About the hotel

This charming hotel, set in beautiful gardens and woodland, is ideally located for touring the Cotswolds and is only 20 miles from the beautiful city of Bath.

The excellent road links mean the hotel is easily located from both the M4 and M5 motorways. The hotel has been personally owned by the same family for over 50 years and offers 43 individually furnished bedrooms and suites. There are a number of family and ground floor rooms, as well as 2 rooms with wet-room style bathrooms, ideal for people with mobility difficulties.

There are 2 spacious and comfortable lounges plus a choice of dining rooms. The elegant Westonbirt Restaurant offers a fine selection of British and European dishes, utilising seasonal and local produce wherever possible. The informal menus in Jack Hare’s are also seasonal, featuring some classic pub dishes served in traditional pub surroundings.

The hotel runs a series of themed events including ‘celebrity dance breaks’ with Anton du Beke and Erin Boag, which have proved to be hugely popular and bookable directly with the hotel. Similarly, a superb Christmas package and New Year holiday are also bookable via the hotel.

A selection of conference and banqueting rooms cater for meetings, seminars, lunch and dinner parties for up to 200 guests. The hotel is also licensed for wedding ceremonies.

The surrounding area offers superb golf courses, polo during the summer months and excellent walks, especially through the National Arboretum at Westonbirt which is just half a mile from the hotel.
