We chose Chenies for our August wedding not only because of how utterly gorgeous it is but because of our accommodating and helpful the staff (particularly Boo) were. On our initial tour of the house and gardens they answered all our questions and put us at complete ease. It was so beneficial having the days before and after to put everything out and tidy up at no extra charge. It was also so nice having the entire venue to ourselves for the whole day. On the day itself the staff were brilliant. Lucie in particular (the wedding coordinator) was extremely helpful - would very much recommend having her to help out! They had everything we needed, and we got so many positive comments from guests about the amazing setting. A truly magical place that we can't wait to revisit!

We got married at Chenies Manor House on 6th July 2025, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we first visited, I fell in love with the venue, particularly the stunning gardens and the peaceful atmosphere, and I knew this was where I wanted us to get married. The weather on the day was a bit unpredictable, and we weren’t sure if our ceremony would be indoors or outdoors (we were hoping for outdoors!). Boo and her amazing team made sure both spaces were set up so we could make a last-minute decision. Thanks to their thoughtful planning and flexibility, we were able to have the outdoor ceremony we’d dreamed of. From the very beginning, Boo was incredibly patient and kind, answering every question we had, whether it was through my countless emails, phonecalls or face to face meetings. Her support throughout the planning process made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The gardens at Chenies Manor House are absolutely breathtaking. They added such a magical touch to our day, and our guests were in awe. Many told us it was one of the most beautiful venue and ceremony they’d ever seen. We’re so grateful to Boo and the entire team at Chenies Manor House for helping us create such unforgettable memories. If you’re looking for a venue that’s absolutely breathtaking, with a team that truly cares, this is the place. Thank you so much and we hope to visit the gardens soon! Hina x

I often photograph weddings at Chenies Manor and I absolutely love it! It’s such a stunning venue. It’s great that you can get married inside, outside or in the church next door. The gardens are beautiful (particularly the dahlias) and there’s a perfectly situated field for sunset photos. Love it!

We held our wedding at Chenies Manor in August and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. From the very first visit, we felt welcomed and supported by the team, and our experience in the months leading up to the wedding only reinforced that. Boo and Paul were incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating throughout the planning process, always ready to answer questions, offer guidance, and make us feel at ease. Their warmth made a huge difference, especially with a toddler in tow, and helped us feel truly cared for as a couple. The venue itself is breathtaking – the historic charm, beautiful gardens, and thoughtfully curated interiors made every moment feel magical. On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly, from the opening drinks reception to last orders at the bar, and it was a joy to see our friends and family so comfortable and happy in such a stunning setting. Chenies Manor is more than just a beautiful venue – it’s a team that genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to make your day special. We will always look back on our wedding there with enormous gratitude and fondness, and it will forever hold a place in our hearts.

Very pretty house and gardens (lovely looking Dalihias), very well maintained grounds despite how hot and dry it's been. A lot of people, but it didn't seem overcrowded (except the cafe where there were long cues but staff did their best to keep it moving). I think it may have just been for the Bank Holiday weekend, but they had a bunch of actors and musicians milling about with the visitors. They were in Tudor royal court (Henry VIII, etc) attire to add to the atmosphere, and we're happy to chat in character, play period music and arranged a dance in the gardens.

I love Chenies Manor House & gardens, it is well cared for and the gardens are stunning. The owner and his staff are all lovely, helpful and friendly. However there was a downside on our latest visit. I paid for 2 afternoon teas ( in advance as you have to) at £46 and when it arrived I was extremely disappointed and even asked if it was meant for 2 people. I got told yes. We had to share the platter, I have never had to share before. I had earl grey tea and was not even offered lemon or milk. Simply black tea. Food was dry and the cake was cut into tiny squares. There wasn't even £20 worth of food on our plates let alone £46!! Not value for money at all or even really edible . We left quite a bit of it. Totally spoilt our experience and it was for a birthday treat 😔 zero stars for afternoon tea

A historic mansion, lovingly restored since the 1950s to be a home. Quite the home! A room where Queen Elizabeth I stayed, a 600-year old tower, secret passages and tales of ghosts. Beautiful gardens, regardless of whether you tour the house, and a nice coffee shop with a selection of delicious cakes (we tried 4, all excellent). The lovely guides in each room were friendly and full of stories, eager to answer questions. Oh - and the gardens are dog friendly! When we were there, they had a dog show so we got to see all the good boys and girls, which added extra charm. Finally, if you get a chance, see if the door is open at the church. From inside, you can peer into the strikingly beautiful chapel for the Duke's family, which has amazing carvings and tombs - a quietly moving place, reminding us of our mortality.

We visited with Candy Tours today. We very much enjoyed our afternoon at the Manor House. It was lovely to be greeted by the gentlemen of the house and our tour guide was very friendly also. The house and gardens were beautiful, and despite being a large house, it felt very cosy. There were so many wonderful little touches, decoration and buildings we enjoyed. There is a lovely tea room, it was great to sit outside amoungst the flowers and enjoy the sunshine. There is also a gift shop where we picked up a few goodies. I would recommend it.

We got married here in the Summer and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting. It is stunning whether you opt for an indoor, outdoor or church ceremony. I also loved how we didn’t need to double use a room and allow for ‘turn over’ time as it made the day flow so well. The venue also has a considerable amount of extras that you need for the day that they’re able to supply which is a life saver! We also met our wedding planner through the venue, who was absolutely perfect and made the day run exceptionally smoothly, had plenty of vendors to offer and was on hand for any and all enquiries. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and we really couldn’t have asked for more.

Lots of special events. Would be worth a visit anytime. But it's used as a TV and film location so you might be able to save on travel and just watch horrible histories instead.

I recently attended a wedding at Chenies Manor House, and it was absolutely magical! The historic charm of the manor, combined with the stunning gardens, created a perfect backdrop for the celebration. The marquee was incredible, featuring a spacious dance floor that kept the party going all night. The attention to detail was impressive, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. If you're looking for a breathtaking venue for a wedding or civil marriage, Chenies Manor House is an outstanding choice!

We hosted our wedding reception at Chenies Manor this July, and had the most wonderful day. The venue is stunning, and we had so many compliments from our guests about the lovely gardens. Boo, Michelle and the rest of the team were so helpful and accommodating in the run up to the big day. Thank you!

This place is open only on Mon and Tue, 2-5pm. House £12, only garden £7. For the house, it's recommended to book tickets online ,and if the same day you'd like to visit, they advise you to do so before 1 pm. To visit garden and lovely cafe you can also just drive and pay by the gate. There's big parking and separate for disabled people. Garden accessible with pushchair. Grass is amazing there so the little ones can run and crawl. Beautiful gardens. It's not too big place but very well maintained. Toilets clean. Nice things in the shop with reasonable prices.

We visited this amazing house with my mum. What a wonderful time was had. Our tour guide Avril was very informative and friendly. The house itself is spectacular and the gardens stunning. We had a lovely afternoon tea and had to box up some of it as there was so much. We are going to return again to reality check out the gardens again very soon. A lovely historic informative afternoon.

Chenies Manor House was the venue for our wedding, and everything was absolutely incredible. The house is beautiful, and full of history, it is worth a visit just to see it and stroll around the gardens. Throughout the wedding process they were extremely helpful, allowing us to visit the house and meet with their team several times, helping us to make decisions that best suited our perfect day. Though we did not choose to use their wedding planner, she and the owners helped move things and set up on the day, and were amazing for anything we needed, including providing light for us to cross the dark village at night and helping us adapt when our ceremony was suddenly interrupted by rain! We had access to the manor all day, and the afternoon before and morning after which was really helpful for setting up and packing up. We also used some of the recommended suppliers that Chenies provides, who were also fantastic.

Stunningly beautiful historic english manor house, gardens are meticulously maintained, the owners are directly involved in the management and upkeep of the property which means that everything runs like clockwork. I would recommend sticking with their regular planners and supply chain for events.
