Cowdray House on the Cowdray Estate in West Sussex, is an extraordinary place to stay. The estate is home to the Cowdray family, and is world-famous for being the center of British polo. The estate has welcomed royalty from all over the world, including our Queen and Prince Philip.
The house is beautifully suited to entertaining of the highest manner, and welcomes both private and corporate guests.
There are 22 bedrooms in Cowdray House, all en-suite, and accommodating up to 44 guests. Each room is very well appointed and most overlook the gardens and rolling serenity of the South Downs.
The reception rooms include a dining room (seating up to 60), a library, morning room and drawing room. Both the drawing room and library open onto the front terrace – perfect for drinks before dinner.

Words cannot describe how fabulous Cowdray House is. We were lucky enough to hire the house for our wedding weekend in May and the team there especially Erin could not have made us and our guests feel more welcome. They did so much to make our weekend the most special time for both us. So much so that our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the venue and the team were, they didnt want to leave. The house is gorgeous, the grounds are stunningly breathtaking, it almost felt like a destination wedding as we were lucky enough to have such great weather. In terms of the event, everything went without a hitch thanks to the meticulous planning of Erin the team at Cowdray House. It was without doubt the most fantatic weekend and if you are looking for a wedding venue or you are planning a special occasion you should definitely consider Cowdray House. We would also like to thank our Florist Karen from This Floral Life. The flowers that she created for us for the ceremony and wedding reception were stunning, really outstanding. Karen and her team were so helpful and very creative we were over the moon, thank you Karen. Overall 5 stars are not enough!

Went go Cowdray house for a light show. Was a fairly decent trail, definitely worth the ticket price. Had lovely food and drink stalls half way to take a break and warm up.

Had a beautiful stay last weekend. Whole house to ourselves. My nephews wedding reception held there. Beautiful building beautiful rooms food excellent surroundings breathtaking .facilities second to none staff couldn't do enough for you. The Americans were impressed and the Scots guests were delighted with the service they received.. would definitely return we were lucky with weather too which was great for pictures. The bride and groom savannahs and Alastair went away on honeymoon knowing they had the best day of their lived and so did their families.

Unbelievablely beautiful venue. Just breath taking. Views from all aspects of the house and just a wonderful blend of old and new in every aspect of the decor. Attended a wedding as a bridesmaid and was honestly made to feel like royalty by the staff. Truly unforgettable experience in an unforgettable venue.

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone at Cowdray and the events team for really pulling together an incredible event and experience for us at Cowdray House, it really couldn’t have gone any better and we even got the weather to top it all off. Thank you for making the event run as it did and helping us plan before hand, being flexible and allowing us to create an incredible retreat for our guests. You made it really feel like a family & friends environment which is so important to us whilst your team had a very professional back office & organized manner which is really hard to get the balance of both, but you guys really did and it showed over the two days. Thanks again!!! It was an incredible few days and the feedback from all guests has been overwhelming.

Cowdray House is the most fantastic and beautiful venue to have a wedding. We have just got married on 19th March 2022 and we cant thank the Cowdray team enough.

We just wanted to share what a great experience we had working with Cowdray House. Our Pink Daisy Photographer Caitlin and Videographer Moritz had the privilege of capturing a lovely wedding here for our clients Sophie and Tom. This is a stunning backdrop for your wedding photography. The bedrooms are gorgeous for those 'getting ready' shots, the grounds are stunning, and Buck Hall is a gorgeous room for your ceremony and reception . You can see from our photos below! If you are considering Cowdray House for your wedding we highly recommend you book! Happy wedding planning :) x Paige - pinkdaisyweddings.com

Im the co-founder of Bodhimaya Wellness Retreats and we regularly run retreats at Cowdray. We hire several Estates and large venues around the world and I have to say this is our favourite place to run retreats. The ethics of the Estate and their commitment to holistic principles really come through in every aspect of the work they do - the farm shop, the house, the hall and every other aspect of the Estate. Our guests are very discerning and have very high expectations both in terms of service and luxury; Cowdray House does not disappoint. The level of luxury, comfort and style is unsurpassed. Whether for retreats or corporate events, you simply can't find a better venue.
