From the M40 travelling North, take Junction 11, turn left towards Banbury, and then follow the A422 through Wroxton. After a few miles you see a sign welcoming you to Warwickshire. Our drive is exactly 1 mile from this sign, on the RHS, just after a brown sign on LHS saying "Upton House 200 yards". The drive is 10 metres before the road signposted to Ratley. Turn right in here, and we are the first entrance on the right. 

From M40 South, turn off at junction 12, follow signpost to Gaydon, turn left at the roundabout in the village following the sign to Upton House, Continue for about 2 miles and then turn right following sign Upton House, turn left at the 'T' junction and continue to the end of the road, still following Upton House, turn left, going past Upton House, and pass the turning on left signposted to Ratley. There is a drive 10 metres further on the left, marked Uplands Farm. Turn in here, and we are the first entrance on the right.

    Travelling alone, unusual in retirement, I found Uplands House very easily from instructions and was immediately captivated by the warmth of Poppy's welcome, the sybaritic comfort of my room and the tranquility of the setting. Dinner, alfresco as an additional bonus in our quixotic climate, was truly outstanding, as was breakfast the next morning. It was clear that meticulous attention was paid to sourcing the very best ingredients and assembling them with Poppy's wonderful flair. I enjoyed every mouthful. The company was congenial, helped along with unobtrusive prompting by the hosts who found time to join in the conversations. A memorable experience throughout and one which I intend to repeat, with my wife, as soon as a special occasion permits.
