Dumbleton Hall Hotel is a traditional 19th Century manor house set in 19
acres of private gardens and woodland with a private lake, at the edge of the
village of Dumbleton.
The hotel is surrounded by the beautiful woodland, farmland and hills of the
Dumbleton Estate and boasts stunning views of the Cotswolds and Bredon
Hills.
We are situated on the border between Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, a
mile off the A46 between Evesham and Tewkesbury, 7 miles from Junction 9
of the M5. Within a 20-mile radius are Evesham, Cheltenham, Stratford upon
Avon and Worcester. Birmingham Airport is within an hour’s drive.
Dumbleton Hall Hotel lends itself as an ideal venue for functions and
corporate events as well as conferences and meetings. The Cedar Tree
Restaurant offers a tempting choice of cuisine, opening for dinner on each
evening and for Sunday Lunch. From Monday to Saturday our a la carte
menu, Lunch under the Cedar Tree, is served from 12.30pm – 2.00pm. The
lounge bar offers a good range of hot and cold fo0d at lunchtimes and
evenings. Light snacks and teas & coffees are available 24 hours.
The hotel can cater for intimate and larger parties alike in a choice of function

corporate events or special family occasions.
The hotel and bedrooms have undergone extensive refurbishment. Work on
the development of the hotel never stops due to the age and nature of the
building.

Dumbleton Hall
1820
The History of Dumbleton Hall is indeed fascinating. The home of the Cocks family until
the later half of the 18th Century when Sir Richard Cocks died and, with no heirs, the old
manor lay empty until being demolished by fire.
In the 1830’s, Edward Holland, the well-known agriculturalist, restored it with some later
modifications to the present hall.
Links with leading figures of the world of politics, arts and the social scene of the 1930’s
add to the elegant air of ‘another time’.
The novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, a cousin of Edward Holland, was a frequent visitor.
Charles Babbage, the original pioneer of computing was also a regular guest, along with
Sir John Betjeman and the Mitford sisters.
In the early 20th Century, the hall was the home of Viscount Eyers Monsell, the
conservative politician for Evesham from 1910 to 1935. In 1931 he was appointed First
Lord of the Admiralty, a position he held until 1936.
The Post Office Fellowship of Remembrance first acquired the hall in 1959 and it remains,
to this day, in their ownership. POFR originally ran this private club as holiday retreat
and convalescent home for its members. In 1995, a revaluation of the business was
carried out and it was decided to open the business to the general public. The business
has gone from strength to strength since that time and now is one of the premier
wedding and conference destinations in the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.
The building’s unique location offers a haven of tranquillity from the outside world
amidst some of the finest scenery in England.
