Arrive and settle
Arrive from 2:00 pm, unpack and settle in. A relaxed welcome supper.

PRIVATE CELEBRATIONS
Birthdays, anniversaries, celebration weekends and family gatherings. The whole house, exclusively yours.
HOSTED FROM THE START
Planning can begin as early as you need, with the details shaped gradually as your stay comes together.
01
We get to know your group, your dates and what you want the stay to feel like, then shape the practical details around you.
02
Rooms ready, spaces prepared, dietary details covered and a warm welcome waiting. Your group can simply arrive and settle in.
03
Chefs, hosts and practitioners work together behind the scenes, so you can focus on your guests rather than the logistics.
04
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 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.

IN THEIR WORDS
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.
GOOD TO KNOW
Ladyburn House is ideal for intimate private celebrations including milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, special weekends with friends, reunions and other meaningful occasions. The estate is exclusively yours, with nine en-suite bedrooms, generous communal spaces, private grounds and optional dining, wellness and curated experiences. We take time to understand the style of celebration you are planning so we can make sure Ladyburn is the right fit.
Private celebrations are normally based on a minimum two-night stay. Longer stays are very welcome, particularly for milestone events, family gatherings and celebrations where guests are travelling from further afield. Your proposal will be tailored around your dates, group size and plans.
Yes. For private celebrations, your group has exclusive use of the main house, gardens and guest facilities. There are no other resident guests sharing the property. Nenah and James have their own separate private accommodation on the estate and may be on site during your stay, close by if you need us. The main house, the gardens and the wellness spaces remain entirely yours.
Ladyburn House sleeps up to 18 guests across nine en-suite bedrooms. Five bedrooms can be configured as either super-king or twin rooms, which makes the house flexible for families, couples and groups of friends staying together. Up to two fold-out beds can be arranged where appropriate. Within the standard 18-guest occupancy, a fold-out bed costs £50 per bed, per stay. For an additional guest beyond the standard 18, a fold-out bed costs £100 per bed, per stay.
Yes, additional daytime guests can be considered depending on the style of celebration, spaces being used, catering arrangements and overall guest numbers. Please tell us your expected daytime and overnight numbers when enquiring so we can recommend the most suitable setup.
Yes. Ladyburn has its own trusted private chefs who work regularly at the house and can create everything from intimate dinners and family lunches to brunches, celebration meals and special occasions. Menus are tailored around your group, the style of your event and any dietary requirements, and we coordinate the catering with you as part of your stay. Other food experiences can also be arranged, including afternoon tea, wood-fired pizza evenings, BBQ-style dining and other curated food options. Explore Gather & Feast.
Yes. Ladyburn’s seasonal Garden Pavilion can be added to eligible celebrations subject to season, installation dates, availability and weather conditions. It works beautifully for private dining, drinks, workshops, celebrations and relaxed gatherings in the grounds. The Pavilion is not automatically included with every house booking and is quoted separately where applicable.
Yes. Ladyburn’s outdoor pizza oven can be booked for a relaxed wood-fired pizza evening during your stay. The pizza oven is chef-operated and must be arranged in advance. It is especially popular for celebration weekends because it gives guests a more informal evening between larger meals or events.
Yes. The ceremonial fire circle is available to residential groups and can be a lovely way to end an evening together. It works particularly well for relaxed gatherings, reflection, storytelling or simply spending time together outdoors. Use is always weather and safety dependent.
Yes. We can help arrange a wide range of optional experiences for private celebrations, including:
Tell us the kind of celebration you are planning and we can help shape the experience around your group. Explore Curated Experiences.
Yes, external suppliers can be considered with prior approval. Ladyburn also has a trusted network of chefs, therapists, musicians, facilitators and other suppliers who already know the property. Any external professional supplier must provide appropriate Public Liability Insurance and, where relevant, PAT certification or professional qualifications before attending the estate.
Suitable celebration weekends can be considered by prior enquiry. Ladyburn is best suited to groups looking for a stylish, relaxed and respectful celebration rather than a high-volume party-house experience. We review each enquiry individually to make sure the plans are appropriate for the property, grounds and surrounding area.
Yes. Family celebrations and multi-generational stays are welcome. Travel cots and highchairs can be arranged, although cot bedding is not supplied. Because Ladyburn is a country estate with a burn, pond, woodland and uneven terrain, children must be appropriately supervised.
We can welcome one dog by prior arrangement only, at £100 per stay. Please tell us when you enquire.
Ladyburn is a private country estate with neighbouring farms, homes, livestock and wildlife, so we ask guests to be considerate of the surrounding area. For general private celebrations, outdoor noise and music should be kept to a respectful level from 10pm. Where a larger agreed event is taking place, specific timings will be included within the booking arrangements.
No. Fireworks and similar loud outdoor activities are not permitted because of neighbouring farms, livestock, wildlife and noise considerations.
Yes. There is ample complimentary private parking within the estate for residential guests. If your celebration includes additional daytime guests, suppliers, or larger vehicles, please tell us in advance so parking can be planned appropriately.
Ladyburn is primarily an exclusive-use residential venue, so private celebrations are normally built around an overnight stay. This allows your group to enjoy the house, grounds and experience fully rather than treating Ladyburn as a short event-only venue. Please enquire if you have something specific in mind.
Yes. Ladyburn works particularly well for milestone birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings because everyone can stay together under one roof, with nine en-suite bedrooms accommodating up to 18 guests and sharing arrangements for larger groups. The house has multiple lounges, a large dining room, extensive grounds, the Wellness Spa and optional catering and experiences, so the stay can feel both sociable and relaxed.
