Kingfisher, 2 The Old Stables

We had a very good stay at Kingfisher.

The beds were comfortable and there was no noise at night despite being so close to the animals! Rachel & Dave were very friendly & took us to feed the lambs. (Note: there are no wardrobes in the bedrooms due to lack of space, just a rail + coathhangers in one and a hook in the other.)

Perfect property for a nice weekend in Oxfordshire for just me and the dog.

The property was spotless and had everything I needed. Beautiful surroundings and the owners were lovely and helpful. As a solo-female traveller, I felt safe and comfortable - would definitely recommend.

A wonderful 5 day/night stay.

Beds were both super comfortable (seen a previous review saying one wasn’t, so no idea what they were talking about)! Beautiful surroundings with lovely people at the working farm too. The gorgeous farm dog Beau was a delight and got on really well with our greyhound

A lovely stay at Kingfisher.

We arrived in the dark, so the track to the property felt like it went on forever, but we woke to a beautiful farm setting. The cottage was warm, with everything you need. There are animals all around you and our kids loved seeing them all. my only niggle was that the bed in the first room dips in the middle do we spent the first night on a slope! the remaining nights we swapped with the kids and had a much better night's sleep.

Lovely clean, well maintained, comfortable, warm property set beautifully next to a farm.

The owners were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend

A lovely barn conversion on a working farm in beautiful surroundings.

Made very welcome by Rachel. A thoroughly enjoyable visit in an area with some wonderful gardens to visit.

Lovely peaceful setting , the property itself has everything you would need and so comfortable to be in.

Thames Path is only a field or two away and Oxford an easy drive . We loved it. Property hosts are super helpful and friendly.

We had an incredible stay!

The cottage was perfect—spacious, modern, and cozy all at once. The highlight of our visit was being on a working farm. Rachel and Dave were exceptionally welcoming and took the time to show us around, introducing my little boy to all the animals. It truly made our experience unforgettable!

Lovely week away great location.

Lots to do we took our dog and he came every where with us no problem even the zoo which I was surprised he was able to come in with us. He just wasn’t allowed in the palace

Rachel and David are very accommodating and helpful.

Very pleasant stay for me and my 11 year old ex-Military GSD. Will be back, for sure. The working farm suits my/our lifestyle as me and my dog always start our day at 04:00 am, and it is very comforting to know that others are early starters in my surroundings as I do not like to disturb my neighbours. Will highly recommend.

Had wonderful relaxing stay.

Friendly welcoming family run farm. Plenty of space for Nell to stretch her legs and watch farm life and exercising horses. Easily accessible to Oxford and surrounding area. Just what we required.

Fantastic accommodation and brilliant setting!

We had a really brilliant time. Our 18 month old loved getting up in the morning, popping his wellies on and going to see the ‘neighs’. The team there were really friendly and gave great tips about what we could do and where to go. Thank you so much!

Lovely cottage very comfortable everything we needed there owners did all they could to make us welcome would definitely go again

Absolutely lovely accommodation set in a lovely location.

Owners are so friendly, welcoming and really do what to ensure you are comfortable.

A comfortable accommodation with all that we needed.

Yes, it is on a working farm and guests should be aware that that may involve some noise and early activity. However, we ourselves are country folk and anticipated this! Dave and Racheal are very friendly hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, comfy, relaxing and everything we needed.

Owners were lovely and made us welcome. Beautiful views and walks right on the door step. We enjoyed the farm life watching the horses, sheep and cows each day. Great location to get out and about in the Cotswolds. Will definitely be back again! Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Lovely property on a working farm.

Owners were very friendly and helpful and were happy to show us animals and even help with feeding the sheep. Location is excellent for trips to Oxford or into the Cotswolds

Couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.

My teenager loved it so much she’s asked to go back again. Beautiful area and the cottage is ideally located to explore.

Thank you to owner of the property, for providing a wonderful place to stay in an idyllic setting.

Striking the balance between a working farm and providing accommodation is a challenge I am sure, however your staff were so kind to me and my family and even let me visit the horses in the farm stable which was a truly beautiful experience as I cannot ride now. Thank you again for creating the environment to give us lasting lovely memories x

Great cottage in an interesting farm based location but with easy access to nearby attractions such as Blenheim Palace.

Spotlessly clean and very comfortable with everything we needed. Loved waking up to the sound of lambs and horses. Highly recommended and we’d happily make a return visit.

What a lovely holiday!

Peaceful setting on the farm ! First class accommodation! Lovely friendly owners ! Missing the lambs will definitely return !

The grandparents stayed in the slightly smaller Kingfisher cottage and we stayed next door which worked really well.

Great facilities and very comfortable. Very clean and had essentials stocked which is always useful! Lovely to be able to get out for walks easily. Plenty to do near by and especially enjoyed the Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Location is great for an all round holiday within short travel distance to Oxford and even the west of London and the abundant area of the Cotswolds.

The cottage was warm and excellent for an autumn or winter break, excellent sleep quality for the beds. Nice and quiet away from the bustle of town life and benefit of being on a working farm

We really enjoyed our stay at the Kingfisher.

The amenities in the cottage is excellent – it has everything you ever need for a fantastic holiday. Rachel and Dave have been excellent host. They have allowed the kids in our group see and interact with their farm animals which was educational and enjoyable. This cottage is also well located to visit the best of Cotswold and Oxfordshire. We will strongly recommend the cottage to anyone and would also be back.

Such a lovely place to stay, we had such a wonderful time exploring both the farm and the local area.

This is the perfect environment to switch off from the daily grind and recharge our batteries and was just what we needed.

Waking up to the sound of animals was so therapeutic that we really didn't want to leave ! Although I take my laptop with me everywhere I did not feel the need to turn it on once during our stay. And my iPhone was barely looked at too. The cottage is modern with everything you would need. The hosts are extremely kind and friendly and allowed us to meet the animals on the farm. We even fed the lambs which was amazing. This is a perfect place for anybody wanting to "get away from it all" We will be booking again for definite and would recommend to anybody

Thank you, everything was perfect t!

! The kids loved the farm, the owners are really nice and really helpful. We were delighted and will be back for sure!. Thank you very much.

Enjoyed a great holiday at Tawney's farm.

Rachel and Dave were very welcoming and it was a treat to meet all the animals on the farm and even feed some lambs. Very interesting to watch all the goings on on the farm. Kingfisher lodge was well equipped, very clean and modern and had everything we needed. Great having the patio doors and sitting out next to the wildlife pond. We saw herons, ducklings and red kites among others. Tawney's farm is very easy to access Oxford and the Cotswolds and also had a day trip to Legoland. Lovely walks along the Thames Path too with Eynsham and Witney near by.

Very nice property: modern, clean, warm, comfortable.

Good bath and shower rooms. Really liked the little patio overlooking wild pond. Friendly welcome from owner. Enjoyed the peaceful rural location. Farm/horse activity interesting to us 'townies'. Would have liked some hanging hooks in bedrooms in absence of wardrobes! But plenty of drawer/shelf space.

The cottage was in such a lovely setting, and had everything we needed.

It was clean, comfy and just right for our family of 4. Perfect! The kids (5&7) loved watching and meeting the animals on the farm; especially Bo the dog. They have already asked when we can go back!

Lovely cottage on a working farm with a well equipped modern kitchen and a large patio which gets the sun in the morning.

20 minute walk to Harcourt Arms pub (amazing food) - remember to bring a torch when dark as there is no street lighting on route. Easy 10 minute drive to Witney for cinema, shops, restaurants and groceries. Great location for Oxford, Bicester Outlet, Blenheim Place and other picturesque local market towns.

Kingfisher was lovely, we have stayed in the adjoining property previously but Kingfisher has the advantage of patio doors looking out over a lovely pond ideal for bird watching {we saw a green woodpecker and a little egret} and listening to the frogs chorus.

The property was immaculate and extremely clean and had everything needed to make a wonderful restful stay. We also loved the chats with Rachel and David the owners and watching the horses exercising.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a lovely setting.

Really friendly and helpful owners who made us feel very welcome. We look forward to going back again soon.

The property is well decorated and warm, everything works.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. It is fun to watch the activities on the farm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

The property was clean, warm and really well furnished providing everything we needed. It is set on a beautiful Oxfordshire farm and we loved being so close to nature. We were made very welcome and encouraged to visit the animals. It was only a 20 minute drive to the Seacourt Park and Ride for easy travel into Oxford city. Wonderful! We hope to return.

Amazing spot fantastic hosts perfect for our dog too!

It was our second visit to Kingfisher - lovely place if you enjoy a quiet and peaceful location.

Great little stay on the farm.

Very rural and owners very friendly and gave us some advice on where to walk and local places to eat. Took my dog too

A lovely well-appointed property in the heart of this friendly, working farm and stables.

Lots of local walks to enjoy and sights to visit whether on foot from the door or by bike / car. Great private outdoor space to enjoy a sunny breakfast or relaxing evening watching red kites over the fields and swallows over the pond.

A wonderful long weekend in this immaculate, modern and comfortable barn conversation with our two young children.

We were made so welcome by the owners and such a lovely experience for our children to see the many farm animals, particularly the horses and kittens! Great location for exploring nearby areas in Oxford and the Cotswolds.

Friendly and welcoming place!

Amazing for Kids Very clean, modern newly built conversion, ideal for short stays with family. Particularly interesting for children (and adults!) thanks to the many animals on the farm! The kind and welcoming owners showed all the animals and let the kids feed and interact with them, which was very special. VERY Clean and NICE, a well looked after place, felt like a luxury hotel but a little better thanks to the breathtaking views. Hope to come back

Might be worth mentioning proximity to the farmyard and accompanying sounds and smells

We had a lovely short break, hosts were very friendly and welcoming.

Great being right on the farm and our toddler loved seeing all the animals (horses, cows, lambs, dogs & cats). Property had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen & huge fridge freezer! We had great weather so made use of the outside seating area, loved sitting out there for breakfast in the sunshine overlooking the pond.

Fab location, owners very helpful.

Property is to a high standard and has everything you need and more. Made to feel welcome by the owners, the farm animals also loved the attention they were being given. Lovely walks to take the dog on. Next time would certainly book during the warmer weather to make the most of the countryside.

A very rural and scenic setting with plenty of walks to do and just to relax, it was brilliant.

The couple who own the farm and cottages (Dave & Rachel) were just lovely and made us feel very welcome. It was lovely being there and seeing what goe son a farm as well as meeting Joey the lamb and Bo the dog!

Our kids loved meeting the farm animals.

The hosts were very happy to provide local information.

The cottages have been recently renovated to a lovely standard with nice features and all The essentials needed for a family break.

Our young children loved the trip - feeding a lamb in the stables was the highlight for our toddler, together with meeting the farm owners who were very welcoming. And there was lots more to see close by including horses, sheep, cows, tractors etc... a real experience for our city kids! It’s a short walk to the local village where the pub restaurant’s food is very tasty and service is family friendly, albeit a little pricey. And within a short drive there’s lots more to explore - splendid villages, pubs, walks and the farm shop with a great animal area and playground. We didn’t venture to Oxford or the Cotswolds as time was short but would imagine they are easily accessible from here too.

Perfect location for a chilled out holidays.

Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. the owners dave and Rachel could do enough for us and are more than happy to let there guests wander around there farm. we will definitely be going back next year

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Kingfisher, 2 The Old Stables.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome with a vase of beautiful flowers and yummy biscuits inside waiting for us. The family were very accommodating with our children, introducing them to all the animals and even letting them feed Joey the lamb. The accommodation has been finished to a very high standard, with an outdoor seating area overlooking the pond. The property is perfectly located for a stroll down to the River Thames, local pubs with great food or a day trip to Oxford for a bit of culture. This property is perfect for a young family, walking enthusiasts or someone looking for a peaceful and relaxing break from city life. We will return and recommend to family and friends.

We absolutely loved our week away at Kingfisher in the Old Stables.

From the moment we walked in, right up until leaving we felt at home. The owners are lovely, really friendly and welcoming. The old stables are finished to a really lovely standard, clean, nice and modern. We loved the French doors out onto the patio to sit in the evening and have a drink. The kids absolutely loved Beau (the sheep dog) and Joey (the lamb) and spent most days playing with them, in and around the barn. We were genuinely sad to leave, the time went too quick. Hopefully we’ll be back again soon! Thank you for a great week away!

We enjoyed a comfortable stay in Kingfisher.

The lounge was bright and pleasant with patio doors looking onto a lovely rural view. The garden area was private with a BBQ and seating for warm evenings overlooking the pond. The owners who live in the farmhouse were friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the close proximity of the Kingfisher Cottage to the barn where we could feed Joey the pet lamb and observe farm life. It is a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the village which has a pub and local shop. There are many interesting walks/running routes right on the doorstep including the Thames Pathway.

The farmer and family made our holiday fabulous letting the children feeding the little animals

Fabulous few days away.

Accommodation really well thought through and very well equipped. Very clean and tidy. BBQ and garden a great bonus. Beautiful location and a delight to be able to see and spend time with the animals in their natural environment. Lovely hosts who put us immediately at ease, a charming family environment and made our holiday that much more relaxing. Great walks on the doorstep, perfect for our dog and would most definitely recommend a stay here. Very much looking forward to a return visit.

An amazing holiday home, right in the middle of a working farm.

It was such a lovely cottage with a gorgeous patio with a lovely outlook, bbq and all! The cottage was equipped with everything we might need and a high chair and travel cot was provided for our little one. Everyone was so friendly recommending places to go and walks etc. We were even able to feed the lamb! Would highly recommend especially for families with children as the farm was a real bonus to a lovely cottage away!

This cottage was a great find.

Hosts were brilliant, so welcoming and helpful. The standard of the cottage is excellent and nicely positioned in West Oxfordshire next to the Cotswolds. As a family we thoroughly enjoyed both bike rides and Kayaking on the river Thames. Great also for runners along the toe paths and nearby reservoir. Oxford park and ride just a short drive away and we took advantage of that to see the historical sites of Oxford. All in all a perfect break for couples or families alike, I thoroughly recommend this holiday home.

We were lucky enough to be the first guests.

The quality of the accommodation was amazing. The owners are lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. The accommodation is on a working farm and we could interact with the animals which our little one loved. It really was lovely to stay and it was a pleasure to have such lovely accommodation.
