) and it was great that the owner supplied logs, kindling and all the necessary. The lounge lacked any side tables to put a cup / glass on but we managed. Great having a dishwasher and I donât go on holiday to do laundry so donât care about no washing machine, however, I love to cook and found some things a bit challenging without a microwave, also no potato peeler or cheese grater! Otherwise, though, it was well equipped with top quality cookware and crockery. I resisted the temptation to lift a couple of my favourite halo Denby plates on departure! Do take note re the tricky stairs, I didnât struggle but my mum was super cautious and wished there were more hand rails. Overall a lovely spot to stay and having Blenheim Palace Park literally outside the back of the cottage was great for dog walks.

The beds were very comfortable. The bedding & towels were of a high standard. The biscuits, milk & the cleaning box were a nice touch. However the stairs were very challenging even for someone who had no mobility issues. There was no iron or ironing board so could not iron creased clothes due to them being in a suitcase. The parking was also an issue as you could find yourself boxed in & very little room to manoeuvre your car. Overall we enjoyed our stay & the location of the cottage was good as you could walk into Woodstock & to explore the lovely villages of the Cotswolds.

Location was great a gate just a short distance from the property. We would definitely be returning if we didnât live so far!
