'Lovely cottage, exactly as described. Great location for Buckingham, MK, Bicester and surrounding area but rural enough not to be bothered by traffic and noise. We were well looked after and Liz was extremely helpful and prompt to respond.' February 2022

'Would highly recommend this beautiful cottage! Liz was the perfect host and really has thought of everything! she was kind enough to leave us bread, butter, yummy marmalade, milk and freshly laid eggs from her ducks - such a thoughtful touch. The cottage is in a peaceful and quiet location. Clean and cosy throughout. Check in was super easy with the key safe and Liz was always on hand if we needed anything, great communication. would love to stay again.' January 2022

We have lived in the wonderful village of Thornborough for just over 10 years. We moved to North Bucks for a more rural life and have loved every minute of being here. We have a multitude of animals including 5 Indian Runner ducks and if they are laying eggs (which isn’t that often!) we will leave eggs for Ilex Cottage guests to use.
