Our Family Home For You
Pauntley Court is painted a reddish earth colour, reflecting the iron-rich soil of the area, and curled around a central courtyard, it glows rosily in the evening sun, surrounded by munching cows and sheep, its only neighbours, The Dovecote and the Norman Church.
About us
Mark and Melissa, were married at Pauntley Court in 1996 and their 3 children were christened in the church. They took over the running of the estate from Melissa's mother in 2008 and have continued the restoration each year, culminating in launching as a wedding venue in 2019. Mark and Melissa are very excited to be welcoming you to this romantic and unique place.
Our Ethos
As a family business, we love nothing more than to welcome couples and other families to this wonderfully warm, characterful and special place.
​Melissa will always meet every couple and show them around the house and gardens giving them the history and many interesting facts about the house over the last 800 years. She is passionate about Pauntley!
