In 2008, we converted the farms redundant stables into two luxurious self catering cottages. In doing so original timbers were retained and in some cases exposed to the eye from the ground floor for the first time. Since Fords Farm stands within a conservation area, the conversions were carried out to the highest of specifications as were the decorations and furnishing and the result was that we earned the well deserved rewards of five and four stars.

The cottages are situated in the original farmyard and look onto the very large tythe barn, which has also recently been converted into a private dwelling.

Both cottages provide all you would expect from a self catering
unit; cooker, fridge, microwave, washing machine/dryer, lounge and bedroom televisions with free sat. Fresh linen and towels are provided weekly. Additionally, both cottages are tiled throughout on the groundfloor and benefit from underfloor heating.

Both cottages have been decorated tastefully and furnishings thoughtfully chosen from well know British retailers. Quality wood has been used wherever possible. There are solid oak front doors and windows, handmade oak tables and chairs and oak doors on the fitted kitchen units. Sandstone floors add to the overall Cotswold style of the cottages downstairs where as woolen rich carpets have been fitted throughout the upstairs rooms for that feeling of luxury and warmth.

Bill Spectres Oxford Ghost Trails
Bill Spectres Oxford Ghost Trails

Historically informative yet hugely entertaining, it's the perfect way to soak up the atmosphere of this famous city, leaving you with a deliciously scary tingle running down your spine. Intrepid ghost hunters should meet outside the glass fronted gift shop of Oxford Castle Unlocked. Bill Spectre (distinctively dressed as a Victorian undertaker) will depart from that place at 6.30pm every Friday and Saturday evening. For a shorter walk, meet outside the Tourist Information Centre, 15-16 Broad Street at 7pm.
Uffington White Horse
Uffington White Horse

The internationally-renowned Uffington White Horse can be seen for miles away leaping across the head of a dramatic dry valley in the Ridgeway escarpment. But this is only part of the unique complex of ancient remains that are found at White Horse Hill and beyond, spreading out across the high chalk downland. The stylised form of the White Horse, an icon of the English landscape, has been a subject of discussion since the 17th century. Written records date back to the 12th century but do not give proof of the Horse's age or why it was there.
The Ashmolean
The Ashmolean

The Ashmolean is a University Museum and a Department of the University, which owns the collections and employs the museum staff. The Museum has very close links with the faculties, and the colleges, and museum staff undertake a great deal of University teaching and research. The Museum's Collections are also an important teaching and research resource for scholars and students from other institutions both in this country and abroad.
Oxford University Museum of Natural History
Oxford University Museum of Natural History

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History houses the University's scientific collections of zoological, entomological and geological specimens. The Museum itself is a Grade 1 listed building, renowned for its spectacular neo-Gothic architecture. Among its most famous features are the Oxfordshire dinosaurs, the dodo, and the swifts in the tower.
Rousham House
Rousham House

Rousham and its landscape garden should be a place of pilgrimage for students of the work of William Kent (1685-1748). Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains almost as Kent left it, one of the few gardens of this date to have escaped alteration, with many features which delighted eighteenth century visitors to Rousham still in situ, such as the ponds and cascades in Venus’s Vale, the Cold Bath, and seven arched Praeneste, Townsend’s Building, the Temple of the Mill, and, on the skyline, a sham ruin known as the ‘Eyecatcher’.
The Eagle and Child Pub
