Bailiffscourt, a romantic and unique medieval-style hotel, boasts a 13th century chapel, rose-clad courtyard and gardens, an award winning spa with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, croquet lawn, tennis courts, helipad and even an underground passageway.

Set close to Climping Beach in West Sussex, the Hotel has 39 individually designed bedrooms (some with four poster beds) and cosy lounges with open fires. The house is licensed for up to 65 people at a civil ceremony and the stunning Chapel is perfect filled with candles and flowers for a blessing or romantic setting for a drinks reception.

From a vintage afternoon tea wedding to a stunning winter wedding, an intimate wedding to a whirlwind one, tell us about the wedding you have always dreamed of and we will do our best to make your dreams come true.

The hotel can also be booked exclusively so you can enjoy being the only guests with the opportunity to style the hotel as you wish.
