Luxury in the heart of Nottinghamshire
A House with History
Built in 1678, Cockliffe Country House was originally the meeting place for Woodcock hunting.
The Seeley family bought the estate in the 1900’s, which became their hunting lodge for their visiting guests; King Edward VIII and Winston Churchill. Colonel Jack Seely, son of Colonel Frank Seely, became the Secretary of State for War who rode his war horse, Warrior, into battle during the First World War. This is where we can read the infamous story of Warhorse today.
When the Seeley Estate liquidated in 1948 the house became a private house before it was turned into a Heritage Centre open to the public.
In the early 1990s Cockliffe Country House became a successful Hotel which started to host special Weddings and Events.
Finally, in 2015 Heritage Estates, owned by Jon-Paul and Charlotte Davies, bought Cockliffe Country House. Undergoing a large refurbishment, Cockliffe Country House is now the most idyllic place to host your wedding or event. Offering complete exclusivity, the venue and its stunning, serene grounds are all yours for the day.
Proudly independent
A message from the owners
Built on the success of our other venue, Kelham House Country Manor we purchased Cockliffe Country House in 2016, immediately starting a comprehensive scheme of works to enhance and preserve all the beautiful things about such a historic venue.
Since 2021 we have been focussed solely on pre-booked, exclusive use weddings and events and we are quickly becoming one of the most in demand venues in the Nottingham area.
Our team look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful venue.
