    Kind & thoughtful welcome greeting to include wine & chocolate. Considering the size of the bathroom a much more relaxing size bath and shower would have been appreciated. Water temperature inconsistent and the pressure too made for a very uncomfortable shower time. We would recommend but wouldn’t return ourselves as an enclosed area for our dog to have freedom to roam would be our preference.

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at West Barn. It is set back in such lovely setting and it's a very popular choice with guests. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about the size of the bath at the cottage, it's just a standard bath size. With regards to the water, can i ask if you spoke to the owner about this, as I'm sure they would have been happy to look at it for you?. With regards to having an enclosed garden, your correct it doesn't have this, but we would be happy to advise you on another property for another future bookings, when you have an enclosed garden for your dog.

  • "We absolutely adored West Barn Cottage!"

    It was the perfect retreat. We are extremely pleased and happy we chose this wonderful and charming cottage for our Cotswold stay. We loved coming back from our village jaunts and being greeted by the pheasants lining the long driveway. The property was picture perfect with beautiful views of the countryside. It was cozy, yet very spacious, and had all the modern conveniences we needed.

  • "Excellent cottage in beautiful location."

    If there is any criticism it is to say that there were a significant number of cobwebs and some were unfortunately in the bedroom - next to the bedside cabinets etc and needed out attention!!

The lounge area has a large corner sofa, and wall-mounted TV, so you can keep up to date with all your favourite shows.

With a lovely dressing table in the corner and a large mirror, so you can get ready for the day in style.

Gather around the large dining room table for a lovely romantic meal together, which can be prepared in the modern kitchen, with all the appliances on-hand.

At the end of the day, you can crawl into a spacious king-size bed, or twin beds depending on your preference, and enjoy a good night's sleep in this lovely countryside setting.

Outside has a stone area with furniture provided, a lovely spot to sit out and enjoy the afternoon sun.

There is ample off-road parking.

About the location

TACKLEY

Woodstock 3 miles; Bicester 11 miles; Oxford 14 miles.

Tackley is a picturesque village situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, approx 8 miles north of Oxford and 3 miles from Woodstock, home of Blenheim Palace. The name Tackley is derived from 'tack' which means sheep or ewe and 'ley' which means glade or clearing! The village is very pretty, has a good village shop and a local pub The Gardiner Arms. There is another pub just outside the village called Sturdy's Castle.

Nearby there are some superb attractions to visit. Rousham Hall is very close by and although there are restrictions to visiting etc, it is a beautiful stately home. Oxford,'The city of the Dreaming Spires' and colleges is just 15 mins by car. There are literally hours of things to do there! For the determined shopper, Bicester Village which is a vast outlet centre.

Woodstock has a good range of local pubs, along with restaurants, shops and stores while the famous Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Malborough is well worth a day trip.
