“We really enjoyed our stay at The Hemmel.”

The cottage itself, was very clean, tidy and first impressions from us all on entering the accommodation, was 'wow'. We loved the style and decor of the cottage, which was unique and one of the nicest we have stayed in. The central heating was more than adequate, but we also used the log burner on the cold nights to give that warm, cosy feeling. The four poster bed, in the main ensuite room with the standalone bath was great. It was so quiet in the surrounding area, that we slept solidly all ...

The cottage itself, was very clean, tidy and first impressions from us all on entering the accommodation, was 'wow'. We loved the style and decor of the cottage, which was unique and one of the nicest we have stayed in. The central heating was more than adequate, but we also used the log burner on the cold nights to give that warm, cosy feeling. The four poster bed, in the main ensuite room with the standalone bath was great. It was so quiet in the surrounding area, that we slept solidly all night through on each of the 4 nights. Our own parking right outside the gate, made it easy to unpack. Ample cooking utensils, as we ate in on a few nights and cooked breakfast before going out daily to different locations. The Hemmel is ideally situated to visit the small surrounding towns, which have small markets worth visiting and for the bigger cities such as Oxford. The attached games room, was an added bonus and was also well used by us. All in all, a perfect stay.

“After rearranging our Easter week to a week in August, due to Covid, we stayed during one of the hottest weeks.”

The cottage was lovely with high end stuff. Upon arrival we were met with the owner who presented us with some lovely pink fizz and chocolates for the children. The cottage was clean and we had fresh eggs waiting for us in the kitchen. The children enjoyed the games room, which felt a little cooler when it’s was very warm in the hot weather.

We are pleased to hear you were able to rearrange your stay and were able to enjoy The Hemmel. The games room is very popular with children. Sykes owner relations

“The cottage was in a perfect location and all appliances were high specification.”

It must have been stunning when it was first done, however it is now looking tired. For a high end cottage that wasn’t cheap for January we didn’t expect to find peeling wallpaper, lifted wooden flooring and a very rocky sofa. Seeing as we’d been told the property was free the week before we would have expected it to be cleaner. Cobwebs, dirty skirting boards and a used tissue in the lounge. We expected to be wowed by the property but were a little disappointed. With a little TLC and some new furnishings it could be amazing.

Thank you for your feedback. We have passed your comments onto the owner. Unfortunately there had been a leak under the floor which has now been fixed. Since your feedback the owner has implemented quality checks. Manor Cottages. Sykes owner relations

The property

Once again this owner has used her unique (and quirky!) style to create a stunning holiday property.

This cottage really does have everything you could want or need.

Located in a quiet corner of Oxfordshire and on the edge of a classic country village (Little Coxwell).

The Hemmel, situated in the grounds of the owner's stunning farmhouse is filled with classic character - from the exposed beams and stone walls, to the original well (safely 'capped') located in the courtyard garden.

The interior is cool and contemporary and provides luxurious accommodation: the twin bedroom and separate family shower room are simply but very tastefully presented.

However, the standout feature in this lovely cottage has to be the master bedroom suite, where you can laze in the glorious roll top bath in the corner of the bedroom and admire the Oxfordshire countryside in the fields surrounding the cottage.

The cottage represents the perfect choice for families or friends looking to get away from it all.

On the doorstep you have wonderful walks, and a highly regarded pub serving terrific food in the village.

If you prefer to prepare your own then you have 3 supermarkets less than 2 miles from the cottage.

With Oxford about 25 mins drive away and the shoppers paradise of MacArthur Glen 30 mins away, you have got everything for a great break in a superb self catering home.

If additional accommodation is required, The Hemmel can be booked along with The Linhay (988824) to give enough space for 10 guests in 5 bedrooms.
