Dog-friendly · Family-friendly
A members' club, not a place to call in on. Soho House says a day visit needs a membership and a stay needs that or Soho Friends, and on 4 November 2026 its booking tool marked the Farmhouse members only for a signed-out visitor. If you can get in it has cabins, a heated pool and a spa on 100 acres. If you cannot, the Falkland Arms in Great Tew is open to everyone, and it is a short drive away.

About
Soho Farmhouse is at Great Tew, on 100 acres of Oxfordshire countryside. It is one of Soho House's private members' clubs, and also a hotel. Soho House says you must be a member to visit for the day, and need a Soho House or Soho Friends membership to stay. Soho Friends costs £135 a year, and full membership with the Farmhouse as your home House costs £3,900 a year plus a one-off £550 fee (Soho House, 4 November 2026). One line on its general bedrooms page says non-members can stay, but its booking tool marked the Farmhouse members only when we checked that day. Treat it as closed to the public, and ask if you think otherwise.
The rooms are spread across the site as Piglets, compact panelled cabins for two; Studio and larger Cabins, some with bunks for children, wood burners or outdoor baths; Farm Huts; the Farmyard rooms near the Main Barn; a Farm Cottage for eight; and a seven-bedroom Farmhouse with its own garden. Soho House shows no rates to a non-member. Mr & Mrs Smith, a booking club, advertised from £480 a night in November 2026, and we could not confirm a booking would complete.
Members have the Boathouse with indoor and outdoor pools (heated to 30°C, Soho House's 2024 guide says), a spa open 10am to 8pm, saunas, ice baths and sunken tubs by the lake, a gym, a 45-seat screening room, Teeny Barn for children, and restaurants including the Main Barn, Pen Yen and Little Berenjak, with Blake's Kitchen Bakery. Members can bring up to three guests to eat and one to the pool. Dogs stay on a lead and are allowed indoors only at the Mill, the bakery and Little Berenjak.
If you came to Great Tew hoping to see it, the Falkland Arms on the green is the pub to go to. Our guide to Soho Farmhouse has what each source says on non-member stays, the full costs, and its effect on the area.
