We left Marlborough at 9.00 and drove the 40 miles to Banbury. Walked into town to the local Tourist Info who checked accommodation availability but only one B & B on their "approved" list had any rooms. However when we arived there all the rooms were taken. On the way out of Banbury we spotted a couple of other hotels but these were not on the approved list.
Drove on to Southam where a brusque but helpful lady in the local library directed us to the "Tarsus" a 15 minute walk away just outside the village. This had once been a small Greek taverna but had been much extended over the 20 years the owners had been there and was now a decent sized and very nice hotel. £75 for the night. Had a respectable meal there in the evening, Tournedos Rossini for Jane and Beef Stifado for Tony. £57 including wine.
