Hotels near RAF Brize Norton - BZZ, Oxford

Small residential town. Some pubs and restaurants in centre of town and in local countryside. Perfect as a base for exploring local area rather than as a place to visit.. few miles from Oxford, but relatively quiet. Blenhiem Palace 30 mins by car.. there is a crocodile farm nearby and its on the edge of the cotswolds... so quite a bit to do for a few days in the area.

If you like Downton Abbey, the TV program and the characters you have to go to Bampton. A very quaint village where the outdoor scenes were filmed. Near the library is a small museum all about Downton Abbey. The staff in there were very happy to share their experiences of the filming with you.

It is quite a thriving town with some busy pubs and a few nice restaurants. It is quite close to some interesting tourist attractions (such as Blenheim Palace) and is a lovely area to explore on long walks and has some very quaint villages - we especially like Burford where there is a very good garden centre and the high street is wonderful, with lots of local small shops.

This was a great hotel - unusual and quirky - with fantastic service from all members of staff. The food was excellent, especially the evening meal. A really delightful place to spend a couple of nights.

A beautiful picturesque place. Beautiful countryside and near to Carterton which has a fabulous local pub called The Beehive, where we had some food which was lovely. Also had cocktails in the local bar called Grapes and Tomatoes. Outstanding service, drinks and fabulous night out! We loved our stay at The Vines, the breakfast was second to none! By far the best breakfast I've ever had at a B&B. Fabulous friendly, welcoming staff and a lovely place to stay. I would definitely, without hesitation return when visiting the area again.

Great if you're mobile and want to explore The Cotswolds, but the property is in the middle of a squaddie-town, so may not be what you're expecting. Having said that, it's extremely cosy, comfortable and well appointed, apart from the kitchen utensils and crockery!
