Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Spacious and modern but with a country feel. Situated on a stud farm which made it great seeing the horses and other farm animals. Ideal for our mountain bike holiday. Local market town of Wantage had plenty to keep us entertained as well.

Really spacious and clean. It was a perfect holiday cottage for the family. My toddler loved watching the horses and tractors outside the house. There were ducks and other farm animals which were really entertaining.

A fantastic location with plenty of beautiful scenery. Kites, hares and deer a regular feature as well as the gorgeous horses ( and new foal). Lots of room to relax and warm and cosy downstairs. Plenty of room for the seven adults who were there. A couple of the bedrooms need a little update but the downstairs bedroom and en-suite was very comfortaRead moreble as was the twin room. Underfloor heating was great! Lots of things to see and do, so a great base. Had a lovely week. Hide
