Manor House Wedding venues near the Cotswolds

Planning a wedding is a mammoth task. I always say start with your venue. You literally cannot book anything else without it! Whether you want to get married in church, in a barn or a manor house there is a huge amount of choice. Here is a list of some of my favourite Manor House style wedding venues near the Cotswolds.

Berwick Lodge

So to start off on our manor house wedding venues near the Cotswolds is the amazing Berwick Lodge down in Bristol. I have started with this one as it not only stunning but the venue staff are incredible!

The grounds around the lodge are the perfect spot for photos together as well as with your wedding party. Stunning bluebell woods, views to Wales, fountains, swings and a lovely Victorian stone walkway up to their Aphrodite’s Dome.

If you want to make sure your wedding is sustainable in some way then you should check out Berwick Lodge. They clearly care about the environment and also offer tree planting options for couples.

The Bear oF rODBOROUGH

The Bear of Rodborough is a hotel located just outside the town of Stroud in the Cotswolds, known for its picturesque landscapes and famous cows of the common land.

The hotel is housed in a historic building dating back to the 17th century and is named after a bear that used to be kept in the town of Rodborough in the 19th century. Legend has it that the bear was used to help promote a local pub, but it eventually grew too big and was moved to a nearby hotel, which was later renamed The Bear of Rodborough.
