About
Canal Road holiday cottage in Thrupp is ideally located for an individual or family looking for a base to stay in the Oxford area from one week to several months. The cottage is perfectly located, 12 km from Oxford, 25 km from Banbury and on the edge of the Cotswolds. The holiday cottage is located along a quiet side road which runs parallel to the Oxford Canal and the canal itself is just a stone's throw from the front door. The stone built cottage was originally built around 1750 and is one of a terrace of cottages along the canal in Thrupp. The cottage was completely re-furbished and modernised to a high standard by the current owners. The original character of the interior has been carefully retained but with all the comforts of a modern home.
