Jo’s guidebook to the Yurt at Waterperry Alpacas
Food scene
Lovely thatched pub within walking distance of the Yurt (takes about half an hour across the fields). Alternatively, drive there in less than 5 minutes. Great food and play area for the kids.
The Clifden Arms
75 Clifden RoadLovely thatched pub within walking distance of the Yurt (takes about half an hour across the fields). Alternatively, drive there in less than 5 minutes. Great food and play area for the kids.
The Thatch
29-30 High StLovely restaurant in Thame. Good food and nice outside eating area.
Very pricey and you will probably need to book ahead but, if you have the budget, who wouldn't want to eat at Raymond Blanc's Michelin starred restaurant, which is about a 10 minute drive from us. For special occasions!

Home to Oxford Football Club. Just next door is the Vue Cinema, Bowling, some indoor golf thing, escape rooms and a few restaurants. A good option if the weather isn't so great.
