Merewood House

We stayed here last year and was so pleased stayed again this year. House is perfect for 2 couples. Very close to the park and rice so easy access to Oxford

Everything was fine

Rustig gelegen aan de rand van de stad. Op loopafstand van groen wandelgebied. En bushalte naar het centrum op een paar minuten wandelen. Huis is comfortabel met fijne tuin. Al met al topverblijf!

We stayed from 23–30 December. On arrival, the property had no heating and no hot water. This situation continued for four days, during which time the ensuite shower was unusable, and there was no usable hot water at all (other than boiling a kettle). This was over the Christmas period during a particularly cold snap, and tradespeople and the owner were attending the property repeatedly, causing further disruption. Heating and hot water were only fully restored after four days. While the owner did provide some temporary electric heaters, the lack of both heating and hot water for such a significant part of the stay meant the property was not fit for purpose for a large portion of our holiday. The owner acknowledged the issue and said compensation would be provided, but several weeks later, the dispute remains unresolved. The property itself may be nice when fully functional, but based on our experience and the way the issue has been handled, I would not stay again or recommend it.

Our second time staying at this wonderful home-from-home. The previous stay was a cosy winter one, so it was a real treat to enjoy a summer trip this time with the beautiful garden with so many options of places to sit and relax. The house was immaculate on arrival and lovely surprises like fresh milk waiting for us along with tea, coffee & biscuits. A treat to have starter pack of washing up / dishwasher bits, as well as plenty of shower gel, soap and toilet roll. The house is well equipped, very spacious especially for the living areas and kitchen, and lovely home touches. We had a very comfortable stay and will certainly be back when visiting family and friends in the area. Thank Nick for being such a great host!

The bedroom shutter style blinds let in quite a bit of light (especially on long summer evenings) so light sleepers might want to pack an eye mask if that bothers them.

Clean and comfortable and thoughtful extra touches such as a decorated Christmas tree. The location - walking distance to the Park and Ride - was very convenient and made Oxford City Centre easily accessible. The residential street was beautifully quiet at nighttime.

We couldn’t find any instructions for setting the oven clock and it took us a while to get the oven to work.
