Shapwick House is a magnificent Tudor Manor House set amid 30 acres of informal gardens and grounds in the rolling Somerset countryside, near Glastonbury. Built by the Monks of Glastonbury in 1487, it retains period grandeur including a large open Tudor fireplace and four poster beds. Offered on an exclusive-use basis, the house is entirely yours for a private party, family reunion or weekend retreat, with guests greeted in the Great Hall by a log fire in winter or on the lawns in summer. There are eleven elegant, individually decorated en suite rooms, each with uninterrupted countryside views. The area offers further interest nearby, including Glastonbury Abbey and the Glastonbury Tribunal, both around 5.1 miles away.
