Description
The hotel lies in a scenic rural setting overlooking the Berkeley Vale and is framed by the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. Being very close to the M5 motorway, just off Junction 14, with direct access to the A38, it is easily reachable from Bristol, Gloucester, South Wales, and the Midlands. Rail links on offer are Cam & Dursley (approximately seven miles away) and Bristol Parkway (approximately 11 miles away).
Nearby hamlets include Falfield, a rural civil parish historically part of the Thornbury Hundred, which lies adjacent to the estate and is part of the same scenic countryside.
The area has deep roots dating back to the Tudor-era and features a small church (St George’s) supported historically by the Jenkinson family who built Eastwood Park in 1820 and subsequently rebuilt and enlarged the property in 1865. Also, within a short distance is Wotton-under-Edge, a small market town c. 5 miles distant, which offers additional amenities and road links (particularly via the B4058 and A38) to Bristol and the Cotswolds.
The restaurant has the capacity for up to 72 covers internally which can increase significantly with in-room and external ‘al fresco' dining opportunities over the front terrace overlooking the Gloucestershire countryside. The restaurant can offer all-day dining for both residential and non-residential guests, as well as being a popular destination for afternoon tea, Sunday lunches, and evening meals
Fixtures & FittingsTrade inventory will be included in the sale. Stock at valuation on completion.

Since January 2025, the hotel has traded as a full service business (C1) providing refurbished boutique ensuite letting accommodation in the country house with additional budget accommodation in the garden wing for corporate mid-week guests. The hotel has been initially trading under C2 classification for a number of prior years.
There is significant capacity to further develop and enhance the hotel business building upon the rapid growth experienced since the beginning of 2025. The wedding and function business is a key area for growth with over 65 weddings confirmed for 2025 and 38 confirmed for 2026. The property has close proximity to the M5 motorway with convenient travel times to Bristol to the south and the Midlands -Birmingham to the north.
Increased Bedroom Capacity – the opportunity exists to redevelop the Stable Block accommodation currently used as offices subject to obtaining the relevant statutory approvals.
Asset Management Opportunities – the hotel also represents a rare opportunity to acquire a hotel free of branding providing a blank canvas for a new owner to reposition the asset in the market and benefit from both cost synergies and brand loyalty programs.
Leisure and Spa Opportunities – Subject to the relevant consents, there is ample scope to add leisure and spa facilities should one wish. Utilising the buildings and footprint in Lot 2 (Falfield Hall and Bungalow) and/or the Stable Block, it’s another lucrative income generating opportunity at the property.
