A lovely comfortable house in a lovely tranquil area

This is a lovely character house that is equipped with everything one would need for a holiday. The location is second to none, close to the River Thames and interesting beautiful villages. Oxford is a short drive away with a number of 'park and ride' locations not too far from the house.

Cosy and relaxing!

The area is absolutely beautiful and calm, the landlords obloging and warm-hearted. There are three pubs around where you can walk to, shopping facilities require a car, as far as we sorted them out. We absolutely recommend that cottage.

This cottage was clean and quite charming and located near a field with sheep! The hosts, who live in an adjoining house, were thoughtful -- thank you for the chocolate cake! -- and respectful. The house had everything -- a full kitchen with several ways to make coffee, full fridge, etc. We were just two, and were quite comfortable, using the extra bedroom as our dressing room. The hosts left a thorough guide with everything you need to know about the house and the area. It was truly a quiet and wonderful place to stay in the countryside, and easy to drive to many locations in the surrounding area.

Charming and well equiped cottage

We enjoyed staying in the cottage. The cottage is equiped with everything we needed, such as bedding, towels, kitchen equipment and power adapters. It is situated in a peaceful small village, where we did walk to the Thames river. Also trips to Oxford, Blennheim Palace and the Cotswald are beautiful.

Nice cottage in a wonderful garden

It is a very pretty little cottage set in a beautiful garden. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. The hosts are very polite and accommodating and welcomes us with a homemade cake. Northmoor is an ideal base for touring Oxford or the Cotswolds.

Christmas in Northmoor

We spent a very cosy Christmas at the cottage at Northmoor. The kitchen was very well equipped even down to a copy if Delia’s Christmas cook book to help me cook Christmas dinner. There are a number of walking books in the cottage and we really appreciated them to plan local walks. Thanks Julie for a very enjoyable stay

So amazing

We are a family from Australia with 2 older teens (15 and 18). We stayed for 6 nights and just loved it. The cottage was very comfortable and easy to cook in and for everyone to have space. We had a car and easily got about the region. We loved eating at the local pub The Red Lion which was a 2 min walk up the road. Our hosts were incredibly helpful and kind. Highly recommend

A Wonderful Time

The Owners are Wonderful Persons. The Cottage is in a very quiet Street. We spend many time in hiking in this area. You can reach the Thames in a few minutes. The Cottage have a nice green garden, perfect for breakfast outside. From Northmoore you can reach Oxford and Abington in a short time.

Comfortable cottage

Vey comfortable and well-equipped cottage at a good location for exploring the Oxford area and the Cotswolds. Also lots of local walks, although a word of warning for any older people with dodgy knees (like me) there are lots of stiles - some easier to negotiate than others. The supply of books in the cottage covers a wide range, which is relatively unusual. Overall an excellent break for us (couple in mid-seventies).

A home on the edge of the Cotswolds

I recently spent 5 days at Green Cottage. Julie and Peri were very friendly and helpful, so I felt immediately at home after my long drive from Surrey. The property is beautiful; I especially loved the morning sun in the conservatory, and the lush garden. The cottage had everything I needed, and its warmth and decor were so welcoming and relaxing I wanted to move in permanently. Only regret is that I ran out of time: not just to explore the wider area, but to undertake some of the enticing walks very nearby, and to visit the village pub a short stroll away.

Beautiful Cottage

We spent a wonderful week at Green Cottage,it was spotlessly clean,very well equipped,we even had a cake waiting for us! The owner Julie could not have been mor helpful and friendly. The cottage is roomy very comfortable and warm and very quiet,the kitchen is first class with everything one could need. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds and access to Oxford,would recommend the Seacourt Park and Ride for the city centre. Would we return? Like a shot

Zauberhaftes Cottage, warmherzige Gastgeber

Das Cottage ist in einem kleinen Weiler in der Nähe von Oxford gelegen, absolut ruhig und idyllisch. Das Cottage selbst liegt in einem sehr schönen Garten. Alle Räume sind in einer Ebene und geschmackvoll, aber ohne Schnickschnack eingerichtet. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Dusche, Heißwasser, Heizung und WLAN funktionieren einwandfrei. Sehr warmherzige Gastgeber, die nebenan wohnen und jederzeit hilfsbereit sind. In der näheren Umgebung zahlreiche bedeutende historische Gärten wie z. B. Blenheim und Rousham.
