"We had a fantastic stay at Shifford Manor."
It was very comfortable, spotless and extremely well equipped. The house had many big social spaces to enjoy including a lovely large garden. It was even better than the photos. It was perfect for our needs and more. We would not hesitate to reccomend.
Thank you for lovely comments, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Twelve in party aged from mid-70s to 8 years."
Property has plenty of space for group to disperse or gather. Beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms are well appointed and maintained. All kitchen appliances are high-end and function well. Kitchen equipment is of high quality and comprehensive. Property was exceptionally clean. Wood-burners and central heating kept us very cosy over Christmas. So good that we have already rebooked for next Christmas.

"I wanted to celebrate my 60th birthday with my family."
This included me, my 85yr old mum, my 2 older sisters and younger brother, my husband, son, daughter and son in law. I wanted the airbnb to accommodate us all as comfortably as possible and feel like home for the weekend. Shifford Manor Farm delivered in every aspect and then some. My 60th was painless and perfect

"We had a great long weekend in this beautiful secluded property."
The house was immaculately clean with everything needed for our comfort and a fabulous kitchen for preparing meals for the ten of us. The bedrooms and linens were of a very high quality and the children loved the spacious garden. We were very lucky with the weather and could eat outside as well. Having visited the area before we managed to have a couple of trips out, to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Crocodile World which the children enjoyed. We would certainly recommend the property for a similar family group. Thank you.
Thank you for this lovely feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your family weekend at Shifford Manor Farm and managed also to visit the local attractions. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"The house has been refurbished relatively recently to an exceptional standard with top end appliances double dishwashers and a huge fridge capacity."
The kitchen is very well supplied with good sharp knives plenty of pans and at last for a holiday let enough glasses of all sizes! The garden is great for sitting out and for children's and adult's games. There is a haha at the end of the lawn with a fence, sadly there is no easy way down to the field level and all the farm gates are locked, so for those who are careful of our hip joints, there was no way to walk directly down to the Thames. We know that there were cows and calves around, but most people are not stupid. I did not look like there had been anyone here for some days, given that, it would have been a thought to have let us take over earlier than 6 pm, as that made the children's feeding and bathing late and rather ate into our first evening. For a large house it would be good to have a floor plan so we could plan who was going to be where rather than the scrum when we arrived. In general the house has loads of space for up to 13 people in comfort and not all crowded together in poor weather as in a French ski lodge.. We had a great family weekend.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this comprehensive feedback. We're delighted that you enjoyed your family weekend and loved the garden too. Thank you also for bringing to our attention the check in time and the provision of a floor plan - both your suggestions have been passed on to the owner. We hope to welcome you again.

"This holiday home was absolutely first class in everyway."
The attention to detail really came through and made you feel very welcome. The location is perfect for little days out and if you prefer staying at the cottage, the grounds are very peaceful. This house is perfect for a family gathering for every occasion and we will be looking to book again.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We agree that the owner really has thought about looking after her guests and making their stays really enjoyable. We will look forward to welcoming you back again.. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"An amazing property."
Wonderful for family reunions. We gathered from throughout England together with my sister and husband from California. We prepared and cooked all our meals and there wasn’t a single extra utensil we could have wished for. The beds were supremely comfortable. Superb bathrooms. The walks along the Thames Path excellent with fantastic wildlife including a beautiful fox.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that Shifford Manor Farm had all that you needed. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Shifford Manor Farm is without doubt the best holiday house we have ever stayed in."
A superb house, remotely located, which is great, because our young grandchildren make a lot of noise! Cleanliness was second to none. Very high spec appliances and top quality in every respect. Equipped with two dishwashers, which for a house this size just makes sense. Even the kitchen knives are sharp. The welcome pack was also substantial - not just a few dishwasher tabs etc, but two loaves of bread, tea, coffee, and several packets of biscuits, etc. Also plenty of TVs - both sitting rooms, kitchen and up in the loft suite; I assume they work, but we didn't use any of them. The house also a large, enclosed garden laid mostly to lawn - perfect for games. My only complaint is the weather was too warm to enjoy the logs burners (three - one in each sitting room and one in the dining room)! It was a lot of money to stay here just for a long weekend, but for a special family occasion it was worth it; this house is so good we plan to dream up another suitable event to justify coming back!
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this comprehensive feedback and we're delighted that you (and your grandchildren!) enjoyed staying at Shifford Manor Farm. It's great that you managed to make full use of all the facilities and maybe, if you return, the weather will enable you to enjoy the log burners! Property Owner

"We had a family gathering to celebrate my 75th birthday."
There were 13 of us including 5 children. The facilities and accommodation were first class and the large garden was ideal for children’s games. We particularly liked having 2 dishwashers and 2 large fridge freezers. All in all an excellent location which we would have no hesitation in recommending for large family gatherings
Thank you for providing us with this feedback. We are glad to hear you had a lovely stay at Shifford Manor Farm. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Barley Park Cottages. Property Owner

"We really couldn't fault this beautiful oak beamed but modern updated property and communications with the owner."
New Year with all our family from different parts of England was amazing and the Christmas decorations and welcome basket were a fantastic treat.. Everywhere was spotless and the House had excellent cooking facilities and equipment. Beds were very comfy and beautifully soft large towels. Spectacular views of farmland and animals. Plenty of room for 10 of us inside and out. Ample parking too. Would definately recommend for large family gatherings.

"Our group had a fantastic stay at Shifford Manor, the property is huge and so pretty."
We were very impressed with how well looked after it was, how well equipped with really good appliances and how clean it was. The property is super cosy and perfect for a large group, it has a traditional feel but modernised at the same time, which we absolutely loved! We would love to stay here again and would highly recommend Shifford Manor to all our friends and family. Thank you so much for having us and making our stay so comfortable.

"The farmhouse was a wonderful place for a family holiday!"
The grandchildren liked running in the garden, watching the tractors in the lane and the combine harvesters! The area is quiet and peaceful but close to Witney and all it's facilities. Our party particularly liked the vegan Cafe in town! The Leys park has a good play park with water jets, great for a hot day!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted that you all specially the grandchildren enjoyed your stay and looking forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

"The house is vast and all the appliances are top of the range, which is almost unheard of in a holiday rental."
The house was absolutely spotless when we arrived and it has brilliant WiFi much to the delight of the older children. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. I’m struggling to find any thing negative to say, but perhaps a hot tub or given the very large garden even a pool?
Thank you for recommending Shifford Manor Farm and we hope you will return in the future! Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying
BAMPTON, OXFORDSHIRE
Witney 4 miles; Burford 8 miles and Oxford 19 miles.
The thriving village of Bampton lies in the Thames Valley in the southern Cotswolds, amidst beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. Bampton is one of the oldest villages in England boasting a village shop, Post Office, butcher, and traditional pubs serving good food and real ales, all set around a pretty market square a hundred yards from the cottage. Ancient customs can still be experienced with the regular morris dancing festivities, which have been enjoyed for over 600 years. Just four miles away is the riverside town of Witney, which offers many attractions including a weekly market dating back to the Middle Ages, an 18th century town hall, and Wychwood Brewery. Burford is possibly one of the most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. With little changing over the centuries. Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for it's shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. Oxford, the oldest university city in England, boasts interesting Botanical Gardens, museums and libraries, and plays host to many festivals and markets throughout the year. Enjoy a punt on the River Thames or take a boat trip on the River Cherwell. The ancestral home of Winston Churchill and the World Heritage Site of Blenheim Palace is just a short drive away, where many lovely walks can be enjoyed around the landscaped parkland. With so much nearby, Bampton provides a wonderful holiday destination.
