The Manor House, Petty France

Built in 1812 for the British Prime Minister Jenkinson, the Manor House has played host to many famous names throughout its history. Lord Wellington would certainly have been entertained here during the Waterloo campaign, and in subsequent years, the house has been in the ownership of the Wordsworth family, Lord and Lady Apsley and the Duke of Beaufort.

In the last 40 years as a 5 star hotel, it has welcomed the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Edward Fox, Christopher Reeve and Hugh Grant.

The Manor House at Petty France is a grand, period house sleeping 16 in comfort, with  spacious rooms and high ceilings. With the addition of the Austen wing, the house can accommodate 26+ guests.  It is perfect for celebration breaks and is a well located base for visiting Bath and Bristol and the beautiful Cotswold villages.  It offers the private Peacock Spa to make the perfect private country house weekend break.

The World heritage city of Bath is 16 miles away and is easily reachable by car.  The complete shopping experience is to be found at Bristol’s newly opened Cabot Circus which is about the same distance.  If you prefer a country break, explore the beautiful Cotswold villages which are on our doorstep.

Self-catering, two night breaks are offered throughout the year, but if you choose to have caterers come to the house, we can help.  There is a restaurant and bar opposite the Manor and many Cotswold villages with pubs nearby.
