Country House The Moonraker Hotel; BW Signature Collection
Trowle Common, Bradford on Avon, BA14 9BL, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The property is in a nice location with near public transportation and restaurant in addition to the on-site restaurant

A truly magnificent hotel in a great setting. Attentive staff and comfortable rooms. Lovely gardens and close to Bradford on Avon and the river. The room we stayed in was very light, roomy and had views over the front garden. The bed was big very comfortable and the bed linen of good quality. The bathroom was large and had a good range of complimentary toiletries. Soft towels together too. The staff were very attentive and thoughtful. The restaurant was good and offered a 3 course set menu at a very reasonable price. It was our first time staying there and we extended our stay by 3 days because it was so comfortable. .. We will be back .. Anthony and Anastasia Firetto (San Francisco) Stayed June 2019

Flexibility with the restaurant for food options. Friendliness and caring of the staff was extra ordinary ...they went out of their way to assist us with last minute knee injury that prevented us from using stairs, and every other thing that we requested. Loved this place!

The grounds the room and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was outstanding and very hot.

Hotel setting looked great. Room was spacious and comfortable too. Liked the style of it and having our own front door! ☺️

Despite Lockdown 3 this place is doing all it can to provide a great service, without doubt my first choice of stay when in the area, the rooms are lovely and clean, very homely and comfortable, exceptionally clean, await the day I can stay in 'normal' circumstances,

Once I got allocated a room it was superb, no problems at all.

Gorgeous country Hotel, beautiful room, delicious continental breakfast

The staff were very friendly and the location was good to visit bath and other local tourist spots. The hotel upgraded our room to their superior room. It was an amazing room as it had a four poster bed which was on a higher level. It was something special. The grounds were well kept and it’s worth visiting the chickens.

Very good size room. Good value continental breakfast.

Host Info
Company info
Tudor and Lucy Hopkins own and manage The Moonraker with help from a brilliant team and their dog Camber. They bought the hotel in July 2013. Tudor has worked in a number of 5 star hotels in London including The Connaught, Grosvenor House, The Leonard and Browns Hotel. In June 2013 he sold his previous hotel, The Gallivant on the East Sussex coast, having transformed it from a dusty dated hotel to a beachy nautical haven voted one of the UK’s top coastal hotels. His wife Lucy had a career in environmental behaviour change and was working for the not-for-profit company WRAP, before taking on The Moonraker. Lucy creates drawings and prints used on the hotel materials including the pictures used in this directory. Tudor and Lucy have many plans for The Moonraker. Camber the Dog is also excited about the changes ahead. He said ‘We love the rustic rambling charm of The Moonraker. We are working hard to quietly transform this hotel back to its former glory. We would love you to complete the feedback forms which you will find in your room so we can stay focused on what is really important to you’.
Property info
Dating back 500 years, The Moonraker is a Grade II listed manor house set in four acres of land. Within the grounds are a walled garden, paddock, ponds and converted outbuildings from its days as a farm. This is all set in beautiful West Wiltshire near Bath. The house faces approximately southeast on Trowle Common, a domesday book site. Trowle was an ancient tithing of Bradford-on-Avon and originally stretched into the town as far as Barton Farm and included all the built up area south of the Town Bridge. In the medieval period it was part of the Abbess of Shaftesbury’s Bradford Manor. Originally a typical farmhouse, it was altered to a genteel gentleman’s residence in 1700, to mirror the rebuilding of Bath in a country setting. At this time, it was altered and faced in Ashlar to its present Georgian style, not dissimilar to Highgrove, Prince Charles’ house. The Legend Of The Wiltshire Moonrakers Five hundred years ago, when the Moonraker manor house was born, Dutch and Flemish merchants had headquarters in Swindon, attracted there by the high profit obtained from the wool trade.
Neighborhood info
We have 23 bedrooms that are located in the manor house, the old pig sties, the old cow sheds and the old barns. The Moonraker has 23 beautifully appointed bedrooms, walled gardens, kitchen garden and a paddock area. Chef Dean Toon has created mouthwatering dishes using the hotel’s kitchen garden and on site smokery.
