Out of town
Estelle Manor
Country club and hotel
About
Estelle Manor is the country end of Estelle: a Grade II-listed house at Eynsham Park, on 85 acres with 3,000 acres of parkland around it. It is a hotel and a club at once, with 108 rooms, four restaurants, a gym and studio, two padel courts, a workspace and a kids' club.
The reason people join is Eynsham Baths: 3,000 square metres of spa after a Roman bath house, with a tepidarium hall, five pools and ten treatment rooms. Members may use its thermal circuit every day.
What sets it apart
- A weekend place: the only way to use it from London is to make a day or a night of it
- A spa of a size no club in town has: Eynsham Baths on the membership, a three-hour session a day, booked ahead
- Made for families: The Nook takes children of 3 to 8 for two hours a day, included
- Anyone can book a room, so a stay is the trial
- The country end of a set: the Estelle membership adds Maison Estelle and Celeste in London
