Description

Whether you are looking to host an intimate gathering for 15 guests or a larger reception for up to 150, you will find a truly spectacular venue coupled with all the warmth of a family home at Cowdray House. Buck Hall with its vaulted ceiling, arched minstrels gallery and splendid fireplace takes centre stage at the heart of the house, and is ideally suited for the wedding breakfast. Drinks receptions can be held on the manicured croquet lawn with far reaching views of the South Downs or in two elegant reception rooms – the Library and Drawing Room – which open onto the front terrace. Buck Hall, the wood-panelled Dining Room, and the Summer Pavilion are all licensed for civil ceremonies. The house has 22 lavish bedrooms – each individually designed with opulent bathrooms with stunning views across the 110-acres of private gardens and parkland. Additional accommodation is available at the Lodge, which can accommodate 16 guests, and four pretty holiday cottages that sleep 13. In addition to this are two recently refurbished luxury holiday cottages, Challens Yarde and Apsley Cottage. Guests can enjoy the amazing facilities when staying at Cowdray House including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, bowling alley and tennis court. There is also the opportunity to make use of the activities on the wider Estate from a round of golf on the 18-hole championship course, to fly fishing for brown trout on the River Rother, wildlife tours and clay pigeon shooting. Cowdray is the home of British polo and the sport is played throughout the summer months. Lessons and tickets to polo matches can also be arranged.

You really are the dream team.
Thank you so much, we had the best day and have had so many compliments on everything. From the venue itself to all of the amazing Cowdray staff, you really are the dream team and a beautiful, unique venue! Erin & Amelie, we’re obsessed with you - nothing was too much trouble, you made the whole stay so lovely! You have so much more patience than us 😆 & special mention to the lady who helped with breakfast both mornings, she was so lovely, though I didn’t get her name!

Thank you for such an incredible wedding.
Thank you and the whole team at Cowdray so much for such an incredible wedding. We are so happy we chose to go with Cowdray - the people and house itself were outstanding and have been commented on by so many people! We would also like to thank you personally for guiding us so well throughout the process (even on split second song choices!!). You did an amazing job at calming us - we always felt like you had everything under control!

What a wonderful day we had!
Just a quick message to say what a wonderful day we had on Saturday. We couldn't have asked for more. We were so pleased we could get married in such a beautiful setting and the weather was kind to us too. Your staff were absolutely amazing, they couldn't do enough for us and worked really hard to make our day go exactly as we wanted it to. I was bowling in my wedding dress at 2am!! A really wonderful day. Please pass on our thanks to all the staff, we were genuinely very sad when it was all over but have some wonderful memories.

We felt incredibly well looked after
A huge thank you for making our day at Cowdray so perfect. We felt incredibly well looked after from the very beginning which made the whole process so relaxing and enjoyable – two things I was worried don’t normally happen at your own wedding. Cowdray House truly was a spectacular venue one which will forever be treated in our memories. Thank you for everything you all made it so perfect.

We're so glad we chose Cowdray to host our wedding
Firstly, we want to say a huge, huge thank you again for everything you did to help make our wedding day such a fantastic day. We could not have asked for more than the service you and your staff provided, and it goes without saying that you were all such a massive part of making our day so special and run so smoothly. Our guests - especially our parents - could not stop singing Cowdray's praises. Thank you so much again. We're so glad we chose Cowdray to host our wedding!
