Seminars and company events
The Old Manor House Hotel hosts daytime and evening meetings, private dinners, birthday and retirement parties, and weddings of up to 55 guests by day and 120 in the evening, in Keynsham, between Bristol and Bath in South West England. The hotel occupies a house that dates back to 1609 and has nine en-suite bedrooms.
For business use, the hotel caters for meetings during the day or in the evening and sets up a space to suit the agenda. It is a fit for a team away day, a board dinner or a client lunch rather than a large conference. The front-of-house team tailors each private event, and group menus are available on request for larger parties.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the hotel's main event offer. The day can run from a small ceremony with close family to exclusive hire of the whole hotel. Up to 55 guests can attend the ceremony and the wedding breakfast, and up to 120 can join in the evening, figures given for exclusive bookings. Two rooms are licensed for ceremonies: the Restaurant for up to 45 guests and the Ballroom for up to 55. The meal can be a sit-down service, a buffet, or both across a full day. The garden, set with tables and parasols, and the period interiors give photographers settings both inside and out.
Beyond weddings, the hotel hosts birthdays, retirement dinners and wakes, each planned with the team.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballroom takes up to 55 guests for a ceremony and is the larger of the two event rooms. The Restaurant takes up to 45 guests for a ceremony and also serves as the dining room for the hotel's lunch and dinner services. With exclusive hire, evening receptions grow to 120 guests.
Accommodation
Nine en-suite bedrooms sit within the house. On a wedding weekend they let the couple, close family and the bridal party stay on site, and on exclusive hire the whole hotel is reserved for the wedding party.
Catering
The kitchen serves lunch from Monday to Saturday and a longer Sunday lunch, dinner from Monday to Saturday, and afternoon tea from Monday to Saturday, booked at least 48 hours ahead. Groups of more than ten have a dedicated afternoon tea menu. For weddings, guests choose a seated meal, a buffet or both, and servers advise on allergens and gluten-free options.
History and setting
The house dates back to 1609, and the hotel describes its style as a mix of old and new, in the manner of a country house. It stands at 5 Bristol Road in Keynsham, a market town on the road between Bristol and Bath, and welcomes guests from both cities and the surrounding South West.
Getting there
The address is 5 Bristol Road, Keynsham, Bristol BS31 2BA. Keynsham lies between Bristol and Bath, which keeps both cities within short reach for guests traveling in for a wedding or a meeting. The team can give directions and parking details on request.
