About
Calcot Manor is a hotel and spa on a 220-acre estate about four miles west of Tetbury. The oldest building is a 14th-century tithe barn built for Kingswood Abbey; the Estcourt family later added the manor, and it opened as a hotel in 1984. It is now part of the Calcot Collection, and Westonbirt Arboretum is a short drive away.
It is best known as a hotel for families. Many rooms are family rooms or suites for two adults and up to two children, and there is also Barnsley Cottage, with its own garden and log burner, and two treehouses looking out over the meadows; the cottage and each treehouse sleep four. Children have a playbarn, and a mid-week offer includes free stays for children with four hours of childcare a day.
The spa has a heated indoor pool, a gym in the Grain Store, an outdoor hot tub by an open fire in the courtyard and treatments; the pool and gym open from 7am to 9pm. It sells spa days and runs a membership, Club Calcot, and guests who book directly get unlimited spa access. Guests can use bikes, tennis courts and a disc golf course at no charge. Meals are in the Brasserie, which serves seasonal country cooking, or the Hive, a lounge that goes from coffee to cocktails; afternoon tea is served in either. The hotel lists Brasserie lunch from noon to 2pm (2.30pm on Sundays) and dinner from 6.30pm to 8.45pm, and in the Hive brunch from 9am to noon, grazing plates to 5pm and supper from 6pm to 8.45pm, with the cocktail bar open from noon. Direct-booking offers started at about £300 a night when we checked in October 2026. Expedia lists check-in from 3pm, check-out by 11am and free parking. Pet dogs come only by prior arrangement.
