    Beautiful cottage in a very secluded location. Absolutely perfect if you want some peace and quiet and a wonderful night’s sleep (it also helps that the bed is huge and very comfortable!)

My husband have lived in the nearby house for nearly 20 years and love the peacefulness and location. We spend most of the time here but are still working part time in London so are not here all the time although someone is here most mornings. Our 3 children have now fled the nest and we enjoy renting out our cottage.
Our guests have all commented on the tranquility of the place as well as the great location near Oxford, Henley and other lovely spots.
