Caynham Court, located just two miles from Ludlow town centre, was listed in the Domesday Book, as owned by Ralph de Mortimer, in 1086.
It has been re-modelled many times since but has sat at the heart of Shropshire society for nine hundred years. The building you see today is predominantly Georgian brick, from a re-modelling effort in the 1790s but it overlays a much older stone structure.
The ancestral home of the Curtis family for generations, it was extended in the 1850s but fell into disrepair after World War Two and is now the family home of Diggory Hadoke and Claire Bosi, who have been restoring it since 2017.
Parties and Events.
The house is available for booking as a venue for small weddings, family gatherings, birthday parties, university reunions etc. Maximum capacity is twenty people.
Accommodation is informal. The house is big, with large rooms and modern en-suite facilities attached to all ten bedrooms but it is not fussy. Downstairs, the wooden floors and rugs are dog and welly-boot friendly.
Efficiently warmed by oil-fired central heating and large wood burners, guests can join the party in the main reception room, retire to read a book or take a walk over the trout stream and into the old parkland with a cigar.
We have a boot room, a laundry and a walk-in gun room, as well as a workshop, utility room and ample parking. Dining is around a huge table, seating twenty, with ease, under a lovely old plaster-work ceiling, dating from the 1790s.
Your party has exclusive use of the house and facilities while resident. We expect you to treat the place as if you lived here. No fuss, no pretence, just proper, informal, well-catered, country living.
