Notes
- Although centrally heated there is also a log burning stove for cosy evenings in Autumn or Winter. (Logs are provided free of charge) The Staircase to the upstairs bedroom is quite steep and elderly or infirm people may find this a problem. Children love the upstairs bedroom which has its own TV and video/DVD player. Stair gates are available.The other bedroom is downstairs and is easily accessible and has its own ensuite bathroom.We provide some local guides and maps and dozens of leaflets on places of interest. We also provide a number of videos, hopefully with something of interest for everyone. For Mobile Phone Usage - some networks may give patchy coverage

Great Christmas Getaway
Wonderful cosy characterful but roomy cottage, and although it’s adjoining the beautiful barn it feels as if it’s in its own little Chilterns valley world, private but easy to get to many local sights by car. Surrounded by hills, woodland and many red kites. Well appointed, comfortable and something a bit special.
It was lovely to meet you and so glad you enjoyed your stay.
I hope you have a good time in Perth ....we’ll look out for you!
Come again in the summer to really enjoy the countryside!
All the best,
Jenny
Character cottage
Well equipped and beautifully presented this cottage was ideal for our aim of walking the length of the Ridgeway. 2 couples were in our party and the 2 single beds in the loft room were joined together to make a very comfortable king-size bed. The ladder/stairs to the upstairs room is very steep and not for the faint-hearted going to the loo at night, so clients need to be aware of this before they book! An excellent pub/restaurant within 1.5 miles (The King William IV) was very welcome, and there are a number of nearby NT properties that are well worth seeing (Hughenden and Nuffield Place were highlights). Very quiet in beautiful gardens with a fascinating selection of chickens, ducks and geese as occupants the environment is delightful. Wallingford is nearby which provides all the usual amenities and the road access for getting about is good.
Thank you so much for your comments. It was lovely to meet you all and very pleased the walk was successful.
Very best wishes,
Jenny and Robert

Thank you very much for your comments. We loved having you to stay. You certainly seemed to maximise your stay! I can only apologise for the poor weather but I have no influence!
Very best regards

Perfect Rural Hidaway
A very comfortable stable conversion in an outstanding country spot, yet within easy reach of Wallingford, Didcot and Reading.
Location
Wellplace is a small hamlet near Ipsden, itself a small village, about 5 miles east of the historic market town of Wallingford. Wallingford is about 10 miles downstream of Oxford. The cottage is located in an area designated as of outstanding natural beauty. Our visitors find the cottage an ideal base for exploring the rich history in the area, and trips to London, the Cotswolds,and Shakespeare country.
