Summary: We hugely enjoyed our stay over new year. The property is even better than it looks in the pictures, and is very well equipped. The location is peaceful and easy to find, with lots of walking available in the area, with the pub next door an added bonus. Very comfortable beds and huge rooms made this a great place to stay as a group. Would highly recommend.

Summary: This was an incredible property! It was tucked away and had enough space, including space where each one of my colleagues could step away and have separate meetings during our time. The garden was lovely. The short walk to Rising Suns pub was a great and delicious convenience to us. The cleanliness and the decorations of the property led to invigorating conversations with my colleagues. And even the extra little touches such as the different connector wires to the TV for displaying from the laptop with genius! Would highly recommend!

Summary: The property was really lovely, well presented, clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. The only thing that I couldn't understand was that there wasn't a door on the third bedroom, the description of the property states that the bathroom was to be shared by the third and fourth bedrooms so I couldn't quite understand why the door wasn't put on the bedroom as there was no privacy? The other two bedrooms had en-suites so it didn't affect them. Maybe a review of that layout needs to be addressed, but apart from that there were no other issues.

Summary: 3 generations of family plus dog stayed over the Christmas period and the house was perfect for our needs and we loved the Christmas tree! Plenty of space for all, clean, beautifully decorated in character to the house, en-suites appreciated, loved having the fire on after woodland walks from the door. Great location easy for accessing Henley and local National Trust properties and we managed a lovely meal at the pub too. Would definitely return - thank you for a fabulous stay!

Summary: This location was great for our purpose of attending a family wedding nearby. The house provided spaces to congregate when we wanted or to spread out into separate spaces. Easy access to Oxford and many great eating opportunities.

Summary: We have just enjoyed the most wonderful week with three generations of family staying here. This house is in a perfect location to enjoy country England, but having the convenience of Oxford, Reading, Windsor an easy commute gave us plenty to do. Thank you Sarah for being a wonderful host!

Summary: This was our second year staying at The Old School House and once again we had a wonderful stay. House is well taken care of with lovely furnishings and we love the area. The Rising Sun pub down the road is an absolutely wonderful local spot! We’ve already booked again for next year!
