A storied hotel where history meets distinctive hospitality

The Tudor House Hotel in Tewkesbury,  an enchanting tapestry of history and charm. Built in 1546, this timber-framed marvel stands proudly on the High Street, its black-and-white façade a testament to centuries past. Originally known as “The Old House,” it has witnessed the ebb and flow of English history, from the tumultuous times of the Jacobite uprisings evidenced by battle axe scars on its sturdy oak door to the serene days of local author John Moore, who fondly described it as “the loveliest house in Elmbury”.

Inside, the hotel exudes character: creaking floorboards, exposed beams, and leaded diamond-pane windows that have framed countless stories. The building’s evolution is visible in its architecture, with 18th-century brickwork and Victorian-era mock-timbering adding layers to its rich narrative.

But it’s not just the physical structure that captivates; tales of the supernatural add a layer of intrigue. Guests have reported encounters with a “grey lady,” believed to be the spirit of a maid who met a tragic end, and the haunting rhythm of a phantom drummer boy echoing through the night.

Today, the Tudor House Hotel seamlessly blends its storied past with modern comforts. Guests can enjoy individually styled rooms, a cosy bar, and a secret garden, all while soaking in views of the River Avon.

Staying here is like stepping into a living history book, where every creak and shadow whispers tales of yesteryear. It’s not just a hotel, it’s an experience, a journey through time in the heart of Tewkesbury.
