“It is a lovely barn.”

It is our favourite so far. It is in a lovely setting which was perfect for our Dog. Lots of wildlife around the grounds such as Guinea fowl, Deer, Squirrels, Owls etc.

It is our favourite so far. It is in a lovely setting which was perfect for our Dog. Lots of wildlife around the grounds such as Guinea fowl, Deer, Squirrels, Owls etc. The TV was large and had a fantastic sound system. Lovely size kitchen. The Owner's were lovely people , very informative and welcoming. We had lovely little extra's on our arrival , which were greatly appreciated . We will definitely go back

Mrs Mccarthy August 2020

“The barn had wood lice in the bathroom and the bedroom had to hover them up every day , the toilet in the utility was very badly stained , the tray in the cooker was very dirty unusable, we came home a day early because of the wood lice.”

Mr Smith August 2020

“We had such a lovely time, west barn is perfect for a chilled, relaxing stay.”

Would definitely recommend and visit again!

- Mr Smith, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback with regards to West Barn. It's location is wonderful and very peaceful, with the added bonus of being down the road from all the Cotswolds sites to visit. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Owner relations
Mrs Bellamy July 2020

“The location was amazing so quiet and idyllic.”

Would definitely book it again. I think a blind or covering over the front door window would allow more privacy as it is right next to the house and drive of the owners but a really fantastic place.

- Mrs Bellamy, July 2020

Thank you for the lovely feedback, it's always so nice to hear when guests enjoy our cottages. I will pass on your comments to the owner about the blind and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Owner relations
Miss Kaye July 2020

“Absolutely wonderful hosts, They were very hospitable but were also able to allow space.”

The grounds are incredible and perfect for a walk with or without the dog. Lots of fantastic wildlife around including guinea fowl, pheasants and an owl. There are some great local walks which were less than 5 minutes away and some lovely local pubs. The barn itself was perfectly equipped and very clean. It is well kept and very spacious. They have done a brilliant job in ensuring it looks stylish and homely. I would 100% recommend this as a stay.

- Miss Kaye, July 2020

Thank you for the positive feedback, it's always lovely to hear how much guest's enjoyed staying at West Barn. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Owner relations

It was the perfect retreat. We are extremely pleased and happy we chose this wonderful and charming cottage for our Cotswold stay.

It was cozy, yet very spacious, and had all the modern conveniences we needed.

Situated outside the very beautiful village of Tackley (close to Woodstock and Blenheim Palace) the property sits in the grounds of the owner's house, in a clearing within some woods and enjoys an extremely tranquil setting with, literally, no more than birdsong to break the silence!

Inside the cottage is beautifully furnished and very spacious with all modern facilities to make your stay very comfortable.

The huge TV and surround sound system are certainly appealing....

With walks from your front door and a host of local attractions and places to visit, this is an exceptional holiday cottage for two people.

About the location

TACKLEY

Woodstock 3 miles; Bicester 11 miles; Oxford 14 miles.

Tackley is a picturesque village situated in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, approx 8 miles north of Oxford and 3 miles from Woodstock, home of Blenheim Palace. The name Tackley is derived from 'tack' which means sheep or ewe and 'ley' which means glade or clearing! The village is very pretty, has a good village shop and a local pub The Gardiner Arms. There is another pub just outside the village called Sturdy's Castle.

Nearby there are some superb attractions to visit. Rousham Hall is very close by and although there are restrictions to visiting etc, it is a beautiful stately home. Oxford,'The city of the Dreaming Spires' and colleges is just 15 mins by car. There are literally hours of things to do there! For the determined shopper, Bicester Village which is a vast outlet centre.

Woodstock has a good range of local pubs, along with restaurants, shops and stores while the famous Blenheim Palace, home to the Duke of Malborough is well worth a day trip.

This property offers the following short breaks:
