"Very comfy house and well appointed."
Location great for activities for all ages from soft play and pool in Bicester, Story Museum in Oxford, National Trust houses and gardens to the Silverstone Race Circuit. There is a nice local walk from the house in the woodland behind and there's a good playground for kids in Middleton Stoney 5 minutes walk away across a field.

"I would like to say the cottage is beautiful everything you could possibly need for your stay."
just a few points the property was not clean on arrival and there appeared to be a problem with the drains, and the door lock system was difficult to lock when leaving to go out anywhere. There is also a main road going past which i think should be mentioned.

"We had a lovely stay at Dewars cottage."
The place is really child friendly and don't feel this is highlighted enough. There were so many toys, games and books for them. Plus all the outside play equipment.
The kitchen is well stocked and really comfortable.
Dear Nicola,
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to found it kid friendly, this was our family home for our 3 small kids, so we know how important it is to have things to entertain them.
We hope to have you around again soon. Have a wonderful rest of the year and a lovely holiday season.
All the best!

"Excellent stay."
We think the kitchen was lacking sufficient cutlery, glasses and crockery for the adults.
Would benefit from replacement mattresses on 3 of the 4 the single beds.
Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. We will take this onboard and take action regarding the crockery and cutlery.
We hope you enjoyed your stay!

"Comfortable stay."
Felt that could have done with more cups, glasses plates, cutlery etc. Disappointed that not able to use hot tub Friday night due to not being warm enough.
Dear Guest, I am sorry that the hot tub was not warm enough for you to use. We change the water between each booking for higiene reasons so I trust you can find the benefit in that.
I will take the rest of your feedback on board and add some more crockery and cutlery to the kitchen. We hope you enjoined your stay!

"A well equipped kitchen."
Plenty of room for everyone to eat together.
Would have used the outside space more but weather was awful whilst we were there. Nice and warm in side which was good.
Only negative was busy road but it didn't effect our stay.

"Great house in a lovely area."
Three generations of our family had a lovely time enjoying the house garden and hot tub. Garden enclosed so we felt reasonably safe leaving our medium sized dog to roam the garden freely, but you are close to a fast road so need some caution. Plenty of kitchen equipment, comfortable beds etc. The hot water was a bit hit and miss but we found the extra hour on the system worked well. Totally flooded the downstairs shower room one day (which went in to the kitchen) but owners are trying to sort the problem, when we contacted them. Would recommend you only have 1 shower and leave plenty of time before using it again. 2 other showers upstairs, so not an issue.
Overall a great house which we would recommend.

"Firstly, thank you we had a fantastic week in the cottage."
We were so lucky with the weather and the outdoor space and play areas were brilliant for the grandchildren. The cottage itself was beautiful and the decor was lovely. The only negatives were that we couldn't turn the lights off at the bottom of the stairs, none of the light switches would turn it off. When we arrived we found a single half a bread stick in the fridge along with a half bottle of water that had been drunk from. When one of our party reclined the sofa the footrest was ingrained with crumbs and debris in the creases and there was a large shard of glass underneath from a broken glass. The final thing was that it should be mentioned about the proximity to a busy road as this can be heard through the night if you need the windows to be open and is constant traffic throughout the day making it difficult to get out from the driveway due to it being on a bend. As previous guests also mentioned the ground floor shower room does flood so we only used that once and then used the upstairs bathrooms. This is just a couple of negatives to let you know about but this didn't impact on our stay at all and 2 Dewars Farm Cottage is a beautiful property.
Thank you for your feedback, we did pass this information to the cleaning team and we are really sorry this happened.
We have tried to put a road mirror on the exit but the local council doesn’t not allow this to be in main roads.
The noise is outside of our control, the house seats in a lovely balance between having greenery and privacy from every angle but the compromise is the road.
The bathroom downstairs is constantly having the pipes released to make sure the water flows properly, but the key is to not leave the water running constantly in between shampooing to allow the water to drain, another small quirk of a small country cottage, as much as we have renovated it there are some limitations.
I am glad you did have a good time at the property and enjoyed yourself. We hope to have you coming again soon.

"1. Hot tub had slimy scum/dirt at water line on walls of hot tub after first use."
2. Had to pick up 5 dog dirt piles that had been there for sometime and then hose the patio to clear dog dirt marks.
3. Kettle is useless - took me 5 minutes to get he led display to work.
4. Cutlery and crockery had food marks on some of them. Had to wash everything before use.
5. House was riddled with cobwebs and spiders. Took 10 minutes to hover all up - this should have been done before our arrival - freaked the children out.

"Lovely house with walks straight from the garden."
Perfect for visiting Oxford and the Cotswolds. There was an issue with the downstairs shower which tended to flood but other than that it is very comfortable. The Old Flight House, the Milk Shed (cafes) and the Chequers (pub) all do great food and are within four miles of the house.

"Great cottage."
Very clean and comfortable. Lovely furnishings and great outside space. A shame there isn’t more seating in the living room to accommodate all the people staying. Sofa seats 3-4 with one additional chair. There were 7 of us staying so some had to sit on the floor for the evening. Only problem we had was with the downstairs bathroom. The floor is uneven so during showering all the water ran under the toilet and sat in a big puddle and some went under the kitchen floor. All necessary tools where there for us to clear up but it’s worth putting a sign up so people know! We didn’t use this bathroom for the rest of the stay so it didn’t flood again.

"The property and grounds are large and spacious and ideal for up to eight people plus a dog."
Beds are very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The garden has lots to do and the jacuzzi / hot tub is brilliant fun and was a good temperature when we arrived (32C). Lots of nice towels and good quality bedding. The ground floor shower room / toilet was very handy and the washing machine and tumble dryer very good quality.
However, there are some problems. The oil fired boiler 'trips' and needs to be reset at least once a day (probably needs a service) and the only indicator is the temperature dropping or no hot water. Some consumable products like liquid soap, dishwasher tabs, washing detergent are minimally provided, so guests need to bring their own or go shopping. The chemicals in the hot tub seemed a little 'strong' on the skin and evaporating in the air. The ground floor shower cubicle leaked quite a bit so needed moping after use. Barely enough cutlery when eating in.
Overall we had a great family weekend and would recommend this holiday cottage and would return again.

"A fantastic property - Big and spacious and perfect for our family of 9."
The property is located in an amazing location with easy access to motorways, but once you drive through the gates you feel like you're in the middle of the countryside. The house is clean and modern and it is clear a lot of thought has been put into décor. Hot tub was big and very clean and was used often, even in December weather! We had a truly relaxing time and hope to return again. Thank you!

"Hi, We really enjoyed our stay, and it is a lovely, well appointed property."
Just a couple of pointers that would be useful;
Could do with clearer instructions regarding how to deal with the rubbish/recycling? Unfortunately, not all local authorities deal with such things in the same manner.
Also, notwithstanding that the instructions were in a folder, we couldn't get to operate the Rayburn oven? Some user friendly guide would be very handy.
