About The Manor Wychwood

The Manor Wychwood is a gorgeous Cotswold holiday home. Surrounded by three acres of private parkland and with space for 24 people to sleep in 10 sumptuous bedrooms, it is ideal for your annual holiday with extended family, stag and hen weekends, or celebrating milestone occasions.

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Fordwells in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), The Manor Wychwood is in the perfect location for groups who appreciate space and privacy. However, the house is not isolated, being only a short drive from the bustling village of Witney where there is an excellent choice of welcoming pubs, shops, cafes, supermarkets and other useful amenities. It is easy to see why Witney was once voted the best places to live in Britain as you stroll past the pretty market square with its traditional Buttercross.

The Cotswolds have some of the best rural views in England and exploring the area is a joy in every season. In addition to green swathes of beautiful countryside laced with lanes, footpaths and bridleways along which to walk or cycle, there are pretty chocolate-box villages like nearby Minster Lovell where many of the cottages retain their traditional thatched roofs. On the other end of the scale are places like Woodstock with a wide choice of great independent places to eat, drink and shop. Blenheim Palace is only a 20-minute drive from The Manor Wychwood, with its magnificent house and grounds that never fail to amaze with their opulence and beauty, while the shops, museums and ancient spires of Oxford are not much further. There are multiple golf courses in the area, as well as opportunities to sail and horse ride.

Cotswold attractions close to The Manor Wychwood include The Cotswold Wildlife Park, Cogges Manor Farm, Chedworth Manor and the only crocodile zoo in the UK, Crocodiles of the World. There is plenty of space at the house for guests to arrange on-site activities that can include everything from pottery workshops to pampering spa days, including cooking classes and dance workshops. The owners of The Manor Wychwood can provide details of local businesses for catering, bike hire and party planning to help ensure that planning your perfect holiday is fun and stress-free.

The Manor Wychwood is managed as part of the fantastic Cotswold Manor Estate so you can trust that the standard of accommodation is of the highest quality with plenty of extras to ensure guests immediately feel welcome. Please see the owner’s website for more information.
