Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A characterful cottage in the heart of Thame, a historic Oxfordshire market town with a good mix of independent shops, cafes, and countryside on the doorstep. Inside, the wood-burning stove – bring your own logs – makes the living room a inviting place to settle in after a day out exploring. The landscaped garden, a neat mix of decking and planting, is well suited to a slow morning coffee or something stronger come evening. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms round things out neatly for a couple or a small group.

Home truths
If you're planning to use the wood-burning stove, you'll need to bring your own logs and lighting equipment.
Guests have access to all areas of the home, apart from the garden room.
If you're travelling with little ones, the cottage is child-friendly but doesn't have a travel cot or high chair on site – you're welcome to bring your own.
Parking in Thame is on the street and paid for – there's no private driveway or off-street space at the cottage.
Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.
Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will need to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.
Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.
