The Hayloft Aynho

The Hayloft is in Aynho, in Northamptonshire. It's a converted barn next to another one called The Stalls. You're out in the fields here but it's easy to get to from the M40.

It sleeps six people in three bedrooms. There are two bathrooms. It's got a 5 Star rating. That means it's a bit nicer inside, with things like a wood burning stove and wooden floors. It feels quite light and airy but it's still a cosy place when you light the fire.

The garden is yours to use. There's parking right there.

Aynho village is about a mile away. They've got apricot trees growing on the old house walls. There's a pub and a restaurant there too. The nearest shop is about three miles.

For walking, you've got plenty of footpaths and bridleways right from the door. They go through the fields.

If you want to drive out, Banbury is close. Deddington, Chipping Norton and Moreton-in-Marsh are all about half an hour away for a proper Cotswold market town look. Blenheim Palace is under 30 minutes drive. So is Bicester Village for shopping. Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, and Oxford are all within an hour.

Inside, it's got a washing machine and a dishwasher. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and a highchair if you need them, and a stairgate. WiFi and a TV are there. No pets, sorry.
