This was our second visit to woodland cottage and we were not disappointed. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. All the appliances made our stay easy. The woodland walk into Bampton is delightful and on this visit we saw squirrels plus the male and female pheasant. The plants in the garden were at their best as were the wild flowers along the Read moretramway. We had great food and service at the Swan pub and were able to buy any groceries in the Spar and the local shops. Hide

Woodland cottage was lovely and clean, had great facilities and everything worked well. Its position was ideal for walking into Bampton . The walk was traffic free and ideal for the dogs. The local people were extremely friendly and the food at the Swan pub was fab.

Everything you would wish for in a holiday cottage, Woodland Cottage has. The house was immaculately clean, the kitchen equipment was brilliant and the house was very dog friendly. It made a perfect base for exploring the local area with several dog friendly pubs close by. We were sad to leave.

Firstly I must say that this was one of the cleanest holiday cottages weve ever stayed at (and weve stay at quite a few over the years !) It has a lovely homely feel to it and had everything you need. It was warm and cosy dispute the awful weather we had during our stay. A nice walk from the front door into the village, which had a great pub calledRead more The Swan which served wonderful food and the staff are lovely and welcoming and very dog friendly. We would definitely recommend it. Hide
