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.

The photos really do not do it justice, It is a lot larger than the photos show and all of the furnishings are immaculate. We stayed as a mixed age group from age 1 to 70 for my 40th birthday and it was suitable for all. The children loved the space and the outdoor areas and we loved the open fires and expansive dining room! The kitchen literally has everything you could want including lots of fridge space, mixers and blenders, children's cups/plates, you name it, it was there! It was minus 5 outside when we stayed here but the entire house was warm and cosy. There is a smart TV in the front room which we could get you tube and netflix on and a selection of board games / cards too! I would 100% recommend this property for a large family group. Thank you so much to the owners for making such a wonderful space for a home from home stay!

The photos do not do it justice. The property is spacious yet cosy, the beds are so comfortable. Endless hot water, efficient heating, great outdoor space with games, quirky features, fantastically equipped kitchen, beautiful dining room. An excellent space for a gathering of a family of 13 ranging from ages 4-55! Will definitely be booking to come back! The host was extremely friendly, accommodating and always on hand if we had questions. 100/100!
