Photos and Description of this Oxfordshire Cotswolds holiday cottage In the heart of Woodstock with a log fire, fitted kitchen and comfortable beds

A charming period cottage situated in the heart of Woodstock with oak beams, open log fire and comfortable sofas and beds. A superb selection of restaurants and pubs is only a few metres away and one of England's 'jewels' - Blenheim Palace - is just a short walking distance. Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Britain's most famous 20th century Prime Minister, and currently the home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough. Woodstock is also an excellent base for visiting the beautiful Cotswold's, Oxford's historic colleges (only 8 miles) and William Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford upon Avon. Little Peacock House is a beautifully traditional period cottage that stands at the end of a pretty terrace looking down Woodstock's famous Oxford Street. The cottage sleeps five (plus a sofa-bed) and features oak beams, an open inglenook fire place, gas central heating and a fitted kitchen. The dining room has a solid oak floor with a refectory table and 6 chairs.

Woodstock is an ancient market town in Oxfordshire, England on the river Glyme, 8 miles North West of Oxford. Woodstock is well placed as a base for visiting the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon (the birth place of William Shakespeare), Oxford's glorious colleges and great shops and it's an easy trip to London. Woodstock has long been known for it's manufacture of gloves and the town dates back to Anglo-Saxon origins and at one time had a Royal Palace which stood in the what is now Blenheim Park, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough. Today Woodstock has many small and unique shops plus a bank, chemist, traditional butcher and well stocked supermarket for your everyday needs. Little Peacock House is an ideal location for the many Blenheim Park events that take place throughout the year. Although full of history, Woodstock is a sophisticated town providing a superb shopping and dining experience - in fact we think that Woodstock is one of the country’s ‘best kept secrets’!

Ultimate Cotswolds experience

LindavG Palo Alto, California, USA
Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Little Peacock House and Woodstock were everything we were hoping for. Blenheim Palace and park are only a few minutes' walk away and Woodstock has enough nice shops and restaurants to keep us interested for two weeks. We spent a few of our days exploring Woodstock and Blenheim at a relaxing pace. From Woodstock, we were able to visit Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Salisbury and Stonehenge, Bath, Windsor, Cardiff (Wales), Stowe Gardens, Warwick, and Hidcote Gardens. We would love to spend more time in Woodstock and there are many more new things to see.

The cottage is very well taken care of by friendly owners. We were unsure of the AGA range when we first arrived, but came to love it. It's warmth was so nice to come home to, it dried our damp shoes, it made cooking more interesting, and it helped dry our clothes when we had our laundry hanging in the kitchen.

Review Submitted: July 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The cottage is superb! Woodstock is superb! A very good place to get around in Oxfordshire; Oxford, Stratford, London and much more in just around 2 hours ride with a bus. And Woodstock has Blenheim Castle, which is a fantastic way to spend a day... just in walking distance from the cottage. This is a highly recommended place to spend a week in England's finest surroundings!

Little Peacock House -- A Cozy Stay

Sanibel Traveler Indianapolis, USA
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This rental cottage met our expectations based on advertising. We stayed at Little Peacock House for two weeks while we visited our son at Oxford, toured the nearby villages, and took the train to Edinburgh, Cardiff, and London. We fell in love with the gentle pace of life in Woodstock, and we loved the convenience of the nearby "Hampers" for both breakfast, lunch, and take out. We also enjoyed great dinners at the nearby Kings Arms Inn Restaurant and Vickers.
The owners of Little Peacock House made our communication and down payment easy, and we had no trouble making contact upon our arrival. The condition of the cottage was clean and presentable, and the interior looked exactly as it was pictured.
We were a little inconvenienced by the one bathroom, although there was a separate W.C. and sink. The stove was also a challenge to someone from the U.S., but we didn't plan on cooking any major meals, anyway.
The location of the old stone cottage was fabulous -- right on the sidewalk in the quaint village of Woodstock. We were within easy walking distance of all corners of the village, as well as the lovely public grounds of Blenheim Palace -- Churchill's birthplace. Also, we were just over a block away from the bus stop -- a key stop for the Oxford bus that then connected us with either bus or train service to London or other major stops in the U.K. Oxford itself, home to the ancient university, is full of sights and shopping and dining, and this nearby city is only about 8 miles away.
All in all, we would happily recommend Little Peacock House to any U.K. tourists except those with tiny children or with disabilities. (The cottage is three stories, and a winding, narrow staircase would be prohibitive for the very young or the very old/infirm.) Any visitors who are in normal good health and condition would find the cottage easy to navigate and would surely enjoy its nice condition and easy access to many other U.K. destinations.

Wonderful Cottage

morrisminor Cardiff U.K.
Review Submitted: December 10, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2008
This is a most comfortable cottage, tastefully modernized yet full of history. The living room has very comfortable settees and you have the advantage of watching all that goes on in the high St! The cupboards in the kitchen are all hand made and those who have wanted to cook with an aga have an opportunity to try their hand! The Bathroom is splendid and the beds most comfortable. The cottage is minutes walk from the centre of Woodstock, its shops and pubs as well as Blenheim palace.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to stay near Oxford, but please don't book it when I want to go again!
