Stable Cottage, Oxfordshire

The location was excellent - especially for visiting Blenheim Palace and Oxford. Facilities excellent and having garden as outside space was nice. There is a lovely kitchen garden and farm shop on the farm that we visited. The kitchen garden is beautiful and tea/cakes as well as lunch and evening meals served there.

Nothing

size wise suited our party

the property was very cold, heating hadn’t been put on early enough prior to our visit and the first night was freezing and we had a 5 month old baby and a gentleman with a heart condition. we searched for logs for the wood burner where the information sheet said they would be but following searching the whole site there were none available.we were considering going home after one night but managed to phone and get logs for the fire which at least warmed the lounge area.

Swimming pool, but worth noting the restricted hours of use. During our stay in summer holidays, swimming pool was only allowed to be used 7am-8:30am, 1pm-2pm, then after 5:30pm until sunset, due to the location being on a business estate, which was disappointing for the children.

The terrible sewerage smell which apparently came from adjacent sprayed fields. The property entrance though is directly opposite a sewage treatment works. The cottages are unusually located on a business park.
