“The property was excellent both in facilities and area,”

- Mr Hargitt, December 2019
“Groom Cottage is absolutely lovely.”

From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The owners are lovely people and my grandchildren loved feeding apples and carrots to their two horses Archie and Red every day. I cannot find any fault with this lovely place and would highly recommend. Thank you...Kriegler and Bialas family

- Ms Kriegler, December 2019

Thank you for leaving your lovely comments on Old Groom's Cottage. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to feed Archie and Red. Manor Cottages Owner relations
“Grooms Cottage was a delightful place.”

Clean and lovely and warm. Our November break was cold with frost every morning but the place was toasty. Really convenient location, quiet but handy for Oxford and the rest of the Cotswolds. Burford is worth a visit and if you want a fabulous meal, try the Horse & Radish in Minster Lovell, what a treat that was.

- Mr Birh, November 2019
“Another beautiful cottage and perfect location for that relaxing time away but central to all sorts of adventures!”

from shopping at Bicester village to exploring the cotsworlds this is the perfect cottage for all aspects of a get away! Tracey the owner also a great host so helpful with every need would definitely recommend this cottage and will definitely be returning! thanks so much

- Miss Briggs, November 2019

We are glad Old Groom's Cottage was the perfect for all aspects of your get away. Thank you for recommending this cottage and look forward return! Owner relations
“We were 4 adults and the small downstairs bedroom was adequate for 2 adults and none of us is small.”

We had a very relaxing long weekend stay at Grooms Cottage . We visited Cheltenham, Burford and Witney. The hosts Stuart and Tracy were very welcoming and the Goodie box was most appreciated. We also had the added bonus of meeting Archie and Red the resident horses. We most definitely would return to this cottage, it was easy to find with the instructions given. Also a great base for a visit to the Cotswolds.

- Mrs Cain, November 2019

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Old Groom's Cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future! Owner relations
“We feel that the downstairs bedroom is 2 small for 2 adults, ok for 1 adult or 2 young children.”

with 2 adults there is not enough room.

- Mrs Cattermole, September 2019
“The owners were very friendly and helpful,the cottage is located in a great area for sightseeing.”

- Mr Pullinger, September 2019
“Lovely clean cottage tucked away in a quiet position.”

Everything one could need and the owners were friendly and very pleasant. Would visit again if wanting to stay in that area. Very handy location for visiting TheCotswolds.

- Mrs Walker, September 2019
“This holiday cottage was the cleanest, most well presented and homely holiday accomadation we have ever stayed in, in the UK.”

The owner was on site and was very friendly and welcoming. The welcome pack which included fresh bread was much appreciated as was ample supplies of essentials such as toilet rolls. The location is ideal for exploring the Oxfordshire area/ East Cotswolds and Minster Lovell itself is an extremely nice village to stay in. The only very slight gripe we had was the Freeview channels could be a bit tricky with intermitent problems use which appeared to be due to signal loss.

- Mrs Hull, August 2019
“This was a lovely cottage set in a peaceful area.”

The hosts were very welcoming, but not intrusive. The welcome box was much appreciated.

- Mrs Terry, July 2019
“The cottage just perfect.”

- Mr Stevens, June 2019
“Lovely clean cottage.”

Tracey thoughtfully provided a practical welcome basket of bread, butter, jam and milk which was so appreciated as we were held up during our flight this year and for the first time in twenty years of coming from Australia we didn't shop on the way to our first cottage. So, thank you Tracey. Loved having the animals around and feeding the horses.

- Mr Watkins, June 2019
“The house is stunning with everything you need there for the perfect stay!”

A wonderful welcome box was left with a selection of lovely items and even some fresh bread. Thank you!

- Mrs Skinner, May 2019
“The house was great - second bedroom was too small for adults but that was the only downside.”

Apart from that everything was perfect and Stuart and Tracy were most accommodating - even left us a small Cotswolds gift! They went above and beyond, would highly recommend.

- Mr Marriott, April 2019
“Lovely cottage, perfectly clean an well equipped.”

On our arrival we found a delicious welcome box. The location is absolutely perfect for trips to Oxford and into the Cotswolds.

- Mrs Gerstenberg, April 2019
“We loved our stay at the Groom's Cottage - it had everything we needed for a relaxing break and is in a brilliant location for exploring the Cotswolds.”

We'd definitely like to stay there again next time we're in the area.

“We had the most enjoyable stay at Groom's Cottage.”

Everything we could have needed was available. The cottage was immaculate throughout and the beds and towels were very comfortable. Stuart & Tracy were very friendly. My daughter particularly enjoyed seeing the horses and hens. If we were to stay within the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to come back.

- Stephen and Isobel,
“We have had a lovely week @ Groom's Cottage.”

A very luxurious cottage with everything you need. All the small touches are so thoughtful from the welcome basket to the cotton wool & tissues in the bathroom, even rubber gloves in the kitchen!\ The bathroom is like having your own personnel spa and we love the soft lighting - perfect.\ The whole cottage is very welcoming and we will be back.\

- Mr and Mrs Bennett,
“A very enjoyable stay.”

The cottage is lovely with very comfortable beds! Very well equipped and very tastefully designed, furnished & decorated. \ Visited several pretty villages and had a very relaxing few days. Out r first visit to the Cotswolds and certainly not disappointed! Thank you for the welcome pack, a very nice thought!\

- Mr and Mrs Lednot,
“A very comfortable cottage with everything you would need for a home from home experience.”

The en-suite is like having your very own spa.

- Mrs Bennett,
“This is the most beautiful cottage I've ever stayed in!”

I stayed with my two children for a week and we were so impressed. Spotlessly clean and smelt wonderful! Beautiful ensuite to the upstairs bedroom and a lovely view of the horses and stables to wake to each morning. Tracy and Stuart made us feel so welcome and with all the luxuries of home this cottage is a must. Minster Lovell is a pretty little village and within great distance to all the attractions Oxford has to offer. We will most certainly be booking Grooms cottage again in the future. Thankyou Tracy and Stuart for a wonderful stay

Minster Lovell is a village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire on the River Windrush. It is popular for its ruin Minster Lovell Hall, famed for allegedly being the place the ninth Lord Lovell’s remains were found in an underground room. It is often visited now for picnics by the river or long walks through the surrounding meadows, as well as the dovecote nearby. It has several local county inns, including The White Hart and the Old Swan which provide excellent food and real ale. There are public footpaths that cross the field to the parish church or across the river to a small weir where local children often go to swim. Nearby attractions include the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Kilkenny Lane Country Park, both within a short driving distance. Minster Lovell is located 4 miles west of Witney and 2 miles east of Carterton.
