Family Christmas Celebration 2024

Amazing Manor House and so many rooms!! Spacious and has all the facilities required and than some....We all had a wonderful time and were able to tame the 'Aga' and cook with confidence. Friendly pub in walking distance and a lovely walk along the canal. Would recommend this accommodation, location and host and would certainly visit again!!

Country disco hen party

Beautiful property in a beautiful location. Property was clean on arrival and very spacious. Excellent facilities. Slight problem with woodlice but help was sent quickly to support us with this. Understand it’s an old property in the countryside so these things happen. Overall a very good stay which was perfect for our requirements.

Manor House Thrupp

Overall the property was perfect for our family stay. We hosted a small event for our son’s naming ceremony, we had planned to do this in the large garden but the British weather had other ideas! The property was large enough to host our guests in the house.

Beautiful sprawling house

Lovely property, clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped. Comfy beds. Just one or two minor issues: Nothing to wash up with - we had to go and buy washing up brush and scourers. Also the electric hob controls are very difficult to use as the numbers on each dial have worn away. Any that are still visible are impossible to see duecto poor lighting.

AMAZING venue!

We had a fantastic stay at Manor Farm - the kids loved the maze of rooms, games room & too many games of football to count! The set up of the living rooms were great, comfy beds & well equipped. Great walks from the door & handy having the pub & tea room - think we’ll be back!

Weekend away

We stayed for our friend’s hen do, 17 women in total, and the house was perfect - bedrooms were well set up and the downstairs space is so extensive with access to the outside. A really easy location to get into the city centre with lots to do locally (we had a great carvery at The Boat Inn and kayaked on the canal as well). Parking was ample and the team were really responsive to all and any questions prior to our check in. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Hen party goals

We had the best stay at the house. The rooms are stunning and the space was perfect for our group allowing for people to split off into smaller groups at times as well as have all 16 of us comfortably in one room. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our event!

February hen do

We had an absolutely brilliant time staying at Manor House for a friend's hen weekend. The house is gorgeous and had everything we needed, including a space big enough for the 15 of us to sit together. The bedrooms were really comfortable and the property manager was responsive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We are a group of friends from university who came to stay for our annual meet up. The house was everything we could have wanted with multiple communal areas, a large dining room and a well stocked kitchen. The beds were so comfortable and the garden was lovely as was the location.

Perfect family celebration getaway

This is the first time that we have been away with all of the family before . All 13 of us - ranging from 18 to late 80’s. The accommodation could not have been better, split over three floors, to allow everybody space to move around and have some privacy when needed. The rooms are well equipped as well as the ground floor space. We booked caterers for dinner one evening which worked so well for us all. The kitchen is well equipped providing enough space to store everything for our large party. Would recommend this property 100%., as well as kayaking on the Canal outside the property. So much to enjoy close by.

Perfect group holiday house

We hired this house for a hen do and it was ideal; the space was perfect and nice and big with a good bathroom and bedroom set-up. The photos don't do the size justice! The kitchen was well equipped and we didn't need to leave the house all weekend. The property manager on site was really helpful! Would definitely reccommend this house.

Perfect location for our extended family holiday

We have been holidaying as an extended family (grandparents, four families and now 8 grand children) for over 15 years - but had to pause during Covid. This was our first break back together and it was a huge success. The 'children' - now aged 8 to 20 took over the top floor whilst the adults were on the lower floor - including the grandparents in their 80s. What we liked about this property was the living spaces which meant we could all sit together in both the sitting room and the dinning room but there was also space for break away quieter groups in the kitchens and second sitting room. We bought lasagnas for the first night, takeaway for the second and cooked a roast on the third - although this was a bit of a challenge with the aga so took a bit of shuffling but still worked. The location - with walks by the canal and local pub was perfect as we brought two dogs. We also loved being able to get into Oxford easily for trips to the market, sight seeing and museum. Some of us used to live and study in the area so it was great visiting old haunts. We are planning to re-book this property again is we can!

Fantastic for family gatherings

We were a party of 14 ranging from 20 months to 68 years all gathering for a family wedding. The property and grounds are fantastic. Plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms and with the added bonus of travel cot and highchair available. The dining room is impressive and it had a table we could all get round. Just had the best weekend! Only criticism (and it's both minor and hopefully constructive) it needs better mirror facilities for all rooms. Trying to sort your face and hair out using little tiny round mirrors is not ideal! Hardly a deal breaker though as we did all manage

80th birthday weekend

The property was fabulous and suited our needs perfectly. We did find however that 2 of the double beds in the attic rooms were very uncomfortable. The only cooker available was an Aga with an electric option to the side. However, we were unable to get one of the electric ovens to work. Cooking for 20 people was a little bit of a challenge. Perhaps the addition of a coventional oven in the pantry area could be considered. I also found the freezer space limited and would suggest perhaps a chest freezer in the pantry as well. Whilst we managed for a 2 night stay, I think we would have struggled if we had stayed longer. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and as a result spent much of the time in the garden and felt that more outside furniture was required, along with a parasol and perhaps a fire pit as we would have spent longer out there but it did get a bit chilly later on in the evening. That said we had a fabulous weekend, plenty of space for us all and the location was lovely.
