About this space

At Hamswell House, you have not only the fabulous walled gardens and the backdrop of a historic manor house but breathtaking views and a convenient location near Bath and Bristol. A marquee in the garden of a beautiful country house is the first choice for a romantic wedding reception.

Hamswell House as it stands today is the 16th century with 17th and 18th-century remodelling. The early Jacobean façade with its elaborate carved stone portico is a fine example of the English Renaissance. The garden façade is Queen Anne with a stone shell hood on brackets carved with acanthus leaves and beasts above the door.

The orangery in the grounds is the 18th century with high arched windows and a Cotswold stone roof. The extensive gardens are terraced with a network of decorative stone walls and feature a pergola, a herb garden, a kitchen garden and traditional greenhouses. The house is set in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the end of a long drive.
