King John’s Palace - Self-catering house in Oxfordshire
King John's Palace
Little Langley, Leafield, OX29 9QD, Oxfordshire
England,
Reino Unido
The rear is Tudor, the front is Victorian, and the history of the house is fascinating: it was a royal hunting lodge for Wychwood Forest, six miles.
Today the great dining hall incorporates the kitchen: it's the hub of the house and as cosy as toast (note the six-door Aga). Hire the services of an excellent chef or dine at The Lamb Inn at Burford (four miles). Or gather in the garden for a great big barbecue, serenaded by the odd bleat or moo (the owner's farm is as immaculate as your home). Marvel at Blenheim Palace at Woodstock (14 miles) and ancient breeds of bristly pig at Cotswold Farm Park.
Return to country air, star-studded skies, and pre-dinner drinks by crackling fires. As for the bedrooms, they're pretty, airy and antiquey, with sparkling new bath tubs and showers. Some even have the old bells to the dining hall (though you can no longer summon the servants!)

Local points of interest from Vicky Greves:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Vicky Greves:
- The house in itself is a rare Listed historic property having been built by King John and used as a Royal Hunting Lodge visited by 10 kings and queens. Sleep and tread where royalty once trod and slept. Four poster beds and views in every direction.
- Situated within 10 minutes drive of the historic town of Burford with many shops, eating places and Burford Garden Centre. Diddly Squat is just across the valley. There is a lovely circular walk from the house ideal for those with dogs.
- The Cotswolds are on your doorstep, honey coloured stone surrounds you and that is just around the garden. If you do decide to leave the house we can guide you to whatever you fancy. Books of local interest and guides are here to help plan your days out
- You are of course neighbours to some very famous people of a certain "Set" but we try not to mention anyone in particular, just ask and we can tell you.
- We have partnered with some great local businesses. Order in a vintage tea, a delicious tasting menu or dinner cooked by a private chef, or just relax in the care of a mobile massage, breathwork or yoga therapist. Relaxed hens welcome by arrangement
- Daylesford, Blenheim Palace, Adams Farm, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Water Park, National Trust Properties, Oxford, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Campden, the list is endless of places to visit and all have great dining options should you wish to stay out.
