In 2000, a plan was drawn up for a 149-bed hotel along with a 9-hole extension of the golf course. Planning permission was granted two years later, it was eventually decided to design a smaller hotel and spa reflecting Bowood Estates unique character.

To create the lake at Bowood, Capability Brown, landscape designer (1716-1783), dammed two streams and moved a small hamlet called Mannings Hill to the nearby village of Sandy Lane. It was a vast undertaking, and the construction took five years.
