Petwood Hotel - an unusual name - but with an historic and interesting connection. The house was built in 1905 for Lady Weigall on a site chosen by her in the area of her favourite `pet wood`. The only child of Sir Blundell Maple, the furniture store magnate, Lady Weigall and her husband Sir Archibald Weigall lived here at Petwood. Together they entertained many famous guests.
During the Second World War the house was requisitioned by the Royal Air Force and in 1943 it became the Officers Mess for 617 Squadron - the famous `Dambusters`. Today the Squadron Bar is dedicated to this famous group of men.
Today Petwood Hotel still extends a very warm welcome to its visitors. This lovely building standing in 30 acres is surrounded by mature woodland, rhododendron walks, extensive lawns and gardens, and has a feature lake stocked with a variety of wildfowl.
Inside the hotel many original features remain, including extensive oak panelling and the beautifully carved main staircase. Further original features are retained in the elegantly proportioned formal rooms, all of which are tastefully and sympathetically furnished.
