Swiss Farm

Oxon, Oxfordshire, England

1 acre hosted by Swiss F.

Fun for kids (swimming pool, indoor games, play area, rabbits, fishing lake and loads of space) all an oar’s length from Henley-on-Thames

At first glance, Swiss Farm seems worryingly commercial and a little too large-scale to feature in our book. But first impressions can be deceptive, and once you’ve spied the spacious adventure playground, the outdoor swimming pool and the still waters of the willow-fringed fishing lake, your reservations will soon evaporate. Just outside the quintessentially English town of Henley-on-Thames, this site is a great place to stay during the festivities of the summer’s Royal Regatta, an annual event launched way back in 1839. In those days it was all about the rowing races, watched by moustachioed, straw-boaterwearing Victorian gents, who stood on the river banks clapping genteelly. Nowadays the crowd is quite a bit more raucous and the races seem to play second fiddle to days of riverside fun and frolics in the sun. At quieter times of the year, Swiss Farm is simply a great place to come and relax by the lake, a base from which to explore Oxfordshire’s countryside, hills and interesting towns. And in the evenings it’s a place to enjoy family BBQs in the dusky evening glow.

Nearby attractions

Odds Farm Park (01628 520188) is a 25-minute drive away, offering a fantastic family day of farmyard fun. There’s hands-on bottle-feeding lambs, sheep-shearing and milking demonstrations, mini-golf and go-karting, so there’s no room whatsoever for boredom.

Food and drink

Grab some of the fantastic meat available at Gabriel Machin butchers (Market Place; 01491 574377) for a smokin’ BBQ back at the site. This quality butcher has been around since 1910 and can boast of supplying meat to the likes of Antony Worrall Thompson, so all you have to do is buy a disposable BBQ from Swiss Farm’s reception and ready, steady cook!
