A little further afield is the university city of Oxford, with all its historic buildings, architecture and museums.

A cosy cottage, convenient for many attractions. We found The Elephant & Castle pub next door very handy and did not experience any noise from it. There are also two other pubs within a 5 minute walk and we enjoyed an evening meal at both. The complimentary brewery tour at Hook Norton was a welcome addition.

The cottage was well stocked with everything you need & so nice & cosy, at this time of year.! It was very clean, & dust free. The location is very good, close to towns but also accessible to the countryside.
