OK, people, have to tell you about our amazing quick getaway to the Cotswolds in the English countryside. Jim found us the coolest place to stay at Feldon Valley. It’s modern and rustic and basically in the middle of nowhere with a massive golf course attached to it. We don’t play golf, but if you do, you will be in heaven or wherever you golfers go and/or call it.

Breakfast is included with your stay and yes, there is a giant buffet table filled with fruit and cereal and such but there’s also a full menu of hot items including a vegan English Breakfast which Steve had you must have yourself. It came with this tofu scramble that was easily the best we’ve ever tasted.

For dinner, they offer a few items on menu plus the chef has a few more daily vegan specials. Jim chose the falafel burger with fries right off the menu and Steve went with the vegan mushroom risotto which he can not stop talking about. So so SO DELICIOUS. The staff are super friendly and happy to help with any special requests.

Big bonus at Feldon Valley is the walkable trail that loops you through all these farms. You walk right around the goats and sheep as some of them stand directly on the path you are asked to stay on (they don’t care, it’s their property). We landed at The Cherington, a delightful pub run by the equally delightful Helen, enjoyed ourselves some spirits and then trekked our way back in the almost dark (bring your phone, the light on it will come in very handy).

Feldon Valley is an amazing getaway, about 20 minutes outside of the main town of Banbury, and easily accessible to Buorton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold (both must see charming villages) and more. Go take in the English countryside and rest assured vegan options are a-plenty.
