We really enjoyed our stay here- the location was lovely and it is opposite a great pub. We spent time relaxing in the garden and found lots of nice places to visit nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Cottage suited a 3 generation family well . Lounge room seating could be improved and leaving basic supplies like toilet paper would be convenient. Some bed pillows need replacing but othwise a great stay for a family

Cosy cottage in a lovely quiet village
We stayed at this cottage whilst exhibiting at Silverstone and we weren't disappointed. The cottage was comfortable and spacious with a pretty cottage garden. The bathroom was really large and well fitted out as was the kitchen. The bedrooms were perfect for us. There was an excellent pub opposite. Tracey was really helpful. We would certainly stay here again.

Why they chose this property

My name is Tracy and my husband Paul and I bought Waterside Cottage in 2003 as our main home. We fell in love with the cottage because the location is so tranquil and you can forget about the hassle and bustle of normal everyday life completely. We bought the property from an elderly gentleman who had lived there for many years. We spent a long time restoring the cottage and gardens, replacing the kitchen and bathroom and making the cottage comfortable, cosy and relaxing. We have recently decided to take bookings from holiday makers as we have moved north for work purposes and so will not be using the cottage. In spite of the rural location there is so much to do in the area to suit all tastes and it is also a great place to relax and recharge your batteries!

What makes this property unique

The cottage is set in a very pretty village which has a rural setting yet it is very close to the market town of Bicester and only a 15 minute drive from Oxford. The village has the best of both worlds as you feel that you are away from the crowds but all the amenities you need are only a short distance away.
This spacious character cottage has a wonderful welcoming feel to it. It is surrounded by beautiful trees, colourful flowers and has a lovely little stream running past the front garden. The Red Lion Pub is just across the road if you would like to stay local to enjoy the food and drink that the pub has to offer. The convenient location of the cottage to the motorways and main roads however means that you can also leave the village and explore what the beautiful county has to offer.
