Summary: Our family (6 adults and 3 children ages 7-8) loved the property. There was plenty of room for everyone and the children loved the playground and, especially the Arctic Cabin. The backyard provided everyone with hours of viewing fun as deer, rabbits, pheasants and plenty of other birds were always around. They were never bored. We used our rental home as a base to explore the Cotswolds. Blenheim Palace (15 min), Cotswold Wildlife Park (25 minutes), Stratford Upon Avon (30 minutes), Warwick Castle (40 minutes) were all places we enjoyed as well as catching a train from Oxford Parkway to London (1 hr 5 min) for a day trip. The house is located in Stonesfield which has a small market and a recently reopened pub (on the day we left) but towns where we visited for stores and restaurants included Witney (10 min), Woodstock (10 min), Charlbury (10 min). All of the restaurants we visited were wonderful and had menus that were diverse enough to accommodate all of our family. The home itself is a bit quirky and the layout takes awhile to get used to with a couple of stairways leading to the upstairs. The house was well stocked with plates, glasses, silverware, etc. It is a place we would go back to again.

Summary: Our extended family—children and their spouses, grandchildren, and children’s in-laws—all stayed or stopped by during our six-week visit and the house and grounds were perfect for us. The children loved playing in the magical gardens, we had family cookouts, and the setting was peaceful and great for long walks in the beautiful countryside. Our hostess was super-responsive to any and all questions and requests. We look forward to returning.

Summary: Our 3 generation family loved the stay. My wife & I celebrated our 40th anniversary with our kids and grandkids. Our 5 & 7 year old loved the garden and playground, and the adults loved how contained it is to keep track of them :) The house has a wonderful charm to it, and easily accomodate all 10 of us. Not to miss is the wonderful walk through the Beech Tree Forest just 200 yards away. Our 10 day stay was great. Tom T.

Summary: Hollyhock House was a wonderful place to share with old college friends for an extended reunion. A beautiful, well appointed, house, meticulously kept. The gardens are excellent and BBQ in the "arctic hut" was an added bonus. Nearby Oxford Way makes for great walks. If gthe village had a pub it would have been perfect but the Duke of Marlborough, only 2.5 miles away, filled in nicely. Our host, Heidi, gets it just right. The house had everything we could ask for, from crisp linens, to coffee makers in every bedroom. Heidi is quick and responsive (and just up the street) but left us to our own devices to enjoy this great house.
