Cotswolds
The Bull - Charlbury
The Bull, Charlbury — Our favorite countryside inn and restaurant, nestled in the charming village of Charlbury about 45 minutes away from the Manor. The Bull is everything you imagine an English countryside escape to be — cozy, historic, and effortlessly beautiful. Think warm stone walls, roaring fireplaces, garden dining, and a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. Whether you stop in for a long lunch, sunset drinks, or a cozy dinner, it’s the perfect place to slow down and soak in the charm of the Cotswolds. A truly special spot we love and highly recommend.
Daylesford Organic
Daylesford Organic Farm — A beautiful countryside destination and one of our favorite places in the Cotswolds. Daylesford is known for its charming farm shop, incredible café, seasonal gardens, and peaceful setting. It’s the perfect spot for a slow morning or afternoon — enjoy fresh organic food, coffee, pastries, and locally made goods, or wander the grounds and soak in the countryside. There is also a lovely spa if you’re in the mood to fully relax. Effortlessly chic, calm, and very Cotswolds.
Soho Farmhouse
Soho Farmhouse — For those looking to extend their countryside experience, Soho Farmhouse is a beautiful place to stay before or after our celebration.

It’s the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and enjoy a little extra time in the English countryside.

Estelle Manor — For those wishing to continue their countryside escape after the wedding festivities, Estelle Manor is a beautifully refined and luxurious retreat set in the Oxfordshire countryside. Known for its timeless elegance, grand estate setting, exceptional dining, and world-class spa, it offers a more elevated and indulgent experience.
