Oxford. C16th Cottage In Courtyard Setting. Garden. Parking. Free Wifi.

Set in the courtyard of our own home, but completely separate and private, Gadbury Cottage is cosy and very comfortable whether your choice is for a winter or summer break. It offers an ideal location to discover Oxford and the nearby attractions of Oxford City, Blenheim Palace, Shotover Park, Waterperry Gardens, Otmoor nature reserve, the Chilterns and Cotswolds Hills. Wheatley has all the facilities to meet your immediate needs - 2 foodstores, baker, coffee shop, post office, bank and choice of restaurants and pubs. The village has a long history through it's location on the main coaching route from London to Oxford - it was once descibed as the most agreeable stopping place between Beaconsfield and Woodstock. Today it's transport links are still excellent being just 2 miles from the Thornhills Park and Ride and a similar distance from the M40. There are regular bus services to Oxford and to Haddenham/Thame train station. Central London is c53 miles and Heathrow c45 miles, both have good public transport links.

Lovely little cottage , we found it easily. Clean and tidy , had all we needed with the exception of a tea towel but I’m sure if we’d asked that would have been fourth coming. Plenty of logs etc for the fire, which we made the most of just because we don’t have one in our flat. Heating is perfectly adequate. Comfortable bed, plenty of storage if staying longer. Bus stop 2 minutes away to get into Oxford which we used everyday. Lovely bakery, coffee shop and co-op in village. Over all a peaceful and enjoyable weekend.

Perfect location for Oxford and Thame with fabulous 400 bus service connecting both. Great meals at The Black Horse in Thame and Sunday lunch at The Kings Arms in Wheatley. Gadbury Cottage perfectly situated for both and visiting Waterperry Gardens and Althorpe House an hours drive away The cottage was clean, comfortable and met all our needs including a small private garden with loungers which we made good use of on a rest day whilst the weather was good. Hosts were friendly and gave good advice re local transport services. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone considering a stay in this area.

This cottage was perfect for our family of 3. Located in a charming village with great bus links into Oxford, we enjoyed the local pub for dinner, Waterperry Gardens to see the snowdrops, and having everything we needed in the cottage to make our stay easy. Communication with the owner was timely and easy. We loved learning about the history of the property and the village. We have already recommended to friends and if we find ourselves needing to stay in the area again, it will be our first choice .

This is probably our 9th or 10th stay here, it is such a home away from home in a lovely village, but also with great access via the bus to Oxford. We even went to London for the day this time which was very simple.
