"A group of ladies stayed for the weekend at Hare House , whilst the cottage is well equipped & clean I did feel it lacked certain elements you would expect when paying over £1,000 for a 3 night stay ."
Some of the decor is a bit dated , cracked tiles in bathroom window sill on middle floor , broken Roman blind in middle room took 2 of us to get down & just left it down for the whole weekend as it was so fiddly , no mirror in top bedroom , about 6 coat hangers in the whole 3 bedrooms ! The only hooks for coats in downstairs toilet did not allow for a long coat as the coat hook is placed over washing machine .
The outside space is facing out on to the main road , it is enclosed by hedges but there was a lot of traffic noise from the main . Also the garden was starting to get overgrown it had clearly not been attended to recently .
The parking as at booking I realise it did say there was no allocated space but felt there could make suggestions for local parking as a lot of the surrounding roads are double yellow lines & the free parking just up the road was for 12 hours only .
The location is very good for the shops , town & pubs . I realise my review sounds really picky but felt for the price things could be better .

"Positives: Perfect location, bedrooms of a good size and comfortable, bathrooms very nice."
Negatives: The house smells stale and it could not be overshadowed by candles and air freshener. Downstairs is small, not large enough for 6. The kitchen chairs are uncomfortable and it is cramped to eat in the kitchen. There is mould around the kitchen sink. We found a drinks bottle and sweet wrappers underneath one of the sofas. The downstairs toilet gets blocked easily.
Generally, the pictures look great in the marketing, but the house is not to the same standard as the advertising.
Very disappointing and we left early. We would not return.
Many thanks for taking the time to feedback on your stay at Hare House. We're very sorry about the cleanliness issues you experienced during your stay at Hare House. This is not the standard we expect our housekeepers to clean to. Therefore, this will be brought to the attention of the housekeeping team to ensure no future guests experience the same problem.

"A very comfortable and cosy location, the open fireplace was just wonderful."
All sites we visited in the Cotswolds were within easy driving distance. The parking is a little difficult, but we managed. Local shops and pubs were an short walk away. The company was very quick to respond to emails when we had questions and feedback. Would highly recommend.
We are so pleased you have had a lovely stay at Hare House.. thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Property Owner

"A few small things spoilt an otherwise lovely week."
There was sufficient room for four but six people would be a bit tight. There was no microwave, which surprised us. Similarly the absence of a cafetiere. The second floor bath looked 'cool' but I doubt if anyone has used it. Certainly the hand held shower would leave water all over the floor if you were brave enough to try it! Somewhere to hang clothes in the top bedroom would be helpful, too. A light near the key safe would help in that dark ally. Putting wine glasses on the wicker basket which doubled as a coffee table looked dodgy so we didn't! The people who fit out cottages should spend a minimum of two nights there so they know what works and what just looks 'cool'.
Apart from that everything was OK!
Thank you for your feedback. We will look in to all the issues raised. We hope to welcome you back to the area in the future. Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Lovely area, plenty of restaurants and cafes."
Parking was a bit of an issue but we were warned in advance so expected it on arrival. The photos of the cottage on your we site must have been taken quite a while ago as the bushes out front are much more established now. In respect of this , the downstairs of the property could do with some tlc, was shocked about the state of the walls and skirtings on entering. Confusing situation about the bins, could not find a recycling one, hence the main one was full when we left, sorry. Finally a table and chairs in the garden would have been welcome. Overall a good stay though.
Many thanks for your feedback on Hare House. We shall look at the issues raised and get these addressed. We aim for all of our guests to have the best possible experience during their stay. Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Great location close to shops, pubs and restaurants - loved the quirky rooms but mind low doorways."
It’s very clean and well appointed. Well equipped kitchen and large living room. Extra armchair would be useful for 6 people to be more comfortable.
Parking close to house not always possible but managed to find a space close by.
Try the Swan inn (Ascot under Wychwood ) superb food.
A Small table and chairs in the front garden would be a nice addition to sit outside.
Thank you for the great recommendation for the Swan Inn and for the comments on how we could improve the property. Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Lovely house."
Perfect for a winter break as it is so close to great pubs, restaurants and shops. We would thoroughly recommend it.
When we had a sight issue with hot water Manor Cottages were swift and courteous in sorting it out.
One tiny point - shame there wasn't even a tiny microwave.
Thank you for your feedback, we will pass your comments regarding the microwave onto the owners. Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a great location 1 minute walk from centre of village and 1 minute from park which with kids and dog was perfect."
Very clean and well maintained with comfy beds and amazing top en suite bedroom,
Very traditional which meant a little creaky and front room hard to heat up despite radiator and log burner. Property would also benefit from an iron.
welcome pack with cookies and (a good) bottle of prosecco was a very thoughtful touch.
Easy booking and check in and out although 4pm check in and 10am check out felt pretty tight and limited our time in the cottage which was a shame.
Thank you for you comments, w!are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Hare House. There is an iron at the property, we are sorry you couldn't find it and will leave instructions for future guests. Our check in and out times are 10am & 4pm to ensure the property is in top condition for the next guest. Property Owner

"Wonderful house very homely,everything you would want for when staying away."
Improve the front outside space and it would be perfect! Couldn’t find the baby high chair which was a pain and some check out instructions would have been useful. But a great stay and would happily stay again!

"The house itself was fine although could have been clearer, lots of dust on skirting boards base of taps grubby mats dirty and floors sticky."
As there was only the very small outside space at the front of the house we felt it could have made into a nice space to sit with some nice seating.
As things are at the moment I would not consider hare house a 5 star rental.
Firstly thank you for choosing Hare House and we are extremely sorry that the cleanliness was not up to our usual standard.
In relation to the outside space at the front, as you state it is very small and it is felt as it is open to a busy main road, seating out there would generally not be used by guests. There is a bench out the front if guests do wish to sit outside. Property Owner

"Cottage is in an excellent position right in the centre of town and really easy to get everywhere using Chipping Norton as your base."
Also found the bus service to Oxford very cheap and convenient.
The cottage was lovely - just a few minor niggles. The lounge could do with another easy chair - for six the two sofas are not sufficient. Not enough pillows for each person to have two each. We were lucky with car parking but it is not as easy on the street as Manor Cottages led me to believe when I specifically asked!
Overall it was a great house and would return.
