We stayed here for a night for a wedding, so didn't use the room for very long. However the communication from Jakkie was great, and she was very accommodating with our tricky schedule, and even helped us at 5:30am with a heating issue! Would definitely recommend and will stay again if we're in the area!
Good value en-suite rooms to stay in a rustic village. Some renovations seem to be in progress but pretty well kitted out (iron, hairdryer, mini fridge was useful). The bed was small and not the most comfy but fine for a couple of nights. The fan didn’t work but after contacting the excellent host a new one magically appeared outside! No brekkie but some limited facilities to make your own. Decent WiFi. TV was small but I just used my laptop to watch the footy. Two good pubs and a village store that closes 5pm and plenty of buses going between Wantage/Harwell Campus/Didcot though the main road was quite noisy with the window open (ear plugs were provided).
Stayed here for 4 nights and was very satisfied with the accommodation. The room was very clean and well presented. Plenty of hot water with walk in shower providing good disabled access. Room was well heated. French doors led out onto large garden. Hair dryer, iron and board, and microwave available to use. Good selection of toiletries. Cooked Breakfast was very good with good selection of cereals etc. Ample parking onsite
