Things to Do
Things to Do
Daylesford Organic Shop with its new restaurant, spa, yoga classes and delicious food to buy is a personal favourite.
Soho Farmhouse is a 15 minute drive away and has many restaurant and family activities.
The Chequers in Churchill comes highly recommended and is the walking distance from the house casual but delicious food. The Wild Rabbit Pub in Daylesford and the Plough are both excellent pubs in nearby Kingham 5 minute drive, these are both considered more fine dining.
Churchill Manor is also 7 minutes away from the King’s Head in Bledington, voted the ‘best pub of the year’ by the Telegraph.
