Our storied country manor on the northern edge of the Cotswolds seamlessly combines comfort, luxury and exquisite 19th Century French design. Well known for original oak panelling and fine carved details, the Wood Norton is a true work of art.
Through it’s long and unique history as a mansion house turned BBC broadcasting and training centre, the Wood Norton has lost none of its majesty and charm.

All the style and heritage of a 19th Century mansion with all the contemporary comforts of home. It’s what makes our guests return to the Wood Norton time and time again.
Our History
Our Grade II country house hotel was once owned by exiled French royalty, the Duc d’Orléans, who made it his family home. Since then, it has been a WW2 emergency broadcasting centre, training centre and filming location for the BBC before finally becoming the stunning hotel it is today.
Sustainability
At The Wood Norton, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a core part of who we are. We’re working hard behind (and in front of) the scenes to reduce our impact on the environment, from our single use plastic-free commitment to our EV charging points.
