The Bedrooms
All bedrooms have lovely views, and their own ensuite carpeted bathrooms in which we provide fluffy towels and dressing gowns, soap, shampoo and bubble bath. Guests will also find in their rooms fresh flowers, a colour television, radio clock, tea and coffee making facilities, heated rollers and a hair dryer. Uplands today is special because of the warmth and happiness which pervades everything, the way visitors feel cherished, and the high standard of presentation.

Reception Rooms
Guest Drawing Room where guests have tea (unless we have it in the garden), where we meet for drinks before dinner, and where coffee is taken afterwards • Dining Room • The Orangery

Dining
Eating and drinking may well be a pleasurable part of your stay with us. A welcoming tea with irresistible home made cake is served on arrival, by the fire in Winter or on the terrace in Summer. A really delicious candlelit dinner is available most nights. We also have a superb wine list and those who enjoy a good bottle will be spoilt for choice. The list can be emailed to you on request. A selection of reasonably priced house wines are offered in addition. Dinner is generally eaten en famille by candlelight, or in the warm weather on the terrace. But if you prefer to eat alone or in your group, that's fine too. After dinner, guests can sit and chat over a glass of wine, or relax in their own drawing room and enjoy their coffee with TV, music, conversation or a good book.

The Garden
The house stands in its own lovely tranquil garden, facing south over a ha-ha, and across the grassy pastures planted with mature trees. The sheep graze peacefully. There is a large lawn, suitable for croquet and badminton, a very pretty rose garden with a waterfall and a fishpond. Elsewhere scented roses, hedges of lavender and tangles of clematis, wisteria and honeysuckle provide a haven for wild birds. There are secluded places to sit and ponder.

Location
Uplands House is convenient for the M40 (junctions 11 or 12). We are just off the A422, 6 miles from Banbury on the road to Stratford on Avon, in the Cotswolds, an area renowned for its beauty and picturesque scenery.
