Ennismore founder to open Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire

The founder of Ennismore, Sharan Pasricha, is to open hotel and private members' club Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire this spring.

It is understood that the property, formerly known as Eynsham Hall country house hotel, was purchased by Ennismore, the owner of Gleneagles in Auchterarder and the Hoxton hotel brand, in 2018.

Estelle Manor and its “sister property” Maison Estelle in London’s Mayfair have both been launched by Pasricha but are run separately from the Ennismore business.

The Grade II-listed Oxfordshire house for Pasricha's latest venture resides in a 60-acre estate that is surrounded by 3,000 acres of parkland.

It will feature 108 bedrooms across the manor house, walled garden, and stables, each with vintage furnishings and warm lighting.

At least three private houses and woodland cottages are also due to be added to the hotel and private country club.

It will also feature four restaurants: a brasserie, an all-day dining space, a traditional Chinese restaurant and a wood-fired diner.

The south terrace will house a 25-metre swimming pool, sunbeds and a bar, while the clubhouse will include a gym, workspace, kids’ club and retail space with a George Northwood hair salon.

In addition, the Eynsham baths will offer a Roman-inspired 3,000 sq m spa with a tepidarium, five pools, a lounge, ten treatment rooms and a bar.
