Manor By The Lake wedding photography and film
Manor By The Lake in Cheltenham is a Victorian manor house set within seven acres of beautiful grounds. The grand rooms, lakeside terrace, and mature gardens create an elegant, romantic backdrop for wedding films.
We've filmed at Manor By The Lake more times than we can count, and that lakeside terrace never gets old. The Victorian architecture gives you these incredible contrasts of grand interiors and open, reflective light from the water, all within seven acres of mature grounds that seem to go on forever.
Getting to Manor By The Lake
Cheltenham Spa is your closest train station, sitting around 3 miles from the venue. From there, a taxi takes roughly 10 minutes and costs around £8 to £12. It is well connected from London Paddington and Birmingham New Street, so worth checking Great Western Railway for times. Bristol Airport is the most practical option for guests flying in, around 45 miles away. Exeter Airport is a smaller alternative if you are travelling from further south. Manor By The Lake has its own car park on site, which is free to use. It fills up quickly for ceremonies, so arriving a little early is a good idea. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms like A2B Cheltenham are reliable, but drivers get busy on weekends. Sorting a pickup time before the reception starts will save you waiting around later in the night.
