Miss Stapleton
October 2020

“The clealings was the perfect place for a long weekend away.”

We stayed as a group of 6 friends, it was extremely clean on arrival and there was more than enough room for us all. It was a short trip into Oxford and supermarket only 5 mins away. You didn’t need to get into the car to go for a short walk in the country. The games room was great fun! We had a lovely weekend there, highly recommend!

Mr Notay October 2020

“The cottage was clean, modern and a great place to rest for a few days with the family.”

We had a wonderful stay and it was a good base for us to then visit local attractions and to go on lovely walking trails.

Mrs Massingham October 2020

“Most importantly the cottage was sparkling!”

Fiona (the owner) was amazing, we had visited Bletchley Park on the day we arrived and really wanted to watch The Imitation Game but hadn't bought the DVD. Within 5 minutes of asking Fiona whether there was Netflix a bag appeared on our doorstep with not only The Imitation Game but a large selection of brand new blockbuster videos which kept us entertained all week. There was plenty of wood and kindling for the log burner. All the appliances worked perfectly. The instructions given to rentee's were user friendly and sensible. The location was excellent and the directions to find the cottage also excellent. One of the highlights was watching the Red Kite's in the late afternoon swooping over the garden - I wouldn't be surprised if this was organised by Fiona too! All in all a wonderful week of peace, rest and no Covid anxiety.

- Mrs Massingham, October 2020

What a lovely review! It sounds as though you had the most wonderful time! Fiona is super and we will pass on your comments to her. Thank you! Sykes owner relations

The home baked cakes were appreciated. There was so much that you could do. The games room was a bonus, also all the games to play and DVDs if you wanted to watch them. My grandchildren said can we all come back again, they throughly enjoyed it. It was a lovely way to celebrate my 70th birthday.

Mrs Fedden

“It was a stunning property in a stunning location.”

There wasn't anything the owner hadn't thought of. The cakes and welcome basket on arrival was a really thoughtful touch too!! We would definitely return and I know a number of us have already recommended the property to friends.

- Mrs Fedden,
Mrs Mitchell

“The cottage was immaculate and very well-equipped.”

The layout really suited a large group and we didn't feel on top of each other at all. Very well sound-proofed, especially in protecting adults' sleep in from early morning interruption by small children. Having three toilets was great too. The land surrounding it was stunning. Even in waterlogged January it was brilliant to have such a vast garden to roam in. The separate TV room was great for the children too. The cottage was very warm and snug. The owner was quick to respond when we ran out of various things. Wifi too!

Fothergill

“We have typically stayed in two cottages per year for many years and this is probably the best so far.”

The cottage was spacious, had modern fittings, styled to our taste and very well equipped. The fantastic welcome pack surpassed any expectations and the great games room got plenty of use (aside from the pool table the cottage had loads of games, books and dvds). Massive plot and a helpful, friendly owner. Mr Fothergill, April 2017.

- Fothergill,

We explored Oxford and some colleges, hired a canal boat for a day and spent 6 lovely hours on the Oxford canal, visited Bletchley Park and also went for a hike on the Ridgeway to the Uffington White Horse. We ate out at a couple of nice restaurants in Witney but also cooked a few meals in the lovely kitchen. It had pretty much everything we needed and the the owner also left us some yummy cakes and treats - very kind!

The property

What a view!

The Clealings is quite literally in the middle of a field!

The property enjoys open views from all rooms across huge gardens and fields beyond which wrap around this predominantly single storey holiday cottage.

Inside the owners (who also own the very popular and successful Home Farm down the road/across the fields!) have created a contemporary and sleek home with large rooms throughout making it perfect for families who fancy kicking back and having a good break.

For the competitive there is a pool table in the games room plus an extra TV if you find the competition too hot to handle.

Either way, it gives the parents a break!

As you'd expect you'll be inundated with wildlife - owls, pheasants, deer, muntjak plus a host of rare birds.

A great choice.
