Stable Cottage at Manor Farm - Self-catering house in Oxfordshire
Manor Farm, Claydon, OX17 1EN, Oxfordshire
England,
Royaume-Uni
Drive down a tiny lane, past a lake and then the village church, and you’ll find The Stable in the grounds of Caroline and Dan’s Queen Anne House. If they’re not in their house in France they’ll be on hand to greet you with their two dogs and show you around, and will leave a welcome pack that always includes a bottle of wine.
Flop down on comfy sofas by the fire in the sitting room and read up on English Civil War history, or sit out on your private terrace looking out at the manor house and landscaped lawns. From the orchard, there are fabulous views of the Cherwell Valley in which you can join many circular walks.
There’s a feeling of peace here, but not complete isolation: the nearest pub and shop is a pleasant 45-minute stroll, and there are plenty of other pubs within three miles. Banbury is 15-20 minutes’ drive away, Stratford-upon-Avon is 45 minutes.

Local points of interest from Caroline Whitehead:

Caroline Whitehead:
- Stable cottage, newly converted on one floor, is next door to a Manor house at the edge of the village. There are many historic landmarks especially those associated with the Civil War from Edge Hill to Cropredy Bridge. National Trust houses abound.
- Only 7 miles from Banbury and its twice-weekly market. Golf courses within 10 mins of the house, coarse fishing and rolling farmland for walking dogs and hiking. Bicester village is 30 mins. by car and Fairport Convention in August, in the next village.
- Amongst the many local pubs in the area, The Kitchen at Farnborough, just over a mile away is excellent and is easily walkable. They take dogs in the bar. A list is left in a folder in the house. Local takeaways include Indian, Chinese and Pizza.
- Banbury has an indoor pool at the Spiceball centre and another outdoor one for the summer. There is an excellent farm shop at Wickham Park Farm with its own meat and deli and another at Edge Hill, apart from all the major supermarkets including Waitrose!
- Chiltern Railways service from Marylebone to Banbury is less than an hour with plenty of taxis. The cottage is 15 mins. from the station with parking for the early birds. Easy to commute if work demands.
- Stratford and its theatres, Leamington Spa and Warwick with its famous castle make a wonderful day out for adults and children alike are only 30 mins. by car and Silverstone about the same.
