Guest Reviews
Anna was highly hospitable with a warm welcome to her guests. The house was clean, warm, cozy and well organized, with hand written messages on each equipment to help you. Plenty of toiletries provided and not to miss Anna’s home baked deliciousness if you’re lucky. The backyard is studded with beautiful flowers and a well maintained garden with play equipment for kids. Overall, a pleasant stay at Anna’s. Highly recommended.
Anna’s place was the perfect spot for our one night stay. She was incredibly kind and helpful. She was welcoming and thoughtful. She even hung a happy birthday banner (our reason for the trip) and brought us baked goods with a candle. Her place was quiet and safe. It’s a bit of a jaunt to get to Oxford, but Anna went out of her way to point us in the right direction.
What a fantastic gem and a wonderful host thrown in for good measure. Anna couldn’t be more helpful, I feel like I’ve gained a friend. Her annex is so comfortable and cosy I felt right at home the second I arrived. It is unbelievably quiet that I could hear an owl during the night. The garden you have views of is beautiful too with such pretty evening lights. I didn’t get to explore the local area during my stay but I hope to next time as I will be staying again.
Anna was the perfect host, accepting the booking at short notice and giving us information about where to eat, and even giving us a lift there. We left a few things behind and she was kind enough to post them to us. We could not have asked for more, highly recommended.
