I was looking for a place to take a break in Oxfordshire. The accommodation was exactly what I was looking for and needed. Everything looked like in the pictures! The lounger was perfect for reading. In general, the apartment was very stylishly furnished. It didn't take long by bus to Oxford. The Cotswolds were also very easy to reach by car. One day I travelled by train from Didcot to London. The parking lot was great and practical. I can highly recommend the accommodation.

Had a fantastic stay. So easy to get around as everything in Abingdon is on your door step. There are local buses which take you into Oxford. The apartment was cosy and had everything we needed, it was very chilly when we stayed but the extra thick duvet and blankets provided meant we stayed nice and warm. Will definitely be back in the Summer.
