Where history & hospitality meet
Welcome to Burton Court, a historic house mentioned as hugely enjoyable in Simon Jenkins’s award-winning book ‘England’s Thousand Best Houses’.
Burton Court is a family run enterprise that offers a truly unique location for a wedding, a private or corporate party, a conference, a product launch or film work.
Lt. Cdr. & Mrs. Robert Simpson and family extend to all visitors a very warm welcome.
Accommodation
We have two bedrooms available for Bed & Breakfast guests looking for a relaxed setting for weekend getaways, change of scenery, sports or cultural events or for family occasions. We will have a third bedroom ready in the future.
Arrive through large gates and up a sweeping drive to a magnificent mansion. You will receive a welcoming, homely feel as a guest, overlaid with an unmistakable historic grandeur. Admire the fine cantilevered staircase as you ascend to one of the fabulous comfortable bedroom suites.
House & Gardens
Like many great houses Burton Court has evolved over the centuries into what it is today. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book the Manor of Burton (literally means fortified dwelling place) has a long and fascinating history stretching over the last 900 years.
Burton Court has been mentioned in the intermittent skirmishes between the English and Welsh since medieval times. It was here that Henry, Prince of Wales (later Henry V) stationed his troops to watch over the movements of Owen Glendower in 1402. More recently Queen Mary had afternoon tea here with Lady of the Manor and didn’t take her gloves off when eating her cucumber sandwiches.
