• "Amazing property, 3 generations staying for a week."

  A perfect location to explore the cotswolds. Our 2 year old loved the woodland and treehouse!

• "Superb accommodation."

  Well designed, perfect for us (3 generations - grand parents upstairs, my husband and I in the double and the kids in the twin). Wonderful light, beautiful design and great facilities. Would happily stay again. Also such a nice walk to Mason arms for a pint or dinner. Road traffic is quiet, we walked there with a pram and never worried about cars.

  The property had everything we needed. The kids loved all the outdoor areas.

• "Ideally suited a couple of miles outside Witney, this stylish, contemporary 5* holiday let is especially light because of the sliding opening glass doors along the whole front of the building."

  This brings the outside in especially with the sliding glass door on the side looking straight into the little wood. The polished concrete floors and kitchen worktops are very smart and practical. We had everything we needed and every comfort. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. We were 2 couples with 2 dogs so there was plenty of space and the walks straight from the front door were great, spotting a deer most days and Red Kite and tge odd rabbit. Lots of birdsong! We enjoyed our days out at Witney, The Game Fair at Blenheim, Blenheim Palace, High Cogges Manor, Burford, Burford Garden Centre, The Swan at Swinbrook , Whichford Pottery, Bampton, The Double Red Duke at Clanfield, Sezincote Manor, Moreton on the Marsh to mention just a few.

  You really made the most of your visit to the area! Thank you for your lovely feedback, and I’m so glad you got to see some of the local wildlife, always a bonus. Property Owner

• "We really felt at home in the cottage, loved the place."

  Very clean, good quality. What should be added to the listing is the fact that there are car charging options at the cottage, this was an additional bonus for us!

  Thank you for the feedback! We are so pleased you felt at home. I’ve checked and made sure that the car charging is detailed in the property listing on the Sykes website. Thank you Property Owner

  .... if you have dogs its a great place to walk dogs. I think it's just getting to the point where a lick of paint won't go a miss.

  Hello, the painters are booked! So glad you enjoyed it. I hope that if you come back we’ll have it looking freshened up for you! Property Owner

• "Our stay at the cart shed was amazing."

  Our 10 and 13 year old boys enjoyed playing on the zip line and in the tree house. The property is beautiful with comfortable beds and lovely views of the Oxfordshire countryside. It is expertly maintained and was clean and spacious. For days out, we would recommend Blenheim Palace and also jumping on the bus into Oxford and visiting the Ashmolean and Natural History Museums.

  Wonderful to hear, thank you so much for your review, it really does make a difference to receive such positive and kind words. Property Owner

• "Our family of three had such a lovely stay- we would highly recommend the Cart Shed as a base for exploring the area."

  Clean, warm, beautifully designed and hospitable hosts. The only problem we encountered was on our last night was a random dance party held close by with extraordinarily loud music which kept us awake all night before very long journey home to Australia. Not the hosts fault, obviously, but it took the shine off an otherwise lovely stay. We will be back!

  I am so sorry that you had that experience with loud music. It could have been a neighbouring farm with maybe an assisting prevailing wind. I hope (and trust) that it won’t be an issue for you again! Property Owner

• "The accommodation was lovely and so comfortable!"

  The toiletries and groceries were appreciated. Highlights were the location for evening walks and the huge sliding windows to let the outside in! It’s in a very quiet area but close to lots of Cotswolds highlights! We would love to come back and explore further! Thank you!

• "Very nice cottage."

  Very quiet location and some great paths for anyone who likes to run, jog,walk. The ability to lock windows in an open position would be great to ventilate the rooms whilst out. Don’t know if this could be done retrospectively. Only issue was a bathroom lock , that Ben came and sorted.

  So glad it was enjoyable, apologies there was an issue with a door, and glad we could get it sorted. Alas, we have no way to make the building secure whilst the windows are open, even retrospectively alas. We hope that the sliding glazed doors and the upstairs skylights enabled you to ventilate satisfactorily whilst in there. Property Owner

• "Amazing property!"

  Couldn’t believe how good it was for the price - there were lots in the area that weren’t as nice and much more expensive. Whole place was spotlessly clean, comfortable, modern and spacious :) lots of things included - like milk, eggs, well kitted-out kitchen, other useful things like ironing board/airer, and also noticed there were baby items like a high chair and travel cot. Would definitely stay again if in the area, and would recommend to anyone

• "Absolutely lovely property."

  Really well finished and comfortable. We enjoyed a stay as 4 adults and one young baby. We had taken a travel cot but one was available for using the property if we had wanted to use it. The kitchen is well equipped but you may want to take a large pan if cooking for 4 adults. Beds very comfortable and the bathrooms are lovely, especially the lovely bath under a skylight window. We had a look at the treehouse earlier, this would be amazing for kids staying at the property! Electric vehicle charging right outside the property - very well received! Well positioned for exploring!

  Thank you for the lovely review, we are so pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed The Cart Shed. We will make sure we put a bigger pan in for future guests! Thanks for letting us know :) Property Owner

  Even on the mostly overcast days we spent there, there was a sense of space and light and comfort. The downstairs shower was excellent, there was a spare fridge and freezer, a washing .aching and drier, all needs and amenities catered for. Parking is good, Witney is very nearby and you are well placed for Oxford too. We did not take much advantage of the outside areas and fire pit but we look forward to visiting again on sunnier days, knowing that all our needs are catered for.

  It's a super dog friendly property and very close to Witney which has plenty of shops for groceries etc. It was very clean with comfortable furniture & beds, loads of nice crockery and good quality toiletries provided.

• "We had the most wonderful stay in the cart shed at High Cogges farm."

  Highest marks in all the important categories: cleanliness, coziness and communication! Our hosts articulated everything we needed to know, and more, in a thoughtful pre-arrival email and during our stay they were always at the ready to answer questions or offer recommendations. What a rare treat to be staying in a historic structure yet have the comforts and amenities of a superbly stylish modern dwelling. Anything you could possibly need can be found stowed away like a well-appointed ship: hair dryer, laundry supplies, converters … It may take you a moment or two to find the silverware but the sleek aesthetic is more than worth it. The interior design was entirely pleasing with sparingly chosen items of natural beauty - even the shampoo and soap were a treat for the senses. Not to mention our surroundings! Given the fall weather we weren’t able to take advantage of the indoor/ outdoor living with the retractable glass walls.. but we did appreciate the fire pit tucked in the wooded children’s wonderland out back! Also, a walk in any direction offers up stunning bucolic vistas. We took advantage of the pastoral walks available right out our doorstep. We had a lovely morning stroll to the farm museum for a coffee and were really looking forward to the 5 mile round trip walk to the Mason’s Arms but we were running out of time so we decided we would leave that for the next time, as we will no doubt be back!

• "Thank you! We all had a wonderful time at The Cart Shed."

  The property is clean, comfortable, well equipped and stylish. Self-catering for the six of us was no problem in the kitchen once we had learned the vagaries of the various handle-less cupboards! The only thing we missed was a pair of scissors. The glass front and side windows/doors are a great feature. we loved opening them to feel like we were part of the surroundings. The fire-pit and surrounding woodland area gave us a lovely evening toasting marshmallows (and night-time zip-wire fun for the brave!). We had fun bat-detecting, moth-trapping, bird-spotting and general nature-watching in and around the area, which is lovely for walking. Unfortunately we didn't spot the hedgehogs. It was a short drive to various interesting days out and further walks. The weather was kind to us, but it would be a fantastic stay in the winter with the fire keeping everyone toasty while curling up with a book or playing board-games.

  Ah thanks for posting this, what lovely feedback. I hadn’t realised the scissors had gone! Replaced already! Thanks for flagging it up. Property Owner

  However, there seems to be a gap between what they want to achieve and what you are promoting. Specifically, when I sought to add The Granary to my original booking for The Cartshed, you insisted on a separate booking, (saying that was what the owners wanted)and charging another booking fee. Since then, you have bombarded me with separate emails for the 2 properties (including this one) and unwanted promotions, which were of no possible interest (and very expensive). The kind of information I needed was readily available from the owners.
