Great house and location
We stayed here to celebrate our wedding with immediate family, kids and dog. Was a great house with plenty of space to hang out. Very comfortable and definitely right up our street in terms of style and peacefulness. Walking distance to local shop which is very well stocked, two good pubs, Hook Norton Brewery and local deli. Caroline was helpful when needed and even offered us a late check out. Would consider staying here again as a treat. Many thanks Caroline!

Great property and extremely conscientious hosts
Had a great stay with family at this property for a milestone anniversary for our parents. It really went down so well with everyone! The hosts were excellent with communications and super helpful. Without going into personal details, they really went the extra mile in looking after us. You can absolutely trust them to truly care about you and your stay. This is the selling point of this property. The house itself was very clean and well appointed. The layout was good for our sets of families, as it has multiple bathrooms and the bedrooms aren't all on top of one another. The quiet sitting room with log fire was our favourite. Also, a great location. Few mins walk from the edge of the village -- which has a couple of lovely pubs, a great butchers with deli, and general store. Trying to think of something to make this review sound realistically balanced, rather than just gushing.... The surrounding gardens were a little out of shape, but that seemed due to the time of year (February) we visited and a harsh winter. It would be great to visit again in better weather, to be able to sit outside, use the pool, etc. Thank you very much to Caroline and co!

perfect family getaway
If you are looking to spend quiet, considered, mindful time with any group for almost any purpose, I can’t imagine a better location. Caroline’s home is perfection. So thankful my family & I were able to spend time there together.

Great location for dog walkers and beer drinkers
Well appointed and laid out property on the edge of Hook Norton, with plenty of secure garden for dogs to roam, and within a short walking distance of the brewery and local pubs. Games room above garage and swimming pool keep teens amused for a while, but there is little in the local area for them before Oxford, 45 minutes drive away. Ideal for fans of country walks and good local beer!
