Oxford. C16th Cottage In Courtyard Setting. Garden. Parking. Free Wifi.

Set in the courtyard of our own home, but completely separate and private, Gadbury Cottage is cosy and very comfortable whether your choice is for a winter or summer break. It offers an ideal location to discover Oxford and the nearby attractions of Oxford City, Blenheim Palace, Shotover Park, Waterperry Gardens, Otmoor nature reserve, the Chilterns and Cotswolds Hills. Wheatley has all the facilities to meet your immediate needs - 2 foodstores, baker, coffee shop, post office, bank and choice of restaurants and pubs. The village has a long history through it's location on the main coaching route from London to Oxford - it was once descibed as the most agreeable stopping place between Beaconsfield and Woodstock. Today it's transport links are still excellent being just 2 miles from the Thornhills Park and Ride and a similar distance from the M40. There are regular bus services to Oxford and to Haddenham/Thame train station. Central London is c53 miles and Heathrow c45 miles, both have good public transport links.

This cottage was perfect for our family of 3. Located in a charming village with great bus links into Oxford, we enjoyed the local pub for dinner, Waterperry Gardens to see the snowdrops, and having everything we needed in the cottage to make our stay easy. Communication with the owner was timely and easy. We loved learning about the history of the property and the village. We have already recommended to friends and if we find ourselves needing to stay in the area again, it will be our first choice .

Short stay in Wheatley

This was the perfect little cottage for us. It had what we needed and we were very comfortable. It’s was very walkable and had a bus nearby. People were very friendly. If we were to return to the area, we would look to stay here.

Excellent traditional cottage so close to pubs etc and Oxford!

Everything was as expected it was cosy and convenient, near several pubs and shops and just a half hour bus ride into Oxford. We also used it as a base for Bicester, the British Motor Museum and the Aston Heritage trust! So much to see in Oxford and surrounds and this is a great place to stay! Very good value for money

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely cottage. The location was perfect for us. Just a 30 minute bus ride into Oxford City Centre and just a short drive from Blenheim Palace. It is a very small cottage but was perfect for us. Ideal for couples or a couple with one child. There are some lovely walks right on your doorstep and we found the locals very friendly. We would definitely go back.

Great Little Cottage

If you want to visit Oxford, then this cottage is excellently located. You can catch the bus in to the city from the village, or the park and ride bus terminal is close by. The cottage is quiet and comfortable. Note that the double bedroom is on a mezzanine floor, so is open to the living space. The kitchen area is compact, but has all you need as long as you're not wanting to cook anything too ambitious. There is a Smart TV, so you have access to streaming services. We enjoyed our stay thank you.

Delightful and Charming

Was a wonderful find and the best choice in a old quiet town setting, but with easy access to all the conveniences- bus to Oxford, supermarket, great pub, main roads, etc. Jenny was so pleasant and accommodating before and during our stay, although we only met through our chats. Joseph was a very nice greeting and showed us where to park and walk to the bus stops the morning we arrived. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend to our friends and family.
