Before we talk travel, let’s explore why everyone’s raving about this country-estate gem.

Nestled amidst rolling Cotswold hills, Estelle Manor blends centuries-old character with modern creature comforts. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, you’ll discover new delights at every turn:

• Michelin-Star Dining: Every meal celebrates local, seasonal produce. Our favourite dish? The truffle-pearl pasta that’s worth every bite.
• Historic Charm with Modern Ease: Imagine oak-beam lounges and roaring fireplaces – yet discreet USB ports on every table.
• Secret Garden & Labyrinth: Lose yourself (literally) in winding paths and hidden courtyards. Perfect for a reflective stroll or your next Instagram post.
• Wellness Retreat: From cedar-wood saunas to sunrise yoga on the terrace, it’s impossible not to unwind.

Let’s take a look at the most common ways to reach this Cotswold gem, so you can choose the option that suits your mood, style and budget.

Before you pack your suitcase, here’s the lowdown: take the train from London Paddington to Hanborough or Oxford Parkway—both journeys clock in at just over an hour. From there, it’s a 15–20 minute taxi along country lanes to the manor.

• Pros: Budget-friendly ticket prices; scenic rail ride.
• Cons: Juggling luggage through stations; timetables that don’t bend to your schedule; waiting for a taxi on a sleepy country stretch.

If you’re longing for freedom behind the wheel, head out on the M40 → A44, then A4095 to the estate. You’ll cover roughly 70 miles in about 1 h 45 min (barring traffic).

• Pros: Stop wherever you fancy—maybe a roadside tea shop or that charming Cotswold village.
• Cons: Fuel costs, unexpected pit stops, and while Estelle Manor offers free parking, navigating narrow lanes in the dark can be…adventurous.

 Apps promise convenience, but rural routes aren’t always their strong suit. You’ll follow the same roads as self-drivers, yet surge pricing can inflate your fare by 20 – 50 %.

• Pros: No advance booking needed – just tap and wait.
• Cons: Unpredictable arrival times; spotty rural coverage; and the stress of roadside pickups at dusk.

For a truly dramatic entrance, you could arrange a private helicopter transfer into Estelle Manor’s landing pad. Oxford Airport is just 15 minutes away by road; contact the team at Estelle Manor in advance to secure your sky-high arrival.

Obviously we’re biased, but when it comes to convenience, comfort and confidently arriving in style, nothing beats a dedicated chauffeur. 

Door-to-Door Convenience: Your chauffeur arrives at your specified London address; you step into the car, and an hour and three-quarters later you’re on the manor lawn – no station runs, no luggage hassles.

• Executive Comfort: Leather seats, climate-control, complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water (and a chilled towel if you fancy).
• Fixed-Fare Peace of Mind: From £180 all-in, with no surge pricing, no hidden fees, and a one-hour grace period if your flight or train is delayed.
• Professional Expertise: Our chauffeurs know every back road and country lane, ensuring the smoothest route – even when GPS is puzzled.
• Sustainable Option: Choose our Mercedes EQS electric for a zero-emissions journey without compromising on luxury.

Arriving should feel as indulgent as your stay – here’s how we make that happen.

Once you confirm your booking, your personal chauffeur:

• Arrives at Your Doorstep: No station runs, no curb-hailing – just step outside and climb in.
• Ensures Executive Comfort: Leather seats, climate-control, complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water, and a chilled towel if you fancy.
• Keeps Our Punctuality Promise: We’ll wait up to 1 hour at no extra cost if your flight or train is delayed – after that, a small fee per 15 minutes applies.

One size doesn’t fit all – select the ride that suits your style and party size.

• Mercedes S-Class: The business class of the back seat – ideal for solo travellers or discreet meetings en route.
• Mercedes V-Class: Spacious and sociable – room for up to seven guests plus ample luggage.
• Mercedes EQS (Electric): A whisper-quiet, zero-emissions marvel for those who travel green in glamorous comfort.
