Location is great and enclosed garden is great as well. However some appliances could do with upgrading ie the TV is a basic free view no option for smart TV ie Netflix etc. The shower although looks big is quiet small I feel that taking out the cabinets in the bathroom and having a walking wet room would make more room. Also the oven was very poor and didnt cook well. There was also quiet a few pans which were no good for use ie non stick flaking off. There needs to be some dusting done as there are cobwebs forming. Overall good Location and convenient for shops etc but a few attention to details needed to be up dated.

Redwood is in an ideal location for touring Oxfordshire, and a short bus journey to Oxford. The village has all facilities from pubs, shop to village butcher. We have stayed in Renwood before and found this time round that the standard has dropped slightly, some items in the house are a bit tired. Previous occupants don't or won't leave out waste/recycle bins for collection.

Cosy comfortable cottage with space for two couples, perfectly positioned to get out and explore Oxfordshire. The garden is a delightful space but in need of a little tlc. We did have a bit of trouble with the oven until I followed the hand written instructions and cros referenced with the icons in the manual. Overall we had a great five days stay.
