We had a fantastic, memorable family experience here! The session was very well organised and managed, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the animals were all well cared for and loved, and there were lovely extra touches such as the tea and cake, feeding the other animals as well as the alpacas, and the sweet little shop of souvenirs! The booking system was straightforward and effective, with clear information on what to expect and how to come prepared, as well as reminders running up to the event. We would definitely recommend the experience!

This year the house and grounds have been decorated by the National Trust on the theme of a Winter Carnival and it is a really impressive display both within the house and in the grounds with a light show on the stables and also on the house and an "interesting" lighting show in the grounds. A really great day out and the Terrace Cafe is to be recommended

Quainton Windmill

Quainton Windmil is a historic windmill in the village of Quainton, Buckinghamshire. The six-storey brick tower mill was built 1830-32, is one of the most visible buildings in the village.

Reviewed By 923Dan - Swindon, United Kingdom

Stunning 6-storey windmill - the 3rd tallest in the country - currently undergoing top-notch restoration - so missing its sails. Arrived mid-morning during the week not knowing if they were open, but Nick a member of the family (who has owned the windmill since it was built), was happy to give me a full in depth personal tour of the windmill for free! Though i'm hasten to add that they gratefully accept donations to help with its restoration. Whilst it was a long sometimes dirty hot slog to get to the roof, the views from the tail deck were simply stunning on a sunny April morning (yes, a rarity!!!). Nick's knowledge of the history and workings of the mill were excellent. I'll definitely be bring the kids back to visit this relic of a bygone age when wing was used to grind corn! Highly recommended - though do check when they're open.

Orchard View Farm

Orchard View Farm is a working farm with a cafe, farm shop and butchery hidden away in a small hamlet in Little Meadle. About Us... Our farm is family run and staffed by quite the loveliest people we know. Together we are building a ‘home from home’ for family and friends to gather and enjoy our lovingly prepared food, surrounded by the beautiful animals that keep this place running. Our philosophy is simple; we believe that our animals deserve the very best and that our customers deserve exactly the same. That means a great quality of life for our animals and great quality food at great prices for our customers. All of our food is fresh from the farm or selected from fabulous local suppliers, we are open six a days a week, all year long.

Stopped off to visit the farm shop and discovered they also have a cafe. When I say cafe, it is much more than that, as the meat comes from the farm butcher. My daughter had slices of lamb with Greek salad, I had a picnic box with scotch egg, half a homemade sausage roll, home made quiche and some coleslaw and my wife an avocado, bacon and chicken salad. Everything tasted really fresh and the lamb was so tender, having been cooked on the open grill. Really well thought out, too, with the social distancing etc; order and pay via the website, so make sure you have a phone. Couldn’t fault it and we’ll definitely be back...the rib eye steak and wine for £20 really took my eye! Only thing I would suggest, for lunches, are smaller bites like a steak sandwich, bacon and Brie sandwich etc

St Mary the Virgin Church

Reviewed By Betsy95x

Take a moment to look up and take in every aspect of this wonderful church. Everything about it is quintessential English. Enjoy the views and take a moment to read the headstones in the graveyard and wonder about the lives of those buried here. The church is featured in the sitcom 'The Vicar of Dibley.' Well worth a visit.

Went with friends to Claydon House for a day out and it was an unexpected treat, easy parking {free} lovely setting with great views and nice gardens, the whole place seemed calm and restful. We visited the cafe which is open a little before the House etc; it was clean and tidy and well stocked to cater for all. Close by around the courtyard are several artisan outlets to keep the shoppers happy. The house itself on the inside is a real surprise with helpful guides in different locations to answer any questions, some of wood carvings are outstanding, check the chinese room out. There is some restoration ongoing but it will not spoil your visit. The gardens{extra cost} are pleasant to walk around featuring wild and formal settings plus a lovely small Church which was open the day we visited. Well worth a visit.
