Swinbrook is a gorgeous home just outside the small town of Burford in the Cotswolds. The house has been massively restored and extended, offering guests a very high level of comfort. The external facilities include a huge pool, tennis court, a Roman spa room with jacuzzi and sauna, a Zen garden and a children's play area, complete with zip wire. There are extensive manicured lawns and several areas perfect for peace & quiet or a pre dinner cocktail.
The house is beautifully decorated inside and some roms are really quite opulent, with polished oak beams, stone floors, four-poster beds, winding staircases and ornate furnishings. The house has a stunning kitchen where guests can eat and a lovely dining room for more formal meals. There are a number of sitting rooms, childrens play rooms and a medieval banquetting hall, complete with its own kitchen and full sized billiard table. This is a very sophisticated property but it retains a very warm and friendly feel.
The house comes with a team of permanent staff who will look after you with great care and who are used to coping with large house parties. There is a huge cellar with several thousand bottles of fine wine and all your needs will be taken care of. There is internet access, plasma tvs and other facilities, including a gym, childrens art room, outdoor chess and a fishing lake stocked with carp and trout. The village has a super pub which serves delicious food and is very unspoilt and old fashioned.
I love this home and was very excited to find it. It's a real gem and I know our families from London and overseas are going to really enjoy staying in such a beautiful property. It is within striking distance of Oxford, Bath, Stratford, Cheltenham and all points west. A great base for exploring the Cotswolds.......
