I stayed here for a night while walking the Thames path http://www.fordsfarm.co.uk/. The weather ended up being a wash out so we spent a long leisurely lunch at a local pub, The Lord Nelson and the food was fantastic. Marlene the B&B owner drove us there and picked us up as we had arrived on foot. There's also a really beautiful water cress farm at the end of the road and plenty of other local walks.


It's about an hour bus ride from London on the OxfordTube.

Time was, a gentleman of the road required little more than some clean straw, an egg from the run and the cream off the top of the churn before moving on to reacquaint himself with Mrs Downdumplings' hospitality at Nether-cum-Nisdale. These days you're lucky if you get so much as a finger of stale pitta and the left over hummus to dip into.


I wish you luck, SeanMediumLow, in your search for cheap country accommodation, but I fear these days the road is a hard one, and the hens no longer lay soft boiled eggs at the end of it.

Have never found much cheap country accomodation, particularly if it's just for a weekend. I really like the look of lots of Landmark Trust places but am yet to stay in one. Not cheap but they might have last minute availability:

Otherwise the Sawdays book on English B&B's has some good reasonably price options.

Don't use lastminute for anything, you'll end up in some godforsaken dive which looks ace in the pictures...

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
