    I had stayed in this property with my partner 2 years ago and was keen to visit it again. I still enjoyed it but there was a little bit of wear and tear. It would be simple stuff. Perhaps washing windows, descaling kettle, a slight lick of primer...

    Convenient for Oxford, Blenheim, and other attractions, in a country location. Good bathroom, all the usual facilities such as teamaking.
