It is very well appointed and has everything you need for a holiday and more. It is in an ideal location, close to Witney which has plenty of places to eat and drink, and close to Oxford.

It is the original Office of the busy working beef cattle farm, which is a family run business. We met the owner, Claire and her Dad who were both were very pleasant and welcoming. The accommodation has a mixture of the modern and traditional and was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return.
