The Oxford Belfry, Thame

Overview

Picturesque Oxford, with its stunning architecture, fantastic shopping and rich heritage, makes a perfect leisure break but space in this lovely old city is hard to find. The Oxford Belfry gives its guests the best of both worlds – it's on the doorstep of some of the most celebrated tourist spots in the country but, set within 17 acres of lovely Oxfordshire landscape, there is plenty of room to stretch out, go for a stroll or a swim and simply sit and absorb the lovely surroundings. Take in the lovely spires, the dreamy little back streets, the fabulous old pubs and the thriving market and then retreat to the Belfry, a haven just south of the city and close to some classic rural towns and villages. Some 154 chic bedrooms, two restaurants and a great leisure club with gym, large indoor pool, two indoor tennis courts and a croquet lawn complete the picture.
