Something for everyone
Family Stays
Whether you’re coming with toddlers, tweens or teens, there’s something for all ages at Estelle Manor. From spacious family rooms to our enchanting kids’ club and a whole host of activities…
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.
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.
The Brasserie welcomes children of all ages until 8pm. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
The Armoury
Our Japanese restaurant sits within The Manor House serving a sumptuous menu of sashimi, tempura, maki and robata, with plenty of child-friendly options suitable for more adventurous little taste buds, alongside warming dishes such as grilled salmon steak and steamed rice.
The Armoury welcomes children of all ages until 8pm. Open for lunch Saturday – Sunday and dinner Wednesday – Sunday.
The Billiards Room
The Billiards Room welcomes families to enjoy a menu of traditional Chinese dishes, with a particular focus on dim sum and showstopping favourites including char siu belly pork and an irresistible whole roast duck.
The striking space features limed plaster walls and serpent-shaped velvet banquettes in shades of Malachite green, lit by Murano glass chandeliers overhead, whilst The Billiards’ Private Dining Room is the ideal choice for a more intimate celebration.
The Billiards Room welcomes children aged eight – 17 between 6pm-8pm. From 8pm, The Billiards Room is for guests aged 18 and over.
The Nook
An enchanting hideaway for our littlest guests… Filled with magical surprises for the playful and curious, The Nook is our dedicated kids’ club for children aged between three – eight years old.
There are active, creative and quiet areas for children to explore, from hand-crafted fancy dress and arts and crafts to discovering our soft play area.
