‘A life changing weekend’ is
what one Pastor recently said about their Church weekend away. Brunel
Manor provides an ideal location for churches to seize the opportunity
and see the benefits of being away from the time-constrained norms of a
Sunday. It is a time where strong links can be built within and across
generations as people experience very different dynamics to those
within the four walls of the church building and people start to get to
know the real person that so often lies masked by the Sunday best.
 For over 40 years churches of all sizes have enjoyed
coming to Brunel Manor for their Church Weekend, or perhaps for an
annual mid-week or week long holiday. With 70 bedrooms, we have
facilities which can cater for groups of up to 150 people, as well as
having the flexibility to allow more than one smaller group to come and
have full access to their own facilities. Smaller groups often find the
intimacy provided by The Lodge, with accommodation and meeting rooms
for up to 18 people, to be very beneficial.
We have comprehensive facilities
and are renowned for our food, in a beautiful location, adjacent to a
stunning coastline and wonderful moorland and located just 18 miles off
the M5, with good coach and rail links. Our staff are here to help both
in the planning stages, with information and advice about the manor
facilities and locality, and also during your stay to help ensure that
your event runs smoothly and that everyone goes away satisfied that
they have received the very best. We are also able to fully organize
events for you, identifying suitable guest speakers and arranging the
programme, including trips out as appropriate to the nature of the
break.
 Apart from holidays and church weekends, many churches use
our excellent facilities for a variety of other events, such as Alpha
away days and weekends, leaders retreats and times of prayer.
In free time outside of formal
sessions, during summer months guests value the opportunity of sitting
on the terrace and enjoying the wonderful vista, or walking through the
tranquil gardens and woodland, whilst winter evenings are enhance with
the chance of sitting around a roaring open log fire. The swimming pool
and other sports and leisure facilities are available for use
throughout the day; with them being available on an exclusive use basis
by prior arrangement.
