The Long House is a beautiful place to stay for up to eight people. Everything you could want including a lovely fully enclosed garden which we and our dog loved. The beds are extremely comfortable and every room is very nicely furnished. There are lovely walks from the house and The Cotswolds are within easy reach.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in the Oxfordshire countryside. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful surroundings, beautiful views, and the cottage’s cosy, welcoming atmosphere.The cottage was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully furnished, combining traditional character with all the modern comforts needed for a relaxing break. The comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen, and cosy living area made it feel like a home away from home.Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful countryside retreat. We left feeling refreshed and would happily return in the future.
