The Barn was beautiful, appealing and very spacious in a quiet area which was ideal for exploring the local area and seeing places like Blenheim Palace. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was a very well equipped kitchen and we managed very well even with covid restrictions. The hob could be a bit tricky but Rosemary was very quick to help. It really was a home from home and there was plenty of wildlife to watch. We would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area.

Alfie's Barn is tucked away in a quiet secluded location but with easy accessibility to such places
Alfie's Barn is tucked away in a quiet secluded location but with easy accessibility to such places as Oxford, Bletchley Park, the Bicester Shopping Centres, etc. In spite of the covid restrictions it was well-equipped, warm and very clean. Inspite of the weather and time in the year we enjoyed the various wildlife around the Barn - squirrels, owls, fox, pheasants.

Comfortable and surprisingly large cottage, tucked away in a very quiet position.
Comfortable and surprisingly large cottage, tucked away in a very quiet position. The photos don't really do the property justice, it has has a large kitchen Diner, good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The lounge is snug and would be smallish for 5 , but is cosy and the cottage is warm. Not much in the immediate area of interest for us at this time of year (other than the upmarket Bicester shopping village), but a great base and just 30 mins by car to the centre of Oxford with the option of a cross country route avoiding the congestion on the major routes.

What a find.
What a find. Rosemary the owner met us at the barn and showed us around and how everything worked. It has the wow factor as soon as you walk through the front door.There were 5 adults in our party and more than enough space for us all. Rosemary has done a wonderful job making the place feel very homely and relaxing, great outdoor space as well. We were there for 3 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back.
