Charney Manor

My wife and I came here for a bit of quiet time and to enjoy the local area. The house and gardens are charming and the countryside lovely. I enjoyed using the library and the lounge. The bedroom was comfortable with good shower and bath facilities as well as a TV. We found the staff friendly and helpful. There is a good continental breakfast and it was no problem to make our own arrangements for the rest of the day. In view of the location and facilities we thought the cost was very reasonable. We would happily return.

On checking in after a long day driving, I asked what time the restaurant closed and was informed there were no on site facilities. Only continental breakfast was available. The room was upstairs in an out building smelt damp and foisty as did the corridor. The room had a 6ft single bed pushed against two walls, not facing the tiny tv. The furniture was cheap and tacky and the bed was so uncomfortable, certainly past its sell by date and squeaked every time you moved. The window was the original metal frame which I understand due to listing regulations but no secondary glazing. The bathroom what a joke, small, smelly, dated with the the obligatory brown stain in the toilet basin. I don’t think the taps come under listing regs, please change them? Forget having a shower if you’re not a child as you will touch each wall simultaneously and the yellow controllers were off putting. Saving the best for last the stench in the bathroom and bedroom is unbearable when you flush the toilet. I can honestly say I did not sleep and felt totally miserable after a truly awful experience and then having a 6 hour trip home, which was very dangerous. I wouldn’t wish my room and stay on my worst enemy.

A beautiful Grade 1 manor in a beautiful setting. Our room in the main Manor House was splendid. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. A good location for Oxfordshire. Very peaceful and charming. Clean and well set out. Continental breakfast was lovely too. Well recommend

Lovely location. Room was good very comfortable. Only fault was the Wi Fi rubbish quite frustrating for Business people having to work Would be beneficial if they sold some light snacks not just drinks as no restaurant in the evenings. Overall stay great

I undertook a retreat type thing at this Manor House. The rooms are quirky if you like that kind of thing. However, the food was absolutely awful!! Poorly thought out and poorly made. Tasteless and watery. The breakfast is exactly the same which is tedious for a 7 day stay. I had dietary requirements and they catered to them poorly. I woukd never stay here again. !!!!

We found Chaney Manor really lovely, a house and garden with character, a real gem.The staff are friendly and helpful and our room was very clean and comfortable.The breakfast was exceptional with plenty of choice and all delicious and fresh. We hope to return.

We have just organised a happy and successful retreat at Charney Manor. The beauty of this historic building and its gardens, the excellent comfortable accommodation and facilities, the amazingly varied and imaginative food (all vegetarian in this case), and the attention given by the staff to our every need, were outstanding. We would thoroughly recommend it to organisers of this kind of event. The only negative – a very poor mobile phone signal.

We hired the entire venue for a long weekend for a group of 25. The process from start to finish was seamless and brilliant. The staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms and facilities were perfect. The grounds are picturesque. Thank you everyone at Charney Manor for an amazing experience. Hope to visit again soon.

We had an overnight stay at Charney Manor after visiting Blenheim Palace with family. We were shown to our rooms which were in the main building. Both rooms were adequate for our needs, plenty of space with a good choice of tea and coffee. The rooms were nice and dark with minimal noise to disturb our slumbers. Within the building there is an area for socialising and a small library. Continental breakfast was self service with a good choice of cereals, fruit and yogurt, eggs were available to boil in addition to bread, cold meats, cheese and croissants. A separate counter area was available for people who required gluten free breakfast with their own toaster clearly labelled for gluten free bread only. Although not a problem our only negative was that the shower was small but this wasn’t an issue for us. Would I stay at Charney Manor again - yes, and would have no hesitation recommending it to others.
