Everything You Need to Know About Soho Farmhouse

What is Soho Farmhouse?

what is soho farmhouse

Soho Farmhouse is an exclusive members’ club and hotel set across 100 acres of Oxfordshire countryside.

Opened in 2015, it’s one of the most distinctive spots in the Soho House collection — designed to be more than just a stylish place to stay.

Think: rustic charm meets Soho House sophistication.

It’s part country retreat, part wellness getaway, part social hub — with cosy cabins and design-led cottages.

Whether you’re heading there to switch off, hike with the family, tuck into great food, or dance the night away, it really can be whatever you need it to be.

Expect amenities like a dreamy indoor-outdoor pool, a full-service spa, a solid gym, and plenty of little touches that make a weekend here feel like something special.

Every corner of the property is built with intention — which is probably why it’s carved out such a loyal following among members looking for something a bit different from the city Houses.


What to Expect at Soho Farmhouse: A Closer Look

what to expect at soho farmhouse

If you’re wondering what Soho Farmhouse is really like, picture countryside luxury, rustic details, and peaceful pockets of green space where everything moves just a little slower.

From cosy interiors to wellness facilities and seasonal food, everything here is designed to make you feel looked after — without ever feeling overdone.

Here’s a closer look at what to expect when you visit.

Aesthetic and Art

Soho House is known for its signature style — and Soho Farmhouse is no exception.

Think rustic chic done right: a blend of English countryside character and modern, lived-in luxury.

Expect mismatched vintage furniture, exposed beams, weathered wood floors, and stone fireplaces that make every space feel intentionally relaxed.

There’s also a curated art collection throughout the property, including original pieces by names like Damien Hirst and Harland Miller, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Cosy Bedrooms and Cabins

You’ll find everything from spacious four-bedroom farmhouses and cosy cottages to one-, two-, and three-bed cabins tucked away in the trees.

Most cabins come with a log burner for slow evenings in, and bikes parked outside so you can explore the grounds or cycle through the countryside at your own pace.

No matter where you stay, you’ll get a sense of space and privacy — perfect for switching off.

Wellness Facilities

In true Soho House fashion, there’s no shortage of things to do at Farmhouse.

If you’re into the outdoors, you can go horse riding, paddle out on the lake, or just take in the views on a long countryside walk.

Prefer to stay indoors? There are cosy cinema screenings, cooking classes, creative workshops — and plenty of reasons to keep your slippers on.

You’ll also find live music, themed events, and the occasional late-night party, depending on when you visit.

P.S. You’ll get an email before your stay with the option to book activities or dining — definitely worth doing in advance if you’re visiting on a busy weekend.

Exclusive Activities and Events

Wellness is a big part of the experience at Soho Farmhouse.

The on-site Cowshed Spa offers a full menu of treatments — from deep tissue massages to facials using their own product line — all in a cosy, country-chic setting.

There’s also a large indoor-outdoor heated pool, a steam room, sauna, and a well-equipped gym if you’re keeping up your routine.

Whether you’re booking in for a spa day or just sneaking in a slow morning by the pool, it’s the kind of place that makes it easy to fully unwind.

Excellent Dining Experiences

Food is a big part of the experience at Soho Farmhouse, with five on-site restaurants and plenty of seasonal produce coming straight from the garden.

The Main Barn is the heart of the property — serving up classic British dishes made with local ingredients. For something a little different, Pen Yen is a go-to for Japanese-inspired small plates, cooked over a robata grill and best shared.

Craving comfort food? Head to Hay Barn for wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas, and easygoing vibes.

There’s also The Little Bell, known for its nose-to-tail cooking and natural wines, and Blake’s Kitchen Bakery, where you’ll find excellent bread, sausage rolls, and cinnamon buns worth waking up early for.

If you ask me — yes, it’s worth it.

Soho Farmhouse offers a standout countryside experience, especially if you’re after something that feels both relaxed and elevated.

The cabins are beautifully designed, the wellness facilities are top-tier, and the food options are genuinely impressive — whether you’re after a laid-back brunch or Japanese small plates by the fire.
