I guess I watched too much 'Escape to the Country', and made the big decision that we would leave the hustle and bustle of the Thames Valley and the stress and pressures of a Sales Management role in IT. I've never looked back and my heart and soul are a big part of what we've created. I love what I do, and my aim is always to make sure that every guest leaves The Old Dairy at Bishops Barton wondering when. not if, they will be back.

Imagine yourself - looking across the fields to the steeple of the village church, surrounded by stunning Dahlias and 8ft Hollyhocks, listening to birdsong and the occasional passing horse. Returning to a luxurious room, lazing on the plush Superking size bed with a book you've been meaning to read for months. Cuddling up together on the sofa while you work out which of the fabulous village pubs you're going to head to or soaking up the bubbles in the double ended tub. That feeling of bliss. Relaxed. Time is yours, not the companies, not the children's and definitely not the chores. Welcome to Bishops Barton

Stunning.
