Cotswold Cottage- Central Witney

We loved all the little touches and the quality of the furnishings. The location was amazing on the church green and walking distance to everything

Very well appointed, clean and well stocked with quality kitchen mugs plates and knives etc. Beds large and comfy and all very well presented

Nothing really to dislike

The cottage was superb, Archie the owner was a star. We were up to see our new granddaughter, and he left a bottle of bubbly for us. The location is brilliant, on the church green, and so convenient for the town. Parking is great, and free. Would highly recommend, and will certainly be staying here again.

Beautiful location

Host was very friendly and helpful, even advising the property was ready before our check-in time if needed. Key collection simple from lockbox outside front door (code, address, etc confirmed by Archie). On entering the cottage, we were wowed by every room we walked into, it had the perfect combination of modern (and new!) fixtures and fittings yet maintained the beauty of the natural stone and exposed wooden beams. With the walls being so thick, any external noise was minimal. We loved the cosy lounge, spacious bedrooms and the well equipped kitchen. We were very impressed by the TVs in the property, so often you have to make do with a fairly small TV when staying away but in the lounge, the TV was about 55" and upstairs in the 2nd floor bedroom, the TV was about 85"!! WiFi is strong and fast. The cottage is just a short walk from Witney town centre, which has a plethora of eateries and is a very pleasant place to walk around and browse the many shops that are there.

With all the positives, it feels a little mean to point out any negatives but to give a balanced view and to help with some (where possible) constructive criticism, I'd like to mention a few things... The biggest problem was parking. There are lots of free parking outside the property and around the town but most have either a 2hr or 4hr restriction, which is a problem when parking up for the evening. You end up spying out of the window, waiting for a space immediately outside which is unrestricted but twice, I ran out to move my car only to be beaten to the space by someone else. Archie did suggest using the car park across the road owned by the pub but I didn't feel comfortable approaching someone in the pub and having to explain why I wanted to park in their car park. If there is an agreed arrangement with the pub, it would be great if there where little printed slips in the cottage you could put in your windscreen. Whilst the fixtures and fittings all appeared new, the toilet seat in both bathrooms needs reseating and straightening and the downstairs basin tap needs tightening. The left hand bulb in the ensuite above the basin needs replacing, either doesn't come on or keeps flashing. The otherwise well stocked kitchen, could do with extra baking trays, perhaps a pizza tray and a bottle opener (with an easy to use corkscrew with 2 leavers either side). Noticed neither TV had an aerial, fine for streaming services but would be nice to watch normal TV too.

The cottage was comfortable, well appointed and in the main very clean. . The cottage is conveniently located to all the main places to visit and see. The kitchen was functional with all appliances in good order and easy to use. We loved it! The furnishings and fitments have been well maintained to a very high standard.

There was very little washing up liquid left to use and no dishwasher tabs however the owner brought us a couple of pods the next day. It was very apparent that the oven had not been cleaned following the last guests. We would have appreciated a welcome book with information about the television and the recycling disposal of our rubbish and the recycling of the same. The micro wave was functional and in good order but not big enough to use with the dinner plates provided. A small thing but we couldn't heat up a meal using the plates.

Location was amzing, cleanliness the best I have ever seen. The interatction with Archie the host and availaibilty and frendliness, second to non. Best booking.com accommodation stayed in to date. Hang onto this one booking.com the competition may steal him.
