Well what can I say, a wonderful location and utterly amazing house and grounds. Every room was so clean and spacious, there was nothing more we could’ve needed for our stay. We were a group of 16 girls staying at Abbott’s for a special birthday. The booking was flawless and staff so helpful. I’d certainly recommend this to anyone and hope we will be visiting again very soon.

Amazing weekend at Abbots Court! It was perfect for a get-together of 5 families, with a mix of adults and children. The 9 large bedrooms accommodated us all well, with great communal areas for us all to enjoy together. Fabulous facilities with everything we needed and more, plus beautiful grounds to roam around in. Will definitely return!

We couldn’t have had a better weekend! The house is beautiful, and well thought out, everything is there that you may need. The grounds are lovely too! And the communication with Christina before and during our stay made everything so seamless. We can’t wait to stay again!

We got married at Abbots Court last October and can’t recommend it enough! Great location, beautiful venue, gorgeous outside garden area, beautiful scenery and so calming & peaceful. It was definitely our dream venue and we loved being able to spend quality time over the whole weekend with our friends & family here. Cat & Christina were both amazing and so friendly & helpful the entire way through. They always put us at ease throughout and nothing was too much trouble. They always went out of their way to meet our every need and were on top of everything which really helped to make the day and weekend flow perfectly. It was just wonderful in every way. Thank you for our perfect day & for our memories we will cherish forever. Laura & Lawrence

I photographed a wedding at Abbots Court back in October and was not disappointed. The grounds and buildings were looked after very well and all the guests were incredible happy . Everything went to time and the staff were friendly.

A simply wonderful and charming setting. We worked with Cat and her fantastic team on a wonderful New Years Eve wedding. A great time was had by all and we would thoroughly recommend considering the delightfully secluded Abbots Court for any type of wedding or event.

We got married at Abbots Court on 22 October 2022. In the lead up to the wedding both Christina and Cat happily answered our many questions. The house was amazing for the Friday evening and felt very homely. We had an incredible day and Cat was in the background quietly ensuring everything ran smoothly. The venue is stunning whether for a wedding or just a weekend. Need to find another reason to visit.

We couldn’t have had a more perfect setting to celebrate my Mother’s 60th. The host was brilliant at communicating and we felt incredibly welcome. The modern facilities, stylish interior design and ample fires (and wood!) made it feel like a home away from home. I would highly recommend Abbots Court to anyone.

We choose Abbots for our wedding venue and so very glad we did... Its like no other. The house itself is absolutely stunning and exceptionally well equipped. The latest additions to the venue (the stable and the marquee) have been both designed and built to a very high standard. Beyond the awesomeness of the venue itself those who work for Simon and James obviously care and know their stuff. Christina had her finger on the pulse throughout. You guys made our day (and that of guests!) Thank you and we can't wait for the next wedding we attend at Abbots ;)
