There are many reasons for coming to stay at Stapleton’s Chantry and Chantry Cottage – Weddings, Birthday Celebrations, Henley Royal Regatta, Family Visits and Reunions, Christenings, a booking at Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons or another of our excellent local Pubs and Restaurants, a mini-break out of London, Oxford University’s many Historic and beautiful Colleges and Gardens, a visit to Blenheim Palace, a concert at Dorchester Abbey and many more…..you won’t be disappointed if you choose to stay with us at Stapleton’s Chantry.

We will make you very welcome, and very comfortable. We will try to fit round your special requirements, your arrival and departure times, book you a taxi, book you a restaurant table, recommend things to do and see, find you a babysitter for the evening, help you choose a local hairdresser, put extra beds in your room for your children, be extra flexible so that your stay goes smoothly.

We are delighted when guests spend time in our very lovely garden, open under the National Gardens Scheme 2008, when your children enjoy the ducks and chickens, when you sit outside on a warm summer’s evening relaxing with a glass of wine, or wander down to our lovely pub, The Bear Inn, and enjoy good cooking, great beer choices and excellent wines.

We welcome walkers – we’ll dry your boots and wet weather gear overnight for you after you’ve walked the Thames Path or Ridgeway, cyclists – we’ll lock your bikes up securely in our outbuildings when you choose to stop here on the Oxfordshire Cycleway, rowers – your boat trailer can usually be fitted onto our drive and we even have an Ergo you could use. Riding long distance along The Ridgeway? – ask if we could put your horses up overnight in our paddock – for longer stays we may be able to make one of our stables available.
