Grimscote Manor on Television

From winning Four in a Bed to inspiring builds on George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, our corner of Warwickshire has made it to the small screen more than once.

We've been proud to welcome Channel 4's cameras to Grimscote Manor not once, but three times. First, we competed and won on the long-running B&B competition Four in a Bed. Then, George Clarke came to visit for Amazing Spaces, featuring our cupcake-inspired garden folly. A second Amazing Spaces episode featured the tranquil canal that runs through our grounds. Each appearance tells a little of the story of the manor — our rooms, our welcome, and the wonderfully unexpected things you'll find here.
