The Old Post Office, Adlestrop

An 18th Century former Post Office, much extended and sympathetically restored in 2007, The Old Post Office is a luxurious and peaceful home, nestled in the enchanting village of Adlestrop, set in the heart of the North Cotswolds and long famous for Edward Thomas' poem. Whilst the poet is long gone, the birds of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire have never lost their affinity for this enchanted place.

With its two beautifully appointed and luxuriously comfortable bedrooms, The Old Post Office offers luxury bed & breakfast throughout the year.

Virtually equidistant from the dreaming spires of Oxford, the Regency spa town of Cheltenham, the Roman antiquities of Cirencester and the rich Shakespearean heritage of Stratford upon Avon, Adlestrop is beautifully located to explore not simply the treasures of such local towns and cities but also the breathtaking Cotswold countryside, scattered as it is with beautiful houses, castles and gardens. If walking is more your thing, the Cotswold and MacMillan Ways offer access to outings of any and every duration with the countryside of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire quite literally on your doorstep.

A peaceful rural village, Adlestrop numbers no more than 80 residents, boasts its own beautiful church dating back to the 13th century and numbers Jane Austen as a former visitor to the rectory, now Adlestrop House, where her uncle had a living. It is believed that Austen used Adlestrop as a model for at least one location in her novel 'Mansfield Park'.
