RELAXING
The Emphasis at Buscot Manor is on Rest and Rexation and your enjoyment is our ambition.
The Thames Path is just a short walk up the lane from Buscot Manor, with its wonderful picturesque River Trails to suit all abilities, with maps to lend. Buscot Lock also has a National Trust picnic Site, where you can enjoy watching the river boats pass, or even join a cruise at nearby Lechlade ! We can securely stow Canoes/Kayaks/Bicycles as well as drying your boots and outdoor clothing. You can even bring your own horses/pony should you wish as well as the family dog! Golf, Shooting, Trout fishing, Coarse Fishing and leisure facilities – swimming, sauna etc are all within a 5 mile radius.
At certain times of the year we will be having specialist weekends such as pamper weekends with a resident masseuse able to offer a full range of treatments to the other extreme of demonstrations and classes on Antique Furniture Restoration from the Buscot Manor Barn in the Grounds of Buscot Manor with additional local arts/crafts on offer.
