Guests say

Leofric Lodge is a well-maintained and spotlessly clean cottage in Bampton, praised for its comfort and thoughtful touches by owners Graham and Janet. It serves as a great base for exploring, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. Guests recommend it for its cleanliness, location, and well-equipped facilities, though some advise bringing slippers for the cold tiled floor in winter.

Guests consistently describe the cottage as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owners.

The cottage is appreciated for its central location in Bampton, within walking distance to the village centre and local pubs, and as a base for exploring nearby attractions.

The lodge is considered comfortable and home-like, although some guests mention the floor can be chilly, suggesting room for improvement in warmth during colder months.

Facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and comprehensive guides. The suggestion of double glazing indicates that while facilities are good, there is potential for enhancement.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a generous welcome pack. While such gifts are warmly received, they are a gracious bonus and not guaranteed.

    A convent location for the North Oxford area.Graham offers a great two bed accomodation with easy check in. Used before and will use again.

    A true home from home. Graham and Janet have thought of just about everything to make a stay at Leofric Lodge as relaxing and comfortable as possible. My only word of advice for future visitors would be to bring some slippers. The ground floor is tiled throughout and whilst the electric wall heaters did a decent job to warm the rooms, the floor remained chilly. Not an issue if you’re visiting in the summer but something to keep in mind if you’re staying off season.
