Pennyhill Park is a country house hotel in Bagshot, Surrey, that runs residential meetings, conferences and company dinners for groups of 10 to 280. The hotel states a venue-wide capacity of 196 delegates in theatre layout, 160 in cabaret, 72 in boardroom and 280 for formal dining, with 124 bedrooms and suites on site.
Seminars and company events
The business offer is built around residential stays. Delegates sleep, work, eat and unwind on one estate, which suits a two-day board seminar, a leadership retreat or a training program. The hotel lists around 20 meeting spaces, from a 200-person suite down to rooms for ten. Outside the sessions, the grounds offer nature trails, tennis, croquet, archery and golf, and an outdoor activity meadow, so a team session can be built into the schedule.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel also hosts weddings, and its website carries a dedicated weddings section. Ask the team for ceremony options and guest numbers for the wedding rooms, since the business pages do not detail them.
Rooms and capacities
The Balmoral Suite is the largest room and holds up to 200. The Library takes up to 96. Windsor and Eton combined hold up to 80, Sandringham up to 70, and Water Iris up to 50. Parkview seats up to 40. Buckingham and Stuart each take up to 32, while Kensington and Water Lily take up to 24. Tenzing holds 14.

Accommodation
There are 124 bedrooms and suites, each individually designed with its own bathroom. For a residential program, that is enough to house most groups under the 196-delegate theatre capacity on site. A spa of about 45,000 sq ft with more than 20 treatments and a gym is available to guests between sessions.
Catering
The hotel has three restaurants, a terrace and a pool view bar. Private dining is available for up to 280 delegates. Latymer, in the oldest part of the house, holds a Michelin star and five AA Rosettes. Hillfield serves farm-to-fork cooking and Themis offers Mediterranean dishes in the spa.
History and setting
The house is a 19th-century, ivy-clad country house in 120 acres of parkland and ancient woodland. It is operated by Exclusive Collection.
