Just north of Bristol, De Vere Tortworth Court is a venue full of history and character. The striking gothic revival mansion dates back to between 1849 and 1853, with origins at the site reaching as far back as the 14th century. The hotel boasts 14 versatile meeting and event spaces to suit any occasion. A standout is the orangery, with its unique original domed glass ceiling – a truly special setting for any event. And when the day is done, a stroll in the sweeping grounds surrounding the hotel offer the perfect place to relax and recharge.
Inntel’s business development team recently had the pleasure of experiencing this venue first-hand – spending a full day in meetings before sitting down to a tasty dinner in the evening. It’s always great to get out and visit venues in person, and Tortworth Court certainly didn’t disappoint.
