Holiday Cottages In Claydon To Rent

"S74008 is a purpose built holiday let. Although finished to a nice standard, we personally we found it rather clinical. The sofa in the lounge is rather small so after a long day exploring in the cotwolds it was hard to relax (my partner is 6ft2) and the single beds didn't do anything for the romantic in us ! Looking at the previous occupants the majority appear to be couples so I would suggest the single beds are replaced with a nice big kingsize bed. Also, it was difficult to get a Wi-Fi connection as this is extended from the owners property so the only way to stay connected is to position your device on the window ledge facing the owners house, which made lazy browsing impossible. (you had to perch on a chair by the kitchen sink) plus there was no 3/4g connection either ! The owner did explain he was having some issues with wi-fi and was waiting for the Engineer to come out on Tuesday (2 days after we left), but I did read some similar comments from 3 months ago so I would check before booking. All in all, a good location for Bicester shopping village, a clean and well maintained property, with some lovely touches such as the lemon cake on arrival, but this didn't make up for the rest ! To be honest we left a day early as we wanted to wake up in our own comfy bed and browse the web :)"

"I have stayed there twice this season and had wonderful times both times. Everything is there at the cottage you could possibly want and need. Only one thing missing a vase for flowers ! A minor thing, so I just took my own. Because it sleeps three it is a great place for a single person to holiday with friends, which is exactly what I did. I stayed with family from Yorkshire there, and last week friends from New Zealand there. I am a local girl who loves Wendover anyway, but they all loved it. So many walks to do from there, depending on the rain of course, and enough restaurants in Wendover to eat at a different one every night. Although everything is supplied for cooking at the cottage which we also did several nights. Thank you a wonderful place, but I don't want to tell many people !"

"Beautifully modernised 19th century cottage, very tastefully kitted out with all mod cons. Wendover is very charming, though hardly traffic-free, and the Chilterns are absolutely beautiful & a walker's paradise (at least until HS2 arrives). The cottage wouldn't suit the less able-bodied, with bedroom & bathroom on different levels, necessitating a somewhat hazardous night-time visit to the loo. The walls are thin, so it's possible to hear the next-door neighbours thundering up and down the stairs, not to mention two disagreeably yappy dogs. The "welcome pack" is a pint of milk, although the (overpriced) Tesco Express is 100 yards down the road. Although there are clear disadvantages, as above, the accommodation is of impressive quality overall."

"For us this was the best cottage we have rented in our 23 years of self catering. We really loved it. Alot of places promise welcome packs but never deliver. The home made cake (delicious - my husband had devoured it within the first 2 days), milk and fresh duck/hen eggs - just such a lovely touch. The cottage is beside the owners home (who are very lovely and approachable) but it is still very private with great views over the countryside. Clean, lovely decor and finishes with attention to detail, log fire for the cooler days and loved the sonos system. Great location with easy access to all neighbouring counties and London. Highly recommended. We are fans of this cottage!"

"The cottage is beautiful and refurbished to a high standard. It is small, but cosy and comfortable. The stairs are steep and shallow at points which should expecting from such an old property, but can be tricky.The property lacks a freezer, which isn’t the biggest problem, other than this the kitchen is very well equipped. The kitchen table has stools rather then chairs, could impact accessibility for some guests.It’s also not clear in the information that there is joint access in front of the property for the 2 attached cottages, it wasn’t overly used during our weeks stay, but it does mean people can walk right in front of the cottage."
