    “Generally a nice place to stay.”

    For the most part it was clean and comfortable and had plenty of space. The chimney was leaking rain and so the wood-burner was rusty and unusable, and had a puddle under it. The main problem was the shortage of kitchen equipment. There was not enough cutlery or bowls for a multi-course meal and snacks, so we were forever washing up, and there are no soup spoons. The cooking utensils are flimsy and not up to the job. There were only two small saucepans and a casserole, so cooking Christmas lunch ...

    For the most part it was clean and comfortable and had plenty of space. The chimney was leaking rain and so the wood-burner was rusty and unusable, and had a puddle under it. The main problem was the shortage of kitchen equipment. There was not enough cutlery or bowls for a multi-course meal and snacks, so we were forever washing up, and there are no soup spoons. The cooking utensils are flimsy and not up to the job. There were only two small saucepans and a casserole, so cooking Christmas lunch was a challenge. The owners had thoughtfully left us a disposable roasting tin for a turkey (which we didn't use as we are vegetarians) but otherwise the kitchen was inadequate and I was very pleased that we had taken some essential equipment with us. It would be fine if you only wanted to make breakfast there and then go out for the day, but you can't really cook for a big family. The pub in the village is excellent.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at White Stones. We are sorry to hear that you were unable to use the Wood-burner, our maintenance team are investigating this. Essential kitchen equipment is provided however if cooking large family meals it is advisable to bring your own items. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

The property

White Stones is a stone-fronted, three-bedroom residence located in the heart of Fulbrook, a small village in the county of Oxfordshire.

The home, which can accommodate six guests and one well-behaved dog, is surrounded by a variety of local facilities, heritage sites, and the River Windrush, and has close links to other villages and cities, also offering convenient amenities.

When you arrive at White Stones, take advantage of the off-road parking while walking up the front steps and into the spacious home.

Step into the welcoming sitting area, where you may relax in front of the woodburning stove, gather for a film night, or plan your trip to West Oxfordshire.

Beyond this, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen/diner with all the anticipated utilities to provide for your party, enjoy each other's company, and relish a home cooked meal or two; the ground-floor will also include a cloakroom.

Head outdoors to the back multi-level garden, which has been designed as the property's social centre, and be pleased by a big patio area with dining furniture in tow, before rising the steps further to find a private lawned area with loungers to relax into.

Head upstairs to the three inviting and sophisticated bedrooms, all created with leisure in mind, followed by a contemporary bathroom; your sleeping options will include a king-size with an en-suite shower room, a second king-size, and a twin.

With so much to do in the Fulbrook region, spend the day at Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens and participate in penguin feeding slots, visit Crocodiles of the World, the UK's only crocodile zoo, or take a stroll through Lodge Park and Sherborne Park Estate's lovely grounds.

Discover the Grade II listed model hamlet in the Cotswolds, navigate The Dragonfly Maze, or take a guided stroll around the national beauty of the Cotswolds.

Further afield in Oxfordshire, visit the Butterfly House, explore the ancient remnants of Oxford Castle & Prison, or take a tour of the renowned Oxford University Museum of Natural History and its internationally significant collection.
