Nestled in the beautiful Georgian village of Bowlish,
‘Bowlish House’ is the ultimate dreamy country escape
Our Grade II* Georgian Palladian stately home, completed in c. 1732, is a stunning example of early Georgian architecture and is the ultimate haven for a peaceful country escape, an intimate wedding or a special celebration. The house is also used as a location house for film and photography
Bowlish – which means ‘bridge over the rocky waterfall’, is a picturesque hamlet that mainly consists of charming listed historic houses and cottages. A stone’s throw from local places of interest such as the ancient Cathedral city of Wells, the city of Bath, Glastonbury Tor and the vibrant local towns of Frome and Bruton. There are so many wonderful things to do in our local surroundings before you retreat to your stylish room to snuggle down and dream, drift and dwell

So much potential, and such a grand opening awaits, there's a few more technical difficulties to iron out, as it's had a much needed makeover, and delays can be expected, given the age of the property, and it's limited upkeep in the past. All the best to the new brave owner, manager. and staff.

Nicola was a fantastic host, very attentive and extremely welcoming, especially to our dog Dougal. We really enjoyed our stay at Bowlish House, most of all the decor, breakfast and lovely family that live there. ||Definitely worth a visit.

I recently stayed here for two nights during Glastonbury festival, and it was delightful! My room was lovely with stunning decor, along with the rest of the house, that made me feel like I was stepping back in time. …

The charming property together with host Nicola's ability to make us feel so at ease and comfortable are the main points to mention. The character of the house, even the creaky floorboards, was very appealing. …

Bowlish House is an absolutely beguiling country house hotel nestled in a quiet corner of Somerset. It is filled with art, light, and warm family-friendly vibes. If you are looking for the true country house experience in Somerset I can’t recommend Bowlish House enough!

Our unique home will soon be coming to the end of a complex restoration project. Overseen by previous owners, Dee Murren and Nicola Knight, we are now in the final stages. We have lovingly restored this Georgian gem with both style, functionality and preservation at its heart. From the creaky floorboards, which we have grown to adore, to the original tall sash windows, shutters, floor to ceiling panelling and original fireplaces, Bowlish House is the perfect place to recharge and restore.
