The area surrounding is an ideal visitor’s base. Central London is only 40 minutes away by train and the M4/M40/M25 are easily reached. Heathrow, Oxford, Reading, Birmingham, Stratford – the Princes Risborough area is strategically placed for all these!

The , Ridgeway National Trail and local National Trust properties bring many people here for walking; short breaks; holidays and family events bring many more. Work commitments with local companies also bring visitors who need local, temporary, accommodation.

So-Ever thought of running a B&B?

Some of the existing local B&B’s have closed this year due to the owners’ retirement, so there has been a big loss of visitor accommodation in the area.

All you need is a spare room or two, (ensuite is ideal, but not essential) and a friendly and welcoming manner. You will meet lots of lovely people from all parts of the world and earn a useful income! Now the kids have flown the nest, do something completely different! If you have ever toyed with the idea of running a B&B yourself, call us for a no obligation chat to find out what it’s all about.

7 Horticultural Society We are now nearing the end of the year and all the fruits of our labour should be gathered in. It has been one of the most challenging years for gardeners, with drought early in the spring followed by non-stop rain and a lack of sunshine which meant very few pollinating insects were about at the right time.

The lighting, pleasant, just enough. The sofas rich dark leather. The hovering manager talked too much. The service took forever.

The tablecloth was gleaming white. The napkins driven snow. The tinkling glasses clear as ice. The wine as red as blood.

Their talk was low, intense by turn. Each learning of the other. A friendship new and built to last. The food was crap however.
