    Nothing.

    The property was the perfect location for the ultra running race HQ at Goring Village Hall, allowing me to walk to & from the event. The property was clean & tidy & felt like a real home from home.

    Spacious room with it’s own sink, small fridge, kettle and tea cups. Also a TV. Pleasant outdoor view. The breakfast menu was varied and it was all very good. For example, one morning I had kippers with poached eggs, the next a full English breakfast. Rose is a sweetheart and I enjoyed our daily chats.

    The front door is a bit tricky to lock and unlock, but that was likely our fault for forgetting the instructions on how to do it!

    Rose was very welcoming and helpful. The property was in a nice quiet location and was spotlessly clean. The garden is beautiful, we sat out there in the morning before we left, and Rose kindly allowed us to stay at the cottage until our lift arrived. Ample parking space, too. Breakfast was really great, there was fresh fruit, cereals and hot food. I think Rose does a great job running this lovely place.

    It was very hot during our stay and we found the duvet rather warm.

    Breakfast was especially good, plenty of varied summer fruits in bowls, freshly baked croissants and good tea. The twin room was big enough, an excellent wash basin had a wide porcelain top to place wash bags etc. The shower-room was next door. There is a large back garden growing vegetables and several well tended flower beds. The property is towards the end of a cul de sac and is very quiet, We parked the car on the drive.

    This is a wonderful place to stay. The location is amazing as it is only a short walk to the village and river thames with lovely walks in all directions. Rose is a lovely lady who makes you feel so welcome and her cottage is very clean and comfortable and had everything you need for a great holiday. The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit and cereals and then a full english or other options. There are some lovely restaurants and pubs in the village and it is close to the station for Oxford etc.

    Rose was wonderful. So accommodating and kind and made a wonderful breakfast and packed lunches for our Ridgeway walk. A really homely stay with all the things done right. A great location. Oh and a handy little fridge and milk provided. We booked a double, but needed a twin, but when we got there Rose was able to change it and put us in the Twin, which was handy.
