Shakespeare House Guest House - With great reviews from national newspapers, this Gold Award winning, 5-star Guest Accommodation (from Quality in Tourism for Visit Britain) is said to have been visited by Shakespeare. In the village of Grendon Underwood, 20 minutes from Oxford, Shakespeare House is a beautifully restored Grade II Listed property that dates back over 500 years. Once a coaching inn, the building is part Elizabethan and part Tudor. Today it has luxury rooms, a welcoming drawing room with large fireplace and TV, and an elegant dining room with log fire. The house also has front and rear gardens. Shakespeare House was voted one of the top 50 romantic places to stay in the UK by The Sunday Telegraph newspaper (December 2008). The Guardian newspaper said "great for solo travellers and dinner's such fun", while The Observer liked the "plush furnishings and super-swish bathrooms". Shakespeare House was also praised by Conde Nast Traveller Magazine.
