The Old Manor House Hotel

Historic Charm Meets Concert Convenience

Tucked between the vibrant cities of Bath and Bristol, The Old Manor House Hotel is a quaint and character-rich escape for music lovers. Dating back to 1609, it claims the title of the oldest dwelling in Keynsham Village and offers a cozy, traditional atmosphere with oak beams, exposed brick, and the kind of old-world charm that’s hard to find. With free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a short drive to major concert venues in both cities, it’s a peaceful place to unwind before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're catching a show in Bath or heading into Bristol, this spot is ideally located—just 15 minutes by car in either direction. After the encore, return to a quiet village setting that lets you actually sleep. Free parking is a major plus for drivers, and while there's no 24-hour transport on-site, local taxis and rideshares are easy to arrange. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, which gives you time to settle in before an evening event.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a unique stay with personality
- Solo travelers chasing a dream gig in Bath or Bristol
- Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery spot
- Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate free parking and breakfast

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves a classic à la carte menu, ideal for a pre-show dinner. After a late night, you’ll appreciate the full English breakfast served each morning. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the cozy bar with a roaring fire is a great place to wind down, and nearby eateries in Keynsham village are a short walk or drive away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than raving, it’s just a short drive between two of the UK's most exciting live music cities. Head into Bristol for clubs and afterparties, or keep it low-key at local pubs in Keynsham. The hotel bar is ideal for a nightcap with its historic ambiance and crackling log fire.

What People Say

Guests love the historic feel and say it adds to the experience of their trip. Many mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent breakfast. The peaceful location between two cities gets high marks for being convenient yet quiet.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are packed with character, but some guests find them a little dated. The quirky features, like old safes that no longer work, are more charming than functional. If you’re looking for modern luxury, this may not be your vibe—but if you love atmosphere and history, it’s perfect.

The Bottom Line

A charming and peaceful base for concert-goers who want historic vibes, free parking, and quick access to gigs in both Bath and Bristol.
