Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Spring Cottage to be thoroughly cleaned and well-presented. However, one review mentioned it was not cleaned to an acceptable standard, which suggests occasional lapses in cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, being situated next to a village duck pond and across from Wroxton Abbey's gardens. It is also well-placed for visiting the Cotswolds and nearby attractions.
Guests frequently describe the beds as super comfy and the cottage as cosy and comfortable. Some minor comments about soundproofing and heating settings suggest room for improvement, but overall comfort levels are high.
The cottage is appreciated for being well-equipped and beautifully appointed. However, several reviews mention issues such as poor shower pressure, lack of a freezer, and small TV size, indicating some facilities could be updated or added.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Full of rustic and authentic charm, Spring Cottage occupies a delightful and tranquil setting overlooking the village green and duck pond in the beautiful Wroxton.
The property lies in a quiet corner of the village well away from the main road. The Wroxton House Hotel is a stone’s through away while the wonderful landscaped gardens and lakes of Wroxton Abbey (College) offer guests lovely walks through the grounds.
The owners of this picturesque cottage have devoted much time and effort into re-establishing its original character with its magnificent oak beams and stone walls. All the rooms are well presented and give a really homely feel.
If you are a keen cyclist wishing to explore the area on two wheels, then you should certainly consider this cosy cottage for short break or longer as there is bike storage available and plenty of routes right on the doorstep.
The two bedrooms are both double with one having a space for an extra single fold up bed. The ground floor bathroom has a bath, sliding door to separate shower room with shower, basin and WC.
The thriving village of Wroxton is situated in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside just three miles north west of Banbury. The ancient village boasts a village green with pond, home to an abundance of wildlife, with its own thatched duck house, many thatched cottages and a country Hotel with bar and restaurant. Abbey grounds/walks open to public most days.
Wroxton Abbey is a beautiful 15th century manor house set in landscaped gardens and is located in the centre of this unspoilt village. The nearby historic market town of Banbury sits on the banks of the River Cherwell in the Cherwell Valley.
Spring Cottage is a fantastic, thatched cottage which embodies the typical English village image, and is great for a couple or small family to come and enjoy Oxfordshire.
Wroxton could not be more conveniently placed for exploring this much admired part of central England. Situated on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, three miles from Banbury, within easy driving distance of both Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon and approximately one and a half hours drive from London. There are many pretty Cotswold villages to visit in the surrounding area as well as two of England’s foremost historic buildings, Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace.

It is hard to imagine a better-presented holiday home in a more picturesque setting. The grounds of Wroxton Abbey, just across the road, are really appealing for a walk, especially in the early-evening sunlight. The next- door neighbours (the village ducks) were a bit quieter at night this time round, possibly because the mating season was well and truly over.
