Situated in the lower part of the tiny hamlet of Thrupp, these two detached properties stand in the grounds of a manor house and lie adjacent to the 18th-century Oxford Canal. Offering wonderfully characterful accommodation for a holiday, they stand opposite one another: The Coach House (Ref NLX) is a spacious and imaginatively converted barn which overlooks open fields, whilst The Dovecote (Ref NLY) is a cosy little romantic hideaway for two.<br />In its day, the canal was a main artery to British industry, but in modern times, the barges move at a more relaxed pace. Thrupp starred as itself in the TV series <em>Morse</em> in the adaptation of Colin Dextor&rsquo;s <em>Last Bus to Woodstock</em>. In Thrupp is The Boat public house with its open fire and beamed ceilings. A gentle, short stroll along the Oxford Canal towpath towards the nearby village of Kidlington leads to the Jolly Boatman on the A4260. Both pubs serve a selection of drinks and good food. There are many walks to be enjoyed nearby, either canal-side or through the owner&rsquo;s managed woodland, along the banks of the River Cherwell, which is abundant with wildlife and birds. A &frac12;-hour walk along the towpath or short drive in the car leads to Kidlington, which, recognised as the &lsquo;largest village in England&rsquo;, caters for every need - having several supermarkets, post office, chemists, launderette and various pubs and caf&eacute;s. There is a nearby Park and Ride service into the city of Oxford as well as a regular bus service from the village. The M40 motorway is easily reached, connecting to either London or Birmingham in about 1 hour. <br />The properties make an ideal holiday base to explore the Cotswolds and Shakespeare&rsquo;s Stratford-upon-Avon. The town of Woodstock, home to Blenheim Palace (birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill) and the village of Bladon (where Churchill is buried) are within 5 miles.
