Last update: January 2026
Our beautiful Victorian Manor blends character and contemporary style, offering a space that’s as relaxed or as refined as you want it to be. Inside, you’ll find stunning period details; a grand bath stone staircase, sparkling chandeliers, and huge windows that open up to incredible sweeping views of the River Severn to Wales.
It stands in the heart of Old Down Country Park, surrounded by 66 acres of green space and home to many animals and wildlife. It’s just a 30 minutes drive from Bristol City Centre.
Exclusively Yours
The Manor is exclusively yours from day of your wedding to the following morning and has 8 characterful bedrooms for friends and family to stay.
We also have our on-site self catering property Foxholes Barn with hot tub and our seasonal bell tents from April-September.
You have a choice of beautifully appointed reception rooms to accommodate your ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception. This allows your day to flow seamlessly from the moment you arrive through to welcoming evening guests with no downtime for room change-overs and set up.
There’s Plenty Of Room
The Manor at Old Down Estate is fully licensed to hold Civil Ceremonies but is also the perfect reception venue should you choose to hold your ceremony elsewhere.
The Atrium (Seats 70) This is the heart of the house with a sweeping bath stone staircase for a grand entrance.
Bernays and Piano Room (Seats 120) Positioned at the front of the house overlooking the well-kept gardens and manicured lawn, the Bernays and Piano rooms are ideal for intimate ceremonies and can be used separately or together. (Bernays seats 80, Piano seats 40)
Wine and Dine
Our dedicated chefs deliver the very best in fine dining, specialising in both modern and traditional cuisine. We invite each couple to a special ‘taster evening’ to sample the menu.
To complement our fine cuisine, drinks packages are available ranging from fine wines and spirits from our extensive cellar, to soft drinks, juices and cordials. We offer tailored packages to suit all tastes and budgets.
