Kingscote Park House has an affinity with wedding celebrations and romance.

Edward Jenner, the inventor of the small pox vaccination, was an avid hot air balloonist. One day he set out from Berkeley Castle in his balloon to explore the beauty of the Gloucestershire countryside and the Cotswold Hills. His balloon started to lose altitude and landed in the fields at Kingscote Park. The Kingscote Family set off to see the commotion that was happening and when Edward and Katherine Kingscote met it was love at first sight. They were later on married and the Regency House was built as their dower house and is now known as Kingscote Park.

Our Brides and Grooms and their families enjoy relaxing in the House prior to their wedding ceremony and the house itself was recently licensed for civil marriages and commitment ceremonies

Kingscote Park House is a welcoming private family home with stunning views over the gardens and parklands out of every room. Each room has been beautifully decorated in an informal and relaxed way; there is an extensive post impressionist art collection throughout the house.

Most people make themselves at home in the gorgeous country kitchen and dining area, which overlooks a walled kitchen garden, that provides relaxation and outdoor dining during sunny days. The library music room provides an eclectic and large collection of music. For a bit of fun, roll out Geoffrey’s juke box, select your favourite golden oldies and enjoy a trip down memory lane. Our warm and comfortable reception rooms are a perfect place to relax and unwind with accommodation for up to 16 guests in the 8 elegant bedrooms – 6 doubles and 2 twins.

‘I think our guests were overwhelmed by the beauty of Matara and the surrounding countryside, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
All those that stayed in the house fell in love with it’
Andrea & Simon

In addition, the Regency gate house has just been renovated into a single, open plan suite with lots of skylights, set in its own Japanese inspired tea garden and makes a perfect bridal suite complete with SuperKing Bed and a Jacuzzi Bath.

The House and Lodge are available for special family celebrations.
