General Overview

House is situated in a lovely friendly pretty village, it feels rural but is easy to get to lots of different places. Has train station and bus services. NOTE: as at June 2026 the train station bridge is currently under maintenance and so at the moment its not possible to catch the train from here to Oxford, it is possible to come back from Oxford though! to get to Oxford using public transport you'd have to use the bus. With a car you can use a park n ride into Oxford. It has 2 king beds and a superking. Has a low maintenance garden with bifolding doors leading to patio furniture for those lovely summer days.

The Space

There is an open plan kitchen and dining room. the lounge has bifolding doors to garden patio area. There is a cloakroom with toilet and hallway. Attached to the kitchen is a garage and laundry room area with washing machine. Second floor there are 2 bedrooms with 1 king size and 1 super king size bed and a family bathroom. There is another room on this floor but not available to guests. 3rd floor bedroom has a king size bed and an ensuite shower room and there is a small office workspace with big screen.

Guest Access

3 floors with stairs

Notes

Small driveway to park one car (if my car isn't left there) but also possible to park on the road - no parking restrictions. We are often not back for long periods of time so sometimes we need to charge a fee of £40 cash on the side for the cleaner to come in and make sure house is checked and restocked with toilet roll etc and laundry is done and beds made for the next guests. We would still expect the house to be left clean & tidy. This fee can be waived in circumstances when I am around.

Neighbourhood

There is a village pub - the Gardiners Arms which currently opens Tues, Wed, Thurs, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It has food trucks in the car park generally on Thurs & Fri and sometimes Saturday. This can be taken away or eaten in the pub. It serves its own food in the pub itself on a Sunday. (generally breakfast and lunch) There is a village hall and shop which also runs a pop-up pub on a Friday evening in the summer which is great place for the kids as there is a large playing field attached. At the village hall there is also a very nice playground area for kids with good equipment. 2 churches - small methodist and a large Church of England The village is surrounded by fields and country lanes for good walking and yet you can get a bus or train to explore other places. Rousham House & Gardens 2.9 miles Blenheim Palace, Woodstock 4.3 miles Bicester Village 11 miles Oxford City Centre 13 miles. 10 mins on train, longer driving Jeremy Clarksons Farm 15 miles 30 mins in car Jeremy Clarksons pub (farmers dog) 18 miles 30 mins in car Harry Potter Studios 61 miles 1.20 hrs in car Birmingham 73 miles 1.30 hrs on train London (paddington) 58 miles. 1.30 hrs on train There's a lovely walk through the fields down to the canal lock where you can see canal boats going through the lock and many other countryside walks. We are on the edge of the Cotswolds and so there are many lovely Cotswold villages to explore like Chipping Norton, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the water, Broadway etc. This is most easily done by car.

Getting to my home

Tackley has a train station so you can get from London or Birmingham. It is a village stop so you do need to check timetables for frequency. From Heathrow /Gatwick you could get an airline bus to the Park n ride in Headington and then an uber to the village. There is is also another train station called Oxford Parkway in nearby village Kidlington which is on a different train line, its a park n ride as well.

Nearest airport

London Heathrow 51 miles Can get airline bus to Oxford then a bus, train or uber to the village depending on the timetables Driving from there would be 80 mins ish

Getting Around

There's an hourly bus from the village in the direction of Oxford or the other way to Banbury. There is also a train station in the village so you can go both ways on that as well. As its a village you do need to check the timetables for frequency of travel depending on when you want to travel. If you want to explore more remote parts of the cotswolds and all the little villages a car would be easier for some destinations.

Caroline and John, nearly retired, 2 grown up daughters and 2 grandchildren. Have spent the last 30 years as expats in various countries in the Middle East but kept our home in order to be able to travel back and forwards. to the Uk. We have done a fair bit of travelling over the years but never used an house exchange system before, we love to visit new places and also to meet new people. We are looking forward to more travel and more friendships through this site. We are very flexible.
