Description from owner
Description
Midsomer Cottage is Covid friendly, & offfers peace and tranquility, with lovely walks beside the River, and easy access to shops, and into the City.
Enjoy a stay in this delightfully refurbished, comfortable, and extended three bedroom Victorian cottage bordered by trees and singing birds, situated in a charming riverside village with easy access to the city. The accommodation is 4 star, stylish, popular, and quirky, providing very comfortable space for four people, or for six if you're comfortable with the safe but steep access to the third bedroom.
The village of Iffley is idyllic for a comfortable and relaxing stay in Oxford as it is on an easily accessible and frequent bus route into the city, is close to the river, and features a lovely old Norman church with a Piper window. You will be within a few minutes walk of a community village shop run by villagers, two hotels and two pubs serving good food. A park, a small gym, and a choice of supermarkets are within easy reach.
The city is a pleasant 30 minute walk along the river tow path, with your first stop perhaps being Christchurch College and meadows. Most of the colleges are open to the public, or you can pay a visit the Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers museums,The Sheldonian Library, or Blackwells Book Shop. Another option would be to take a guided walking tour, or ride on an open top bus, in order to familiarise yourselves with the dreaming spires of Oxford.
Restaurants in the city include Gees, The Old Parsonage, Quads, The Vaults, and The Trout, to name only a few of many. The Playhouse Theatre and the Pheonix Cinema in Jerico offer easily accessible entertainment.

“Wonderful cottage for a fabulous weekend in Oxford”
Four of us stayed in Midsomer Cottage for two nights for a family member's birthday. Arriving after a long drive on a freezing cold Friday evening, we were delighted to find that the heating and the lights were on and there was a lovely gift basket in the kitchen! The cottage was welcoming and cosy, with on street parking a doddle. The king size bed went down very well and it was great to have two washrooms so no fighting over bathrooms in a morning. On Saturday we walked into Oxford which was a pleasant 40 minute stroll, on Sunday we caught the bus from Iffley Turn which was very convenient. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Midsomer Cottage is cosy, includes everything you need and is a good base for a lovely holiday in Oxfordshire. Starting from the house you can walk along the Themes to Oxford, what we really enjoyed!
