“Wroxton House is an excellent house well appointed and is close to bus routes and the city center.”

I would have no hesitation in recommending this as a centre for visiting the Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace and the city of Oxford. The only slight improvement I think should be made as that the fridge public freezer is too small especially if there are six adults sharing. We enjoyed our stay – the main purpose of which was to attend the graduation of my daughter at New College Oxford.

“Another lovely holiday in another lovely cottage from Sykes Cottages and the most important factor to us being dog lovers is that our Jack Russell ,Tilly was with us the whole holiday and we had a great holiday.”

. Wroxton Cottage had great qualities it is a lovely old detached house very quaint and only a 7 minute walk from a good set of shops including a very tasty fish n chip shop!!! Another added bonus to us . as we enjoyed the beautiful garden in this cottage we watched Red Kites circling in the sky above!! It’s. a great way to take a holiday we have chosen from Sykes Cottages before and we look forward to choosing from them again!!

“I very much enjoyed the atmosphere of this house and its lovely garden.”

It was a very lucky find so close to central Oxford and to the Thames (Isis) allowing pleasant walks to both Oxford and Iffley. It proved to be an excellent location for a small 70th birthday party with my family. The piano was a great hit with our youngest visitor. Christine, one of the owners, was very welcoming and friendly and put us at our ease and was also very helpful when we left. Oxford, whilst very lively was not as crowded as over the summer. The modern facilities all worked and my husband, who was confined to the house, said that he loved the house and felt that it was well worth the effort of going. The proximity of shops and regularity of buses were considerable advantages and enabled me to make the best use of the limited time available to enjoy the cultural events on offer. I would recommend the Bate Museum of Musical instruments and the free recitals in churches and colleges. Details of these are posted around the Bodleian area, another place for excellent free exhibitions. Wandering around the central lanes often rewards with unexpected views of architectural gems, Queen's Lane and Merton Lane are among my favourites. Also, Oxford is an outstanding place for people-watching. Fiona, Wollaton, Nottingham

“The house had everything we needed for a family weekend.”

Ideally placed accommodation for Oxford and the surrounding areas. Staying so we could be near the finish of the Thames 100 run for a participating family member and able to walk along the lovely Thames path to the finish.

“It is a really interesting experience to stay in a property that has been authentically preserved as if it was still the 1930's.”

it feels a bit surreal at first, almost like being on a film set, but you soon adjust. the house and garden are both lovely, and we were very comfortable and had everything that we needed. only slight issue we had was that we found mobile phone signal to be very intermittent (may depend on your network) and there is no wi-fi so would recommend you go "old school" and bring maps and guide books with you rather than think you'll look things u as you go along! the property is very well situated for exploring Oxford and the surrounding area. its about a half hour level walk into Oxford via the towpath alongside the river. alternatively a number 3 bus goes past the house about every 15 minutes. although there's obviously masses to do in Oxford but its worth doing the quarter hour stroll along the river in the opposite direction to Iffley Lock as well. and we also drove out to Dorchester, Burford, Bibury, Lechlade and Cricklade all of which were lovely.

“The service was good but the property ist in a very bad condition”

“Wir wurden von der Eigentümerin sehr freundlich empfangen.”

Liebenswertes altes Haus mit Einrichtung teilweise aus den 30´er Jahren. Küche mit Geschirrspüler/Mikrowelle sowie dazugehörigem Inventar ausreichend ausgestattet. Betten sind bequem, nur leider als französische Betten für uns gefühlt zu schmal. Und dann noch eine Bettdecke für zwei Personen... ist aber in England/Frankreich nun mal so. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Schöner eingewachsener Blumengarten mit Sitzecke. Ansonsten gute Lage zur Innenstadt, auch zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Eine Buslinie fährt fast vor der Haustür zur Innenstadt. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direkt in der Nähe. Pkw-Stellplatz direkt vor der Haustür. Leider war ein kleines Schlafzimmer aufgrund eines Wasserschadens nicht nutzbar und Schimmel diesbezüglich an einer Wand sichtbar, dies sollte entfernt/behoben werden.

“Great flexible space with charm and character”

Very friendly owners greeted us. Very large open rooms with a lovely garden and fascinating nooks and crannies. Very interesting history with period thirties feel. Lots of original features and a rare find so close to the Plain, Colleges and Oxford Centre. Convenient walk to local shops lovely Nepalese pub/restaurant and short bus or taxi to centre.
