Andrew
We had a warm welcome on arrival and we very much appreciated the spaciousness of the property. As we had three young children with us, the play room was a particular bonus and much enjoyed. There were many toys to play with and children's books to read. The private garden was also a great place for them to chase around and the boys enjoyed climbing on the quadro provided in the garden. For the adults, the superb coffee machine was a bonus and much appreciated. The particularly well equipped laundry room was a useful asset and all of the bedrooms were spacious. The initial cloakroom/dog space was ideal for leaving boots and keeping the rest of the house clean. The two decorated Christmas trees and Christmas lights outside all added to the festiveness of the family occasion. We can highly recommend Dove House Farm as a place to visit. Located nearby is a Park and Ride into Oxford which has ample parking.

The house is very spacious and very well presented; with great garden space. The setting is idyllic with incredible views. Having a dedicated play room, boot room and laundry area makes for a good stay. We cooked extensively and all the catering facilities were there, with the coffee machine much enjoyed. Highly recommended for large family gatherings, and the host even unpacked our shopping delivery for us as they were 30 minutes early!

The property was exactly as the photos. As a large family of 6 adults, 2 children and 1 dog the property was perfect for us. The garden was super. If you have young children the property has a wonderfully equipped playroom and plenty of toys, books and games. There is everything you need for children and dogs. Very thoughtful. The owners were on hand if we needed anything throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property if you want to escape the city and want peace in lovely surroundings.
