Great property to stay at, and wonderful area to explore the Costwolds and beyond. The suite was well equipped with most needed items. There were quite a few flying ants but the owners had tried to put ant traps out to remedy the problem.

Mooie accommodatie in een landelijke omgeving op 20 minuten afstand van Oxford.

Ons verblijf was niet in de afgebeelde huisjes, maar in een andere cottage op hetzelfde terrein. Na een rommelige ontvangst was het verblijf prima.

About the host

Hosted by Roo Torabi

Host profile image
We are Louise and Matthew and we moved into Dove House in 2011 and have since renovated and developed the house and the gardens. We have 5 boys who have all but one left home and our only girl Daisy is a pointer cross who enjoys the space of the gardens. We are both from the north of England but enjoy Oxford and all it offers.

Why they chose this property

With Central Oxford only around 15 minutes away and London around an hour away, Dove House Cottages provide a country feel but having Oxford so nearby. Dove House is an amazing stone built house with some parts dating back to 1450 and having a Grade 1 monument dovecote in the grounds. Free range hens wander around the grounds and the welcome gift of a few fresh eggs for the guests always seems to please! The village of Cassington is so conveniently located being so near to both Central Oxford and The Cotswolds. Both of them can be reached so easily.

What makes this property unique

The house overlooks the Norman church of St Peters and indeed the church bells ring out in true village style. The cottages are renovated to a very high standard and are immaculately presented. The friendly village has 2 pubs literally seconds away and the cottages offer total privacy but having Oxford city life just about 15 mins away.
