The Badminton Estate’s extraordinary and unique hunting lodge lies on the edge of the Beaufort family’s historic estate. Built in the early 1700s from local Cotswold stone, Swangrove is a striking architectural folly featuring elegant gables, distinctive roof castellations, and charming pepper pots.
Swangrove House rises over three floors, connected by an original, dark oak staircase with two reception rooms – one a breathtakingly beautiful drawing room – and two sumptuous bedrooms with distinctive beds. At the top of the house sits the belvedere, with a superbly commanding view of the Badminton Estate and countryside beyond.
The house’s 300-year-old history is perfectly complemented by a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms. A pretty garden with a lawn and clipped hedges sits to the front while parking for up to four cars is at the rear on a sweeping gravel drive.

GUEST REVIEWs
We enjoyed our stay at Swangrove House. It is quite a magical place, so imposing and yet so homely at the same time. The attention to detail throughout, the divine pillows, plus the best equipped kitchen, we have ever had, made our stay very comfortable indeed. Thank you! We will definitely be returning.

Thank you so much for the most wonderful week in the most wonderful house!! It was utterly perfect from start to finish! May 2025
What a pleasure to enjoy another relaxing stay at Swangrove House, we always look forward to the space, open fires and the peace and quiet. The beautifully decorated drawing room is an absolute delight. Plenty to do locally for those that wish to explore the area, although we are often happy not to leave the house as it’s so comfortable and in a word, fabulous! August 2024
Exceptional house! What a treat, the pictures do it no justice. The house has everything you need and is lovely and warm with two fabulous fireplaces for cold days. May 2024
