"We chose Middle Aston House for our annual leadership summit specifically for the onsite conferencing facilities. The 'no distractions' environment was perfect for deep work, and the staff handled our technical requirements seamlessly. It’s rare to find a venue that balances professional utility with such a restorative setting."
Aidan HR & Operations"I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate my 50th birthday. We hosted a formal dinner in the dining room followed by drinks on the terrace. The fact that my closest friends and family could all stay overnight in the guest rooms made the celebration feel like a proper weekend getaway rather than just a party."
Diane"The outdoor space here is a game-changer. We utilized the extensive grounds for a series of team-building challenges in the morning, then transitioned into the meeting rooms for our afternoon strategy session. The flow of the day was perfect, and the catering kept the team going as well!"
Jess People & Culture Officer"What stood out most to us was the flexibility. It didn't feel like a 'conveyor belt' wedding venue; it felt like our home for the weekend. Being able to have our closest friends and family stay on-site turned a one-day celebration into a three-day reunion. Waking up to the quiet Cotswold views and having breakfast together the next morning was the perfect way to start our lives as a married couple."

"Our wedding at Middle Aston House was everything we hoped for and more. Having the entire manor and the grounds to ourselves made it feel like a private country retreat. Getting married with the lake as our backdrop was breathtaking”
