How the day runs
After passport control, your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall; the bags travel with you. A luxury people-carrier suits the day when there are more of you, or more luggage. The chauffeur brings you to the entrance of Blenheim Palace and stays close for the return. Remont is about 17 minutes away for lunch, tea or a night. A second house, Rousham House, lies 9.3 miles away. The way back to Heathrow Airport is about an hour — and the car can drop you at the terminal for an evening flight.
