“Spring cottage was an absolutely delightful place to stay,both in terms of the cottage and its location.”

I will look back fondly at memories made during my stay,and if I ever return to the area,I would time it so that I could stay at spring cottage again.

“What a lovely cottage in a beautiful village.”

The accommodation was excellent and the beds were extremely comfortable. Myself and my daughter wanted a central location for the things we wanted to visit in the area and this was ideal. Oxford and Blenheim Palace to the south, afternoon tea at Bletchley Park to the east, Stratford upon Avon to the west, Warwick Castle to the north, along with a number of National Trust properties and some walking in the Abbey grounds We had a couple of minor problems, but Sue, the housekeeper, dealt with them very quickly and efficiently. Looking forward to coming back again to see more of the area.

- Roy, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. It sounds like you both had a wonderful time exploring the Cotswolds and a little further afield. We would love to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Sue September 2023

“The cottage is beautiful and in the most idyllic village.”

Everything was perfect in the property. Loved being able to walk through the grounds of Wroxton Abbey

Alan September 2022

“This was our second stay in Spring Cottage this year.”

It is hard to imagine a better-presented holiday home in a more picturesque setting. The grounds of Wroxton Abbey, just across the road, are really appealing for a walk, especially in the early-evening sunlight. The next- door neighbours (the village ducks) were a bit quieter at night this time round, possibly because the mating season was well and truly over.

- Alan, September 2022

We are very pleased to have welcomed you to Spring Cottage twice in succession. Thank you for your lovely comments. We are glad that you enjoy the setting and wildlife. We look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes Hideaways Property Owner
James August 2022

“On the whole a lovely stay.”

Its a small, cosy and very clean place with no garden and the small outside space is very visible to all passers (though the cottage is just across the road from the lovely University gardens). Set in the most beautiful village and next to a picturesque duck pond it is really well located for some fab locations in Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and the cotswolds. Patsy the housekeeper was lovely, responsive and fantastic. But the house has a few niggles - the shower water pressure isn't great and the shower hose looks as if it might split soon. There were a few spiders but it's a thatched cottage, that is to be expected. The freezer is in the garage which can only be accessed by leaving the house (and was off when we arrived). The TV was a bit small but fitting for the really nice inglenook fireplace. Sound proofing was limited and you can hear easily between the lounge and the two bedrooms. The people in the village were really helpful and friendly. Although it's quite a list the niggles are all small, we'd definitely consider coming back.

- James, August 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay and also the lovely village setting. As the cottage is Grade II listed, we don't want to spoil the character in any way but the matters you mention are being looked into so thank you for bringing them to our attention. We hope they didn't impact your stay and that we can welcome you again. Property Owner

“We had a lovely week in the Cotswolds and especially in Spring Cottage.”

The accommodation was very cosy, very complete and very nice. We enjoyed the enviroment and the duckpoint was a very nice touch.

Alan May 2022

“A stay at Spring Cottage puts you front-and-centre of Wroxton life.”

You are living next door to the village duck pond and across the road from the beautiful gardens of Wroxton Abbey. Wroxton is arguably the most attractive of a crop of stunning villages in the Banbury area and this cottage, with its lovely ironstone walls and thatched roof, fits perfectly into the scene. It is also comfortable, beautifully appointed and well-equipped. We are already planning a return visit. Alan

- Alan, May 2022

Thank you Alan for your lovely feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Spring Cottage, and particularly enjoyed the village atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming your again. Property Owner
Teresa July 2021

“The village is lovely as is the cottage.”

The beds were super comfy with gorgeous linen . We could easily park two large cars. All the pubs in the village are now closed The nearest place for food is a few miles away. The cottage has no freezer or even an ice box which is worth noting.as the village also does not have a shop. Sainsbury’s Ocado and Waitrose do deliver . A beautiful cottage in an idyllic position .

- Teresa, July 2021
Tony July 2021

“The description of the cottage mentioned on two occasions, there were 2 pubs in the village but they both have been closed for a while now.”

I did contact Sykes via feedback about this but received no response. Very misleading. The cottage is lovely, so quiet and the village of Wroxton is quiet and beautiful too. We would happily stay again. Would benefit from a small freezer for ice etc, for those hot Summer days and its a bit of a lip driving onto the drive from the road. Its kinder to your car to park on the road next to the duck pond. Really comfortable though, but TV is on the small side. We would be happy to stay again, but Sykes should correct the listing though

“Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.”

...only ten minutes drive from the centre of Banbury and accessible to many Cotswold beauty spots by car....it is like being in a place that time forgot, really lovely and relaxing, would definitely recommend.

Pamela September 2020

“Spring Cottage was cosy and comfortable.”

All furnishings were of a good quality. The cottage had been thoroughly cleaned for our arrival and a couple of lights had been left on to make it feel welcoming.

- Pamela, September 2020
Christine August 2020

“The lovely duck pond is an added bonus.”

The housekeeper was very helpful. The house has lots of character, very quirky. Easy parking. We found the local walks folder very helpful and tried many. Not suitable for people who have mobility issues. The house is in an excellent position to explore the area. The shower area of the bathroom was adequate but could do with an update but this minor issue did not detract from a wonderful holiday. Tip sit in the large window recess to make phonecalls or send texts.

- Christine, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Spring Cottage. We always value all feedback we get from our guest's and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner
Ian August 2020

“The cottage although visibly attractive did not live up to expectation.”

It was not cleaned to an acceptable standard. We had to wash glasses, utensils and empty crumbs out of the drawers and more. We also had to hoover behind the furniture which judging by the dust and cobwebs had not been cleaned for over a week.

- Ian, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Spring Cottage. We take all feedback very seriously and have spoken to the owner regarding this. The Housekeeper takes pride in cleaning the cottage and because it's a thatched cottage it does get cobwebs very quickly after cleaning. With regards to the crumbs and utensils that might have been missed, the Housekeeper is very apologetic that she missed this, she believes this was due to the amount of Covid cleaning she is doing and it was missed off.

A lovely cosy cottage, a good base to explore the oxfordshire countryside if there was just one negative it would be the lack of a banister on the stairs but this did not spoil our holiday

Ron June 2019

“Beautyfull cottage in a friendly and quiet little town.”

Too bad both the pubs were out of business. Plenty of places to visit in a spectacular countryside. All in all we had a very fine holiday and will be back for sure. Ron

“Beautiful cottage, it had everything we needed, very clean.”

We would highly recommend staying there.

Hilary January 2019

“It was a lovely cosy cottage, with all the equipment and facilities necessary, but perhaps more suitable for a weekend than an extended stay.”

A couple of points: 1We were surprised, given we were staying three weeks at the property, not to be offered cleaning or change of linen and towels. We did not anticipate having to do our own cleaning and bedding laundry in a 'holiday' cottage. When I raised this with the company I was told the expectation was that we should arrange it ourselves with the owners - but we did not have any direct contact with the owners and in any case, we were not aware of the requirement. 2.the heating in the living room was on all night which made it very hot. There were strict instructions not to change the settings so we didn't. Heating in the kitchen was working as set out in the information folder.

- Hilary, January 2019
Keith September 2018

“This was less like a holiday cottage and more like a home.”

Perfectly kitted out and everything thought of. Lovely furnishings with great personal touches that made the cottage even more welcoming. Very cosy and very comfortable.

“We have stayed many times in Spring Cottage and have always really enjoyed it.”

The cottage is a real picture perfect "cottage" and although quite small is very comfortable with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and lounge. It is ideally situated next to the village duck pond in what must be one of the prettiest villages in Oxfordshire. There are lovely walks in the Abbey grounds which are only a few meters away and it is not far from a lot of the main tourist attractions in the Cotswolds making it an ideal base for a holiday

- Kevin Taylor,
Catherine Dolton

“The cottage is so superbly appointed, there was really nothing missing at all.”

Add to that a lovely welcome, and so much information on the area and what to see and do, it all made a huge difference to our holiday. It felt like staying at a friend's house. Spring Cottage was absolutely beautiful, in a village that has to be one of the best kept secrets in the country!

- Catherine Dolton,
Mr & Mrs Trox

“The cottage was located in a lovely village and it was a great place to settle into for our short break.”

Just a short walk from the cottage was The White Horse Inn that had great food. We loved the thatched roof on the cottage. It was very quiet at night and the beds were comfortable.

- Mr & Mrs Trox,
Kohter

“Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

The children loved the duck pond and walks around the college

The property

Full of rustic and authentic charm, Spring Cottage occupies a delightful and tranquil setting overlooking the village green and duck pond in the beautiful Wroxton.

The property lies in a quiet corner of the village well away from the main road.

The Wroxton House Hotel is a stone's throw away while the wonderful landscaped gardens and lakes of Wroxton Abbey (College) offer guests lovely walks through the grounds.

The owners of this picturesque cottage have devoted much time and effort into re-establishing its original character with it's magnificient oak beams and stone walls.

All the rooms are well presented and give a really homely feel.

If you are a keen cyclist wishing to explore the area on two wheels, then you should certainly consider this cosy cottage for short break or longer as there is bike storage available and plenty of routes right on the doorstep.

WROXTON

Banbury 3 miles; Leamington Spa 25 miles.

The thriving village of Wroxton is situated in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside just three miles north west of Banbury. The ancient village boasts a village green and pond, home to an abundance of wildlife, with its own thatched duck house and many thatched cottages. Wroxton Abbey is a beautiful 15th century manor house set in landscaped gardens and is located in the centre of this unspoilt village. The nearby historic market town of Banbury sits on the banks of the River Cherwell in the Cherwell Valley, and dates back to the Iron Age and offers an abundance of amenities including restaurants, cafes, a canalside museum, many individual shops, cinema and local theatre. Visitors can enjoy narrowboat rides on the Oxford canal, many lovely walks and cycle routes, horse riding, golf, as well as the annual Banbury Folk Festival. Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill, and the beautiful village of Woodstock are just a short drive away from Wroxton, while the university city of Oxford, home to the oldest university in England and known as 'The City of Dreaming Spires', is well worth a visit. Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of Sir William Shakespeare, Warwick with its magnificent castle and Royal Leamington Spa are all within an hour’s drive. A great holiday destination at any time of year.
