A lovely welcome when we arrived, a welcome pack with some essentials ......and a bottle of red wine. The only "negative" on an enjoyable 7 night stay was the weather. No not the usual complaint of rain or wind ?? The record breaking high temperatures and blazing hot sunshine was difficult when out seeing the local are and Oxford. A ten minute walk takes you into Bampton that has coffee shops, a co-op, post office lovely chinese take away, kebab van in square and 4 pubs although only 1 serving food. I would not hesitate in recommending Leofric Lodge for a comfortable stay with 2 bathrooms, 2 very nice outside sitting areas, and excellent friendly hosts that are always available to provide additional information or equipment to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
