About the home

The holiday cottage is located along a quiet side road which runs parallel to the Oxford Canal and the canal itself is just a stone's throw from the front door. The stone built cottage was originally built around 1750 and is one of a terrace of cottages along the canal in Thrupp. The cottage was completely re-furbished and modernised to a high standard buy the current owners. The original character of the interior has been carefully retained but with all the comforts of a modern home.

The kitchen is fully equipped and refitted with country cottage style units, there is ample space to prepare family meals and then dine at the oak table in the dining room. Upstairs the main bedroom has picturesque views overlooking the Oxford Canal. All three bedrooms are comfortable, light and have good storage. The bathroom is stylish and modern with a high quality shower over the bath.

The Central England / Cotswolds / Oxfordshire region

Oxfordshire is one of England's most beautiful counties. To the north and west lie the world-famous Cotswolds area of rolling hills and picturesque villages, to the east are the stunning Chiltern Hills, and to the south lie the chalk North Wessex Downs. Rivers such as the Thames, the Windrush and the Evenlode wind through all parts of Oxfordshire, adding to its distinctive character. It is the most rural county in the South East region with over 50% of people in Oxfordshire living in small towns and villages. Its charming and historic market towns and the architectural splendour of Oxford city make Oxfordshire a popular tourist destination and a highly sought-after film and TV location.

It would be impossible to list all the places in Oxfordshire worth visiting, but obviously the city of Oxford ranks very high, as does the charming town of Henley in the south-east of the county, famous for the Royal Henley Regatta, one of the finest traditional English spectacles, with boats and marquees alont the River Thames and everyone dressed in their finery. The Cotswold town of Woodstock will be enjoyed by all visitors and is home to one of the greatest palaces in the world, Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our holiday cottage in Woodstock is a superb location to explore north Oxfordshire, as are many of our serviced self-catering Oxford apartments, particularly those in Summertown and North Oxford. We also have plenty of excellent short let accommodation for visitors who want to be based in South Oxfordshire, from serviced apartments in South Oxford to properties in Abingdon and the surrounding villages.

The Kidlington / Thrupp area

The nearest shops are in the village of Kidlington which is 2km away with supermarkets, chemist and other shops and restaurants. The town of Woodstock is 4km away and one of the most pleasant and historically famous towns on the edge of the Cotswolds. In the town of Woodstock you can enjoy excellent shopping, fine dining at the Feathers hotel and restaurant and typically English pubs. You can also spend many days exploring the picturesque scenes of Blenheim Palace. There are two pubs in Thrupp within 3 minutes walk, both serving British pub food and frequented by the many passing holiday makers enjoying life on the Oxford Canal. The canal runs parallel with the River Cherwell which is a major tributary into the Thames. There are many picturesque walks along the cal and river which allow you to enjoy some of the best scenery of the Oxfordshire countryside, all within easy reach of the city of Oxford.

Thrupp is 2km from Kidlington, 4km from Woodstock,12km from Oxford, and 25km from Banbury. Junction 9 of the M40 is just 10 minutes drive and Junction 8 is 15-20 minutes drive. The cottage is tucked away along a quiet road just off the A4260 which is a main road leading from Banbury into Oxford.

“Idyllic” This little gem booked through Weekly Home Ltd was the perfect end to our European holiday. We had been traveling around Europe for about six weeks and just wanted somewhere quiet and picturesque to chill for our last week on the European continent. Lesley and Esmee from Weekly home were superb in assisting us find this charming cottage on the outskirts of Oxford. The location, right on the canal, offered picturesque views, quiet and comfort. We couldn't have been happier. The cottage itself was well appointed, warm and included everything that one could possibly need for a self cater holiday. A home away from home. The welcome pack was very useful to tourists (Australian) such as ourselves who were travelling light. Great shower, large bathroom, good sized bedrooms, lounge, dining room and kitchen. French doors led to the courtyard and garden via the kitchen and dining room. The sun streamed into the lounge room and upstairs front bedrooms each morning. There is parking outside if you need it however we were without transport and used the local bus to get around. We did enjoy our walk along either the road or the towpath to the bus stop. We ate at Annie's Tea rooms just along the path and also tried the local pub. We shopped at Sainsburys in Oxford and carried our goodies back on the bus. The wi fi worked well. As travellers wi fi is essential no matter where you are staying. Of particular benefit was the orientation to the cottage by Esmee who met us at the cottage in the first day. This was invaluable for overseas travellers. Thank you Esmee. Booking the cottage via the net took time for us as tourists and Lesley was superb in assisting us sort this all out. Lesley kept in touch via phone constantly until all was sorted. Thank you Lesley. We valued both Esmee's and Lesley's professionalism and attention to detail. This little cottage was a great find and we would love to go back here again one day. We highly recommend Welcome Home Ltd.

“Brilliant accommodation in rural Oxfordshire” We were very impressed with the immaculate presentation of this property. The kitchen is very well equiped, the bathroom is brilliant, especially the shower, bedrooms are very good, beds very comfortable. We were also very pleased with the service of Weekly Home and will definitely use their services again. The location of the property is right next to the canal and every day we saw various narrow boats passing. Plenty of walking opportunities in and around Thrupp and 2 pubs close by. Only disadvantage is the lack of private parking and sometimes it's difficult to find a parking space.

“Beautiful Cottage, Perfect Location” Our family stayed here for 2 months July and August 2011. The setting is LOVELY. The canal is just across the road from the front door where you see different longboats everyday. There are 4... more
