Self-Catering Fountain View Cottage in Bicester

It is a lovely quaint cottage however couple of points to be considered. 1. The sofa is ripped on one of the seat cushions. 2. The sofa has lost all spring & firmness & is filthy with dust flying everywhere when you try to plump the cushions, which no longer plump. 3. The staircase is precarious for humans & definitely not dog friendly. You can see daylight through the steps & a couple of them feel like they are going to give way. 4. There are holes in the wall where it looks like an old hand rail was on the staircase. 5. The clothes airer is broken. 6. The garden is not dog friendly with low level gates & fencing, trip hazard paving & a shear drop with not railings. 7. The advert states there is a shop & food trucks, none of these are here & the locals didn't know what we were talking about when we asked. 8. The kitchen work surfaces still had crumbs on. If elderly people were to stay or children I think there would be accidents in the property & garden. If we were not seeing my father in law we would have returned home to Kent by now as the 4 days stay has been very stressful constantly following my dogs to make sure they are safe & the sofa not being sturdy at all & causing my physical medical issues to be exacerbated. I appreciate it is an old cottage however it should be advertised better with more emphasis on safety issues or lack of, the furniture should be clean & up to physical standard & truth displayed about local amenities or, again, lack of. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to a much needed & relaxing break due to high demanding job, this has been anything but. Kind regards Angela Tiny Sent from my Huawei phone

Its a lovely cottage but the sofa defo needs changing." We spent 4 ngts and we reported this issue same night that we need vaccum to clean the sofa as we just itched and itched. I had to have tablets so stop itching. No answer from the owner at all through sykes and i had to cover the sofa cushions with black bags then sat on it. It was ridiculous. The charge for this cotttage is not cheap so they must change the sofa atleast. Ridiculous stay and i m just not happy at all. Also the owner should maintain the garden as its just dumpyard to be honest. The carpet in the main bedroom is just full of stains and filthy.I would not recommend this cottage to anyone at all. One massively unhappy customer.

Was a great base for the weekend. Cottage was clean and bright, beds comfortable. The only thing letting down the score was that we had to let the plumber in to fix the toilet, something in my opinion should have been sorted before we arrived. Was a very short break so not enough time to make use of the fire or kitchen facilities. Would recommend.

Cottage is in a lovely village, close to nearby Historical Sites. The lounge is very pleasant but smelt of dogs. Why would you need 6 Occasional tables in 1 room? Kitchen not practical, no cupboards to house crockery. Stairs do not comply with Building regs. The is not a handrail up to the top of the stairs. Very Dangerous. Bathroom not functional, Basin is cracked. Impossible to have a shower. Master bedroom: Mattress to small for bed frame. No wardrobe. Double bedroom no wardrobe (just a rail to hang clothes) Front door lock is difficult to use. Rear door difficult to open. Lamb chop bones left in the drawer of the dresser! Why? Isn’t there a Visitors Book?

What a delightful cottage! Cosy, warm, beautifully kitted out - everything you could want for a home away from home. Fab location in a lovely village, with canal and countryside walks on your doorstep. Booking and arrivals process was completely seamless. All in all a lovely place to get out of the city to relax and recharge. We can’t wait to come back!

Really charming old cottage.. Lots of original features including big open fire, beams and many wooden boarded floors (carpet in lounge and both bedrooms). Some may struggle with steep and bare wooden staircase. Sofa and beds were really comfortable. Would sleep four adults comfortably but seating in the lounge would be quite snug. Village of Upper Heyford is really quiet and picturesque. Nice walks around the village and down to the canal. Local pub is only a short stroll away and serves good pub grub.
