Bore Place House is a large country house which can sleep up to 25, whilst being homely and welcoming. A real home from home, Bore Place House features a crackling log fire as well as a large eat-in kitchen with an Aga. There are 13 cosy bedrooms, wood-paneled reception rooms and vast gardens. Dating back to the 1500s the house is full of character. With a long history of hosting groups of friends, the house is even rumoured to have been visited by Henry VIII.

The additional accommodation consists of The Small Barn, which has its own kitchen and seating areas, and The Old Stables which has a further 11 bedrooms. It also has its own kitchen, dining area and sitting room.

The accommodation is situated on an organic 500-acre privately owned estate. There is a network of footpaths and trails to explore and there is a lovely pub within walking distance. In the garden there is a campfire area, feature pond, fruit trees and large lawn, ideal for playing games.

Bore Place House is next to an organic dairy farm and is owned by The Commonwork Trust, a charity that aims to explore how to live and work sustainably, through education and programmes to support young people. We are an eco-friendly site, utilising green energy for heating and water, including fuel harvested from the estate woodlands. We are committed to minimising waste and use ethical, green products in the house.

We can also arrange for our chef to provide organic home-cooked food for your stay, much of which would be harvested from our market garden. Very large catered groups taking all of the accommodation can eat in our Large Barn which seats 50. We can also arrange activities for your group including cooking activities, nighttime walks and bushcraft.
