About this property

Spacious Georgian manor house in quaint village

Bowlish House is a Grade II* Listed Georgian Stately Home in the pretty Village of Bowlish. The house is perfect for families/groups of friends looking to get away for a celebration, holiday or just a relaxing weekend away. Recently refurbished to a high standard, featuring stylish artwork, ceramics & antique furniture. the house combines a feeling of grandeur in a homely, warm setting with light and airy spaces that become cosy nooks in the evenings, a gorgeous space for a get-together to relax & enjoy. Please note: as we are currently styling the house the furniture and artwork in the images here may differ to the final result.

The town of Bowlish is ideally situated near several points of interest inc Glastonbury Tor, Ebbor Gorge, Wells Cathedral, Longleat & Babbington House to mention a few.

The ground floor opens up to a grand hallway, a family lounge area, library/bar, ballroom & orangery where you can enjoy lazy brunches & dinner party's. Our small but perfectly formed pantry kitchen can be used for external chefs to use or for group meal prep. Our lovely orangery leads out to our pretty garden & patio area which you can use for dining or drinks.

There are 8 bedrooms with 6 having en suites, all the bedrooms other than two can be found on the first floor. Because the house is grade II* listed unfortunately there is no lift but we can organise for one of the social spaces on the ground floor to be a sleeping space with accessible WC. If required, we have 2 rollaway foldout beds suitable for children that can be placed in the larger bedrooms. Please do ask if you would like us to supply these.

Bowlish House is located opposite the local pub with other public houses & eateries within a short journey. Various towns/city's can be reached very easily by car or public transport (Shepton Mallet, Wells, Frome Bath).

Bowlish is a quaint little village on the edge of Shepton Mallet. A lovely local pub is a few steps from our front door with other pubs and restaurants within a short car journey, stroll.

Guests can enjoy the whole House, private gardens & patio dining area. We have a private owners flat above the garage which may be of use during your stay but it has its own access so you will have complete privacy. Bowlish House is available for exclusive use and events, please enquire for prices.

We will greet you upon arrival to welcome you and briefly show you the space and answer any questions you may have. We can be on hand if you need anything during your stay but rest assured you will have complete privacy.

Fantastic house in a beautiful part of the world!

A stunning place to get your family or friends together and relax and unwind.Bowlish House was a great location for us to get together three families of four people for New Year 2024.It’s a great example of the Georgian house that’s been beamed around the world in Bridgerton, a very special place to be able to say you’ve stayed and experienced.

Must must experience exceptional host & house

If we could give 10 stars we would! We felt like starring in a Bridget Jones movie, Maryanne was incredibly warm, helpful, so sweet and positive, and her attention to detail is just incredible. Everywhere you look, every corner is home to another cute and quirky accessory, the house is so charming and just perfect for a special occasion. The breakfast was delicious, and prepared so lovingly, our dinner was exceptional, and the setting even more so! Thank you for the most perfect stay - what a fairy tale it was!

Fantastic weekend in an amazing property

We had an amazing weekend at Bowlish House which was perfect for a family gathering. The house has lots of character and there is lots of space for children to run around. The orangery dining area is a particular highlight which is very spacious with loads of light. Maryanne was an incredible host, very responsive to any questions and always friendly and helpful. Very glad to have found this property.
