About Us

We are Brenda and Norman Shaw. We bought Crane Hill four years ago. We enjoy living in the countryside, gardening, growing food and cooking, especially outdoor barbecues in the summer months. We also have a studio below the Lookout where we enjoy our creative hobbies of embroidery, all things sewing, stained and fused glass.

We very much enjoy meeting people and having travelled extensively we understand about being good hosts. Having lived in this area for a number of years we can help with suggestions for local outings in The Cotswolds, walking across the hills and villages or dining at local pubs and restaurants.

Oxenton is an enchanting hamlet in The Cotswolds, 7 miles from the regency town of Cheltenham Spa and just 4 miles from Cheltenham Racecourse. 

We are located in an area of outstanding natural beauty with
‘The Gloucestershire Way’ running through the village and on towards Tewkesbury Abbey.

 

Oxenton is near the village of Bishops Cleeve, a ten-minute drive, which offers a good selection of shops and amenities. Convenient access to and from the M5 motorway, junction 9, is five miles away.
