The Old Post House was built in the 17th century and situated in the delightful honey-stoned village of Deddington. It is conveniently close to major attractions such as Oxford, Stratford upon Avon, Silverstone and the Cotswolds, which makes it an ideal centre for exploring.

The elegant house is luxuriously furnished with family antiques and features cosy inglenook fireplaces, roaring fires in the winter, mullion

windows, beamed ceilings and polished hardwood floors.

The individually designed bedrooms are large, and all have en suite facilities.

The walled gardens are especially lovely with espaliered fruit trees, plenty of places to sit and relax and a swimming pool which can be used by arrangement. The inner courtyard provides an ideal area for breakfast on those warmer summer days

You will receive a warm welcome from hostess Christine, a well travelled ex pat, who will tempt you with hearty, locally sourced breakfasts. Harry, our resident and friendly terrier is always on hand to help welcome arrivals.
