Multiday and Destination Weddings
Hamswell House is the perfect choice for multiday and destinations weddings as it is not only in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but also only 15 minutes from the historic city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient Roman hot springs and 18th-century Georgian architecture.
Bath has excellent hotels in all price ranges, so all your guests can enjoy luxury accommodation with 15 minutes of Hamswell House.
While Hamswell House remains an exclusive-use private family estate ensuring absolute privacy for your wedding day, hosting your destination wedding weekend here is entirely seamless. We partner with the finest luxury hotels, boutique inns, and private country house rentals in Bath and the surrounding Cotswolds to provide world-class overnight accommodation for your guests, offering effortless transit for multi-day wedding celebrations.
We had guests traveling from Hawai’i and Australia, and we were keen to give them a feel for the beautiful English countryside, while also staying in the vicinity of a city where our guests could overnight. Hamswell House is perfectly located, roughly 15mins from the centre of Bath, with Taxis serving the venue.
We both knew from the moment we drove down the beautiful lane into the driveway of Hamswell House that we had to have this venue, and it was easily one of the best decisions we have ever made! Eleonore Stiller – bride
