Ilex Cottage, Thornborough - two-bed character cottage to rent

09/02/2024

We started Ilex Cottage back in February 2020 - what timing for a short term rental business as the world went into lockdown!

It's been great fun meeting so many lovely guests but the time has come to change direction. From April Ilex Cottage will move to long term rather than short term rental.

If you would like to stay for one last time then please get in touch at [email protected] or if you know of anyone looking for a rental property in the fabulous village of Thornbroorugh please let me know.

Many thanks to everyone who has stayed or promoted the business - it is very much appreciated.

Happy 2023 to all Ilex Cottage guest and followers!

It's been a busy year for the Julier family - we have been lucky enough to have a Ukranian family living with us and we are about to open 'Thornborough Paws' a 2 acre dog walking filed so lots going on.

If you are looking for a weekend break or are staying away on business now is a great time to book Ilex Cottage & for best prices book direct.

Its been a busy few months with wonderful guests both short & longer term.

Thank you for the wonderful reviews, its great to know guests love Ilex as much as we do - look forward to welcoming you soon!

'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
