DISCOVER BERWICK LODGE

SHH, IT’S A SECRET… On the outskirts of Bristol, set in 18 acres of stunning gardens and woodlands, is Berwick Lodge. A privately owned and proudly independent boutique 5* hotel and event space. A hidden secret just waiting to be discovered... Welcoming a new life into the world is a moment of pure joy and excitement. It’s only natural to want to celebrate this precious moment, and what better way to do this than with a beautiful baby shower! A baby shower is more than just a party; it's a celebration of the incredible journey you're about to undertake. It's a time to surround yourself with friends and family, share stories and advice, and revel in the anticipation of the little one's arrival. Berwick Lodge, with its warm, intimate, and welcoming atmosphere, is the perfect venue to celebrate this momentous occasion and commemorate this special milestone.

ENCHANTING GROUNDS & MAGNIFICENT VICTORIAN HOUSE

BERWICK LODGE...

As you step onto the grounds, you'll be greeted by acres of natural beauty and spectacular features that seem straight out of a storybook. Our most striking feature is ‘Aphrodite’s Dome’ – with its intricately designed dome roof surrounded by marble ladies. The glistening fountain, original Victorian summerhouse, orchard, tree swing and views across to Wales, offer additional backdrops for beautiful photographs. The interior of our stunning Victorian building reflects historical British luxury and comfort with a subtle Turkish twist. Berwick Lodge understands that each baby shower is as unique as the precious little bundle of joy on the way. Whether you envision a chic and elegant affair or a relaxed and cosy gathering, the celebration rooms at Berwick Lodge are thoughtfully designed to adapt to your vision.

‘THE LOUNGE’ For groups up to 22. This is a beautiful wood-panelled room with large, sumptuous sofa seating, a feature open fireplace and views of the main gardens. ‘THE LOWER DINING ROOM’ For groups up to 36. This is a private area of the main restaurant; a wonderfully bright room, with sparkling chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grounds. ‘THE MESOPOTAMIA’ For groups up to 60. The original stable block, adjacent to the main hotel is ideal for private events. The ground floor room, Mesopotamia, is a spacious room with plenty of natural light, direct access to a private garden area, and views on the countryside beyond.

“I can't thank Holly and the team at Berwick Lodge enough for event planning my friend's baby shower. Holly was so helpful in the booking process - she shared menu options for us, and was friendly and thoughtful throughout. The baby shower went off without a hitch and the staff who looked after us were so attentive, taking into consideration dietary requirements with no fuss. The food was all superb and everyone enjoyed the sandwiches, scones and cakes. Thank you so much."
