The property is large and well appointed. The location is handy for visiting the many things to see in the area. Hosts were friendly and helpful.I do wish I had brought a proper map as my phone signal kept dropping out and manouvering around the road problems caused by HS2 construction was difficult without a functional satnav - though that has nothing to do with the property.

We have had a few rentals this trip and the barn was the best. Diana & Duncan couldnt be more accomodating and the rental itself was gorgeous.

Excellent accommodation. Very clean and well equipped with good quality crockery, cutlery and linen. Lovely being in the middle of a working farm - not smelly or noisy! Visited Oxford and Waddesdon, both very interesting.

We spent around ten days here in late January, and yes, it was chilly and rainy (but nothing like Boston's cold!), but still the countryside was beautiful, the air was fresh and clean, and our visit was peaceful despite the stress of the times.My filmmaker son and his husband had a visit planned to NFTS in Beaconsfield--the drive was easy, and the train ride was even easier! We took day trips to Oxford, Stonehenge, Bletchley Park, the Battle of Britain Bunker museum in Uxbridge, St Albans, and the guys took the train into Marylebone station in London for a day, too. I'm strictly gluten free, so we made use of the Barn's terrific kitchen every day. The grocery store (Waitrose) in Thame was great. Thame is charming and delightful! My comments to other Americans who might be considering a stay here: English "king" beds are the equivalent of an American Queen, so heads up about that! Also, the Barn has a washing machine, but no mechanical dryer--only something called an "airer" which is a very small heated rack that takes many hours to dry a single (crunchy) towel! We are spoiled in America, I know, so my advice would be pack enough so that you don't have to do laundry!The farm dogs were great! We really enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat! Huge thanks to hosts Duncan and Diana for making this trip comfortable and serene.

A good place to stay to visit a range of places in the vicinity. Duncan and Diana were very friendly and welcoming. One small suggestion - make sure to change the wifi information sent out beforehand to the most up to date hub and password.
