Description and reviews are spot on . We wanted to be near to Blenheim Palace. We were. We wanted a comfortable and private place. We got it. The kitchen was well equipped. The large bed was very comfortable. We received a lovely warm welcome from Janet and Mark. We highly recommend Manse Cottage

Relaxing and peaceful
Lovely property with wonderful garden and quiet position, perfect for relaxing after our weekend full on equine course. Wonderful hosts who provided everything you could wish for from tea and coffee to cereals, jams and honey. We visited Churchill's grave and nearby Woodstock. Blenhiem is only over the road and you can walk into the parkland. Well done to our hosts!

The great cottage
The cottage very good. It just advertised and more. Janet and mark were wonderful to deal with very well organized. Nothing was left to chance. This stay was just what we needed. This is worth staying at and if we return to the UK this will be the first place we book. Thank you

Beautiful and Cozy!
This is a beautiful little apartment set in a lovely garden. It has been perfectly designed to give privacy from the owners home, which is ideal. It is decorated to a very high standard and is immaculate inside and out. If you wish, you can walk to Blenheim Palace and it's only a short car ride away from Woodstock. It has everything you need for a perfect stay. What more could you want!

Beautiful !!
So pretty, clean and romantic, being very quiet and snug for two. One of the nicest places I have ever stayed. Lovely touches having milk, fruit, coffee and cakes on arrival. Owners always on hand to help and advise and easy to talk to. Very close to Blenheim Palace, Woodstock (both you could walk to) and Oxford. Would happily have stayed a lot longer. Would totally recommend.

Perfect little retreat
Manse Cottage is ideally located to visit Blenheim Palace (a 3 minute walk takes you to pedestrian gates) & to explore the wider Cotswolds region. It is furnished & equipped to the highest level & you feel 'at home' as soon as you walk through the door. I knew Janet was going to be a fantastic host when she messaged me to ask our milk preference! And she most definitely did not disappoint. Thank you Janet. We will look forward to staying at Manse Cottage again in the future.

Perfect for visiting Blenheim Palace
Great location for visiting the Christmas light trail at Blenheim - just a 20 minute walk away. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equiped, and warm & toasty on a -4degC night. Janet was a very welcoming & helpful host. Highly recommended, and we will certainly book again when we're next back this way.

So homely and inviting
Janet really goes the extra mile with the cottage and how well presented it is. Every little touch adds to the magic and she’d made it all festive for the stay - lovely and very considerate. It’s close to so many things - Woodstock is Great and Blenheim palace is also on the doorstep.

Great cottage in an good location
This is an excellent property in a good location for visiting Blenheim, Oxford or the Cotswolds. Exactly as described it is well equipped and tastefully furnished and decorated. Warm and friendly welcome from Janet and Mark was much appreciated as was the provision of tea cakes, fruit, milk and tea/coffee in the cottage kitchen after a long journey. Definitely planning to stay here again.

Mini getaway
Me and my other half had an amazing stay. The cottage is beautiful. And we was looked after very well. Only down fall was there aint any takeaways near by, and no one delivers that far out. So we had to drive 20 mins to go get some food. Apart from that it is a fantastic place to stay. Will definitely be going back :) Thank you so much.
