Once inside all was very clean and very much as advertised.
The unit allows pets; so we were pleased to not be aware of any previous such tenants.
A very well set up kitchen is supplied. The oil, alfoil, cling wrap, etc, etc were all appreciated. Lots of food prep equipment too. The oven trays were also valued. We are travelling across the UK for 9 weeks; so dining out frequently was not part of our travel budget.
There was a Nespresso pod machine with many pods.
We could not get the oven grill to work though.
A queen sized and comfortable bed. But with very soft, fluffy and pretty to look at, but near useless pillows. Why not supply a mixture of pillow types (soft to firm)? The bedroom door cannot be fully opened and thus blocks access to one side of the bed. The nature of such farm conversions is thus evident; even though this project was high end.
Hot water was only ok. Despite the system being quite large, the second of our two showers each night was one not to linger. Heaven help if you wanted to run a full bath. Does the tank thermostat need adjusting up?
We could not work out how to turn the lights on over the bath.
Nice, large and thick towels were noteworthy. The heated towel rail in the bathroom was also a god send in the days of showers, while we visited in late March.
There is a user friendly thermostat downstairs that certainly could allow the whole unit to warm up.
The rural quiet area was appreciated after a week in hectic London.
The stay is a good base for self driving to Oxford and around the Cotswolds.
Dove House Cottages - No 2 is located in Witney, just 5.9 miles from Blenheim Palace and 6.1 miles from University of Oxford.

The location is wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and quiet. The cottage is extremely well equipped. The hosts are quick to respond. I have stayed here a few times now and will stay here again.
I used to live in Witney. Came back to London, where I was born & raised, 15 years ago but my father & children (err, all mid-late 30's) live in that area, so I visit regularly. Summer, The Fleece for lunch outside overlooking the Green. Taxi to Hailey since The Bird in Hand is special. There is the blanket museum because it's a bit of a give away that Witney has a wool exchange, a mill and a history! Plenty of walks & fresh air. Almost forgot, Roman ruins https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-57510142

Witney is a great little town.
Witney is a great little town. Parking in West Oxon is free in all council car parks - a rarity these days. So many places to visit - Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Cogges Farm Museum, Blenheim Palace... it goes on. Many cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants in town. Independent shops in Witney and nearby villages/towns. It's just lovely.

Witney is a lovely little town, although the roads were very busy and noisy until you reached the quieter, traffic-restricted area in the centre. It has a wide range of places to eat and drink and a good selection of shops - chain and independent. We were very disappointed with the attitude of staff at The Plough, as we were refused a menu, even though others were ordering and eating, our drinks order wasn't completed fully and I was accused of being rude when I asked for both matters to be resolved. Needless to say, we didn't stay. San Marzano, just further down the High Street, was the complete opposite - food and service exemplary.

Witney was a stop to our air show destination. Pub, great.
Witney was a stop to our air show destination. Pub, great. Parking, not so. Restaurant menu over pretentious.
Loved the welcome. Unfortunately lights within room not working/ useless, air .com unit didn't respond. No instructions for coffee machine. A lot of style over substance.

Great place.
Great place. Very Central, close to Oxford, not too far from Stratford, and so on. Friendly, town. Could be a bit more friendly, can't say it's exactly Wholesome and Quint. But it is a nice old town with a good vibe of its own.

The centre of Witney is easy and pleasant to walk around, with a variety of shops, restaurants and cafes all easily accessible. There are frequent buses to Oxford (for colleges, museums, main railway connections, etc) and Woodstock (for Blenheim Palace). There is also a regular bus service across the Cotswolds to Cheltenham. Road access to Cotswold villages, walks and scenery is very good.
The room was lovely, clean, and big, with everything we needed in the room. It was also in a separate building to the pub so it wasn’t too loud. It was located in the centre of town, so transport and everything was close by. The breakfast included in the price was awesome - buffet or anything on the menu with drinks included. The staff were so attentive and polite. Overall, it was excellent value for money and a fantastic place to stay if you’re in Witney.
Location was perfect to walk around Witney, St Mary's Church and the Church Green, Coggs, Ducklington Lake and close to bus stop for travel to Oxford and surrounding area if interested. The breakfast was everything you expect for the full English along with fresh fruits, yoghurt, cereal etc., with pleasant cheerful staff each morning. The room was large with a bay window facing Corn Street, the bed comfortable and a lovely modern shower.
Staff were friendly & helpful. Restaurant was exceptionally good. We had dinner and everyone was very happy with all of their choices. Breakfast was equally good with an extensive menu suitable for all dietary needs.
We loved the animal shape made with towels, ours was a crocodile holding the tv remote when we checked into our room which had air conditioning.
I didn't know what to expect when I booked this hotel, but it had a lot of positive reviews, so I took a leap of faith. I am very pleased to say it was very well worth it! Very clean and excellently maintained facilities. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
Stayed for one night (Saturday April 2022) Staff were excellent all round. Our room was, was clean, comfortable, spacious and warm. Great location in Witney and for exploring the local area. Excellent lively bar and restaurant. Good food, great service.
A very pleasant, welcoming atmosphere of a small family-run hotel who know how to make guests feel like home!
We stayed for two nights to attend a wedding in Cotswold and found Evenlode to be a perfect little place to stay - thank you very much!
The room was excellent and the staff were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel has the best position in Witney overlooking the green and with the lovely weather it was lovely to sit outside and enjoy drinks and dinner alfresco.
Excellent host, very friendly and accommodating. Excellent rooms, extremely clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast , plenty of street parking and only few minutes walk to centre of Witney. Close to Cotswolds and Oxford for sight seeing.
Excellent location for visiting the Cotswolds, Oxford and surrounding area. The flat was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed for a short stay. Witney is a pleasant town with a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Lovely location deep in the Cotswolds countryside. Great room with comfortable bed. Really excellent food.
The staff were all so helpful and kind. It was really good value, particularly compared with other overpriced Cotswold hotels.
Location. Excellent place for exploring the Cotswolds, Witney and Oxford. Leafield church is also worth visiting. Lots of space in the room. Host very friendly and helpful e.g. booking a table at the local pub (very good food!)
The hotel had lots of character. The bedding, towels and bathroom were clean. The beds were very comfy. The staff were very helpful and attentive, the breakfast was lovely and the location was excellent
Beautiful garden setting, excellent location to explore the area, the owner/host is lovely and she makes you feel right at home. Plus she’s provides a delicious cooked to order breakfast!
The house is perfect for a Witney stay, very central but with parking, just a few mins walk to shops & cafes. The house itself is lovely, beautifully laid out and very well equipped.
Nice place for family staycation. Easy access to Oxford and cotswold area. Local shops are within five minute walk. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Overall a great experience.
