Oxford. C16th Cottage In Courtyard Setting. Garden. Parking. Free Wifi.

Set in the courtyard of our own home, but completely separate and private, Gadbury Cottage is cosy and very comfortable whether your choice is for a winter or summer break. It offers an ideal location to discover Oxford and the nearby attractions of Oxford City, Blenheim Palace, Shotover Park, Waterperry Gardens, Otmoor nature reserve, the Chilterns and Cotswolds Hills. 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. Today it's transport links are still excellent being just 2 miles from the Thornhills Park and Ride and a similar distance from the M40. There are regular bus services to Oxford and to Haddenham/Thame train station. Central London is c53 miles and Heathrow c45 miles, both have good public transport links.

Charming cottage with easy access to public transportation.
This historic cottage was just what I was looking for: charming setting, clean home, friendly and responsive host, and easy access to restaurants and pubs nearby as well as public transportation. We toured the surrounding area (Oxford, Avebury, Cotswalds) and loved returning to our quiet little house at the end of the day. Wheatley was a great village. Thank you Jenny for being so accommodating and satisfying our specific needs!

What I was looking for
It had many aspects that made staying inside comfortable and it had everything I was looking for which was listed. I think the pricing for all the stuff we were given is pretty good too. The host was also great at timely communication to make sure my stay was comfortable.

Modernised, traditional property
The property is well presented and maintained. It is not large. I was staying alone but feel it would be cramped with 3 adults but fine for a couple or couple with child. The area is very nice with good local shops within walking distance. There is a very good bus service to Oxford - every 10 mins or so and this runs well into the evening so an evening in Oxford would be possible. The local Waterperry Gardens are also worth a visit.

Oxford send off
Hosts were accommodating. Cottage was as advertised more than comfortable for my son and I. Kings Arms had fantastic food. Convenient services close to cottage. Bus line directly to City Center Oxford. Parking more than ample and much recommended.
