Summer Holiday Adventure Programme
We’ve got a wide range of fully supervised kids’ activities across the estate! Adventure awaits the bold…
For our ‘Estelle Explorers’ – those aged 3 – 5 years – there’s the opportunity to dive into nature with a programme focused on uncovering exciting discoveries in the surrounding countryside. Activities include nature crafts, den building and meeting our Estelle animals.
For ‘Estelle Adventurers’ – those aged 6 – 9 years – our all-action programme offers the chance to connect with nature and master utilising the resources around them with activities like archery, pioneering and survival skills.
Our adrenaline fuelled ‘Estelle Pioneers’ programme is ideal for thrill-seeking teens aged 10 – 14 years who are ready to embrace adventure! Activities include tree climbing, fire lighting and target sports to test their aim.
Family Rooms
Discover your home-from-home to cherish quality time with a family getaway, whether you’re bringing the whole brood together for a celebratory gathering or seeking a quiet night away.
Woodland Cabins
Tucked between the trees to the west of our estate, our two-bedroom Woodland Cabins are perfect for families.
Interiors are cosy yet cool with bohemian touches, with ensuite bathrooms and a vaulted living space complete with a fireplace and dining table. Adults can also make the most of our Thermal Journey at Eynsham Baths, included in your cabin stay.
Private Houses
Sleeping from six to 12, our three private houses are places to gather and connect. Ideal for entertaining and filled with decadent yet comforting touches, our country havens invite you to truly make yourselves at home.
Private houses also include your very own butler, on hand to help you create the perfect, seamless stay.
The Walled Garden
Surrounding our lush kitchen garden, Walled Garden rooms are perfectly suited to family stays, with refined rural details and abundant light.
Handily close to our child-friendly Glasshouse restaurant and kids’ club, The Nook, we can also offer adjacent rooms for children or an extra bed or cot to suit your preferences.
The Stables
Benefitting from glorious sweeping views over our south lawns, Stable Bedrooms are idyllic countryside havens.
Situated next to The Manor House, some rooms offer private terraces perfect for creating summertime family memories. We can provide an extra bed or cot for little ones.
Pursuits for all the family
Make the most of our bucolic Oxfordshire setting together with our range of outdoor Pursuits. Visit the nearby ancient woodland on a Falconry Forest Walk to see how our resident Harris Hawk behaves in its natural habitat, as our expert falconer shares stories and history behind the heritage sport.
For something a little different, head to the great Blenheim Lake, just a stone’s throw from the manor, for Lakeside Dining on the private jetty, where kids can discover nature on a boat tour of the 100-acre lake and try their hand at pole fishing.
Back at the manor, children can take our signature Little Landies for a spin, meet our adorable estate ponies, sheep and pygmy goats, or come together and test your aim with our target sports for some friendly competition.
Family Dining
The fondest of memories are made around the table. With three family-friendly restaurants on our estate as well as our buzzing Potting Shed Café, light bites served in The Living Room and seasonal moments, you’ll be spoilt for choice…
The Glasshouse
Nestled in our abundant Walled Garden, our Glasshouse serves a menu of seasonal classics and nourishing bites filled with our freshly grown fruit and veg.
Little ones can tuck into comforting dishes like Margherita pizza, breaded haddock goujons and French fries and even create their very own sundae for dessert!
The Glasshouse is open to children of all ages throughout opening hours. Open for breakfast Saturday – Sunday, and lunch and dinner Friday – Monday.
The Brasserie
Our light-filled, lively Brasserie serves an all-day menu of seasonal favourites, from our signature beef Wellington and Oxford cheddar soufflé for grown-ups, to grilled chicken with whipped potatoes and broccolini and roasted tomato penne pasta for kids.
