Leofric Lodge was absolutely perfect for us to finish a long driving tour around the country. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with a warm, personal welcome from the owner and a very much appreciated welcome basket. Bampton village is lovely to wander around with some nice longer walks in the area too. After our travels, we spent a lot of time in the Lodge and garden area as it was so relaxing and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Leofric Lodge.

A bright comfortable and well appointed place. Friendly and helpful host. I cannot comment on the merit of "local amenities" due to our very short stopover prior to travelling home.
