Reviews


This property is in a great location - high on the hill with views across the Canterbury plains. There are even better views from the top of the hill which is a short (steep) walk away. The woodburner made it cosy for our mid-winter stay and we had a very quiet and peaceful night with a glorious sunrise. It's only a few minutes drive into Oxford for shopping, takeaways or dining.
