Oxford Get-away

Overall, really nice accommodations. Very convenient to Oxford, 15 mins to main area. Only comment, is that the showers were a little tight.

Great place to stay close to Oxford and other sites!

This was a great place to stay if you want a quiet place in the beautiful countryside - plenty of space to spread out with a family of 6! We loved using the hot tub after long days of sightseeing. It was a great location for hopping into Oxford (10-15 min.) and to drive over to Windsor castle and Stonehenge. The train is about 10 minutes away to make day trips to London! Great place for a group or family! Plus there are a couple pubs with good food just a couple minutes away or lots of restaurants in Oxford.

On arrival the rooms were cold. Host had only just put thermostat on prior to our arrival and the rooms took a few hours to heat, some radiators did not work throughout our stay. Dishwasher had been left for us to unload.Cleaning was not to a good standard resulting in us hoovering some rooms ourselves. TV stopped working due to batteries in control running out at 9pm and on calling the Host we were told that we would have to go out and get batteries ourselves or wait until the morning. also the radiators which were not working could not be dealt with until the next day (we were only there for 3 days)! The Host then went on to say that we had not paid alot of money for the Cottage since it normally rented for alot more! We had paid a substantial amount of money. There was no flexibility with early check in and late check out. In the end we checked out 1 hour late and had to pay the Host payment in cash. The showers are very small and water pressure was very poor also no floor towels provided. We were also told that, if the hot water ran out it was because we were showering for too long.The kitchen/living space and garden/hot tub were the best parts of the accommodation.Unfortunately, due to the issues mentioned above and the Host's attitude and rudeness we would not stay here again or use Vrbo again.For the inconvenience which we were caused we would have hope that the Host would have offered us the late checkout payment back as a gesture of goodwill.

大変広く、設備も問題なかったです。子供と滞在しましたが、ジャグジーや、ミニビリヤードなど、楽しむことができました!車があればとても便利で、オックスフォードやコッツウォルズなどいろんなところに行くことができるでしょう。ヒースロー空港までも1時間くらいです。歩いて行けるところにイギリス料理のレストランがあり、とても美味しいしフレンドリーでした。

About the host

Host profile image
I have lived in Oxford most of my life. I love this beautiful city and can help you get to know it and get around. I have been renting out holiday properties for 20 years and being a great traveller myself I have got to know what works as a longer term or even a weekend short let..

Why they chose this property

Oxford is a small city and Bayworth sits on the edge of it with easy access to the city centre and to Blenheim and the Cotswolds.

What makes this property unique

Very private quiet location but easy to reach everything with a short car/tax ride. Lovely private garden, with hot tub and plenty of sociable space.
