RESIDENTS at The Cotswold Home care home in Bradwell Village, near Burford, can now sit in the conservatory or out on the terrace and enjoy their favourite tipple from the newly opened bar.

The Retreat was officially opened earlier this month by John White, Mayor of Burford.

As yet, the home does not hold a full licence to sell alcohol but an application is expected to be made to West Oxfordshire District Council.

The home is part of the Elizabeth Finn Homes group, which offers similar facilities to residents at its nine other homes across England.
