The Westwood Hotel is a privately owned luxurious retreat in Oxfordshire. Set amongst 400 acres of ancient woodland, it has an abundance of wildlife including deer, owls and woodpeckers and the private grounds provide a relaxing and tranquil setting. The Westwood Hotel is also on the edge of The Cotswolds. The Oxfordshire Cotswolds are blessed with some of the most picturesque towns and villages in England including the historic market towns of Burford, Witney, Woodstock, Charlbury and Chipping Norton.
Situated three miles west of Oxford City and lying alongside the River Thames, Farmoor Reservoir is ideally situated to attract migrating, wintering and breeding birds and good numbers of Waders, Wagtails and Pipits can be seen along the shoreline. There is a large Gull roost from late July through to mid April. The Pinkhill Reserve was established in 1990 and this has added to the species diversity of the area.
