The cottage was part of a delightful compound connected to the Manor House where the owner lived. You enter through an electric gate into a large gravelled area where there's ample parking. Although talked about, we didn't appreciate the quality of the community shop and cafe. Its adjacent to the house, and sells everything you'd need for a stay plus the cafe makes a great breakfast. Its a lovely part of the village. The house itself is large and open plan on the ground floor with a great kitchen and plenty of seating. The heating is underfloor so it heats up really quickly and holds the heat which was essential in the cold weather we just had. There are 2 bedrooms, reached by separate staircases from downsrairs so ideal for 2 different parties. Each had a nice bathroom, although a lack of shower upstairs was a mild annoyance. There is a shower room downstairs with WC so you can still do that. We visited Basildon Park, Pangbourne and Goring in our stay which are no more than 20 mins away. The pub in the village is nice, but was missing quite a few dishes when we visited.

Only thing really would be no shower in the upstairs bathrooms which meant if you wanted a shower you walked downstairs

Thank you Betts family for a beautiful stay. From start to finish it was perfect. We used this property as a half way point for Peppa Pig world and Lego Land after travelling from Ireland by ferry to Pembroke. The village shop located across the courtyard from the property was exceptional, fully stocked with everything and more for your stay and a bonus was the coffee shop with freshly baked everything. Delicious. The apartments themselves were fully stocked with everything you would need for self catering stay. Property was exceptionally clean and I just couldn't say enough good things. Thank you.

We couldn't stay longer!!!!

Amazing location! Quintessential quaint English village with 10th century church next door! Loved the vibe and thoroughly enjoyed the community store, exploring the lovely walks, spots and great restaurants. Everyone was super friendly, especially Mark from the hair salon next door! Staff from the manor house was friendly and very helpful. They even told us to pick their apples in the lovely back garden - we did and they were delicious! We would stay again, and visit the Gin distillery on the property for a tasting, which was just setting up when we were there Aug 2024. We highly recommend this little gem!

Minor things: The room was smaller than expected, as presented in ad photos, no place to put luggage. When we asked for more toilet paper we were told the visitor was to supply any additional needs and to buy it at the community store. I was surprised, based on the price.

1 bed 'peartree' cottage is spacious accommodation, with a luxurious bathroom & very pleasant sitting area in the orchard through the kitchen door. All comfortable and clean. Lots of walking from the property to bluebell wood and along quiet byways to The Ridgeway, Goring Gap etc. Community cafe and deli shop on site a good bonus.

no issues. Only comment is the parking specific to individual cottages could be a bit clearer - esp to ensure corner cottages access

Lovely barn conversion with all we required for a great stay. Good community shop. Nice garden space to enjoy. We’ve been travelling for several months one of the best accommodation for the price we have stayed in.

A little hot, however in fairness we find that a lot of UK accommodation doesn’t have cooling systems or fixed fans, which would be good on warm, humid days.

The cottage was so cosy, the perfect place for a little getaway. The bed was so comfy and the jacuzzi bath was an added bonus. The food in the cafe next door was so delicious, and the shop had everything we needed during our stay. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful, so we took a peaceful walk through the woods. The owner was very welcoming and helped with our needs. A lovely place to stay, I would certainly visit again.

There wasn't anything we didn't like about our stay.

Lovely apartment, very large, clean and well-equipped located on the most picture-perfect and history-filled village of Hampstead Norreys 30 minutes South of Oxford. Very friendly staff, plenty of options for peaceful walks nearby and very nice community shop on site with a pretty café for breakfast and lunch. Can’t recommend enough!

It was spacious in a lovely location and handy for where we wanted to be

The bath did not empty in the far bedroom and the bathroom floor didn’t seem to have been cleaned. A supply of shampoo and bath lotion is usually provided where we have stayed before in self catering accommodation, as has tea and coffee

Beautiful place. Comfy furnishings. Very comfy bed! Well equipped kitchen. Lovely little shop in the same courtyard.

Under floor heating so a little hard to control accurately. Takes quite a while to warm up or cool down. But that's just my personal taste and the converse is that it's very eco conscious.

It was a very nice set up. The barn was lovely. With everything you could possibly need. The community shop and café were perfect. And the food was delicious

The window coverings, i.e. blinds could do with an update. But it didn’t spoil the visit.
