Tranquil Retreat in Bicester

It was a lovely house, good parking, so big and comfortable to stay in, perfect to house me and my bridesmaids the night before my wedding. There was no noise from roads. Easy to get into the property, check in and check out times were reasonable. Can definitely house up to 10 people so such a good please for multiple people!

Plenty of room in the kitchen and dinning area. Which enable our party of 9 to prepare and enjoy a meal together. The place was clean it was decorated for Christmas and there was plenty crockery.

The place was clean, but on arrival, the smell of the institutional cleaning fluid used it was overwhelming. Even opening all outside doors and windows, it never really went away. It only served to let out the warmth. I have asthma, and I needed to use my inhalers throughout my stay. In the kitchen, there was no plug in the sink or washing up bowl. There was no towel or drying cloth in the kitchen. Not everything can go in the dishwasher, and when you are a bigger party, being able to hand wash items is essential. There was no comfort in the lounge for us to sit together. Everything about the lounge is for display and decoration. The furniture is not practical nor comfortable. The beds all need the investment of new mattresses. There is no comfort, I was glad I only had one night to endure. Even the younger members of our 3 generation party complained about the bed. The house was decorated for Christmas, with outside lights which are set on a timer. They woke everyone up at 5am, flashing away brightly. The curtains on the windows are not adequate to keep normal morning lightout, so were not able keep the flashing lights out.
