Patrick was very helpful during our entire stay. His home was lovely. There were 4 of us and Patrick provided 3 rooms for us, which in fact he could provide only 2. He also gave us the useful information on direction and places to eat around his place. Breakfast was wonderful and in generous proportion. We were very happy staying at his place.

Patrick and Kitty were kind hosts, the room was nice and clean. We got rich breakfast and the maps, guides and hints of Patrick helped us.
Highworth was chosen because it has good accessibility. Although the region is not marked as highlight of Cotswolds, it is really beautiful (Highworth itself has a nice center the neighbouring Lechlade-on-Thames is also charming + some 13th century churches etc.). Worth to see, it is a nice village for a peaceful walk around, you will not see any tourist.
We do recommend them.

We enjoyed staying with the O'Sheas. The location is excellent for visiting Oxford, and Patrick gave us tips that we used with pleasure about eating places and sights near the house. The breakfast was a treat too.

We had a great stay with Patrick and Kitty. They were very friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make us comfortable. (even letting us do laundry, and hanging it out for us so we could get a good start to our day). The bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was good and filling. This was our first experience with airibnb and we were thankful to have such a great experience. Patrick gives excellent value for the money.

Response from Patrick:Doing the Guests laundry is not general practice here and was done only as a favour.

Nice place and very friendly hosts. The house is in a nice part of town. Patrick and his wife were very friendly and guided us despite reaching late the first day. The breakfast was really nice and Patrick is very knowledgable about things to do in the area and helped plan our holiday.
There is sufficient parking should you drive to the place and the ensuite ensures privacy to guests. The fast free wifi is a nice bonus.

Absolutely lovely stay. Patrick was extremely friendly, gracious, and hospitable - I suggest that anyone staying in or traveling to the Cotswolds area stay at this location.
