Accommodation
All
the bedrooms including two new en-suites have recently been refurbished to
an extremely high standard. All rooms have washbasins, television (50
channels), tea and coffee making facilities (including biscuits!) and have
been designed to make your stay a comfortable and memorable one.
The bathroom
provides a new 6ft bath and modern power shower. The house has free wifi throughout and there are also ample plugs for
laptops and mobiles.
Children are welcome but by
arrangement please.. Extra beds, cots,
shoe cleaning and laundry services are available on request.
Breakfast is held in
the winter in the dining room but sometimes in the summer, weather
permitting, on the terrace overlooking our pretty south facing garden. If
you wish to be piped down to breakfast, Graham a member of the Oxford Pipe Band, is happy to oblige.
When cooking we aim to use the very
best organic and free range ingredients, which where possible, are locally
sourced and Graham looks forward to cooking a grand Oxfordshire
breakfast to your choice.
Things to do
Walking:
For those who wish to explore the
countryside we hold a local walking tour guide book providing short
pre-researched local walks starting and finishing at a pub.
For those less adventurous there are:
Short or long walks from our garden gate along the Old Saxon road and down
to the Thames. A
short drive takes you to the Clumps with its historic Roman ruins and
famous views over Oxfordshire. We are also near
the Berkshire Downs and the Chilterns
Local attractions:
These are numerous, from the famous Pendon Model Railway Museum in the village to the
well known galleries and Ashmolean museum in Oxford, only some 15
minutes drive away.
The picturesque market towns of Abingdon and Wallingford
are also well worth a visit not just for the shopping. There is of course Blenheim
Palace,
the birthplace of Winston Churchill and many other attractions a short
drive from the Grange.
Theatres and Cinemas:
These are available in Wallingford,
Abingdon, Didcot and Oxford. We can help you to book.

If you are a golfer, Hadden Hill 18 hole golf course, (3 miles away), will
give you all you want.
