Buff Lodge lies in the pretty Oxfordshire village of Tackley, bringing a multitude of fabulous Cotswolds attractions within easy reach. This charming cottage sits within a peaceful courtyard, with its sibling, Timber Lodge just across the way. The spacious ground floor encompasses an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area along with an elegant bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs you’ll find a charming second bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Spend your days enjoying countryside walks, the Oxford Canal towpath is close by, and the Oxfordshire Way trail runs through nearby Kirtlington and exploring the beautiful Cotswolds. Woodstock, Blenheim Palace, and the ancient university city of Oxford are all on your doorstep, giving you the best of both worlds.

Both the bath and shower were very slippery. Safety mat necessary.
Instructions book could have been better.

Buff Lodge was welcoming, impeccably clean, well-equipped and well-located. Effortless place to stay for a long weekend, although given the size, parking and facilities if you're up to 4 people, would be easy to stay longer. Lisa was welcoming and keeps the place SPOTLESS. Couldn't recommend more.

Buff Lodge is a lovely two bed cottage perfectly situated for visiting Oxford and the Cotswolds. The property was clean and well-appointed. We were having a short break and planned to spend all our time in Oxford so did not really 'use' the kitchen that much but it was obvious that everything was supplied that you might need.
We chose to use the Park & Ride to get into Oxford but you are also 0.3 miles along the lane to the railway station which would be a great option not to take a car into the city.
The beds were extremely comfortable and proper sized bath sheets were provided.
We felt that a few lamps in the sitting are would have made the ambience better as there are only ceiling lights currently. And lights in general need checking on changeover as the light above the en suite bathroom mirror was not working. There is also a prize for anyone who works out how to turn on the under cupboard lights in the kitchen! It defeated us.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and would happily have stayed longer. We were there in the run up to Storm Babet so a wet stay but the little courtyard garden would have been a perfect spot for a glass of wine in good weather. Thankfully the cottage has a very responsive heating system which made the cottage very cosy within minutes of us returning each evening.
Seriously recommend the Indian Delivery from Ovisher, Kidlington. Perfect for first night supper.
