Voted into the Times' 100 Best Places, Bishopstrow is a whimsical country house hotel set within 30 acres of glorious Wiltshire countryside and there's genuinely nowhere quite like it. Gregarious rooms, a newly launched spa, The Grill restaurant, and a kitchen garden that feeds both all wrapped up in Georgian elegance with a healthy dose of colour and imagination.

We're in the middle of an exciting chapter right now. New suites, a reimagined kitchen garden restaurant, and a spa that's causing quite a stir. If you want to be part of something that's growing, evolving, and always a little bit surprising, this is the place.

We care deeply about our guests, each other, and the wider community. And yes we're absolutely serious about giving people a bloody good time.
