Is Jessop House Hotel Still Open? The Hotel Inspector Update

Jessop House Hotel in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, was the third episode of series 4 of The Hotel Inspector. ShowsPlus and TVDB list it as airing on Channel 5 on 2008-07-24. According to ShowsPlus, host Alex Polizzi inspected an eight-bedroom hotel close to Tewkesbury Abbey whose website presented it as a charming boutique townhouse, and the synopsis described trouble both in the business and between the owners. Wikipedia's list of The Hotel Inspector episodes gives the location as Tewkesbury. The hotel's website, viewed on 2026-10-19, describes a historic Georgian town house close to Tewkesbury Abbey with pages for rooms, prices, renting the whole house, food and drinks, business guests and a gallery, a booking button, and contact details by email and telephone.

It carries a 2026 copyright line, but the page metadata showed the site was first published in June 2017 and last modified in 2019, so the 2026 date alone is weak evidence of current trading. The site does not name the owners or mention the television programme. A Google Places record lists the business as Jessop House Hotel at 65 Church Street, Tewkesbury GL20 5RZ, and showed it as operational in the data collected on 2026-10-19.
