Welcome to Wisteria Cottage in historic Watlington, Oxfordshire, a beautifully renovated 2 bedroom character cottage with sunny garden which has been described by previous guests as a real "home from home". We are surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Chilterns AONB seen in the tv series "Midsomer Murders". Popular with guests looking for a romantic couples base close to spas, golf courses, historic houses, world class gastronomic experiences and Bicester Designer Village, it also appeals to walkers wanting to explore the many footpaths including 2 of our National Trails, The Ridgeway and Thames Path.
One (or possibly 2 small) well behaved dog(s) is/are welcome (but not on the bed please) at an additional cost. Please discuss bringing an indoor cat prior to booking
Relax with a book in the sunny garden, or light the wood burning stove for a romantic evening in. Keep warm with full gas central heating in all rooms and have a lie in watching a small bedroom tv too.
Explore the lovely Chilterns by foot or bike along the Ridgeway National Trail, visit historic houses and gardens, take day trips to London, Oxford, Windsor, Henley and Marlow or walk /cycle along the Thames Path at Henley or Wallingford 8 miles or cycle The Swans Way, the Watlington 50, the Chilterns Cycle Route and the Watlington Loop.
Stay here for a romantic break, a cycling/walking holiday, visiting friends/family, whilst working locally, escaping the builders or for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the English countryside.
The cottage is cosy and provides a high standard of comfort yet maintains character features like wooden ceiling beams downstairs (mind your head!) and a wood burning stove with a basket of logs provided for you to use. The downstairs bathroom and kitchen offer everything you may hope to find. The porcelain tiled bathroom has a 1500mm bath with wall mounted shower at one end, small basin, WC, radiator, heated towel rail, washer/dryer, shaving/vanity mirror, shaver point and high quality fixtures and fittings. Complimentary bath/shower products are provided for your convenience. The kitchen has an electric oven, ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with a small icebox. The gas powered central heating boiler is hidden in a cupboard to match the units
Lots of cooking equipment is provided although there are 2 great pubs with gardens which provide meals in the town and also a fish and chip shop and an Indian restaurant which also offers takeaway food. The local shops are mainly independent and family run like a butcher, bread shop, a beautiful lighting shop, a deli/cafe, and a shop focussing on sustainability.
Now for things you need to know!
Pocket Wi-Fi with reasonable usage is provided
From two off road parking spaces adjacent to the B4009, walk through a gate into the fully enclosed sunny front garden with lawns, flower beds and a patio area which includes a table and seating for 4 people and a traditional Weber BBQ. The front door leads into the cosy sitting room which has restricted head height due to the beam so anyone tall needs to be careful. Here there is a comfortable sofa, 2 tub chairs, a foldaway dining table and chairs, a coffee table and a 32" TV. The little log burner provides both extra heat and a focal point and a basket of logs is provided. If you need more, they are available to buy in the village garage/petrol station. Going through an open door way, you get to the kitchen and from here a shorter and narrower than average door takes you into a lobby (often used as a dog bedroom) leading to both the bathroom and back door.
Outside is a small courtyard area with a washing line. There is a private sunny seating area just perfect for breakfast or morning coffee.
The staircase also leads off the kitchen to the 2 bedrooms, both with a garden view and blackout for a great sleep. The larger has a double bed with a new Hypnos medium firmness 1.40m mattress and hand crafted fitted wardrobes with a dressing table/desk area next to a 22" tv with Free view channels so you can watch in bed. The other small bedroom has a single bed with a memory foam mattress and has a foldaway child’s Z bed underneath. There is a small fitted wardrobe. High quality bed linen, towels, pillows, mattress protectors and duvets of different weights for summer and winter are provided as standard for all beds but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. Sheets and blankets can be provided with 2 weeks advance notice.
PLEASE note that we cannot be held responsible for any loss or lack of services or amenities such as water, gas or electricity whilst you are staying at Wisteria Cottage. These are completely outside our control. They are all dependent on outside providers who will hopefully do their best to resolve the situation. However we will not refund any monies you have paid or find alternative accommodation as it is not a situation we have been part of. If we have to cancel your reservation before your arrival date due to an emergency situation, such as a fire or flood, or a national lockdown which renders the property uninhabitable, we will refund all monies paid. We STRONGLY suggest that all guests have travel insurance.
We ask guests to leave the cottage neat and tidy on departure. We ask if possible for bed linen to be removed and left in a neat pile and for all bins to be emptied into the dustbins. This is to ensure that the safety of our housekeeper is not compromised.
