About this property

Baldon House is the centre portion of a beautiful 18th Century Manor house (there is an East Wing and West Wing that are separate households). Set on the edge of the popular village of Marsh Baldon, six miles south of the historic university city of Oxford, the house is full of character and provides a wonderful holiday for the whole family. Surrounded by beautiful countryside full of walks and cosy pubs, it is the perfect getaway for peace and quiet. The seven bedroom house, that sleeps 12, blends both grandeur and charm, and has many period features such as high ceilings, marble fireplaces and parquet floors.

The bedrooms include: a luxurious Georgian master suite enjoying views across the countryside, with an emperor bed, large dressing room, stunning new bathroom with role top bath; a beautiful twin Georgian bedroom enjoying the same spectacular view with en-suite bathroom and walk in closet; a super-king (or 2 twins) en-suite bedroom with walk-in closet, enjoying views over the front courtyard, and church spire; a further double bedroom and two single bedrooms; three further bathrooms and a cloak room.

On the ground floor is a large, open-plan kitchen with breakfast room (stocked with everything you need including a nespresso machine for the perfect cappuccino), a well-appointed Georgian living room, and a beautiful historic panelled dining room seating 16.

Year-round, the house offers a wonderful combination of activities and relaxation. Eat al fresco on the South Lawn in the summer sun, enjoy eggs from the chickens and our own Baldon House pork and lamb. Have a go at croquet, treat the children to a pony ride or our very own on property Farm School, unwind by hitting golf balls on the lawn, or schedule a afternoon of clay pigeon shooting. In the autumn, warm yourself by the Aga after a brisk walk through the woods. Curl up with a good book by the fire in the winter and in the spring, watch the lambs in the fields or try your hand at shearing! Whatever your age or energy level, there is something for everyone.

Please ask for price quote for any other length of stay.

Lovely country home

Had a lovely two week stay at Baldon House - the house is beautiful and spacious and well maintained and the grounds are gorgeous and green. This property manager and owner were both hugely kind and responsive whenever we had queries.

Baldon House

Baldon House is a spectacular property that was more than we hoped for. We are a family of 8 adults and one 2 year old. The living spaces, bedrooms, and kitchen are fabulous. We did not want to leave. If we ever go back to this part of England we will stay here in a heartbeat.

A beautiful great house!

We had a fantastic few days at Baldon House in May 19. The property is huge and perfect for our group of couples and children. The formal dining room is amazing and was a fantastic location for our birthday celebration. The house is well stocked and had everything we needed. A couple of issues with confirming check in details and the 10:00 check out felt a bit early but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay at Baldon House.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Young

This is our family home where my siblings and I grew up. My parents now spend most of their time in the US which is why we decided to start renting. I live in a cottage on the estate with my family and will be on hand to answer any questions during your stay. We hope you and your family have a wonderful time and enjoy the house as much as we have done!
