We had a lovely time! The place was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the linens were nice. The host was extremely responsive. It was easy to walk, drive or take the bus to/from Oxford and surrounding areas. Highly recommend.

Lovely and convenient place to stay for a weekend in Oxford. If you are looking for a peaceful homely place close to the city, but not in the centre this is perfect. Really easy to walk into Oxford or taking the bus. Lovely garden area, good sized kitchen and lounge area to feel right at home. The host was very friendly and responsive. We had a couple of questions & a minor issue on arrival but the host was very helpful and responsive in resolving things. Lots of really helpful information provided .

This was the perfect place to spend ten days whilst we were in Oxford for our daughter’s wedding. The cottage was lovely and with our adult children was very comfortable for six people, with space to entertain our wider family - who were all very impressed that we had found this gem. It was spotlessly clean, and when we had a minor issue the local manager was understanding and responsive. She resolved everything to our satisfaction. Thank you - we would come again and highly recommend Midsomer Cottage.

Beautiful area and fun to walk about. Plenty of space for our family of 6, including two kids upstairs. We did our grocery shopping at the nearby Sainsbury (the one with parking!). Close drive to Oxford and Blenheim. Very responsive host with clear instructions. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Midsomer Cottage. It was very comfortable and warm. We loved watching the squirrels in the garden. It is well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed walking down to the lock, through the old part of the village, not far from the house. And walking further along the river into Oxford. The street parking was good. A good base to explore the area.

Lovely place, ideal for me and my family spending the Michaelmas term at Oxford. Amazing light from windows on three sides, ample street parking right outside, quiet area, 5 minute walk to Thames path, straight bike or bus to City Centre, easy out to the interstates for trips to London. Highly recommend, particularly if you plan or hope to have a car with you during your stay.Farr

We absolutely loved our time at Midsomer Cottage and in the village of Iffley. The cottage was so welcoming and comfortable for our group of 4 ladies. The welcome basket with bread, biscuits, cereal, wine, etc., along with fresh butter, milk and orange juice, was so very kind and appreciated. The home had everything we needed, and the beds and bedding, were fabulous after long days of exploring. We very much appreciated the multiple bathrooms for getting ready. We had lovely weather and enjoyed an afternoon in the back garden. We enjoyed wonderful dinners at the Farmhouse, Prince of Wales Pub and we especially loved the Indian restaurant, The Tree at Iffley. Walking around the village, and along the river, was a great way to end our days. Transportation was easy to and from Oxford via bus or cab and we took the train to Morton-in-Marsh on two occasions. We would all highly recommend staying at Midsomer Cottage.

We were in Oxford for the weekend for a wedding and Midsomer Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay. The location was perfect and the house was gorgeous - exactly as described. The check-in process couldn’t have been easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to return for our next Oxford event.

Lovely place couldn’t fault it at all ! Had the best stay - comfy beds , very light and airy , good appliances (cooker etc) , place was spotless and close to bus stop which isn’t a far ride to the city centre ! On a quiet road so no traffic noise through the night which was lovely. Will definitely come back if In the area.

A really lovely place. Really comfortable beds, very peaceful garden and lots of light everywhere. The walk into Oxford is fantastic and the house is in a great location. The village shop is really well stocked and reasonably priced with super friendly staff.
Thanks for a great break.

“Charming, fully updated cottage in a prime location. On the first day we took the bus into the center of Oxford, which was super easy to reach, but most of the time we walked in via the path along the Thames. That took about half an hour but was idyllic, passing gardens, a nature preserve and even horses. A very English experience! Host was very responsive and also has a manager nearby who brought us an extra fan when requested.”

Cosy, clean and convinient !
We really enjoyed our stay in Midsomer cottage. It was everything we hoped for and needed. The Iffley village is a very charming neighbourhood, and it was very convinient with the bus running into Oxford, but also very nice to walk into the center. I can really recomend it!!
