Shakespeare penned his comedy As You Like It here in 1599, including the immortal line ‘all the world’s a stage’. Are you ready to tread the boards of Billesley Manor?
At Billesley, you are walking in Shakespeare’s footsteps. It was here that he is believed to have married Anne Hathaway in 1582.
Referenced in the Domesday Book, the grounds of Billesley Manor feature an 11th century church and an ornate Topiary Garden in the style of a chess board.
Set in 11 acres of manicured Warwickshire gardens, Billesley Manor is the ideal base for exploring Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and the incomparable Cotswolds countryside. This 16th century manor house offers a rich and stately ambience – an authentic glimpse of English history, combined with all the comforts of modern life.
Our comfortable and cosy bedrooms include four-poster rooms furnished with antique pieces, alongside more contemporary bedrooms in the Cedar Barns and the Spa area, while others overlook the attractive Topiary Garden. The Stuart Restaurant and Great Hall offer an impressive backdrop for first-class dining, with original oak panelling and large stone fireplaces. The service, of course, is in keeping with the remarkable setting.
And our wonderful Spa has everything you need to relax and unwind, including an extensive selection of Decléor treatments, a health suite, swimming pool and tennis courts. We look forward to welcoming you to Billesley Manor Hotel soon. As Shakespeare himself said, ‘such stuff as dreams are made on’.
