A Georgian house, its gardens, Temple Island and a riverside marquee, all yours for the day. Exclusive use in the Oxfordshire countryside.
Ardington House was built between 1719 and 1721 and has been home to the Baring family since 1939. We offer the whole estate for exclusive use: the House itself, the walled gardens and parkland, the riverside marquee and Temple Island.
Couples marry here, companies retreat here, families gather here for a weekend, and film crews borrow the rooms and grounds for the screen. The House has won awards as a wedding venue, and we are as proud of the quiet weekends as of the grand occasions.
The riverside marquee looks out across the water and seats up to 200 guests. Up to twelve bedrooms in the House sleep up to 25 for those who wish to stay.
Your private stately home
Ardington sits at the foot of the North Wessex Downs, a National Landscape, in a village of thatched cottages, a church and a pub. Central London is 75 minutes away, Heathrow 70 minutes and Oxford half an hour. Once you arrive, the outside world falls away.

"Ardington House is absolutely stunning. The house, the gardens, the setting – it’s all breathtaking. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and special the venue was. It felt like the most magical place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives." - Charlotte & Jake
