We are listed as closed everyday as we are open by appointment only (book a slot via our website).

Come and learn about these wonderfully inquisitive animals and take them for a walk around our 22 acres. Meet our rare breed sheep,pygmy goats, ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs and sample some of Jo's famous homemade cakes! Relaxing, peaceful and true escapism. Please note that as we are not an open farm visits are only by private booking only.
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

Visited o the 19th August 2020 during the current Covid restrictions and thus not all of the site was open but that did not distract form my day. Plenty of parking and the site is well signed inside to comply with Covid regulations and advice. Staff all pleasant and helpful. Entering the building to register I was amazed at what a great display n what is an old station brought on site from Oxford. Superb displays . 9 Good and clean toilets) . The weather was fairly atrocious at times but that did not stop a trip to the Royal mail travelling post office display or the Museum. Then another tea and lunch which was fine from the restricted menu ( again Covid the cause for the restriction) Social distancing rules in place which did make for a rather slow service on the cafe but the food and especially the tea and coffee were fine. Visiting the rets of the site was enjoyable with a goodly number of interesting exhibits. The short train ride was in keeping with the fact it is a rail centre and not a heritage line and ideal may be for those with youngsters having their first steam hauled train ride. Another peculiarity is the fact the site is split in half by The big Railway but two excellent foot bridges allow free passage between the two. Sadly hat appears to be an excellent miniature railway was not open . I should also mention the diligence with which they sanitised the areas for which that w s needed . An excellent day thank you

Stowe House. Discover the hidden secrets inside...If you had power and riches, how would you use them?In the 18th century, the powerful Temple-Grenville family chose to create an idyllic landscape filled with temples. Amidst these enchanting gardens, they built the most lavish temple of all, Stowe House. This temple was so grand that even Queen Victoria was bewildered by its interiors. Filled with astonishing rooms imitating ancient worlds and classical ruins, the House reflects the flamboyant and colourful characters of its creators. Ceilings and walls decorated with hidden messages and mythology hint at the family’s former power and glory. But wealth and power do not last forever. Excessive spending led to bankruptcy. Extravagant parties, royal visits and Italian Grand Tours gave way to scandal, intrigue and eventually abandonment. The richest family in England became the greatest debtors in the world.
My wife, son and I have visited the National Trust Gardens at Stowe before, although we did stroll round them again on this sunny Sunday afternoon (also recommended). snowdrops look lovely today. We had not viisted the house before, which is owned and used by the school, but is open for public tours on some weekends (admission £5 for most, best to pre-book). Our guidetook us on an hour's tour (the longer one leaving on the half hour) around the main staterooms, the library and staircases. He was a good communicator, knew his facts and told us about the history of the property and its owners with some amusing interludes. Recommended. Also good is the museum that you can visit before or after the tour.

'Extreme' route at Go Ape Wendover Woods. A first for Go Ape, a scrambling net and climbing wall just to reach our most adventurous crossings. Will you take on the challenge? Set high up on the Northern crest of the Chilterns, at Go Ape Wendover Woods you can enjoy the spectacular and idyllic views and wild landscape across Aylesbury Vale from high up in the trees. With a smattering of tree-top high wires, high ropes crossings and a wind-in-your-face zip wire, you'll want to swing by this Tree Top Adventure in Buckinghamshire. And if you're looking for activities and things to do near Oxford, Go Ape really is just a stones throw away.

Second time with Spy Games! As usual I can't thank enough Ed for his patience...you would assume adults can use calendar but apparently not! Amount of people saying daily that they can or cannot attend was amazing so it was quite a challenge to wrap it all up! This year it was even more challenging than last year - last year we went to Spy Games site in MK and it was simply amazing - lots of space and fresh air! This year we decided to celebrate opening new office and host Spy Games here, so all the activities were inside of the building. I was kinda curious how they will manage with limited space but that was really awesome! I also asked them to pick up activities for us and divide us for teams. They used all the available space in very effective way and made all the experience unforgettable. We also had BBQ outside of the office building arranged by Spy Games and they were fully prepared - had own gazebo and accommodate our all requests (few halal meals, few vegetarians and few gluten free). Was delicious! Once again I would like to thank Ed, James, Gareth and the team for all their hard work! Everyone was really enjoying their time and I just can't recommend Spy Games enough!
