Host Margaret McSweeney takes us to the Oxfordshire countryside to Estelle Manor, one of the “hottest” destinations in England.

Originally built in 1780 in Georgian style and rebuilt in 1908 in Jacobean style, Estelle Manor sits on 85 acres and is surrounded by 3,000 acres of parklands and gardens. In 2023, Ennismore opened this beautiful property as a private club and hotel.

Here’s a peak at the video:

The kitchen gardens provide a bountiful and beautiful harvest of greens for the salads at the Glass House, one of the hotel’s restaurants. Margaret enjoyed chatting with one of the chefs who was collecting the day’s harvest from the gardener.

The Potting Shed is the perfect place for a morning latte and pastries amongst the lush plants throughout the interior.

Margaret’s friend May and her dogs, Lulu and George joined her for this stay.

They enjoyed a delicious lunch in the private library and dinner at Brasserie.

Margaret especially enjoyed booking the Thermal Journey at the Eynsham Baths, an oasis of relaxation at Estelle Manor. This experience included exclusive access to the Tea Lounge where a tea master prepared a special blend for her. She purchased some tea to continue her wellness journey in Chicago.
