OUT & ABOUT
The Churchill Court Hotel has countless activities on its doorstep including the infamous Blenheim Palace, resting place of Sir Winston Churchill, only 1.5 miles away. Blenheim Palace opens its doors to many events throughout the year and so it's worth checking out their site to see if something takes your fancy.
If that isn't your thing there are plenty of other things to do and see in and around Oxfordshire. It's a 10 minute train ride away from Oxford City Centre which oozes in history and architecture. If eating and drinking is more your thing, or shopping, check out the newly renovated Westgate shopping centre, Witney or Bicester Village.
