    Requested a early check in from 2pm as had a booking at the farmers dog so needed time to get ready but it was knocked back due to cleaning but other than that everything was very clean and modern will be staying again next time we go!

    Everything was perfect all the little details made it special and very private

    Outside was full of cobwebs and not maintained. The bathroom also smelt musty along with the towels. Also found it difficult to get in contact with the owner to make arrangements for my partners birthday balloons but by the time I had a response it was too late to send balloons via post.

    Cute and modern.

    Gate into property was difficult to open as it was dragging on the path. The only thing inside the property was a tea towel.

    Good, peaceful location & very easy instructions to find the property. Property very clean & well equipped. Love the personal touches of milk, orange juice & lovely yogurts, which was most welcome.

    Unfortunately the gate into property was very difficult to open which would hinder older/less able guests. On this occasion the fan in bathroom did not appear to work.

    Facilities were very well thought out and little touches such as milk, orange juice & yogurts in fridge were very much appreciated. A small space extremely well thought out, coffee machine & microwave as well as kettle all made for a very easy stay. Decor & finishing touches are fantastic. Weather didn't really permit sitting outside but the area provided with bbq, pizza oven & heater are a really lovely addition. Certainly a lovely quiet spot.

    Lovely pod that exceeded expectations. Everything you need for a couple of nights stay, attention to detail was lovely and was so nice to have milk, orange juice and some yogurts in the fridge upon arrival. All amenities you'd need to cook with the oven ,air fryer and available pizza oven and small bbq outside. Very clean room and incredibly comfy bed. Messaged Hannah upon arrival and very fast attentive replies, would definitely book again.

    The only negative was the wooden gate which needs a bit of TLC.

    The Pod was clean and comfortable, good facilities. Everything you would want for a couple of days. Plenty of storage, comfortable bed. Milk, juice, water, tea,coffee. Great value for money ideal for us only ten minutes from Witney Lakes Resort.

    We struggled to use the coffee maker, but Hannah was really helpful when we texted for help.

    We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautifully decorated pod in the Oxfordshire countryside. The orange juice and yoghurts that Hannah left in the fridge for us were delicious. We really appreciated the fresh milk & bottled water too. We felt a warm welcome. Indeed the heating was just right & could easily be managed to suit the weather. The fridge was larger than we expected for a mini fridge which was really helpful. The bed was really comfortable. We appreciated the many choices that the TV offered. The ambience of the whole place was very relaxing.

    Cannot think of anything we didn't like.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Warm and cosy on entry in mid January. Clean, well-organised. Clear instructions. Private. Fresh milk, orange juice and yoghurts in the fridge, coffee pods and kettle. Highly recommend a stay there. Can't wait to stay again in the summer with all the outside opportunities it provides.

    It was very creaky and noisy throughout the night/early hours of the morning.

    Beautifully designed and put together in terms of the interior style. Lovely location and a fantastic amount of space available outside. Perfect for a short stay.

    This isn't a reflection on the property, more location tip - we struggled to find a taxi company that would take us into nearby Witney for an evening out - only taxi that said they had something available wanted to charge £30! So we stayed in instead, which wasn't the end of the world! :)

    Adorable little place, very thoughtfully decorated and had everything we needed - perfect for a date night away! And very reasonable price! Was worried from the pictures that the bed may be a small double, but we found it extremely comfortable!

    Quiet area, very clean and tidy. Well presented with a few amenities given to us. Close to Oxford and there are many pubs within 30 mins of the pod. Lovely miniature home to stay in and could quite easily spend a week here. Clear and informative instructions on how to get in and leave!
