Mr Wolfe’s review of Estelle Manor
- Privately owned
- Historic building
- Beautiful location
- Superb service
- Excellent beds
- Within 90 minutes of London
An Instagram hotel, and a very accomplished one. Estelle Manor makes up for a certain lack of soul with ample photo opportunities: the Roman bathhouse, the library, the vaulted dining room, every corner lit as though a photographer were expected at any moment. One usually is.
What it does have, beyond argument, is amazing beds. I slept better here than in almost any country house in England, which rather forgave the influencers in the corridor. Go for the Eynsham Baths. Stay for the mattress.
