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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Olivia’s 40th birthday celebration!

The property was perfect - the theme was a murder mystery event, and the numerous rooms and character of the building contributed to the ambience. Good walks locally, a couple of good pubs within walking distance, and a Nepalese restaurant in the locality that provided a superb banquet.

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.

Great house, perfect for a group

We had a lovely weekend in the house - we were a group of old university friends who had left spouses and children at home for a reunion. It was really helpful that so many rooms could have single beds and the house was perfect for our needs. Great sitting room with the 3 sided sofa and log burner and it was fantastic that we could all easily fit around the dining table. Lovely frosty walk by the canal and a nice pub lunch and we were very happy!

Beautiful, peaceful canal side location

The property is huge, plenty of space for our group of 13, including a lovely garden with a separate private closed in area.. The Size of the dining area was particularly appreciated for large groups and game playing. The location is perfect, two very good pubs very close by, the local cafe is super especially for breakfast sandwiches and cake, and some pretty country / canal side walks. A couple of minor glitches with hot water on one floor but overall everything is in great condition and very comfortable.

Weekend girls trip

We had a fabulous weekend in the house celebrating a friend. The house easily fit 17 of us, we had a yoga session and a private chef visit us in the house and there was sufficient space and crockery for both. The only down side was we couldn’t get the dishwasher to clean the dishes properly, so we had to do a lot of hand washing. If that were fixed, I would definitely go back to this property. The location and house were ideal

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.
