The house is light and characterful, with beautiful Cotswold stone, and has recently undergone extensive refurbishment.

60th Birthday
We had the most enjoyable weekend at Pigeon’s Piece for my wife’s 60th birthday. The property was immaculate, and such a wonderful social space for quality time with family and friends. The owner has clearly put a lot of love into this house, with lots of nice touches and a very detailed guide. It’s also perfectly located, with such an easy trip to all the local attractions such as Blenheim and lots of great walks from the house itself. Overall, a very very special place for a weekend away and we cannot wait for another excuse to come back.

A gorgeous place for a post-Xmas getaway
We were two families with 3 small kids at Pigeons' Piece and we had a great time. Ample space for the kids to play inside and a lovely kitchen/dining area at the heart of the house. Really comfy beds, incredibly clean and stylish and a super attentive pair of hosts in Tim & Kirstie for which nothing was a problem. We'd thoroughly recommend. Our only sadness was not coming in the summer - whilst winter brings its own delights, the garden (front and back) would have been lovely for the kids (and us) in warmer weather!

Wonderful in every respect!
We rented Pigeon’s Piece for two months April & May 2023 for a ‘country retreat’ and revision haven for our daughter during A levels. It was that and SO MUCH more. We enjoyed the friendly village vibe, warm and welcoming church, proximity to Woodstock and Blenheim palace, the beautiful cycles and walks, great nearly restaurants and pubs, peaceful setting and garden. Rain or shine, Pigeon’s Peace provided us a sanctuary for rest and a launch pad for fun. The owners are SUPER responsive and the cleaner is lovely and thorough. It has everything you could want. We hope to come again!
