About this property

Woodstock Manor - Grade II listed manor next to Blenheim Palace

Description:

Whether you're seeking the perfect base to explore the Cotswolds or a peaceful retreat to spend time with family and friends, our Grade II listed townhouse is the ideal place to relax, unwind and enjoy the local area.

Nestled in the heart of the historic market town of Woodstock, our stunning seven bedroomed manor house is the perfect place to gather your loved ones and enjoy a relaxing weekend break in the countryside.

Being a Grade II listed property, Woodstock Manor exudes character and charm. This historic property was even reportedly the birthplace of Edward of Woodstock, also known as The Black Prince!

Retaining many of its original features, including a large inglenook fireplace with a flagstone hearth, studded oak doors and exposed beams, the house is steeped with character and history. With comfortable, stylish decor and ample amenities including a large garden and fully-equipped kitchen, our holiday let is the perfect space to switch off and relax.


The Space:

The house offers 5000 sq.ft. of impressive living and entertaining space for up to 18 guests (14 +4). All 7 bedrooms are generous in both size and character, which are offered alongside 4 bathrooms, three reception rooms, dining room, kitchen, and a large garden with terrace.

The property borders Blenheim palace (there's a secret footpath entrance just 100m from the house) with its stunning views and extensive grounds. Oxford City Centre, The Cotswolds, and Soho Farmhouse are within easy reach, while the nearby rail station offers direct trains to London in under an hour.


Guest Access:

Woodstock Manor has its own private driveway and parking for up to 5 cars with additional parking in the barn next to the gate if necessary. The property also includes a large back garden. The gate at the bottom of the garden gives you easy access to Woodstock and the Blenheim palace gate.

Check-in time is from 3pm and check-out time is before 10am. Contactless check-in and check-out via key safes.


Additional Information:

If you are bringing dogs, please add them to your booking (there is a £50 fee to cover the additional cleaning required).

Amazing House, in a perfect location and perfect for our family Christmas

We stayed here over Christmas with our family and the house was perfect for a few days in the country. Blenheim Palace on your doorstep and walks into the village it was ideal. The fireplace, large dining room and huge rooms - the house was presented perfectly and would happily stay here again.

Large period house

A lovely house within walking distance of the lovely village of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. We enjoyed our annual Christmas get together of a large group of 12 girl friends. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of bathroom facilities. A large kitchen and magnificent round table in the dining room. We were a little disappointed there were no Christmas decorations up as it was the first weekend of December, but we managed to find them!

Beautiful huge house!

Wow this house was amazing! We came here for a hen weekend and everyone was so impressed by the house and the stunning garden. Bedrooms were all beautiful, huge amount of space. Lovely living room- 18 of us were able to watch the coronation in the main room by bringing a few chairs in from the dining room, we had a wonderful weekend! Would definitely stay again, in fact, I’ll be looking for a reason to stay again!

Weekend Away

The house was perfect for what we needed, lots of space for the children to play and lots of space in the bedrooms for cots etc. The house was sparkling clean and all the amenities provided were excellent. The location is perfect for walking the estate grounds and wandering round the town. A brilliant house for a large group where we will be returning to!

Brilliant house and location

Fantastic house, very well equipped kitchen to cater for large amounts of people. Great space. Near all amenities, pubs (lots of them in Woodstock!), restaurants, an Indian and Chinese takeaway and a fish and chip shop. Local coop very well stocked. Great area to walk from and too with lots of options for short or long walks. If you plan carefully you will be able to fit a pub in for lunch. The Black Prince pub next door is very friendly and food is reasonable, it’s also very dog friendly. Our one negative comment on the house is that there is quite a lot of road noise if you stay in the rooms on the main road. We also could not get the windows open in these rooms. If it’s hot it would need fans! Overall a great stay would definitely book again.

Fantastic

The entire experience was incredible, the house was beautifully clean and extremely well stocked, every tiny detail had been thought of and carefully executed. I would love to stay again with a bigger group when restrictions lift. Location was perfect, everything walking distance, palace, shops restaurants and bars. The only comment I would like to add is to maybe have some small portable fans as the loft room where I slept was very hot. And obviously they can’t control the weather but I do feel a small fan would have helped significantly. Can’t wait to stay again. Thank you to everyone on the team who made it possible.

The house is very lovely. Comfortable and very clean. The management team is helpful. It is across the street form Blenheim so the access to the gardens is amazing. Only one question is why don’t they have a clothes dryer in a house that large. We would love to go back.

Hello,

Thanks for taking a look at our properties. Worton Park based in Oxfordshire has been running holiday lets since 2012. We currently have six beautiful properties located across three sites sleeping from 2 to 22 people. Each house has its own character and are presented to a high standard. Our holiday homes are perfect for group gatherings, celebrations, or as a comfortable base from which to explore Oxfordshire and The Cotswolds.

Why they chose this property

Woodstock Manor is a very special house. This house is noted as the birthplace of Edward 'The Black Prince' son of King Edward III of England, and it has retained lots of it's original character. Children and adults alike will enjoy exploring across the three-floor maze with views of Blenheim Palace. We love it and we're confident you will too.
