Relaxing and peaceful
Lovely property with wonderful garden and quiet position, perfect for relaxing after our weekend full on equine course. Wonderful hosts who provided everything you could wish for from tea and coffee to cereals, jams and honey. We visited Churchill's grave and nearby Woodstock. Blenhiem is only over the road and you can walk into the parkland. Well done to our hosts!

Perfect little retreat
Manse Cottage is ideally located to visit Blenheim Palace (a 3 minute walk takes you to pedestrian gates) & to explore the wider Cotswolds region. It is furnished & equipped to the highest level & you feel 'at home' as soon as you walk through the door. I knew Janet was going to be a fantastic host when she messaged me to ask our milk preference! And she most definitely did not disappoint. Thank you Janet. We will look forward to staying at Manse Cottage again in the future.

Perfect for visiting Blenheim Palace
Great location for visiting the Christmas light trail at Blenheim - just a 20 minute walk away. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equiped, and warm & toasty on a -4degC night. Janet was a very welcoming & helpful host. Highly recommended, and we will certainly book again when we're next back this way.

So homely and inviting
Janet really goes the extra mile with the cottage and how well presented it is. Every little touch adds to the magic and she’d made it all festive for the stay - lovely and very considerate.
It’s close to so many things - Woodstock is Great and Blenheim palace is also on the doorstep.

Great cottage in an good location
This is an excellent property in a good location for visiting Blenheim, Oxford or the Cotswolds. Exactly as described it is well equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated. Warm and friendly welcome from Janet and Mark was much appreciated as was the provision of tea cakes, fruit, milk and tea/coffee in the cottage kitchen after a long journey. Definitely planning to stay here again.

Mini getaway
Me and my other half had an amazing stay. The cottage is beautiful. And we was looked after very well. Only down fall was there aint any takeaways near by, and no one delivers that far out. So we had to drive 20 mins to go get some food. Apart from that it is a fantastic place to stay. Will definitely be going back :) Thank you so much.
