Great stay
Ended the week very relaxed. Very quiet, beautiful cottage and the hot tub was to die for. Loads of nature around us and some amazing walks across fields and down country lanes and bridle ways. Very close to Oxford which was handy. Eynsham Coop and wine merchant was useful as well. only suggestion is that man in road into Oxford is constantly busy so Swinford tool bridge is useful although remember your 5p crossing fee!

Lovely winter cottage stay
Our family stayed at Brook Cottage to make a weekend of the Christmas Light Trail at Blenheim Palace. It's well located and relatively easy to find. Short drive or nice amble to the local village of Eynsham, and within easy reach of the M40. The cottage itself is very nicely decorated and was very clean on our arrival. Rooms are a decent size and the beds were comfy. A few of our party braved the hot tub as well which was a nice treat! There were a few details which could be improved upon - for example, there was a large damp patch in the corridor from a previous guest flooding the shower, but we weren't made aware of this prior to our arrival. We felt that there could have been more basic condiments provided in the kitchen (eg oil, salt, sugar, pepper, which are fairly standard in most holiday lets). There were no hand towels in the bathroom and there weren't enough bath towels provided on our arrival (to be fair this was rectified as soon as we asked). The dining chairs in the kitchen appeared to be those normally used in wedding marquees, which was a little odd. Also there weren't quite enough wine glasses...! The property manager Sarah was a very responsive communicator, allowing us to have a late check out and making sure we had towels delivered when there weren't initially enough provided. Overall, a good stay, with a few little niggles which we wouldn't have expected for the price we paid for the weekend.

Wonderfully refreshing stay
Lovely property. We had a long weekend stay at the property and it was perfect. Kids loved the hot tub, adults loved the large kitchen table, and dog loved the long circular walk down to the Thames and back. Host was quick with a couple of requests re towels, and very understanding when said dog managed to escape from her lead and cause some distress. Really enjoyed staying here.

6/10 Okay

Disappointing
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a very good time and were disappointed with the condition of the cottage. Prior to arrival we had been told that the BBQ wasn’t working. Then, while at the cottage the dishwasher didn’t work and, after being told it would be fixed asap, it remained unfixed for the duration of our stay. We also noted that the fridge wasn’t working properly (the milk went sour) and this was also not looked at. The kitchen wasn’t comfortable to sit in as a family as the table was uneven and the chairs were dirty and uncomfortable. All this meant that we didn’t utilise the kitchen very much and ate out more that we had planned to. The overall level of cleanliness wasn’t up to our expectations and there were also broken glass bits outside, that our son picked up and disposed of. Between having to wash everything by hand, not being able to utilise the kitchen much, worrying about food going off in the fridge, having to take out the bins (on bin collection day and at checkout) and stripping the beds - we felt that our stay was not good value for money and wasn’t the relaxing getaway we had been looking forward to. Very disappointing.
