The Petwood Hotel is a historic country house hotel set within around 30 acres of landscaped gardens in the heart of Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire. Originally built in 1905 as an Edwardian private residence, it later became famous as the officers’ mess for 617 Squadron, “The Dambusters”, giving the property a unique RAF heritage that’s still celebrated today.

Guests can choose from a range of comfortable en-suite rooms and characterful suites, many overlooking the gardens. The hotel offers award-winning dining, classic afternoon tea on the terrace, and relaxed meals in the Terrace Bar, with menus showcasing local Lincolnshire produce.

Petwood is a popular venue for weddings, conferences and special events, as well as a great base for exploring Woodhall Spa, nearby golf courses, and the wider “Bomber County” attractions. Whether you’re visiting for a stay, a Sunday lunch, or simply a stroll through the gardens, the hotel combines heritage, charm and modern comfort.
