Modernised, traditional property

The property is well presented and maintained. It is not large. I was staying alone but feel it would be cramped with 3 adults but fine for a couple or couple with child. The area is very nice with good local shops within walking distance. There is a very good bus service to Oxford - every 10 mins or so and this runs well into the evening so an evening in Oxford would be possible. The local Waterperry Gardens are also worth a visit.
