About
Parsonage House is the Edwardian former vicarage on Hayes Lane in Badminton, home of the Dukes of Beaufort, run as a small bed and breakfast. It has high ceilings, big mullioned windows and a garden with seating outside, and the owners describe it as peaceful and quiet.
The three bedrooms are on the second floor and all have king-size beds, a television, coffee facilities, wardrobe space, free wifi, a desk and a view of the garden. Highgrove has its own bathroom with a shower over the bath; Beaufort and Cotswold each have a private bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Breakfast is continental, served in the dining room: local and organic where possible, with Duchy Organic bread, jams, marmalade and milk, fresh fruit salad, yoghurts, cereals, freshly cooked croissants and pains au chocolat, tea, coffee and fruit juice.
The owners put Castle Combe, Dyrham Park and the M4 about ten minutes' drive away, Westonbirt Arboretum about 12, and Bath, Bristol and Tetbury about 20. Book by email or phone; the owners say a direct booking costs less than Airbnb or Booking.com, and aim to reply within 24 hours. The house is busiest around the Badminton Horse Trials and the RHS Badminton Flower Show, which ran from 8 to 12 July in 2026. The owners do not publish house rules, but the booking platforms do: Laterooms and Trip.com list check-in from 4pm, check-out by 10am and free parking on site, Laterooms says pets are not allowed, and Trip.com says children of all ages are welcome, though cots and extra beds cannot be added. Ask about any minimum stay when you book, especially for Horse Trials week.
