Buscot Manor far exceeded all our expectations and provided the most enchanting getaway imaginable. Nestled perfectly between Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, its location offers the best of both worlds, peaceful countryside charm with a wealth of nearby activities. From wild swimming and boating to National Trust gems and fly fishing at Lechlade Fisheries (just 8 minutes away!), every day was filled with joy, relaxation, and adventure. From the moment we arrived, the magic began. Romney, the host, was warm, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful, offering excellent recommendations for local delis and private chefs. The house itself is a true historic treasure, beautifully and tastefully decorated with elegant touches throughout. Each bedroom featured a romantic four-poster bed, and there were full bowls of fresh fruit, biscuits, and chocolate waiting for us on arrival. The bathrooms were equally stunning, plentiful and luxurious, each featuring a dreamy roll-top bath perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors. The kitchen was spacious and fully equipped, easily accommodating our private chef who created a memorable meal with ease. With 14 of us staying, there was more than enough space to relax, cozying up in the multiple living rooms by a crackling fire, or enjoying breakfast together in the charming garden. Morning wild swims left us refreshed and energized, while peaceful evenings brought laughter, good food, and deep rest. Buscot Manor is not just a place to stay, it's a place to truly be. A sanctuary for the soul, and a beautiful blend of luxury, history, and nature. We would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a special escape, and we’re already planning our return.

This is the second time I have stayed here. Romney, the host, is very responsive and I really felt that we were being well looked after. Some guests had various questions before and during our stay, and she was excellent at responding in a timely manner, even when those queries came very early in the morning when we were there! The rooms are as the photographs; kitchen was well stocked with some wine and fruit plates for our arrival. We had full use of the property, including the annexe, and we were able to comfortably fit 20 people without issue. Everyone who stayed very much appreciated what the property had to offer - the front lawn, back garden, hot tub, outside fire, the karaoke, use of the Aga.... The area is very safe. We left the gate open the whole time, and we could see people walking past to and from the lock. There are some neighbouring properties - we did not disturb them at all, they did not disturb us. The tearoom down the road was also a highlight! Parking also excellent - we fit 8 cars on the gravel, but with careful parking, you can fit 10-12.

I believe that these are things out of the owner's easy control - there are not many plug sockets throughout all of the rooms. This was not an issue as extension leads were available. There are waste bins but they were largely full - I met Romney and we came up with a plan about how we would collect and manage waste.

Just returned from a stay here with 13 other people, for a weekend away. The booking process was very straightforward, and the listing and photographs are accurate. I was sent an email with house instructions and local things to do and local places to eat. The owner provided us with a lot of food on arrival, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked with cutlery/plates/all sorts of baking and cooking paraphernalia. The rooms were very comfortable, and we all slept well. There are three floors - ground floor has a kitchen, dining room, and 3 social spaces. The first floor has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. Each bathroom has a full bath with a shower attachment, toilet and sink. Several of the bedrooms also had sinks. There is also a generous outdoor space, with a barbecue, firepit and hot tub. The owner was very responsive by the booking message system, and was very patient with all my questions. One of our number used an electric wheelchair and for the most part, accessibility was fine.

Due to the number of people, there was no one place we could all comfortably sit and be together (apart from the dining table) but as there was a big group of us, it didn't feel like too much of an issue.

Fantastic space for a group get together. Comfy beds, lovely bathrooms. Beautiful welcome of fruits and pastries. Romney the host is fantastic.

Hot water tan out very quickly and took hours to heat up so for a large group, we couldn’t all wash / bathe each day. The kitchen cupboards are very stiff and get stuck.

Beautiful house, great location, hot tub is a real plus. Aside from a walk to the pub for a pint we stayed in the house all weekend and really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, warm and very memorable.

Cooking facilities were lacking a little - the oven did not seem to work properly, and it was a bit of an issue when trying to cook a roast for a large number.

It’s is a beautiful property and obviously well lived and maintained. When we arrived the host had thoughtfully left us pastries, bread, homemade cakes, fruit, veg, breakfast materials and drinks. It was such a lovely welcome.

It wasn’t abundantly clear at the beginning that at full capacity all the rooms would have a single bed added into them. It worked fine for us as we were a group of friends.

The house is very beautiful and very well equipped. The weir was only a few minutes walk away and was ideal for some wild swimming. The beds were really comfortable. We were surprised to find a spread of welcome treats when we arrived! Communication with Romney was excellent from start to finish.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Loved the house and gardens - stunning. The hot tub was also wonderful And the bathrooms were dreamy

We didn’t quite realise there weren’t any showers. It wasn’t really a problem
