Chiseldon House Hotel hosts meetings for 6 to 120 delegates, residential conferences, private dinners and small weddings in a Regency country house near Swindon, Wiltshire. The hotel can also be taken in exclusive use for a business or wedding party. Three meeting rooms, a restaurant, gardens and a walled courtyard give an organizer a choice of formats on one site, a few minutes from the M4.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day delegate packages, residential conferences, team building days and product launches. The official site presents the house as a setting for a small, discreet meeting as well as for a larger gathering, within three acres of gardens. Exclusive use for business is offered, which suits a leadership retreat or a launch that needs the whole house and grounds to itself. Walking and cycling routes around the hotel are listed for team activities. Package details are given on request.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are organized as exclusive use packages, with the hotel closed to other guests for the day. The Borelli Room, which keeps original features from the 1820s and looks onto the garden, is used for ceremonies. The summerhouse and courtyard allow an outdoor ceremony in summer. Two intimate packages are listed, one for 15 guests and one for 30, together with an evening reception option. The meal can be a formal wedding breakfast with a master of ceremonies or an informal hog roast or barbecue.
Rooms and capacities
The Marlborough Room takes 6 to 10 delegates. The Barbury Room takes 12 to 20. The Borelli Room takes 20 to 60. The restaurant holds 70 to 120 delegates and is the largest space. The site does not give theater or banquet layouts, so confirm the setup for your format when you enquire. The gardens, a terrace and the courtyard extend the space in good weather.
Accommodation
Guests sleep in Standard, Executive and Feature rooms. The site does not state the total number of bedrooms, so ask for the count and the dates available before you fix a guest list. Residential conferences include overnight stays, and wedding guests can stay under the same roof.
Catering
