Corporate Team-Building, Retreats and Events
Battisborough House is not only open to residential school trips, it’s the perfect location for corporate team building weekends, wild swimming or yoga retreats as well as being an idyllic venue for parties, events and weddings.
Corporate Team-building and meetings
Whatever you need a meeting space for, Battisborough House may well suit your needs. Battisborough House provides a relaxed, spacious Victorian building with spectacular views out to sea. We also offer full catering on site including a range of catering options, so you can supply colleagues with snacks, refreshments, lunch or even a dinner after a hard day of training. If your meetings are longer than a day and you need somewhere to stay, we can also offer accommodation.
To enrich your training event or team meeting, a fun activity to break up the day and encourage team-building skills can be organised. Delegates can relax and unwind with a swim on the beach or a walk along the winding South West Coast path.
As well as the rooms within the house the Old Pottery building located close to the house provides a separate space for larger groups to meet. It is suggested that you bring your own IT equipment.

Every couple’s ideas for their big day are unique, at Battisborough House. Make your wedding an unforgettable experience, enhanced by spectacular coastal scenery and ample accommodation. Whether you have 30 or 130 guests Battisborough House provides the most picturesque location for your wedding day.
The centrepiece of this charming venue is the hallway with its wood-panelled walls and minstrels’ gallery. The hall offers an indoor location for your ceremony giving a magical feel for that special moment of ‘I do’.
Large weddings will require the additional hire of a marquee, while a smaller wedding party can be accommodated within the house using the dining room and reception room. There is even accommodation on site for up to 24 guests, some ensuite and some dormitory style giving the option to stay and enjoy the environment before or after the event.
Guests can walk around the grounds, to the beach or simply relax and enjoy the view out to sea.
This truly unique destination has provided happy couples with the perfect venue for their big day.
Celebrate a special birthday or anniversary
Over the years the house has provided many families with a location to get together with friends to celebrate their special events. Make a long weekend of it and accommodate them in ensuite rooms or dormitory-style rooms – ideal for cross-generational parties. If numbers grow for the day of the event a marquee can be erected on the driveway giving space for an all-weather option.

Swimming Retreats
If you are a wild swimmer and want to do some superb sea swimming straight from the house – you have it on your doorstep!
