What an idyllic spot! Acres and acres of unspoilt, post-agricultural land along the banks of the Cherwell, bursting with wildlife. In a very short space of time I encountered badgers, foxes, deer, jays and woodpeckers (skylarks, too, singing their hearts out) - not to mention myriad other bird species, including the wildfowl on the beautifully landscaped lakes.
I was greeted upon arrival and given all the information I needed and then completely left to my own devices . . . FANTASTIC!
Throughout my stay, cosy toilet blocks were superbly maintained and cleaned with plentiful hot water and wide rides through the countryside were kept mown short, including the 5 acre 'Dog Field', which the boys (my two Border Collies!) just loved exploring, off lead. They were most amused by the neighbouring llamas . . .
If you're looking for peace and quiet, away from it all, but want to be within reach of all that Oxford and The Cotswolds have to offer, then this is the site for you. Loved it!
