Long-time BBC Countryfile presenter Adam Henson is visiting the Cotswold Gate Care Home in Burford.

The visit, which will see the 60-year-old give a talk about his life and his dogs, takes place at 2pm this afternoon (Friday, June 5).

Mr Henson lives on the Cotswolds Farm Park estate with his wife, Charlie, and has hosted Countryfile since 2001.

He has also worked on BBC Radio 4’s ‘On Your Farm’ and ‘Farming Today’.

The description for the booking-only event states: “Guests can look forward to a fascinating talk as Adam shares tales of life on the land with his beloved dogs.

“We will be serving delicious seasonal strawberries and cream with Pimm’s.”

Mr Henson has several celebrity neighbours in the Cotswolds, with the likes of former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson residing nearby.

The 60-year-old has spoken about the former Top Gear host in the past, including implicitly earlier this year.

Speaking on The FarmED Podcast, Mr Henson was asked how he thinks the “general farmer” perceives him, and whether he believes that he is a “Marmite sort of character”.

He replied: “Probably not as Marmite as Jeremy Clarkson, but I am quite Marmite, I think.”

The Countryfile presenter went on to acknowledge that farmers watching the show do get “frustrated” in particular about the way the technology, the finances and the struggles within the industry are portrayed.

However, Mr Henson said it was not just a farming programme anymore and that it covers a number of areas.

While acknowledging the impact of Clarkson’s Farm, he noted that it can be quite negative about the sector and that most farmers he knows are more successful than Mr Clarkson’s programme shows farming to be.

The Wroxton, near Banbury, is being marketed as a substantial hotel opportunity in a sought-after rural location popular with both leisure guests and business travellers.

Offering 32 guest bedrooms, the spot also has a large restaurant and bar area, which together can accommodate around 60 diners at full capacity.

There are also a number of meeting and function spaces, making the site suitable for corporate events, private parties and smaller conferences.

As well as the main hotel building, the sale includes a four-bedroom staff house, plus on-site parking with room for about 40 vehicles.

Miranda Ashcroft, Savills Hotel Capital Markets, said: “The Wroxton presents a genuine opportunity for an operator or investor seeking entry into the Cotswolds market, with significant potential for further value creation and future upside.”

The hotel’s location close to Silverstone Circuit is described as a key trading advantage, with major motorsport fixtures helping to drive exceptionally strong performance.

During the busiest race weekends, the hotel is said to achieve full occupancy, with room rates reportedly reaching as high as £900 per night.

Research from Savills has underlined the resilience of the Cotswolds hotel sector, where properties are continuing to outperform rival areas on revenue per available room (RevPAR).

So far this year, RevPAR in the region is understood to be 9.5 per cent higher than in 2023, supported by an average daily rate premium of more than £50 in 2025.

Occupancy levels across the Cotswolds have also remained robust, in contrast to the more pronounced swings being seen in other parts of the UK hotel market.

The Wroxton is being marketed by Savills Hotel Capital Markets on behalf of the current owners.
