Full Description
Chalford Manor in its peaceful Oxfordshire surroundings is the perfect retreat for gathering friends and family from across the country. Tucked away along a quiet country road with your own tennis court and swimming pool, this historic manor is your little secret. A stone’s throw from Oxford and the foot of the Chiltern Hills, this inspirational area is begging to be explored. From walking the glorious countryside, popping to Thame for a meal and to spot the filming locations of Midsomer Murders, and a day out to Warner Bros Studios or Henley Regatta, the list is endless.

Made for spending cherished time together, Chalford Manor is a sublime backdrop. Hire a private chef for decadent meals in the historic dining room, serve drinks poolside, dedicate time to playing garden games with the children and finally get that uninterrupted nights sleep you need. Space for everybody to spread out is provided with a sitting room and drawing room, and you even have a study if you must lock yourself away to finish off that work project. A ground floor bedroom and bathroom suits older guests and the top floor is a hideaway for the children with single bedrooms and a twin room so you can keep an eye on their playful mischief. The spacious master bedroom has stunning garden views and from some rooms you can spot the sheep in the surrounding fields. Antique furniture mixed with works of art, exposed beams and original features work together to add a unique finish to Chalford Manor.

While the interiors of Chalford Manor are beautiful, strolling the garden past sweet wisteria, blooming crocuses and the gentle flow of the passing stream is a magical experience. The swimming pool is tucked away at the back of the house giving it an extra sense of privacy. There is no better place to spend sunny days than with a book by the pool, enjoying a family BBQ or getting your morning laps in. Try your hand at a game of tennis and head out to explore your surroundings on foot, stopping off at the nearby pub on your way home.

Dining Room
Tudor styling with wooden beams, antique furniture, characterful Grandfather clocks and a woodburning stove make the dining room a treasure trove.

Outside


The gardens at Chalford Manor are a secluded paradise. With both a heated swimming pool and a tennis court you can choose a leisurely day or something more active. Stretch out on a lounger beside the pool while the children splash about and fill the air with the delicious smells of a BBQ.

Reviews

What a fantastic place to stay. This house is incredibly beautiful, spacious and well appointed. We came to stay with several family members including our one year old for a family celebration following our wedding. The pool, tennis courts and grounds were amazing and kept us very entertained. Every effort was made to make it easy to have our child there - a brilliant travel cot, high chair, changing mat, books and toys were available. So valuable for us parents! The surroundings are peaceful and picturesque. Our one year old particularly enjoyed the sheep in the neighbouring field running past to get to a new field. We walked to nearby Sydenham for a pub lunch and did lots of lovely countryside walks. We hope to return!

Chalford Manor provided a wonderful place for us to meet up with our extended family. There was plenty of space for our 10-person group to relax both together and separately. Astrid provided great communication before and during our stay and had a gorgeous welcome basket for us when we arrived. The house was also very accommodating for children, with a cot, high chairs, toys, and books. We stayed for a week and could easily have stayed longer!

Location

Chalford Manor is set in rural Oxfordshire, a stone's throw from Oxford and the foot of the Chilterns Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. While you are surrounded by open countryside, it is just a twenty-minute walk to the nearest pub, The Crown Inn at Sydenham and both Chinnor and Thame are under 5 miles away. Thame is a thriving market town which still holds weekly markets and has a theatre and museum so you can fill your day with culture. Slightly further afield, explore the beautiful city of Oxford with its historic university and incredible collection of museums. Punt along the river, go shopping, and dine at one of the fabulous eateries.
