Our approach to accessibility is guided by the Social Model of Disability, and we are committed to removing environmental barriers wherever possible. However, our venue is a historic Grade II listed building, which places strict legal and structural constraints on the modifications we can make to the space. Because accessibility is highly individual and our building does have physical limitations, the most effective way we can support your visit is by speaking with you beforehand so we can honestly discuss your specific requirements, advise you on the layout, and give you a realistic assessment of what is possible.

Meeting room privacy: Whether you book a single room for a two-hour strategy session or multiple rooms for a full day, your dedicated meeting spaces are always completely private, isolated, and confidential.

Shared property context: Heyford House is a former rectory set within two acres of grounds, encompassing a B&B and two family cottages. Unless exclusive use is booked, you may occasionally see other guests, family members, or housekeeping staff in the communal areas or gardens.

Total exclusivity: 100% exclusive use of the house and grounds can be arranged for highly confidential offsites. As privacy requirements are unique to every corporate team, Leo will discuss your specific operational needs during the planning conversation to tailor the exact level of isolation required for your event.

Training facilities: The property features a dedicated gym located in a Victorian greenhouse, alongside ample garden and lawn space for outdoor training or circuits. The Main Room is also fully adaptable for indoor breathwork and exercise sessions.

Contrast therapy equipment: Facilities include two dedicated temperature-controlled ice baths, two wood-fired saunas, an outdoor plunge pool, and an outdoor shower.

Activity logistics: To ensure seamless and comfortable transitions between physical activities and professional meetings, we utilise the on-site bedrooms to provide fully private showering and changing facilities for your team.

Refreshments: Complimentary teas and fresh coffee are available throughout the day.

Dietary management: As Sonya manages her own specific dietary requirements, she understands the critical importance of safe and accurate food preparation. All dietary needs, severe allergies, and personal preferences (e.g., vegan, gluten-free) are captured securely via a pre-arrival questionnaire, ensuring every delegate is catered for.
