    Our stay at Tom and Becky's place was brilliant. The village and house were absolutely stunning, and the room, though part of the main house, felt incredibly private. It was spacious, impeccably comfortable, and had everything we needed. Tom and...

    Hosts were super friendly and helpful when we arrived, room was very spacious and the bed was really comfortable. We were staying for a wedding at the Tythe Barn and it couldn't have been easier to walk over to the venue from here!

The Old Rectory is a beautiful home to our family of five and our dog Wally. It dates back to 1828. It is a grand and characterful home (a work in progress!) with a beautiful setting within Launton Village, right next door to the church. It is a short drive to Bicester Village, with some lovely walks and other charming villages around.
We love hosting and entertaining our family and friends, therefore felt it natural to continue to do this for guests, so that they can enjoy our home as much as we do. We are a very friendly family and always willing to accommodate you the best we possibly can. Very open to feedback as we would like to develop our guests stay to make it a 5* experience. My husband, Tom, and I have three children and our dog Wally. We both have our own businesses working from home and in London.
We live almost next door to the Tythe Barn wedding venue and of course St Mary's Church. We have close by Bicester Village, Blenheim Palace, Silverstone, Bicester Golf Club, Oxford City, Cotswold Wildlife Park and much more... we are happy to give some recommendations too!
