"The cottage itself is beautiful and has been furnished to a high standard (what we have come to expect from Rural Retreats!). Only a few small niggles; there are no keys for the patio doors into the garden. You can use the side door but part of the reason for picking this property was the thought of throwing open the doors in the living room and getting all cosy! Some of the kitchenware is not of great quality - the knives for example were terrible! Not a problem if you aren't planning to cook (alas we were). It wouldn't take much to bring some of these items up to the same quality as the rest of the cottage. Finally the welcome hamper looked like it had seen better days! The juice was out of date and the grapes were on the turn. Location is wonderful! Two beautiful pubs are within minutes and the food is well worth a visit (some of the best food we have eaten). Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage."

"We received a lovely welcome on arriving at Hunter's Cottage, with a local food hamper and on our first morning we met Janet, the house keeper who throughout our stay was friendly helpful and attentive. The cottage is situated in picturesque Clanfield not far from Witney and convenient for walking including along the nearby Thames Path. There are lots of gorgeous pubs and picturesque villages nearby as well as Oxford and Woodstock. A real bonus was that the cottage backs onto a field where the sheep were about to have their lambs and we were able to watch as the shepherd came by regularly to check on them. The cottage itself is stylishly designed, light, well equipped and comfortable. It was so lovely that despite all the things on offer locally to do, it was nice at times just to enjoy being there. We couldn't recommend it too highly and would definitely like to return in future."

"Excellent and cosy place to spend a quiet week and, if you have the urge, somewhere from which you can take off and explore Oxford and the surrounding area. Every piece of equipment worked except the security key holder which would not close, and one portable heater, even though I replaced the fuse in its plug. Combined CD player and radio also a bit of a mystery! A really good feature is the open hearth and the chance to have a fire - logs were supplied but if you want more go to B and Q or Homebase just down the road into Abingdon after the A34 interchange. Best local pub is the Merry Miller at Cothill - good food and drink and log fires. Beware of a very busy road just beyond the lane on which the Cottage stands. Cars are driven at well over the 40 MPH limit supposedly in force. Not easy for pedestrians. Information left for visitors very thorough."

"Excellent in every way. There were 6 of us. We enjoyed the home inside and outside with fantastic weather and a beautiful garden and patio attached to a quaint and cozy/comfy home. We used the kitchen as we would at home, making meals and baking scones and cakes.... Fully equipped kitchen. 6 of us there for 8 days made the washer and dryer a blessing too. It was essential to have a car out in the hamlet of Peasemore but what a delightful area. Village folk could not have been friendlier when we went for walks. Some showed us around the church, telling us the history, others directed us to the farm shop for fresh meats and vegetables... Good location to visit other places (Bath, Oxford, Newbury and more). We had an amazing holiday at The Old Post Office."
