Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - February /March 2021 (Issue 87)

This bo utique hotel nestled in a peaceful countryside location is the ideal choice for a minimoon in the region. With curated art and bohemian furnishings decorating each room, this vibrant hotel, a 16th-century inn, is home to five luxurious bedrooms nestled under its cosy thatch, and three suites located in the farm outbuildings, plus a quirky converted Shepherd’s Hut. It’s perfectly situated for those wanting to discover nearby Oxford, home to the Ashmolean Museum, and there’s complimentary use of the bicycles.
