Posy
and Graeme love
to
welcome guests to their home, which is a large house on the edge of the
village
with a beautiful garden and stunning views. Oxbourne House is
spacious,
full of character and furnished with antiques. The bedrooms are
light
and fresh, each with its own bathroom and there is a pretty,
self-contained Annexe on the ground floor, opening directly out to the
garden, with its own double bedroom, sitting/dining room, kitchen and
shower room. In the main house, there is a large sitting room
in which guests can relax by the fire, with a welcoming cup of tea on
arrival,
or they can sit on the patio and enjoy the garden and hills
beyond.
There is a large area for parking in front of the house.

For those
wishing
for a little activity, there is an excellent hard tennis court in the
garden
or croquet on the lawn. There are also endless local footpaths to
walk
and you are very welcome to borrow the dog! The local Pub, The
Peacock, is first-class (they have recently won several awards) and
only a short walk away.
Breakfast is in
the
Dining Room and consists of orange juice, fresh fruit salad/compote,
yoghurt
and cereals followed by a full, English cooked breakfast. The
eggs
are from their own hens in the garden, the sausages made locally, bacon
comes from a
local
butcher and there are home-grown tomatoes in season. Posy also
makes
her own marmalade and jams and there is a large choice of teas and good
quality
coffee!
