Set in a rural location, perfect getaway for two. What more could you ask for. A Historical Grade II Listed Windmill with 360 degree views across 3 counties and only a stone throw away from UK’s largest shopping outlet- Bicester Village, or if shopping isn’t your thing then there’s plenty to see and do. You’ll enter the windmill via an oak door located on a grass roof and from there make your way up a stone walled stairwell to the second floor. There you will find your cosy bed with cushions /throws and on-suite bathroom, made nice and comfortable with secondary heating. So enjoy an early night or a lazy lie in while watching your favourite programs on a large 4k TV. A hairdryer is also available. Next floor up is a lovely well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to rustle up some tasty food.The coffee maker has a selection of complimentary refills, the milk is in the fridge and condiments are in the cupboard. One more floor to the top and you arrive at the wow factor, a lounge with a 360 degree panoramic views across three counties. The sunsets are incredible and once dusk is upon you there is a large 4k TV or plenty of board games to keep you occupied
The Windmill is perfectly located for sight seeing, and for you shop-a-holics then Bicester Village is only a short 7 minute drive away. This luxury destination is home to more than 160 boutiques of world-famous brands, each offering exceptional value with savings of up to 60% on the recommended retail price all year round. If shopping isn’t your thing then there’s plenty to see and do: 7min drive- Bicester Village train station (regular non stop trains to London (44mins) 10 min drive – Bicester Heritage 15min drive - Waddensden Manor House 25min drive – Historical Oxford 25min drive - Blenheim Palace 30min drive – Silverstone 45min drive – Warwick Castle 1hr drive – Cotswold
