We're so glad you enjoyed you stay at Manor House! Thank you for a lovely review. We would love to welcome you back soon. Best Wishes, Emily - Worton Park Holiday Lets
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!
The property was even bigger than expected. It was so lovely, lots of space and warm. It is really well located for people travelling from different places (in particular London).
Huge property with plenty of space for all of your needs, wonderful garden and outside space. Kitchen easy to cater for large numbers, cosy, clean and well provisioned. All members of our group commented on what a good find the house was.
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!
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!!
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!
The house was beautiful. It was massive and there were plenty of rooms. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates and glasses. Distance from Oxford town was great. Would highly recommend. Thank you for a great stay.
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!
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.
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.

We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic weekend at the Manor House. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely 5 star review. We'd love to welcome you back again!
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.
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!

Hi Emily,
Thank you for your lovely review - we're delighted you had a great time and the house was perfect for your needs. To help us improve we'd love to know what we could implement to get the full 5 stars - feel free to drop us a message with any comments.
Best wishes,

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
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.

Dear Dawn,
Thank you for your fab review! We're so pleased you loved the house and location. It was lovely hosting you and we hope to welcome you and group back again soon.

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.

Hi Tandy,
Thank you for your lovely review and we're so glad you had a fantastic weekend!
Best Wishes,

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.

Thank you for your lovely 5* star review and taking them time to leave feedback.
We're sorry that you felt you had to go out and buy items - we do supply a few complimentary dishwasher tablets to use with the dishwasher.
We're also surprised to hear the lighting was poor in the kitchen as there are spotlights, but we will make sure our maintenance team looks in to this further, thank you for bringing it to our attention.
We hope you had a fantastic weekend and would love to welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Worton Park Holiday Lets
