This is - in my opinion - one of those places you have to visit before you die. Preferably on a…read morenice sunny day in the warm months. The pub is steeped in history and that is reflected in the well kept but near un-touched interior. They have some great ales on tap and all are served with a friendly smile and, if not too busy, are happy to talk through some of the pub's history. The garden here in the summer is fantastic. The views are breath-taking and they run a barbecue every Sunday which of course, does attract a huge crowd so either get there early or have some extra bags of patience with you. We head there without fail once a year with a big group of friends and spend the whole afternoon eating and drinking beer, I highly advise you to do the same!

Organising a trip with a group of friends is never easy. If they all live in another country with a…read moremulti-hour time difference between you and them it's even tougher. But from my first phone call with Wendy at the Old School, I knew if anyone could make our dreams of a car-less, stress free, food forward holiday in the Cotswolds come true it would be her! Wendy sorted out transportation from the Kingham station to the Old School and our people carrier was there waiting as soon as we stepped off the train. We stopped en route at Daylesford (highly recommended) and bought some fantastic food souvenirs. When we arrived at the Old School Wendy warmly welcomed us, showed off each room and then let us have our pick. Not long after she met us in the sitting room with plenty of tea and two types of cake. Prior to our arrival she'd booked us a table at the nearby Red Lion Inn for dinner. As we left to head there on our first night we told her about a walk we planned to do the next day. At breakfast the following morning, Wendy let us know she'd given it much thought and come up with an alternative walk that would require less time on the road, more time on footpaths and a stop at a country pub. We were sold and she gave us a map as well as verbal and written directions. Hours later, after we'd finished lunch at the pub, we received word from our server that Wendy had phoned to make sure we'd gotten there and to have him remind us not too eat too much since she was preparing our Thanksgiving dinner. I don't think there was a single thing we wanted for that Wendy did not provide: - An extravagant four course Thanksgiving dinner at a very reasonable £30 per person - Rubber boots, gloves, hats for those who forgot theirs to keep us warm on our walk - Clotted cream (because I love the stuff!) - Transportation to and from the station (hello hassle free!) - Tea and homemade cake each afternoon She even laundered my friends' jeans after they got muddy on our walk. Have you ever heard of such hospitality anywhere, ever? The Old School is an absolute dream for folks wanting a food-centric holiday in the Cotswolds. The breakfasts, bundled into the nightly rate, are dreamy indulgences which include yogurt, numerous fruit compotes, cereals, smoked salmon, tea, coffee, toast with homemade jams, eggs any way you like, bacon, sausage and black pudding. The B&B makes an excellent base if you want to go walking and take in the gorgeous countryside on foot. I feel as if I've stumbled upon a unique paradise in my discovery of the Old School and can't recommend the place highly enough. My only disappointment? I didn't spot any stoats while at the Old School. Pretty sure that means I shall have to return soon to continue my search!

My stay at the Old School was truly one of the most wonderful travel experiences of my life…read more Wendy is an absolute gift of a hostess. She was so immediately kind and welcoming, it basically felt like I was staying with my favorite English auntie for the week. She's also quite talented in the kitchen, and whipped up the most delicious cakes. (She even offered to email me the recipe.) Make time for your breakfast - you will definitely want to linger. My room was very comfortable and quiet. I believe there are only two other guest suites in the three-story house, and everyone has plenty of room and privacy for themselves. During the day we all adventured our separate ways, and it was a treat to reconvene over tea or the next morning's breakfast and compare travel stories. The Old School is an easy walk to a local pub for dinner and ales, and is also a short jaunt to a local garage where you can rent a car. It's well-situated as a base for daytime trips as far as Stratford and Bath, though there's more than enough to see within 15 or so miles of the Old School. Leading up to the visit, every step of making arrangements with Wendy was easy and pleasant, allowing me to focus my mind on the fun side of planning a vacation. Wendy is also an excellent resource to those not familiar with the area. She loaded me up with maps, brochures and advice to make sure I had everything I needed to make the most of my brief visit. I could have stayed another week, and am already plotting my return with friends and family in tow. Definitely book a visit - you'll be so happy you did.

We paid £65 for the two of us sharing a room which included a fried breakfast Some of our friends stayed in a chain hotel down the road and paid something closer to £100 per room not including breakfast. The owners were ever so polite, friendly and accommodating, even when my friend broke their shower! The room we stayed in was small, however this is wasn't a problem because we were only staying one night. They also appeared to have larger rooms which would accommodate someone staying for a longer period. The bedroom was immaculate, as was the rest of the house I think possibly they have very recently refurbished the bathroom and kitchen as they looked new. I had a lovely nights sleep, and although we got back to the B&B at 02.30 in the morning, the owners very kindly gave us a key to quietly let ourselves in. Overall a lovely, clean place in a quiet area that benefits from a personal touch that is sadly missing from larger places. Almost a shame that I have no more nights in Guildford planned!

The furniture was from the 1970s with a well worn, leatherette parker knoll chair, a stand alone shower cubicle stood against the wall and the TV was the smallest one ever seen. The general feel of the room suggested an air of a very unloved OAP who had been put out to pasture in the local nursing home some many years before. The single room, was located in an adjacent property, go figure! The room's main light fitting did not work so it was not possible to even see the bed and state of the room never mind view the TV or drinks facilities. The bathroom was shared and the kitchen looked like it had seen better days as well.

We booked this last minute and as soon as we walked in, were ignored. A white couple came in after us and the blonde waitress went directly around us and took them to a table. I made direct eye contact as she was taking them, as if to say, I saw that and yes we're still here. She intentionally avoided us completely after as we were standing there waiting to be helped. The man behind the bar saw, seated us instead, and then we were ignored for another 20 minutes. I asked another blonde waitress if we could be helped and she said WE'LL GET TO YOU. She had never even acknowledged our presence or existence prior. I was already so upset we just decided to leave after that. We left with empty bellies and a trip to a local grocery store instead. There's a Yelp review from 9 days ago about this and one on TripAdvisor from this month saying the EXACT SAME THING.

We had: - Crispy Lincolnshire Poacher, roasted sweet potato, honey roasted carrots, baby spinach, chicory, avocado (£8.50) - basically a grown up mozzarella stick that was so delicious we had a hard time getting our mom to share bites with us. - Mixed roast beef and pork, crackling & Apple sauce w/ goose fat potatoes, double egg Yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, honey roasted roots cauliflower cheese and gravy (£16.50) - thank god we saw another table receive their servings first because then we knew this was a huge portion to be shared. Very good, traditional English meal - Crispy pork belly, creamy truffle mash, baby spinach, roasted button onion, cauliflower purée, apple sauce (£16.50) - delicious, especially the creamy truffle mash. Service was friendly although we had to catch their attention a bit more than I like. The space has a welcoming, well-decorated pub feel but well lit. We realized afterwards that they had out door seating which would have been nice to take advantage of with the fantastic weather! There is a parking lot out front.

I won a one night stay at this peaceful rural retreat by composing a poem about The Chilterns area…read morewhich has been published on the Visit Chilterns website. The booking by email was administered very efficiently and we extended at a cost of ninety Pounds for one extra night as my Australian friend was over. Miv, the owner asked us if there were any special dietary requirements but there are none for us. We caught,at some expense, Chiltern Railways from London Marylebone to Princes Risborough. The internet instructions I got, not from the actual B&B website, but from Google Maps or something, proved to give us the runaround. We walked in the pouring rain and I had to knock on someone else's door in a different part of town for directions as there are two streets with 'Icknield' in them. Our upstairs room was very clean, quite large with a small TV and a rocking horse, shower and comfortable bed. We were able to order an Italian meal from a local takeaway to be delivered on the first night which we ate in the kitchen. The breakfasts are superb with bacon, sausage and the usual, lovely bread and I tried Grape Nuts for the first time with yogurt and lemon curd. We walked into the quaint town on the next, much sunnier day and gazed at the lovely church and Amy Johnson's house, browsed charity shops and then caught the 300 bus to Aylesbury which I had never visited before. The 300 bus we caught back (destination High Wycombe) and this dropped us at the end of the street from the B&B (we just had to pass a crossroads). Miv gave us use of the annex lounge and kitchenette which opens onto a very large garden and I finished a crime book sitting and lying in the sun next to a farm at the end of the garden. The cats are shy - I would have liked to have stroked them. A real rural retreat from London, peaceful and some of the houses are very 'Midsomer Murders' around this area. Well done Miv for donating this prize - I've never really spent the night in a large house in The Chilterns before and her husband very kindly gave us a lift back to the station for our train to London as it was raining. I can understand a B&B owner not wanting smoking inside but I think an ashtray for the garden would be handy although we didn't really get negative comments about our cigarettes. It reminded me of New Zealand this B&B!
