Widbrook Grange, Bradford On Avon

This warm, informal and elegant 250-year-old Georgian country house is peacefully located in 11 acres of land, 20 minutes from Bath and just 40 minutes from Bristol Airport.

Widbrook is privately owned and has an intimate, relaxed atmosphere with cosy lounges and a log fire on cold winter nights.

The hotel has an heated indoor swimming pool, a gym, free Wi-Fi and a conference suite. Beauty treatments and massages can be arranged.

Its award-winning AA Rosette Medlar Tree Restaurant serves fine British regional cuisine and an interesting selection of wines.

Widbrook Grange has been awarded the English Tourist Council, RAC and AA 5 Diamond rating for its attentive yet unobtrusive hospitality, and the RAC has named it 'Little Gem of the Year’ for the last 5 years.

The hotel sits amid rolling countryside, yet is just off the M3/M4 corridor and is 5 minutes from the county town of Trowbridge and 2 hours from London.

Walks from the hotel lead to the Kennet and Avon Canal with its picturesque narrow boats, and on to the Saxon Tithe Barn and church of the medieval town of Bradford on Avon. Longleat House, Stonehenge and Lacock Abbey are within easy driving distance.

The 20 spacious and tastefully decorated bedrooms are located in the main house, courtyard and gardens, and include romantic four-posters, family rooms and facilities for disabled guests.
