PRIVATE CELEBRATIONS

Your Milestone, Your Way

Birthdays, anniversaries, celebration weekends and family gatherings. The whole house, exclusively yours.

HOSTED FROM THE START

From first conversation to final goodbye.

Planning can begin as early as you need, with the details shaped gradually as your stay comes together.

  1. 01

    PLAN TOGETHER

    We get to know your group, your dates and what you want the stay to feel like, then shape the practical details around you.

  2. 02

    ARRIVE

    Rooms ready, spaces prepared, dietary details covered and a warm welcome waiting. Your group can simply arrive and settle in.

  3. 03

    STAY PRESENT

    Chefs, hosts and practitioners work together behind the scenes, so you can focus on your guests rather than the logistics.

  4. 04

    HEAD HOME

    We take care of the final breakfast, departures and last details, so the stay ends as smoothly as it began.

This is how an agreed hosted stay can feel. Chefs, practitioners, breakfast service, transfers and additional support can be arranged to suit your group, with any separate charges confirmed in your proposal. Full wedding planning is not automatically included.

A Stay Made Yours

A Ladyburn celebration can be as relaxed or playful as you want it to be.

For this private pre-wedding weekend, the group mixed movement and wellness with cocktails, a themed evening, food and plenty of time simply being together.

That’s what we love about celebrations at Ladyburn. There is no fixed formula. You have the house, the grounds and the space to create a stay that feels completely your own.

From yoga and spa time to private dining, cocktail experiences, themed evenings and long conversations around the table, we can help bring the different parts of your celebration together.

Come for the occasion. Enjoy your time at Ladyburn.

TIME TOGETHER

Gather the Generations

Milestone birthdays, family anniversaries, reunions, a return to Scotland with the whole family.

With nine beautiful en-suite bedrooms, everyone can stay under one roof, sharing meals, stories and special moments, with plenty of space to come together or enjoy a little time apart.

IN THEIR WORDS

Celebrations to Remember

Kind words from those who've gathered, celebrated and made memories at Ladyburn House.

We had the most amazing stay at Ladyburn House! From the moment we booked, the communication from Nenah was fantastic she was so helpful and made everything so easy. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and finished to such a high standard. They have truly thought of everything, with so many little touches that made our stay even more special. It was spotless, beautifully presented, and the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away. We had the best time and made so many lovely memories. I would recommend Ladyburn House to anyone looking for a luxury getaway, and we will definitely be back. Thank you Nenah for such an amazing weekend!

THE SMALL THINGS

A robe ready. The heating on before arrival, and the fire lit before everyone gathers. An itinerary quietly adjusted when the weather turns.

It is rarely one big gesture. It is the small things, noticed and taken care of before anyone needs to ask.

EVERY ROOM. EVERY STAY.
