- RRoxy Anstis14/11/2018The best day of our lives!!!The best day of our lives!!!We had our wedding here on the 18th of August 2018 and everything from first meeting Jane, coordinating with Georgia and Jason and the amazing staff, the food, bespoke drinks, decor, service was faultless. The building is stunning and located in a perfect area in between Bristol and Bath. We were made to feel like royalty and were able to work so closely with the team to make our day truly special. Everyone from the chefs to the bar staff and house keepers treated us so special. I've travelled the world and not receive as friendly service as we did by all the team. All our family and friends commented that Jane and her team are one of a kind. We cannot recommend The Old Manor House enough. I would give it 10 stars if I could. If you want a quirky venue with beautiful historic features and rooms, with amazing staff, 5 star food/drink look no further! We cannot wait to go back and see everyone!We had our wedding here on the 18th of August 2018 and everything from first meeting Jane, coordinating with Georgia and Jason and the amazing staff, the food, bespoke drinks, decor, service was faultless.
