An Inside Look at The Wood Norton

The Wood Norton was built in 1897 by exiled French Royalty and was the host of Royal Wedding in 1907 between the Duc D'Orleans sister Princess Louise and and Prince Charles of Bourbon. The chapel at Wood Norton was too small for the wedding and another chapel was erected on the lawn. This had not been consecrated so at the last minute the civil wedding had to be held in a corrugated hut down Avon Street, Evesham. The main ceremony was then held at Wood Norton. In 1939 the BBC bought the site so it could relocate its operations away from London in the event of hostilities. A dozen studios were quickly erected and by 1940 Wood Norton was one of the largest broadcasting centres in Europe with an average output of 1,300 programmes a week. It was home of the BBC’s Monitoring Service until 1943, when monitoring moved to Reading. The move was made to release space so Wood Norton could become the BBC’s main broadcasting centre should London have to be evacuated. In 1940 a fire destroyed the top story of the Hall. It is unknown what started the fire but it was thought to be sunlight shining through a skylight that ignited insulation packing in the roof

“Very enjoyable stay ”

눉Short staffed at breakfast. Ran out of some food items about an hour before the end of breakfast, not enough space for everyone in the dining room. Some people had to sit in bar for breakfast. Our room (not in main building) overlooked BBC grounds and some noisy deliveries. Room hot so we had to keep windows open. A fan is probably needed. Also duvet only and a separate sheet would be good for hot weather. I am sure I could have requested this but didn't think if it at the time.
눇Nice spacious room with very nice bathroom, good gym, lovely grounds attentive and helpful staff. We had a minor problem with room and the young lady at reception very quickly personally attended to the problem. Restaurant looked nice and not too pricey but we went into Evesham for a very nice pub dinner at the Royal Oak. 5 mins drive from Evesham. Less than 30 from Stratford. Would have been very difficult without a car.

눉The way into and out of the car park was a bit tight. The room could benefit from having a small fridge or a drinks cooler in it.
눇The room was clean and well presented. The staff were very helpful and the service was spot on.

눉We read on Trip Advisor they had a service problem when they had weddings on. Well there was a wedding on when we went. We wanted to sit outside at 6.30 to enjoy a drink - we had to sit at a table that still had a mess from afternoon tea. It was still dirty an hour later
눇Stuff very helpful

눉My wife thought the lighting in the bathroom was inadequate for applying make-up. Plus, the room would have benefited from having a full length mirror. However, we would happily stay here again.
눇All staff were very friendly. Relaxing ambience and lovely gardens

눉Building work and concentrate sawing continued on the Pagoda till 10pm dampening the experience of sitting outside on the patio. Very hot room without aircon or fan (although didn't ask for one either).
눇Beautiful building and location. Nice big room and luxury feel to everything. Family games room. Lovely meals in the Brassiere at reasonable prices. Breakfast delicious.

“A sumptuous and special place”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Other than the coffee, nothing at all! (The coffee wasn't to our taste, but to be fair, that was the case in virtually every place we tried it in GB.)
눇This is the most beautiful property, with gorgeous gardens and views, and steeped in history. Our large and lovely room was in the main building, with views to the side garden and over the lawns. These were 'small', but beautiful views, and completely private - not in any way disappointing. The oak-lined bedroom and bathroom suite were really beautiful, and the large, modernised bathroom managed perfectly to retain the flavour and age of the building. All the rooms in the main, old building appear to be oak-lined - beautiful and full of character. There are several beautiful and elegant, but cosy sitting rooms, an excellent bar and lounge, and beautiful garden terrace to enjoy. A walk around those lovely gardens is a must, with plenty of places to just sit and take it all in. The delicious breakfast was in the equally beautiful dining room, overlooking the terrace and views beyond, and service was timed perfectly, despite the restaurant being full to overflowing (a long weekend, plus a large wedding party for breakfast the first morning).
