About Billesley Manor Hotel

Fears for Tiers

Dear Friends of Bespoke,

Better safe than sorry (as my mother used to say) has never had more relevance than in our current Covid world. So, it’s with great disappointment, but understanding, that we advise you that, Startford upon Avon has been placed in Tier 3 as part of the latest Government restrictions and as a result Billesley Manor hotel will not be re-opening when this current lockdown comes to an end on 2nd December.
We aim to be in touch with all of our affected customers in the coming days and we will be doing this in date order.
So, if you have an upcoming booking during this period, we ask that you either cancel via the company with whom you made your original booking, or wait for the hotel to get in touch with you.
Please note our phone lines will not be manned during the closure.  Should you need to contact the hotel directly, please use the email address shown on the contact page.
We will, of course, update you as soon as we are allowed to re-open.
In the meantime, we wish you and your families well. And please ‘Stay Safe’
With all good wishes

Set in 11 acres of parkland, Billesley Manor is a stunning 16th century Elizabethan manor house. Located just 3 miles from Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, this historic property is steeped in history and charm. Once referenced in the Domesday Book, the grounds feature an 11th century church and an ornate topiary garden, which was planted 100 years ago to replicate a chess board.

Bedrooms combine traditional character with 21st century luxuries, options include a variety within the manor house or cedar barns. The Stuart Restaurant and Great Hall offer the perfect backdrop for dinner with oak panelling, original fireplaces,  first class food and attentive service. 

The Spa has everything you need to unwind and keep fit, relax in the beauty rooms and take advantage of the extensive range of Decleor treatments on offer.

When you spend the night in Billesley, you are sleeping where several, significant historical events occurred. It was here that Shakespeare put ink to paper and wrote ‘As You Like It’. Historians also believe the All Saints Church in the grounds is where Shakespeare married his wife, Anne Hathaway!
