Great location for walking

Clean and very comfortable accommodation - ideal for a short stay. The location by the canal was lovely. The pub was very friendly and welcoming.

Fabulous

We stayed for 9 days between house move. Absolutely gorgeous cottage in fabulous location. Incredibly peaceful yet a stone’s throw from pubs restaurants, shops and civilisation. Absolutely loved it!

Relaxing Hideaway

“The Dovecote” by name sets your expectations for a small, intimate getaway. The property is small, but perfect for two people and the patio area is a lovely place to enjoy morning coffee or end-of-day drinks and watch the narrowboats glide along the canal. It is just as advertised and we’ll be back again. I’d suggest changing the two quite rigid kitchen chairs for something a bit more flexible-wicker? But just a perfect place for quiet and tranquility.

Perfect Location for Blenheim Palace

Initial impressions were disappointing, due to how small the accommodation was, and the price charged. The location is fantastic, right at the side of the canal. Quiet, peaceful, and lots of lovely walks with nice pubs on the way. The garden has so much potential, but is overgrown and not landscaped. Again, when paying a premium rate for a property, you shouldn’t have an issue running out of hot water. Not I might add, because of eco friendly issues, as stated, but because of a cheap, mechanical timer set for an economy 7 rate. The unvented cylinder should have been on 24/7, and left to the thermostat to ensure we had unlimited hot water. Very poor, especially when charging over 200 per night. Overall, it served a purpose.

Enjoyable weekend break

Beautifully situated along the canal. Short drive to Blenheim palace, Oxford or Bicester village for shopping. The cottage is clean and cosy. We had dinner at the jolly boatman on Saturday evening. We were very lucky with the weather.
