Overview
Property code: 88963

This wonderful cottage is situated on the owner’s farm with its own private area to ensure a relaxing break away from it all. The local village of Shabbington has a riverside pub and the River Thame borders the property with riverside walks nearby.  Thame (3.9 miles) is worth a visit for its weekly market on Tuesday. Long Crendon (2.2 miles) is a picturesque village, famous for being a filming location of Midsomer Murders. Also easily accessible is Oxford (12.5 miles), renowned for its world class colleges and stunning architecture across the city. To enjoy a little bit of retail therapy, Bicester Village is only 14 miles away. Head up the driveway up through the farm to the cottage, which has its own private area for you to be able to relax and enjoy this peaceful location.

 As you step into the cottage you will be able to discard boots and coats in a useful cupboard within the hallway after a busy day exploring. Make your way into the lounge which has comfortable seating and a Smart TV. There are patio doors with views across the farm and access out to the front of the cottage. Off the lounge there is a fully equipped kitchen. Head back into the hallway and you will find three bedrooms, one double and two singles, along with a bathroom. All of the bedrooms have TVs.

Wonderful area the cottage is based in, saw lots of wildlife surrounding the cottage, and the cows are very curious. It is very peaceful and quiet, it's great when relaxing in the hot tub. The pub is only just a walk down the road, the staff is very friendly there. Would recommend the village of Thame, plenty of shops, perfect for gift shopping, thRead moree dog got complimentary sausages from the Treacles Tea Room. Definitely recommend visiting Cotswold Zoo, they allow dogs and it is brilliant there. Hide

This is a stunning location & the property is so comfortable overall. We did not want our holiday to end & will return without hesitation. It is on a working farm with lots of evidence of sheep but this did not bother us at all.

A wonderfully peaceful and comfortable property with uninterrupted views of fields full of friendly sheep. The enclosed garden was a suntrap when the sun decided to show itself!

We had the pleasure of staying at Manor Farm Lodge for 4 weeks at the start of this year. The location is very scenic and quiet. The lodge itself is very well equipped and spacious. We felt very comfortable there and settled in very easily given our longish stay. Diana is very welcoming and friendly and happy to help out with anything she can. Hot Read moretub was a real bonus! Definitely would recommend for short or long stays (we would have stayed longer if not for it being so popular and booked up!) Hide
