Buff Lodge - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Tackley is a thriving place of traditional stone cottages and a community-led village shop which provides all manner of lovely things. Buff Lodge sits in a quiet courtyard behind one of these lovely village houses and offers a wonderful base from which to explore.

Step inside and you'll find a comfortable escape for four guests. The open-plan design makes for sociable living, with a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and generous living room on the ground floor. Double doors lead out to a private, enclosed terrace where you can enjoy meals in the fresh air or simply relax with a drink and a good book. There is a super-king bedroom on the ground floor, as well as a bathroom whilst the second king-size bedroom is on the first floor, along with an en-suite shower room. This lovely room boasts high ceilings and exposed beams and is a cosy and welcoming space.

The enclosed terrace is an added bonus, and the screened trellis ensures this is a sunny and private space where you can relax after a day of exploring. There is private parking for two cars in the courtyard.

A really great property. It has been lovingly furnished and is spacious and comfortable. Ideally situated to visit Oxford (bus stop 1 minute away) and Blenheim Palace. It also boasts a beautiful little garden with sun loungers and a patio set. Would highly recommend.
