Winter tales and storybook magic
Christmas at Estelle Manor
Christmas at Estelle Manor
As the first winter frost settles across our estate, the gardens’ cherished secrets steadily awaken from their slumber… From our storied walls, frosted grounds and towering ancient trees, The Winter Muses silently emerge, each bringing gifts to ready our Manor House for the arrival of Christmas.
This season, we invite you to step through the doors of our enchanting manor, to discover the paths our Muses have wandered and dine amongst the flora they’ve gathered. The winter garden is awake, and you’re invited to let your curiosity lead the way…
Over three special days, reimagine your traditions on our Oxfordshire estate and discover a world of storybook magic, opulent whimsy and wondrous surprises around every corner.
A magical Christmas Eve
As you arrive on our adorned rural retreat, our yuletide story begins. With just one sleep until Christmas Day, enjoy a welcome drink of mulled wine or Champagne, with toasty hot chocolates for little ones, and a warming mince pie, of course.
Settle in to your home-from-home before the festivities commence throughout the afternoon and the anticipation builds for Father Christmas’ visit. Little ones can write their final letters and hear storybook tales before coming together for a hearty dinner in one of our four restaurants. Retire to bed for a sumptuous slumber in preparation for the day ahead…
The big day arrives
Christmas Day is upon us! An opulent Champagne breakfast awaits as presents are torn open and Father Christmas pays our Manor House a visit to spread festive cheer.
Come lunchtime, it’s time for a much-awaited abundant feast… Each of our restaurants will be serving an irresistible set menu, from elevated traditions in The Brasserie to family favourites in The Glasshouse.
Whether your dream Christmas Day involves the King’s Speech, playing games with loved ones or relaxing by the fire, there’ll be plenty to keep you as busy throughout the afternoon, with a light evening buffet to close a magical day.
A day to feast & restore
Kick off your Boxing Day with a Champagne breakfast to carry on the celebrations. Cosy up fireside and take the day entirely at your own pace, finishing with an à la carte dinner.
Christmas at Estelle Manor starts from £7,200 for three nights from Thursday 24th – Sunday 27th December in a Stable Bedroom, including all dinners, Christmas Day lunch, Champagne breakfast each morning and a programme of entertainment.
Extra nights from Sunday 27th – Tuesday 29th December start from £1,525 per night in a Stable Bedroom.
Ring in the New Year
Our next chapter approaches, simply waiting to be written… Celebrating New Year’s Eve at Estelle Manor is always an occasion to remember. Gather with friends to dance the night away as we see in the new dawn or cosy up with the family to create magical memories to cherish for years to come.
A spectacular New Year’s Eve
Set the tone for the festivities from the moment you arrive on our estate with a welcome glass of Champagne to toast to the final pages of the year.
Choose between a relaxing afternoon as live music wafts through The Manor House or make the most of our estate with a schedule of activities for all the family, until it’s time to get ready for our New Year’s Eve bash…
The party commences with a delectable dinner in wonderful company, flowing music to get you on the dancefloor and a number of enchanting surprises throughout the evening. There will be plenty celebrations for all the family, and we’ll of course be closing the year with a glittering fireworks display, lighting up the sky with a shimmer over our Oxfordshire grounds.
A new chapter begins
After a night of merriment and revelry, start the year precisely how you wish – perhaps carry on the celebrations with a sparkling Champagne breakfast, or head to The South Terrace pool and blow away the cobwebs with a New Year’s Day splash.
For a more forgiving start, there’ll be cosy corners to hide-away in, as well as a programme of festivities for all. A delicious dinner awaits, followed by a final Champagne breakfast ahead of your departure, as we turn the page on a memorable festive season and look ahead to all the new year has to bring.
Our two-night New Year’s Eve stay from Thursday 31st December – Saturday 2nd January starts from £5,560 for a Stable Bedroom, including both dinners, our New Year’s Eve party, Champagne breakfast each morning and a programme of entertainment.
