About us

The house was built in the 19th Century to be a family home – a safe place of love and belonging. Since then it has been a school, a nursery, and in recent decades a venue where countless people have declared their love for one another in their wedding vows, surrounded by support and celebration as they begin their new lives and often new families of their own.

The importance of family at Cleeve House is highlighted in the charitable aims of the trust that is now responsible for the venue. There are countless events here that celebrate the family including retreats and camps for small children, teenagers, and larger family events where all generations cook together, play together and enjoy relaxing together in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.

With celebrations and gatherings for every kind of family event – from naming ceremonies, birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries, retreats and celebrations of life – Cleeve House is steeped in the values of family, togetherness and love.

Our other main focus as the management team here is to take care of the beautiful historic building and ensure its longevity, allowing Cleeve House to continue to provide wonderful memories for special moments, from celebrating Christmas with colleagues, holding a wedding or taking part in a yoga retreat. All things are possible here at Cleeve House and we want to keep it that way for years to come.

We are also proud of our commitment at Cleeve House that all revenue is ultimately reinvested into the upkeep of this special, noble house and its beautiful grounds. With our dedicated team and long term vision we are proud to continue the story of Cleeve House, ensuring it can stand for many more years like the magnificent oak trees that stand in the grounds.
