About Bury Court
Your dreams, our pleasure
A family who live here, a team who've stayed for years, and a barn that's seen a few centuries.
A little bit about us
Easy to visit, impossible to leave
Welcome to Bury Court, in person or online. We're a small team with a clear idea: make Bury Court the most idyllic and interesting place you can imagine. Our aim is simple. We want it to be easy to swing by, and impossible to leave.
Family-owned
Our home is your home
Bury Court is a family business, not a hotel, a chain or a corporate group. The family lives here on the estate, and some of our key team have been here more than 20 years. So come in, and make yourselves at home.
The barn
Built in the 17th century
The barn dates from the 17th century, and it saw major changes in the 19th. A previous owner ran an opera season here every year, which is why it sounds so good today.
The gardens
Somewhere between heaven and earth
The courtyard garden is by Piet Oudolf, a leading figure in the new perennial movement, made with the late John Coke. The front garden is by Christopher Bradley-Hole, a leading minimalist landscape designer.
Andrew, our horticulturist and head gardener, has looked after them for many years and keeps developing the gardens and the estate. He even manages to stop us pulling up important plants we think are weeds.
The kitchen
The Good Life
Our in-house team at The Good Life cook food that's as tempting as it is creative. Their mixologists pour wines, spirits and cocktails that leave guests a little giddy and keen to try something new.
We're lucky to have such a dedicated team, who put so much of themselves into every event. Without them, no one would feel the magic of Bury Court.
