  • "We very much enjoyed our stay in West barn."

    The barn is very comfortable,spacious and spotlessly clean. It's stands in the most idyllic location surrounded by woodland and all its wildlife,perfect for walking our little dog. West barn is very well equipped and has everything you could possibly need for a peaceful and comfortable holiday. An idea base for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds and surrounding areas. Can't recommend West barn enough,it's SUPERB!

    We are delighted that you loved your stay in West Barn and you and your dog enjoyed walking in the beautiful surroundings. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "Nice quiet location."

    The surrounding woodland was lovely to walk in and lovely to see various wildlife. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well but we found the sofa very uncomfortable and uneven. Fridge was listed as having freezer compartment but there wasn't one. The cleanliness could have been better, cobwebs in bedroom and dressing table mirror was dirty, cobwebs on kitchen walls and dust on cooker hood and dirty mirror in cloakroom.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay in this location but sorry to hear that the cleanliness was not up to our usual high standards. Your comments have been passed on to the owner, who will address the cleanliness comments. We hope this didn't impact your stay. There is a separate freezer provided in the property.

    It was immaculate and so well equipped and the bed was blissfully comfortable. The owners were very friendly but didn't intrude upon us at all. What a fantastic welcome when we arrived to find a lovely hand written card wishing us an enjoyable stay, a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge and some chocolates on the kitchen table. What more could you ask for! The setting of the barn was incredible, next to the main house within a beautiful private estate, so quiet and peaceful but well positioned for access to both Oxford and the Oxfordshire countryside and villages.

We loved being able to wander through the peace and quiet of the beautiful woods with our dog and see so much wildlife right on the doorstep. Re the previous comment about the bathroom, we found it perfectly comfortable. Great to have a separate 2nd toilet too.

  • "Lovely location, idilic setting."

    Kind & thoughtful welcome greeting to include wine & chocolate. Considering the size of the bathroom a much more relaxing size bath and shower would have been appreciated. Water temperature inconsistent and the pressure too made for a very uncomfortable shower time. We would recommend but wouldn’t return ourselves as an enclosed area for our dog to have freedom to roam would be our preference.

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at West Barn. It is set back in such lovely setting and it's a very popular choice with guests. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about the size of the bath at the cottage, it's just a standard bath size. With regards to the water, can i ask if you spoke to the owner about this, as I'm sure they would have been happy to look at it for you?. With regards to having an enclosed garden, your correct it doesn't have this, but we would be happy to advise you on another property for another future bookings, when you have an enclosed garden for your dog. We hope you managed to have a lovely stay and made the most of the wonderful places to visit. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner

    Really enjoyed staying there.

    Mrs Newlove

  • "Everything was perfect."

    Mrs Souch - Cumbria

  • "A fantastic and perfect house for two people."

    Everything we could wish for was there. Very cosy and good comfort with modern fascilities. Beautiful surroundings for us and our dog, and good location for visiting cotswold villages and Oxford. The owners are also very friendly and made us feel very welcome, and especially on day of arrival with cake and wine. We felt so much at home, and were a bit sad to leave. So we hope to return.

  • "The cottage had everything we needed, and was decorated and maintained to an exceptionally high level."

    Mr Leppard, April 2017.

    Leppard

  • "Gorgeous cottage, lovely environment, only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 was just that I hadn't expected there to be no basic supplies, such as tea and coffee."

    Other places I've stayed have provided a few basics, but luckily there was a little shop nearby and I could go and stock up.

    Havard

  • "Excellent cottage in beautiful location."

    If there is any criticism it is to say that there were a significant number of cobwebs and some were unfortunately in the bedroom - next to the bedside cabinets etc and needed out attention!!

At the end of the day, you can crawl into a spacious king-size bed, or twin beds depending on your preference, and enjoy a good night's sleep in this lovely countryside setting.

Outside has a stone area with furniture provided, a lovely spot to sit out and enjoy the afternoon sun.

About the location

TACKLEY

Woodstock 3 miles; Bicester 11 miles; Oxford 14 miles.

Tackley is a picturesque village situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, approx 8 miles north of Oxford and 3 miles from Woodstock, home of Blenheim Palace. The name Tackley is derived from 'tack' which means sheep or ewe and 'ley' which means glade or clearing! The village is very pretty, has a good village shop and a local pub The Gardiner Arms. There is another pub just outside the village called Sturdy's Castle.

Nearby there are some superb attractions to visit. Rousham Hall is very close by and although there are restrictions to visiting etc, it is a beautiful stately home. Oxford,'The city of the Dreaming Spires' and colleges is just 15 mins by car. There are literally hours of things to do there! For the determined shopper, Bicester Village which is a vast outlet centre.

Woodstock has a good range of local pubs, along with restaurants, shops and stores while the famous Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Malborough is well worth a day trip.
