Wheatley has all the facilities to meet your immediate needs - 2 foodstores, baker, coffee shop, post office, bank and choice of restaurants and pubs. The village has a long history through it's location on the main coaching route from London to Oxford - it was once descibed as the most agreeable stopping place between Beaconsfield and Woodstock.

Charming cottage

we loved the location of this charming cozy cottage in the small village outside of Oxford. It had everything we needed except for soap for the bath/shower. Easy short walk to the store, bakeries and Indian restaurant was convenient.

Lovely rural cottage/loft close to Oxford

The stone cottage was perfect for 3 of us. We spent most of our days in Oxford, and this was lovely to come home to. Neat cafe up the road to grab breakfast and coffee from. Shops/restaurants/pubs are also nearby.

We keep coming back

This is probably our 9th or 10th stay here, it is such a home away from home in a lovely village, but also with great access via the bus to Oxford. We even went to London for the day this time which was very simple.
