We have been to Broadway a few times & itâs well worth a visit as is Burford which is approximately 35 minute drive. So glad I spent my birthday at Rookery Hall & I was sad to leave after a week, it was lovely.

We discussed this with the owner but not much could be done once there. The garden wasn't private, situated between the owners and father's house and exposed anytime outside. No privacy screening shrubs, which could have made the side garden private instead of overlooking the owner's driveway.. As a working farm, there was lots of machinery noise and coming and goings of trucks, utes, atvs, JCB's, which meant is wasn't very peaceful. Didn't expect to have to share the driveway with the father Also didn't expect the clay shooting group of 10 plus to be in the garage adjacent for most of the day. As there is an interconnecting door into the main lounge, we were disturbed by all the noise most of the day. I think these things should be put into the listing so renters can make an informed choice about whether the situation suits them.
