The splendor of this Georgian manor house has earned Grade II* Listed Status, one of England’s highest designations. Built in the 17th century and expertly restored, its pedigree abides in the stately dining room and croquet lawn, while superb modern upgrades include a stylish conference room and Swedish hot tub. Polish your clubs for a round at Cherwell Edge Golf Club, or take a short drive into historic Banbury.

The expansive property welcomes momentous ceremonies and casual frolics on a summer’s day. Take your morning coffee in the courtyard and afternoon tea amid flowering gardens. Watch a croquet game from sun loungers (cocktail in hand), and light the fire pits during nighttime revels.

The owners hired 120 artisans to restore the manor, including its limestone floors, oak paneling, and all 99 windows. With an eye to the contemporary traveler, the dual-purpose conference room transforms into a cinema; the study into a stylish games parlor. The vintage drawing room and dining hall play host to memorable parties and feasts. In homage to the manor’s equestrian pedigree, the bedrooms bear the names of famous racehorses, from Knuckelcracker to Perfect Night.

Beyond the idyllic pleasures of Thorpe Manor, the countryside of Oxfordshire brims with possibilities. Lace up some wellies for a walk abroad, or engage in some hearty, rustic sport, like axe-throwing or archery. Drive into Banbury, Northampton, or Oxford for historic buildings and top-flight pubs.
