Everything you need to know about rooms, dining, and our evening gaming lounge before you plan your visit to our Oxford countryside manor.
Check-in begins at 3pm and our dining room welcomes guests from 6:30pm to 10pm nightly. The private gaming lounge opens each evening once dinner service is underway, typically from 8pm, and remains open until midnight for resident and dining guests.
Yes, we recommend reserving both accommodation and dinner tables ahead of your visit, particularly on weekends. You can book directly by phone or through our reservations desk. Same-day availability is sometimes possible but cannot be assured given our limited number of rooms.
We ask guests to dress smartly for dinner — jackets are encouraged for gentlemen, though not obligatory. The gaming lounge maintains the same refined standard in the evening, as it shares the manor's country-house atmosphere throughout.
Yes, Marlow Fen Stay welcomes small private gatherings, celebrations, and corporate retreats. Our team can arrange exclusive use of the dining room or gaming lounge for groups, with menus and evening arrangements discussed in advance with our events coordinator.
Complimentary parking is available for all overnight guests and dinner reservations within the manor grounds. Our grounds team can direct you upon arrival, and additional space is available for guests attending private events.
We accept all major cards as well as cash for rooms, dining, and any on-site services. Payment for accommodation is typically settled at check-out, while dinner and gaming lounge visits are billed separately at the end of the evening.
The lounge is available to dining and overnight guests without a separate reservation, though advance notice is appreciated on busy evenings to ensure table space. It operates as an in-person amenity of the manor, open only during scheduled evening hours.
Yes, entry to the on-site gaming lounge is restricted to guests aged 18 and over, in line with UK licensing requirements. Valid identification may be requested at the door before entering the lounge in the evening.
Our manor sits in quiet countryside just outside Oxford, a short drive from the city centre. We're happy to advise on directions or arrange local transport for guests arriving by train or from the airport.
