  • "Great venue for a three-generation family weekend."

    Huge, well-equipped kitchen, and three separate living rooms, so plenty of space to relax. A very generous welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits, etc. The games room and tennis court were well used. Excellent playground in Witney with equipment for toddlers up to teenagers, A few things could have been better. We would have liked to have had a map of the area (OS preferably), and some suggestions for local walks. (We found a good 3.5 mile walk from Minster Lovell to Crawley and back via Minster Lovell Hall.) The piano could do with tuning! But lovely to have it, and it was well used, too. The cold water tap in the Jack and Jill twin bedroom is extremely stiff. We’re planning to book again next year.

  • "A wonderful huge house and garden that was perfect for our large family gathering."

    The house was well equipped and the garden was fabulous for the children to play in. Just a couple of suggestions about the house. We thought the bathrooms were a little tired and in need of updating. In the large bedroom with en-suite shower shared with a twin room there was a problem with flies. We kept the curtains drawn all the time to stop them coming in the bedroom.

  • "We had a lovely family ladies weekend the house had so much space for everyone."

    Set in beautiful grounds (next time we will be back when the weather is better to enjoy the garden) The house had everything we needed and we had such a relaxing time we didn’t discover the games room till we were about to leave we had booked it so long ago we had forgotten about it. It would be a great space for families too. Lots of parking spaces as we were all coming from different parts of the country so parking and the large living room were two factors when we were booking it, although the 2 other lounges offer space for kids or quiet spaces.we are already talking about going back next year.

    Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you had such a great weekend and enjoyed a relaxing time. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

    We would definitely recommend and when we next want a whole family gathering will certainly come back. An additional kettle would have been very useful as it as the only devise that wasn’t duplicated. We did have problems finding enough 3 pin sockets in bedrooms as most were circular and there was no mention of this on the details provided. Maybe some extension leads could be made up and provided.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Home Farm."

    The facilities are excellent and the house and location are beautiful. We were staying with our children and grandchildren and the house had something for everyone. There was a Games room with a pool table and table football and there were outdoor games for the children with a large garden and tennis court. There were several televisions and a large selection of books and indoor board games. The kitchens had plenty of storage and several fridges and freezers. They were very well equipped. All the bedding was feather free, although many cushions and sofas in living rooms were down filled. We have two family members who have issues with feathers and down due to chronic asthma, but we informed the owners prior to our arrival and they kindly moved furniture around to provide a feather free lounge for them. We had no problems as a result. Most evenings after the grandchildren had gone to bed we spent playing games together around the dining room table. There are many places to visit nearby so all in all a fantastic holiday was had by everyone

  • "Our stay at Home Farm at Easter was a wonderful experience."

    On arrival we felt welcomed to an exceptionally clean and inviting home, and provisions for a drink and snack. All the rooms were of a high standard of decor and comfort. The newly refurbished kitchen was well equipped and a delight for storage and meal preparation, as well providing a smaller dining area. It was a memorable experience to sit around the large dining table with all our family to socialise and share meals. The various sitting rooms provided all the space needed for our multi generation family to enjoy themselves quietly, or join together as one large party. The newly created games room was a hit with everyone and an excellent place for wet weather fun. The grounds were beautifully maintained and provided all the space needed for outdoor games and a challenge for our Easter Egg hunt! Walks across the fields and watching the sheep and lambs were also much enjoyed, as well as visits to Ducklington village and surrounding towns. We reported a couple of minor glitches to the management team, who dealt with them immediately and this also gave us the opportunity to meet the property owner. Fiona was very interested to hear our comments and keen to hear if anything could have improved our stay. We say a very big THANK YOU to Fiona, the management team, cleaners and maintenance team for working together to provide the setting for a dream gathering. Pamela and Andrew

    The kitchen was well stocked with glasses, cutlery, dishes/plates etc and cooking pans & utensils. Great BBQ. There were however some disappointments especially considering the cost of well over £5k. The interior was quite tired and the settees in the main lounge extremely uncomfortable. Some of the main kitchen cupboards need some attention. I think the listing should state how close it is to RAF Brise Norton as some of what I assume are training flights went on till way past 10o/clock in the evening and were very noisy.

    Thankfully we were able to get an earlier check in as I hadn't realised until we had booked that it was a 6pm check in. This really is a unacceptable time for to get small children fed and settled for bed and to generally organise ourselves for an evening meal - this would really prevent us from booking in the future. Its a beautiful house though, however, it has been let down by lack of basic provisions; - I was later told these should have been left but weren't. No Bin Bags No Oven Gloves No Tea Towels (fortunately I brought my own) No Dishcloths or scourers No Dishwasher tablets - one of us had to drive after supper at 10.30pmto a garage to get some Other items which would have helped would be a couple of large water jugs - as one plastic one is woefully inadequate Also there aren’t two complete sets of cutlery for starter /main course/cheese for when we all sat down for dinner There are some keys missing in the piano which need fixing. If you could ensure these problems would be addressed we would like to come on a regular basis as the other facilities and the grounds and tennis court are excellent.

    Thank you for providing us with this feedback. We appreciate that 6pm check-in is not ideal, Home Farm is a big property, as you are aware, and therefore takes a long time to clean to the highest standard.

Sincere apologies our standard 'Welcome Pack' was not in the property for your arrival- this was an oversight on our part and had we have been notified we would have rectified this straight away. We have replaced both waterjugs and cutlery following your email.
