Hartwell House is one of the most historically significant country house hotels in England. Grade I listed, owned by the National Trust and managed by Historic House Hotels, it sits in 90 acres of parkland on the Bicester Road just outside Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire (HP17 8NR). Hartwell House was the residence in exile of Louis XVIII of France from 1809 to 1814, sits next door to Stowe and Waddesdon Manor, and is a 35 mile, 50 minute private transfer from central London via the M40.

Why International Visitors Choose Hartwell House Plus a Chauffeur

Hartwell House attracts a high net worth international clientele, in part because it sits at the centre of the UK luxury circuit. From the front door of Hartwell House you are within an hour of Silverstone, Bicester Village, Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons, Waddesdon Manor, Stowe House, Blenheim Palace, Oxford colleges and the Cotswolds. A private chauffeur removes the rental car friction, removes the wrong side of the road learning curve, and turns the Buckinghamshire countryside into one continuous luxury experience.

We co ordinate multi leg bookings as one package. A typical international visitor itinerary we ran in June 2026: Heathrow to The Langham London, London to Hartwell House, Hartwell House to Silverstone Circuit for the British Grand Prix, Hartwell House to Heathrow for the return flight. Four legs, one chauffeur, one invoice.
