Designated as an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" the Hambleden Valley has some of the most spectacular and characteristic Chiltern scenery: high ridges, beech woods, sweeping dry chalk valleys yet it is only 20 miles from Oxford and 25 miles from Heathrow. This unspoilt, beautiful location offers a wide range of attractions to suit the whole family: from the finest walking and cycling paths in the Chilterns to boat trips and picnics along the nearby river Thames, visits to grand stately homes and shopping in the pretty riverside market towns of Marlow and Henley. Old Rose Cottage dates back to the 16th century and it has been sympathetically renovated to provide all comforts while preserving its character. It's open all year and provides self-catering accommodation for up to 4 people in two bedrooms. We've been holding a 4-star rating with the AA since 2014 and we are independently assessed every year. The cottage offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and a kitche, plus a private garden. It is arranged over two floors: upstairs you will find two double bedrooms (a double and a twin) and on ground floor there are a lovely sitting room, a spacious kitchen/diner and the bathroom. The two double bedrooms and stairway have original oak beams, the oak cottage style kitchen/dining room is spacious and fully equipped and the sitting room has a magnificent inglenook fireplace with log burner for cosy winter evenings in. Facilities: \- TV with freeview \- Wi-fi \- dishwasher \- washing machine \- full size hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer and abundance of crockery and pans \- nearby private garden - detached from the property, just a few meters away \- on-street parking for one car. LOCATION The tiny remote village of Turville is actually one of the most popular film and TV location of the country: beautiful St Mary is the church featured in The Vicar of Dibley, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was based at the Cobstone Windmill, which overlooks the village, and Midsomer Murders is a regular visitor here at the village, to name just a few. And it is easy to see why. Nestled in the Chiltern Hills, the postcard perfect village will give you the impression of stepping back in time with its tranquility and its delightful cottages, most of which date back to the 16th century. The breathtaking countryside of the Chilterns is without a doubt the best attraction of the area, and it is itself well worth a stay. The best ways to explore the surroundings is walking or cycling, and the Ridgeway, The Thames Path and the Chiltern Way are here for you to do just that. Hamlets and country villages are scattered around waiting to be discovered (Swycombe, Ewelme, Fingest and Hambleden are just a few examples), with antique churches and traditional pubs. Or you can relax in front of the log burner and soak up the peaceful atmosphere of Turville. Our beloved local pub - The Bull & Butcher - is a short stroll from the cottage, and they serve lovely food. But there is more to keep you and your family entertained, like canoeing and cruising along the River Thames, golfing at one of the many golf courses nearby or shopping and eating out. Bicester Outlet Village is only a 20 min drive away from Turville and nearby Henley, Marlow, Wallingford, Thame and Goring offer plenty of shops and boutiques, and a superb choice of relaxing cafes, characterful pubs and restaurants catering for every taste and budget. And if it is culture you crave, Oxford is about 20 miles away, and in Henley, Marlow, Thame and Wallingford you will find theaters, art galleries, museums and so many festivals and events you will be spoilt for choice! Two of our favourite destinations are The River and Rowing Museum in Henley and The Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden; a must for families and children. Or you can go explore National Trust properties nearby: Hughenden Manor, home to Queen Victoria prime minister Benjamin Disraeli; Cliveden estate overlooking the Thames; Greys Court, a Tudor house with an interesting history; West Wycombe village, a Chilterns village with cottages and inns dating from the 16th to 18th centuries to name a few. TRANSPORT Turville is in rural location and there's no public transport: own car is advised. There is allocated on-street parking for one car next to the cottage. Nearest train stations are in Henley-on-Thames, High Wycombe (both are approximately 8 miles away) and Reading (15 miles away).

Plenty of crockery and utensils. Twin beds were very comfortable.the double bed is quite a hard mattress. We loved our stay. I would say that the cottage would benefit from a little TLC, for example the shelf above the sink and the area where the tray is look untidy and a bit dirty. But we had a great stay and I would certainly stay there again. ##### Naomi J.

The cottage was fine. Just a pity that the garden is so far from the house. The description did warn, but it was a pity. Walls are paper thin to next door neighbours (could hear them snoring!) but the area is beautiful and with a garden at the back door, it would have been wonderful. Still, was pretty good, with friendly, helpful neighbours, excellent bedding/ towels and a brilliant butter dish! Wood burning stove worked well and kitchen is well equipped (although fridge needed mopping out as had been left too low temp.) ##### Fiona B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin D. 9 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A cottage for Garsington Opera The cottage is charming, clean and well equipped. It is situated in a truly lovely little Chiltern Village. We were there for a visit to the nearby Garsington Opera Festival, so it was only a short stay. Particularly to be recommended is the local pub with wonderful pies. ##### Martin D. ### 6/10 Okay #### Linda R. 13 May 2019 #### Beautiful location, lovely cottage All very nice, our second time. Well equipped kitchen and plentiful hot water for the bath, which is always nice. Enjoyed the log burner after trial and error. I found the bed in the main bedroom a bit hard but I am 'getting on' so it is probably just me. Another strange thing. I couldn't find the router, which I was going to plug into so that I could do some work while there. I had the same problem last time but had forgotten, a mystery. Anyway, it was, in a way, nice to have an excuse not to work! We felt at home. The place was immacutely clean. All very lovely. ##### Linda R.

Nearby there are nice towns like Henley-on-Thames and Marlow for shopping and dining. ##### Jan P. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon O. 19 Dec 2018 #### Amazing gem in quintessentially English village We had one of the best weeks away ever - Turville is beautiful and so is the cottage. Comfortable beds, lovely shower, wood burning stove and a sweet garden across the pathway - couldn’t ask for more! Its well equipped and of course for such an historical property very cosy which adds to the charm. One of the best things is being away from everything, there is wifi although mobile phone reception was vague at times so we arranged to have our calls diverted to the property which accepts incoming calls no problem. Nearest shops are a few miles away which also adds to the feeling of being able to get away from everything. We found out that Turville has been used in loads of films and television programs which isnt surprising as the village is pretty much the same as it would have been 400 years ago! There is a gorgeous church and fantastic pub which just adds to the charm of the place. We just didnt want to leave at the end of the week and cant wait to come back to stay again! Thank you so much for letting us share this amazing property. ##### Simon O. ### 8/10 Good #### John M. 21 Oct 2018 #### Cosy Cottage for Short Break Had three nights here for a short birthday holiday.

In many ways a great location - no city bustle in the village, but a short distance from nice country houses, the shopping village at Bicester, Henley, Marlow and Oxford. The cottage was comfortable, we slept well and we enjoyed the log fire. The hob was fine - although one burner didn't seem to work - and we didn't use the oven. Although early October it was a bit chilly, but we easily got the place nice and warm. However facilities are limited by the location - no 'phone signal and the TV was not really watchable. The pub is OK, but as the village has no street lights there is not much else you can do - although the upside is being able to see the stars. So great for a short break - I'm not sure we would have been so happy staying for a week - but the tranquility would suit many, I am sure. ##### John M.

Upstairs was ok but downstairs the lounge is awful. The settee & chairs smelled very musty & so uncomfortable to sit in - it was ikea type settee full size which smelled like been left out in the rain for weeks - the lounge itself felt dirty. The floor covering in the kitchen was folded in places rumpled & unsafe to walk on. We couldn’t wait to go home & I would never ever recommend this property. ##### Carol J.

It was a cosy, cute place to spend our time during a winter snowy weekend. The pub is the only 'shop‘ in town. Groceries are a few villages away. Two small bedrooms upstairs, with comfy beds & reasonable storage. Small living room with seating for 4\. Wood burning stove in open fireplace for atmosphere, as central heating in all the rooms kept us warm. Well equiped kitchen even though small. Lots of walking in all directions & great scenery when driving around. ##### Anita C.

Wonderful walks on the doorstep of this pretty little cottage. Several country pubs within easy walking distance and lots of interesting places to visit nearby. We spent a day at the Henley Literary Festival and enjoyed a beautiful riverside walk along the Thames Path. ##### Lynda N.
