We stayed there with our 2 children, my sister and her family and my mum. Itâs a huge property with a lovely big garden, which the kids loved playing cricket in. The house was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. It was great that they provided all the basics, like washing powder, cleaning products, bin liners, etc, which places so often donât and is frustrating having to bring them. The children particularly loved the playroom, which was also great as we didnât need to bring lots of their toys from home. The owner was extremely helpful via email and always replied quickly. She ensured we had everything we needed. She provided lots of helpful info on things to do/places to eat. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

We had a warm welcome on arrival and we very much appreciated the spaciousness of the property. As we had three young children with us, the play room was a particular bonus and much enjoyed. There were many toys to play with and children's books to read. The private garden was also a great place for them to chase around and the boys enjoyed climbing on the quadro provided in the garden. For the adults, the superb coffee machine was a bonus and much appreciated. The particularly well equipped laundry room was a useful asset and all of the bedrooms were spacious. The initial cloakroom/dog space was ideal for leaving boots and keeping the rest of the house clean. The two decorated Christmas trees and Christmas lights outside all added to the festiveness of the family occasion. We can highly recommend Dove House Farm as a place to visit. Located nearby is a Park and Ride into Oxford which has ample parking.
