Your base for this idyllic break is The Bull in Charlbury, a quintessential coaching inn exuding rustic charm and offering a warm welcome. Picture yourself unwinding by a crackling fire (should the unpredictable British weather demand it!), savouring locally sourced fare, and perhaps indulging in a pint of real ale after a day of exploration. Charlbury itself is a delight, a place where time seems to slow. Wander through its honey-stoned streets, browse the independent shops, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this vibrant community. Don't miss a stroll along the River Evenlode, a tranquil ribbon of water that meanders through the town.
