A charming self contained Guest House near Oxford

Bakery Barn is situated in the small village of Oakley, Buckinghamshire between the historic towns of Thame and Bicester. It is a great location for visiting Bicester Village, Bicester Heritage Centre, Blenheim Palace, Waddesdon Manor and of course Oxford and the beautiful villages of the Cotswolds. We are about 20mins from the M40 so very convenient for London and Birmingham. There are mainline train stations at Bicester and Haddenham each only about 15mins car journey. We carried out the barn conversion in 2008 and live in the main building. We have now converted the Annexe building, situated just across the driveway, into a very comfortable self contained Guest Suite comprising of a lounge/dining/kitchen area plus a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The kitchen has a microwave oven plus full sized fridge with small freezer compartment. There will be a selection of breakfast cereals, fruit juice and yoghurt provided plus tea, coffee, sugar and milk. There is parking on the drive area right outside the annex. I will always try and be here when you arrive but, if for any reason I am not going to be around, there is a key safe by the door. We will, however, always be here during your stay. There are lots of leaflets with things to do in the area and also a list of local restaurants, cafes, coffee shops of which there are plenty to chose from! Oakley is a small village with just one pub. However, the village of Long Crendon just 4 miles away has several restaurants including Indian and Thai plus a farm shop, florist, butchers and cafe. Brill is just a mile up the hill and, again, has a couple of lovely restaurants, pubs and village stores. It is quite a nice walk up through the fields if you fancy this! The bus service in Oakley is limited and you would ideally need a car or use the local taxi services. There is plenty of parking space outside the Annex. There isn’t a shop in Oakley but there are a couple of village shops 1 mile away in Brill. Long Crendon is 4 miles away and has a butchers, general store and a lovely Farm Shop. You will find large out of town Tesco, Marks & Spencer Food Hall, Next and Boots opposite Bicester Village. Thame is a very pretty market town with a Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Co Op plus a good choice of cafes/restaurants and individual shops.
