This is a beautiful, spacious, very well equipped and comfortable cottage with beautiful surroundings. The view onto the orchard from the dining room is stunning. Very quiet, sheep meadow adjacent. Beautiful little village, pub in walking distance. Great location for visiting Oxford and other places of interest, car strongly recommended though.
