The area is a favourite among walkers and cyclists, with picturesque routes leading along the River Thames, into Oxford, and through the surrounding countryside.

Easy to find , easy to enjoy. Easy to discover Oxford. The house is great for a family of four. The garden was very useful this summer week. The house is closed to the park and ride parking or directly to the bus. Thank you
