs (especially in the kitchen/utility area, although it’s an old house so maybe to be expected) Also, we would have preferred full size bath towels, rather than the smallish ones that the cottage provides, but these are very minor points that wouldn’t put us off staying again. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend

A very comfortable stay
Loved The Smithy! Good communication throughout from the hosts - we were sent a message at 12pm saying it was ready for check in. We asked for a baby cot, a stairgate and a high chair and it was all set up prior to arrival. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we made many meals there. Sainsbury's was just a few minutes' walk away and there was a small farmers market on Wednesday. All in all we loved our stay and would return.

Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous!
Beautiful place. It was spotless. The heating worked exceptionally well, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could think of and more. The bedrooms were a great size and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. The power shower was superb! We will happily stay here again. A fantastic example of how to present a holiday cottage!
