All facilities are provided. Kitchen was very special with top of the range appliances. There was only five of us. School friends who met 50 years ago meeting up for the weekend, but this property can accommodate many more. I would highly recommend staying here.

Handy for nearby Witney and other towns in the Cotswolds, and only three minutes from Lidl for essentials!

It was our second time staying there with our 2 families (four young children) and the place is perfect. It felt comfortable, spacious and is well equipped. Outside is the amazing grassed area which is more like a field so there was plenty of space to kick a ball around and in addition a new play facility with swings and slide etc. The welcome pack was the most generous one we have ever had. None of us wanted to leave. Thank you so much.
