Welcome
The house is situated in the village of Drayton and is ideally
situated for Milton Park, Culham Science Park and Harwell. We
are offering comfortable accommodation for either 5 or 7
nights per week.
Drayton Village and the surrounding area
Drayton is Twinned with Lesparre in France. In the centre you
will find two public houses, both of which serve food and have
pleasant gardens. A post office / general store, a hardware
shop and a newsagent / general store. A more extensive
selection of high street shops, bars, restaurants and leisure
facilities can be found in the popular centres of Abingdon on
Thames, Didcot and Wantage, as well as all of Oxford’s
attractions. There are plenty of walks and cycling opportunities
in the village with footpaths accessing the neighbouring
villages of Sutton Courtney, Steventon and of course
Abingdon.
