Edmund's Choice of Extraordinary Feature

“Bessingham was rescued from demolition; the restoration won a conservation award in 2014, and you can feel the care in the small things – sweeping staircase, four-poster beds, slipper baths. The Mews next door means you can split a large group between the formal manor and somewhere a bit more relaxed.”

I went to this place and I loved it

Ian Ballantyne

We hired Bessingham Manor for a Spy-themed Stag Do over the weekend and it was perfect! The large kitchen, dining room and outdoor benches were ideal for catering for 16 guests (we used the large BBQ). The bedrooms were spacious with plenty of bathrooms and ensuites and with the hot tub, pool table and table football the group had plenty to do between activities. We organized a casino evening and the space was perfect for it. The large grounds, expansive parking made the venue feel relaxing and private. It’s ideal for big groups and we would recommend it for hosting events.

Had a great few days at the manor celebrating a 60th birthday. Lots of space inside and out. Excellent kitchen facilities with plenty of everything. Nice rooms most with en suite, there were 24 of us. Would go again and probably will.

Felix Vivere

A fantastic place for a weekend house party. We were there for a wedding and it was ideal to accommodate lots of people. The venue is ideal, comfortable without being shabby. Smart but not so smart you didn’t want to wumph onto a sofa. I certainly recommend it! The discovery of human remains would have been a surprise just outside the back door between the trees, but fortunately there were none.

Karen Payne

Our 3rd visit, hopefully we’ll be back next year.

Stephen Murphy

Amazing house for a large family gathering that the kids described as Downton Abbey. Loads of en-suite rooms for the adults and many more rooms for the kids. It is very well equipped for large meals and seating both indoors and outdoors. A large jacuzzi. Extensive garden for ball games. Overall the best place that my large extended family of 22 people has ever stayed in over 10 years of having an annual family gathering. It is 15 mins drive from several beaches and towns. Pubs nearby too. I highly recommend this manor house for a large gathering.

S F The Land Hunter

We stayed in the Mews which is part of it. It’s a beautiful place that has been done up to a superb standard inside. We stayed there for 3 days and enjoyed every min. Only suggestion would be to have further TVs as only one TV in there which can cause grief when families all want different channels on. But great place and some fantastic history behind it as well.
