This is a characterful cottage with the benefit of being on the edge on the beautiful Blenheim estate.. From the conservatory you look in to the estate, and it's just a very short walk to gain free entry and walk around the grounds.. the sensory in the estate is breathtaking and made our stay. The cottage itself was cosy and had most of the things we needed. The down side is just one downstairs bathroom, limited storage space, no wardrobe in the main bedroom, we had to share with our daughters in the next bedroom, not ideal.note that the cottage is on a busy main road and lots of trafiic noise at night As other comments, the parking is a challenge and should be made more clear in the advert. There are 2/3 parking spaces on the roadside, available on a first come basis between a number of houses. Other parking is across the road in a residential street, hope they didn't mind us parking there. Really not great if you have a number of suitcases to carry. In the end the positives of Blenheim out weighed the negatives. And for the price was good value..

The cottage was very clean and well equipped.. A few down sides to it is that you get to the only bathroom from the conservatory that is open to the passing public in the park due to no blinds. the other fault is the TV stand. The TV is blocked out by the settees so you have to put it on a stool from the kitchen so you can watch it. The cottage is on a bend of a very busy road with no parking directly outside. you can park on the street opposite but can be difficult depending on time of day. the village itself is lovely and the pubs are dog friendly but the cafes aren't. My recommendation would be is to go visit this area, loads to do but leave the dog at home a lot of places aren't dog friendly.

Your description of a bathroom ‘ideally’ situated on the ground floor is , of course, estate agent speak , because in almost no ones world is it ideally situated.. We knew on booking that it was ground floor which we dislike but this was a compromise . We did not anticipate that it was accessed through a conservatory , glass all round, & that the join between conservatory ( sorry, ‘dining room’ in your world) & lounge involved a 2” lip up follow by 4” drop down . This is important when in the latter case , you are getting up in the night to go to the toilet , & in the former , wanting to get washed in the morning. Bear in mind there is a public footpath in full view a few yards away. The shower was unsuited to a holiday let because it is fixed height ( for someone very tall) so with no shower caps , difficult to avoid getting hair wet. The kitchen has a tiled work surface with grouting , so impossible to keep clean . The double bedroom , not photographed I notice, is the smaller less attractive one.Why? We worked out it would be perfectly a possible to fit the two somewhat chunky single beds in the smaller room & allow couples to enjoy the extra room , wardrobes & pretty fireplace. Anyone, seeing an assurance that there is parking on street would assume this was a sreet you could see. You can’t. I felt misled in this respect. We had to cart suitcases some distance & cross a busy A road with them. The cottage heating was on day & night which we are not used to & because it was way too hot especially when cooking , my husband reduced the temperature. I felt the visitors handbook was halfhearted. No decent instructions for getting the tv started , & again , different to ours. A quick comprehensive guide to putting the heating on timer would have helped. Issues in the visitor book about positioning of the tv have not been addressed. You have to move both settees for two people to see the whole screen. Anyway , not my most successful choice of accommodation you can see. A good job the walks , Blenheim , Oxford , & RSPB reserve which we found , delivered completely in the holiday experience.

Beautiful, cosy Cottage, short walk into Woodstock small town which was picturesque and had all amenities required.. Went to Church on Christmas morning and was made to feel very welcome by the locals. Cottage was beautifully appointed and the walk into Blenheim Palace ( through green gates to the right of front door) was stunning. I would 100% recommend this cottage and would like to come back one day!

The Causeway is in an excellent location next to Blenheim Palace and easy 5 minute walk into lovely Woodstock.. Comfortable stay in a nicely decorated, well equipped ,clean cottage. The garden is very secure for your dog. Walks to be had in the Blenheim estate and across the road there is a 7 mile circular walk to Wootton.(access next to the Black Prince pub).Everything was fine except for the shower pressure which is poor and the television stand is far to low. These issues can be fixed though.Parking may be an issue in the busy holiday times of the year. There is some road noise. Never the less, I consider myself to be a light sleeper and was not awoken by road noise. There are secondary internal windows which helps muffle any noise. Milk,bread,jam,cheese,tea, coffee,sugar and chocolate biscuits were supplied. However,there was no starter pack for the wood burner left for us on our arrival as per description. When we contacted the owner she said she had asked Sykes to remove this from the description. However, it was delivered to us the next day by the housekeeper.I do not think it is a good idea to remove this as it took us 6 hours to travel to Woodstock and then we had to go back out again to look for somewhere that sells wood . All in all had a great stay and highly recommend this cottage.

Great location, I hadn’t realised just how close to Blenheim it was.. Woodstock was pretty and within easy walking distance. Made use of the log burner on Halloween.
