Enjoyable weekend break
Beautifully situated along the canal. Short drive to Blenheim palace, Oxford or Bicester village for shopping. The cottage is clean and cosy. We had dinner at the jolly boatman on Saturday evening. We were very lucky with the weather.

We stayed for 9 days between house move. Absolutely gorgeous cottage in fabulous location. Incredibly peaceful yet a stone’s throw from pubs restaurants, shops and civilisation. Absolutely loved it!

“The Dovecote” by name sets your expectations for a small, intimate getaway. The property is small, but perfect for two people and the patio area is a lovely place to enjoy morning coffee or end-of-day drinks and watch the narrowboats glide along the canal. It is just as advertised and we’ll be back again. I’d suggest changing the two quite rigid kitchen chairs for something a bit more flexible-wicker? But just a perfect place for quiet and tranquility.
