Historic market town stay near Oxford
The Spread Eagle, Thame, Oxfordshire

Property details
Stay at a charming abode in the historic market town of Thame, a half-hour drive from beautiful Oxford - includes breakfast and a cream tea, plus optional dinner credit and parking for one car
- Historic charm in a picturesque filming location: You might recognise Thame's famous high street as the location for iconic TV series Midsomer Murders. Set amidst the artisan butchers, bakers and tea shops, you'll find The Spread Eagle, which shows off a somewhat older history dating as far back as the 16th century, over the years having welcomed some highly illustrious former guests.
- Elegant interiors: There's more to this place than its charming facade, however: interiors offer plenty of imaginative yet utterly elegant touches, that tastefully contrast with the building's many original period features. An overall sense of heritage permeates every nook and cranny, with vintage furniture dotting the rooms and communal areas.
- Mediterranean tapas: Take yourself on a culinary tour of Europe with the hotel's creative tapas menu. After a pre-dinner cocktail, glass of wine or beer, tuck in to fresh sharing plates from Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Turkey and Morocco in the hotel's Tapas Bar, Garden Bar or Fothergill Hall Lounge.

Location and what's nearby
16-17 Cornmarket, Thame OX9 2BW
The Spread Eagle is ideally positioned for scenic strolls through the delightful market town of Thame, where you'll find 13th-century buildings, weekly farmers' markets and a range of artisan butchers, bakers, delicatessens and tea shops lining the famous high street. For a dose of local culture, the Thame Museum and The Players Theatre are both walking-distance, and TV buffs shouldn't miss booking a Midsomer Murders tour.
Further out, you'll be an easy drive away from the 'dreaming spires' of Oxford, as well as Blenheim Palace and Waddesdon Manor, two of England's grandest stately homes. F1 fans will love visiting the famous Silverstone race track, while bargains aplenty await shopaholics at Bicester Outlet Village just a short distance away.
