Karen's Review Of This Property:
A Tudor manor house dating from 1550 set in a quiet, picturesque village above Bourton-on-the-Water, Clapton Manor is surrounded by its lovely gardens with only the birds to wake you in the morning and fabulous walking paths straight from the back gate. Inside the house, thick stone walls, exposed oak beams, and inglenook fireplaces set the scene. There are two tastefully decorated double rooms (one can be a twin or a king) with very comfortable beds, enormous goose-down comforters and top-of-the-line bathrooms. A cozy sitting room with comfy sofas, a wood fire, and books and magazines is the perfect setting for tea on less than perfect days. Otherwise, food is served in the garden where chickens waddle preparing to lay eggs for your breakfast. James runs his own garden tour company specializing in visits to private gardens both in England and Europe. His and Karin’s own garden is surrounded by hedges and old stone walls highlighting roses over arches and a wild-flower meadow. They have been featured in magazines all over the world. Karin and James will point you in the right direction for visiting nearby gardens. The manor is perfect as a base for visiting all the major sites: Blenheim Palace, Stratford, Warwick, Hidcote, Kiftsgate and Bath is only an hour and a half away.
