We stayed here recently, the house and room we had were both amazing, and the family was incredibly generous and friendly, they were super helpful. There's loads of things to do locally and it's nice to remember England as it was. Highly recommend this place.

We stayed at Burton Court for 2 nights at the start of August and we were overwhelmed by the stunning house and the luxury of the rooms. Edward and Helen are so warm and welcoming, they make you feel at home and are really happy to talk to you about the history of the house and the incredible antiques in every room. We had a really special stay and everything was done so well. Breakfast in the grand dining room was fantastic. We even got a tour of the old cellars under the house which was a really interesting and unique experience. We'll definitely be returning to Burton Court in the near future

I attended as part of a wedding party. The wedding was held on the outdoor terrace surrounded by lovely flowers and with a spectacular countryside view. Everything was well organised. What a great place to get married.

We had our wedding here on the 12th Dec 2020 and it was incredible, we literally can not thank them enough for all they done to make this the most wonderful beautiful magical day for all of us. Truly wonderful family the most kindest people that will help make it perfect. Such a relaxed atmosphere, you actually feel nothing could go wrong as it's just so carefully planned and thought out. We loved every minute of the day so precious.
