For many years the 14th century building situated in a meadow along the River Avon was the Luckington rectory. Hosts John and Maril have now converted the structure into a charming guesthouse.

The elegant lounge, the royal blue dining room and the spacious rooms featuring 19th century antique furniture are all decorated in country house style. Behind the house are an enchanting garden surrounded by a stone wall, a tennis court and a heated swimming pool.

Accommodation: A country house in Oxfordshire
The enchanting country house was built in the 15th century, initially serving as a cottage for farm workers before being converted into a three-storey manor house. Creaking spiral staircases, dark beamed ceilings and nook fireplaces lend the property a typical English charm - a style which also seems to appeal to ghosts. While no spirits have been sighted for at least ten years, some telepathic guests have recently claimed to "sense" them. The rooms are decorated with antique furniture from the family's own collection. Stratford on Avon and Oxford are within easy reach, as are Blenheim Palace and Warwick Castle.
