Steeped in history and set in the magnificent acres of rambling parkland known as Bestwood Country Park, the site was first mentioned in the Domesday Book and was the preserve of King Henry I as a site for royal hunting. King Charles II granted the space to his son in 1683, the Duke of St Albans, whose mother was the infamous Nell Gwynn. With its many unique features, Bestwood Lodge was designed by the famous Gothic revival architect S.S. Teulon and completed in 1863. With its oak-panelled walls, vaulted ceiling exposed beams and an enchanting minstrels’ gallery, The Gothic Chapel is perfect for civil ceremonies or intimate wedding receptions. The Ballroom has a beautiful Victorian interior with high ceilings and elegantly draped windows, which makes it the ideal setting for seated wedding breakfasts for 70 to 120 guests. Its large terrace, which overlooks the country park, is a perfect setting for reception drinks and those all-important wedding photographs. With its charming décor, hand-painted ceiling and Gothic arches, The Parkside Restaurant imbues a warm and elegant atmosphere. The Foyer Bar, with its oak-panelled walls and grand open log fire, is ideal for drinks receptions inside or on the terrace overlooking the rose garden and stunning parkland.
