The Lord Nelson - Brightwell Baldwin

Watlington, Oxfordshire, OX49 5NP Tel: 01491 612497

The Lord Nelson is a traditional 300 year old Inn. Originally a thatched cottage, later additions to the original stone building include 18th century gable ends and a quaint veranda facing onto the stone church of this sleepy Oxfordshire village.

In 1905, following complaints from the church and the local squire about the over-indulgent behaviour of the local estate workers, the inn was closed and became a shop, post office and finally a private house. But 1971 a couple driving past liked the look of it so much that they decided to restore the inn to its former glory, re-opening on the 21st of October 1971, Trafalgar day.

Full of fresh flowers, lit candles and a splendid inglenook fireplace, the Lord Nelson provides the perfect atmosphere for relaxing after a country walk or a hard day at the office. Also during the summer, visitors can enjoy the pretty terraced garden, complete with weeping willow.
