Ardencote Manor is a hotel and former manor house located 0.5 miles (0.8km) north of the village of Claverdon, Warwickshire, England.
The manor was originally built in 1863 as a dowry house for Mary Phillips, the daughter of a Manchester based wool merchant Thomas. The property passed through several owners until it was purchased in 1980 by a consortium with the idea of turning it into a hotel and country club. After several defaulted attempts the current owner, a Mr Huckerby, took it over in 1996 and finally got the project off the ground.
At present the hotel has conference rooms, spa facilities, a swimming pool, tennis courts and an 18 hole golf course.
