About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oxford. C16th Cottage In Courtyard Setting. Garden. Parking. Free Wifi.

Set in the courtyard of our own home, but completely separate and private, Gadbury Cottage is cosy and very comfortable whether your choice is for a winter or summer break. It offers an ideal location to discover Oxford and the nearby attractions of Oxford City, Blenheim Palace, Shotover Park, Waterperry Gardens, Otmoor nature reserve, the Chilterns and Cotswolds Hills. Wheatley has all the facilities to meet your immediate needs - 2 foodstores, baker, coffee shop, post office, bank and choice of restaurants and pubs. The village has a long history through it's location on the main coaching route from London to Oxford - it was once descibed as the most agreeable stopping place between Beaconsfield and Woodstock. Today it's transport links are still excellent being just 2 miles from the Thornhills Park and Ride and a similar distance from the M40. There are regular bus services to Oxford and to Haddenham/Thame train station. Central London is c53 miles and Heathrow c45 miles, both have good public transport links.

Charming cottage with easy access to public transportation.
This historic cottage was just what I was looking for: charming setting, clean home, friendly and responsive host, and easy access to restaurants and pubs nearby as well as public transportation. We toured the surrounding area (Oxford, Avebury, Cotswalds) and loved returning to our quiet little house at the end of the day. Wheatley was a great village. Thank you Jenny for being so accommodating and satisfying our specific needs!

What I was looking for
It had many aspects that made staying inside comfortable and it had everything I was looking for which was listed. I think the pricing for all the stuff we were given is pretty good too. The host was also great at timely communication to make sure my stay was comfortable.

Modernised, traditional property
The property is well presented and maintained. It is not large. I was staying alone but feel it would be cramped with 3 adults but fine for a couple or couple with child. The area is very nice with good local shops within walking distance. There is a very good bus service to Oxford - every 10 mins or so and this runs well into the evening so an evening in Oxford would be possible. The local Waterperry Gardens are also worth a visit.

Great place,location and very friendly
We have stayed at Jenny and Martins Cottage several times. This time we stayed for 5 weeks and loved every minute of the stay. The people of Wheatley have been very friendly and those at the Kings Arms Pub very welcoming. Wheatley is on the outskirts of Oxford so there are a lot of interesting things to do as well as it is only an Hour and a half by bus to London.

Super Stay in Wheatley
We loved our stay in Gadbury Cottage. A lovely location in Wheatley. Jenny our host was simply marvellous and presents a beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need. Very clean, comfortable, a quiet and safe place to stay. Not too far from Oxford - this worked well for us to stay a few times this year. We hope to return some day!

Enjoyable stay in Wheatley
The property was located in a nice area of the village which had more facilities than we expected, those relevant to us being a short walk away. The house was well presented and we had everything we needed. Unfortunately the weather restricted our use of the garden but overall we did not miss anything. Our main aim was visiting Oxford and we found the nearby park and ride to be both handy and efficient. Beyond that there were some good National Trust and other places to visit in the vicinity.

Small but cosy and comfortable
Over all we enjoyed our one week stay in Gadbury Cottage. Everything important is provided, although two new pans in the kitchen and a new matress for the bed in the ground floor bedroom would be nice. Using the toilet can be a little bit tricky, if you are not a slim person. Nevertheless worth a recommendation! Mrs. Steele ist very friendly!

Such an AMAZING place to stay!
My mother and I look at our week in Wheatley as one of the highlights of our trip. Jenny's house was beautiful and she was gracious and welcoming. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our visit. Catching the bus was easy and we traveled all over Oxfordshire during the week. It was a WONDERFUL stay!
