Beautifully restored and once home to the family’s butler, Chaplain's Lodge sleep five. Whilst we can't offer you a butler, it can be booked with Chaplain's House for a family get-together the Gibbs' would be proud of. In the 1840s, the lodge marked the northern entrance to the Tyntesfield estate and was home to a gatekeeper. It was later lived in by the Gibbs family's butler, Mr Hemmings.

This delightful mid-19th century estate cottage (Grade II listed) is the perfect base for a romantic getaway. Two can cosy up next to the open fire and enjoy evening walks through the estate. Only 6 miles from Bristol, it's a peaceful base to explore the area from.

Chaplain's House is a picturesque mid-Victorian lodge built in the 1890s. Set over three floors, the house contains three bedrooms (one double, two twins), one bathroom, plus separate shower cubicle and toilet. At Chaplain's House you can live in Victorian style while enjoying all the modern comforts of this recently restored house. It was built as a residence for the Gibbs family's chaplain, a prestigious role as demonstrated in the quality of the original features.

A lot of work goes into caring for a Victorian house and its historic collection.

Thanks to a generous donation from S C Johnson, we have undertaken a project to conserve a collection of ancient and veteran trees across a number of Bristol sites.
