Shapwick House Hotel offers a variety of bedrooms, individually designed and superbly furnished to provide a very comfortable and peaceful haven.
About half a mile up a winding road you will find Shapwick House , a magnificent Tudor Manor House surrounded by seventeen acres of informal gardens and grounds amidst the rolling countryside of Somerset.
In the Spring of 1489 when Shapwick House was built by Glastonbury Abbey , Katherine of Aragon was just three years old. Fifty years later in November 1539 , her second husband Henry VIII suppressed the Church in order that he might marry his mistress Anne Boleyn.
For the next 200 years there followed a quick succession of tenants until Shapwick settled into one family ownership at the beginning of the 17th century. A fashionable manor house was created from the bones of the 15th century structure under the instruction of Sir Henry Rolle of Shapwick - a wealthy London lawyer, later to become Lord Chief Justice of the Commonwealth and in 1654, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Many of the interior features date from this time and Shapwick House is now a unique lived-in Medieval manor noted for its warmth and hospitality.
