    We were so well looked after during our stay-even drying our wet clothes by the aga! We were made to feel at home and were free to use the facilities as we wished. The location was beautiful- so quiet. It will be even better when the pub reopens...

Property information

The Old School is a quirky conversion set within a 17th century farmhouse and a Victorian school, situated in a pretty Cotswold village 5 minutes from Bicester.

Each room is individually decorated and full of character, offering extremely comfortable beds, fresh white linen, a tea/coffee tray, wardrobe and chest of drawers or shelves. The upstairs bedrooms each have a wash basin. Bicester was originally a small market town in Oxfordshire which has grown into a great choice for business people, being so central in England, with easy access to the motorways and commercial centres and is the fastest growing town in Europe.

It is equally well positioned for guests visiting Bicester Village, Oxford, the Cotswolds and the many local historical attractions with Bicester featuring many restaurants, shops and cafes and yet is surrounded by beautiful countryside for walking.

After a long day, guests enjoy the peace and quiet of The Old School with its lovely outlook over fields. I
