An idyllic escape

Exceptional and luxurious space in a beautiful garden and historic village. We had a very warm welcome from the owners and adored spending time in a place we immediately felt at home. Care has clearly been taken in the quality of materials and furnishings in this old coach house and it feels very loved !

Great stay

Great property. Warmly welcomed by host. House was in a beautiful location. So quiet and peaceful. Everything you need plus the host had provided some wine, biscuits, crisps and milk. Which was such a lovely gesture. Would definitely come back :)

Great Little Coach House

Excellent standard of accommodation. Great location to explore Oxford and surrounding area from. We were made very welcome and our dog too. Lovely farm shop & cafe within walking distance and a local pub.

Stylish, cosy retreat

A very stylishly decorated and cosy, quiet retreat within a pretty village, a very short distance from the Oxford park and ride scheme at Thornhill. A treat to stay here. The owner provided some very helpful sightseeing tips, and left some thoughtful treats for us, including some Halloween chocolates on the doorstep for our teenagers on 31st Oct. The only downside was the heavy duty bolt on the OUTSIDE of the main bedroom door - not great for anyone of a claustrophobic disposition! Thanks again for a great stay.

A stay in a special village

We’ve always loved Stanton St John and this was our first stay. Still loving Stanton St John. Our accomodation was just right for us, being a beautiful building, very neat and tidy and well equiped. Loving the stone walls and doors and stairs that are in keeping with the sense of history. Couldn’t get better parking in this small village, than provided by the Little Coach House. Can’t praise the village or the Little Coach House enough.

Birthday break

The Little Coach House is perfectly located in a lovely village with everything you need within walking distance - The Talkhouse pub serving excellent food, especially the vegan pie! ; great village shop and excellent farm shop - plus beautiful country walks, yet only 10 mins from the Thornhill Park & Ride for easy access to Oxford and all the city has to offer. The cottage is lovingly and thoughtfully maintained by Carla and her team with all one could need for a comfortable stay plus welcome goodies including fresh milk from their farm shop - we felt at home immediately, a fantastic place to relax and enjoy some family time, thank you Carla.

Pleasant short stay

We booked this place only for a couple of nights as we needed somewhere to stay whilst i attended a local hospital. The property itself is nicely renovated, keeping old features of the barn with modern heating and bathroom etc which was lovely. Checkin was easy and the owners were nearby if needed but not intrusive. Nice big sofa and clean everywhere, nice bath and underfloor heating. The surrounding area is lovely, and I imagine if we attended during a time where the whole country wasnt flooded, the walks immediately off the property would have been really nice too. My only little gripe is that they charge extra for dogs, then when you get there have loads of rules regarding dogs and saying extra will be charged if theyve got evidence theyve gone on the sofa etc. It wasnt a problem for us, and the owners didnt say anything about the dogs, it could be that letting company they use have these general rules, but it just makes you feel a bit on edge the whole time if you have dogs and makes you feel like theyre not overly welcome. Again, thats just from the extensive rules rather than the owners themselves. We had a brief chat with the lady owner (sorry i cant remember your name) and she was pleasant and inviting, so its not a reflection on them. And they do have an outside warm tap which is really handy for washing down dogs. They did also say we can take the dogs on a walk around their pick your own fruit area if we wanted which was nice and welcoming. 5 stars, rexommend

Lovely cottage with great views

Easy to find with clear instructions, lovely little village with great local farm shop and cafe. The downstairs kingsize bed is hard to get into as there is a brick wall on both sides so need to climb from the bottom up. The underfloor heating didn’t warm us up at all, we had help to try and get it warmer but was set max 19 degrees when it was 1 degree outside- had to sit under blankets and coats! Great for a couple of days away and so peaceful!

Fantastic place to stay. We would highly recommend the Little Coach House.

We loved our stay at the Little Coach House. It is set in a beautiful village and is really well equipped and comfortable. It has easy transport links to Oxford and London from the park and ride too. The hosts are lovely and very helpful.

Peaceful getaway

Our family of four enjoyed this peaceful spot outside of the city. Was a great little escape and place to relax. Very comfortable cottage and lovely hosts. Having the farm store a short walk made our stay even sweeter. Wish we could have stayed another day!

What a lovely cottage - perfect for exploring Oxford and the London area

This was a lovely stay in Stanton Saint John! The cottage is clean, very nicely decorated and has enough space for 4 people. It was so nice to be able to use the garden in the summer weather on lazy days. Otherwise use the bus for a trip to Oxford or London. The Rectory Farm shop is very close and offers very fresh fruit and veg. You can even pick your own strawberries etc. We loved our stay in Oxfordshire. THANK YOU! Would absolutely recommend.

What a wondeful place!

We loved the Little Coach House. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, furnished to high standards and with great taste, airy, bright and so well designed that it feels really spacious (even if it is small). Our two daughters adored having exclusive use the second floor bedroom and the mezzanine adjacent to it (with lots of games in the stylish trunk) as well as the playground just around the corner and the farm shop just a short stroll away. There is lots to visit in easy reach from the cottage. Last, but not least, Carla and Richard, the owners, are discreet but not far if you need help. Well, we needed help because we had a problem with our car...and they went out of their way to help us in all possible ways and literally saved our holiday. We cannot be thankful enough to them nor recommend this property warmly enough.
