Also close by is the former Dashwood Estate, including National Trust-run West Wycombe Park, the Dashwood Mausoleum and the notorious Hellfire Caves.

Matthew
Very clean and well equipped. Host was very helpful and friendly. Quiet village, pub at one end of the road and coffee shop at the other end both had excellent food. Was an excellent base for day trips in the local area and further afield, but we also spent some quieter days sitting in the garden and having a walk to the park.

.quickly rectified. No waste bin in downstairs bedroom or en-suite ..queried with owner. Lack of hand towels for everyone , where ever we have stayed before there has been 1 per guest plus extra in communal cloakroom. Grass needs cutting ! the shower in the downstairs en-suite is very slow draining , need to stand in the shower and wait for it to drain before opening the door or run the risk of flooding the floor. its the little niggly things that can make a big difference .overall a pleasant property .

The hosts were extremely considerate and all bathrooms had liquid hand wash dispenser and shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The kitchen had most anything you need to assist you cook like oils and salts and spices. Furthermore the kitchen was equipped with most equipment u may need and even what seemed like an air fryer which I didnât use. The cottage is very new and it is apparent. The beds were comfortable and the furniture was nicely organized and tasteful. The neighborhood was quiet with a nicely sized playground near by and a supermarket and pub all within walking distance. The closeness to London (exactly 1 hour driving to central London) is a great advantage. There is only one good sized tv in the kitchen living area, and there is projected in the cinema room which we would have personally preferred to be a Normal tv due to the darkness of the display. Overall the stay was great and I would highly recommend the place and seriously consider renting it again.
