Nestled within 30 acres of glorious Wiltshire countryside, Bishopstrow is the place for exuberance and enjoyment. The whimsical country house hotel offers gregarious rooms, a huge spa and a brand new restaurant that blends refined Georgian elegance with delicious bright colours; imaginative with a dollop of fun. When Kaleidoscope bought the hotel back in July 2021, they promised to re‑inject the love and personality that the property so deserved, and we’ve absolutely done that! With newly refurbished suites, a re‑launched kitchen garden restaurant and a plethora of pop‑up spa and restaurant concepts on their way, Bishopstrow is the perfect place for anybody wanting to be part of an exciting ever‑changing journey.

We’re an imaginative, playful team who encourage each other to remain unconventional, no matter if you’re new to hospitality or if this is a lifelong career. Our diverse, inclusive community encourages a culture where you can be your true self; it makes working in this hotel a little more exciting. We stand behind being big‑hearted, respecting each other, our guests and the wider community. On top of that, we are ALWAYS serious about giving our guests a bloody good time!
