5 Bedroom cottage, Canal View, Parking, Kidlington, Oxford

Lovely quirky cottage, care with Aga, Health and Safety issue discovered which host dealt with quickly Positive: Stayed as a three generation extended family with 9 including one baby. The property is well located 20 mins out of Oxford, and is an old thatched house with lots of space both downstairs and in bedrooms. The property is quirky and well suited to larger group stays. Hosts were prompt and polite throughout- flexible to late changes and quick to respond to issues which occurred during the stay. Negative: There are just two bathrooms so a little short of shower/baths for large groups. The main cooking is provided by an electric Aga which takes a few hours to warm - unless you are used to Aga’s this can be a challenge for planning home cooking. We had an issue on first evening - evidence of mouse droppings on one bed (evidenced only when pulling back the bed cover) which made that bedroom unsafe to use. Hosts did respond quickly and traps were set. The next morning two traps had been sprung and we woke to two dead mice in two bedrooms. This did leave a poor experience in what was otherwise a lovely property. I have been in touch with the owners post return and they advise that pest controllers have been onsite and no further issues have been experienced in the week since we left.

Positive: The size of the property, the amount of bedrooms and beds worked well for our party of eleven. There was plenty of room/rooms for all, to share time together.

In all a wonderful stay and would love to visit again . Positive: Pleasant stay , enogh space for privacy and a good garden space for outdoor activitie. beautiful antique interiors .... got some super pics for memories . Negative: if there could be slight bigger fridge and the internet connection was very weak

Positive: Lovely spacious cottage.

A pleasant stay with friends. Negative: The lawn needed mowing
