We serve all meals “home-style”. It’s an efficient
and flexible system which means that every one of your delegates can
sit down for lunch or dinner simultaneously. Teas & coffees are permanently
available to you. A bar can be open to your delegates at times you determine.

Retreats, Training & Courses
Buckland Hall is ideal for retreats involving personal development and transformation.
It is also well used for training events and team building. Because you can
opt for Exclusive Occupancy, you have the potential to create your own mood
and atmosphere. Buckland Hall stands within its own estate and there is no
one to disturb your programme and very little that you could possibly do to
disturb others.
Groups can use the Grand Lounge as their main social area or as a meeting
or activity space. There are six other activity rooms which can be set
up just as you need them. Some are particularly suited to body work or
for presentations or voice work.

All meals are wholly vegetarian
and we are happy to plan the menu to suit your specific needs. We aim
to use as much local and organic produce as practical.
Lunches and dinners are served to the table “home style” which enhances
the convivial atmosphere. There is a permanent tea station offering teas, coffees
(or not, if you want) as well as a range of herbal teas. Also, fresh water from
our own spring is freely available at all times – in fact, you will notice
the difference as you bathe in it.

There
are magical places within the gardens and we encourage our clients and
guests to take advantage of these areas for activities, ceremonies as well
as fun and games.
Buckland Hall is the only retreat centre with a Four-star
grading – and
it’s well deserved as the bedrooms are excellently appointed with pleasant
and simple décor. All have en-suite bathrooms. There are five family
rooms and these have an extra toilet along with the bathroom – so even
with four delegates, there is no panic in the morning. There are a total of
68 bed-spaces,
but we can provide for additional residents, if needed.

We draw our clientele from all parts of UK and
often from abroad and there are good road and rail links particularly via
Abergavenny.

Outdoor activities & Team building
All of the benefits and characteristics of Buckland Hall described above
also apply to events which feature outdoor activities for training,
courses or team
building. Many activities can be carried out within the estate. The Brecon
Beacons is renowned for its range of more adventurous opportunities and we
are only minutes from mountain hiking, abseiling, canoeing, 4x4 tracks, pot-holing
etc. If you want, we can put you in contact with specialists in the area.

Health, Well-being & Holism
For all the same reasons that Buckland Hall works so well for Retreats
(see above), it is especially suitable for courses and programmes offering
training
and treatments in complimentary medicine and holistic well-being. You have
complete control of the environment and what your clients have access to
at any time. There need be no distractions or temptations. Our staff are
expert and sensitive and provide an exceptionally supportive mood for guests
undergoing physical or emotional therapy.
You can exactly specify the menu
which could involve anything from 100% raw to juice fasting. Everything
is specified by you and we ensure that it is all
provided with seamless efficiency, but in a way that does not intrude on
your feeling that Buckland is your space.
There are spaces for your guests to relax, to have classes, do bodywork or
yoga and also four rooms that can be set up as individual treatment spaces.
Your guests will particularly appreciate the spring water for drinking and
bathing, the absolute peace and tranquillity of the mansion and the healing
power of the estate.

Weddings and Celebrations
Whatever the occasion – weddings, birthdays, anniversaries - Buckland
Hall offers a unique opportunity. Imagine having you own beautiful country
mansion and estate in which you can create your dream wedding or special celebration.
That’s the way Buckland Hall works. You have Exclusive Occupancy – no
other guests or activities on the premises – it’s just you and
your guests. Think of the freedom that offers. And, we suggest you exploit
it! Be imaginative, choose a theme, incorporate your own special ideas - we’ll
do whatever we can to make them work for you. I suppose there are limits, but
not nearly as many as you’ll find with other venues.

Grand Lounge which can be set up for up to

for sit-down banquets and our lovely oak-panelled dining room can sit 90.
All catering at Buckland
Hall is
wholly vegetarian and we aim to use as much local an organic produce as
practical. We will happily discuss and plan the menus for your entire
stay with us.

One of the most attractive aspects of a celebration at Buckland Hall is having everything under one roof – e.g. ceremony, reception, banquet, party and accommodation. At the end of a night of conversation and revelry, you and your guests just have to climb the stairs. And, you get to enjoy the Bridal Suite with its four-poster bed and huge whirlpool bath.
Family & Community
Get-togethers
Perhaps, you are looking to hold a family or community get-together or reunion,
but not necessarily with all the splendour and pizzazz of a wedding or
other celebration. Buckland Hall is perfect for you. Gather everyone under
one
roof and just relax, have fun or hold your own programme as you like. You
won’t disturb anyone and no one will disturb you. Children are welcome
and are under your care and supervision.
You won’t have any work to do. We’ll handle all the catering and cleaning, but, as much as possible, we keep out of your main social and activity areas so that you feel totally at ease.
We can sleep up to 68 guests in
beds, but we can provide extra mattresses and bedding, if needed.
Mansion Facilities
You’ll enjoy walks and activities in the estate or
go for trips and excursions to experience the sights and adventure of the
Brecon Beacons. Even if it rains,
the mansion is so large that no one minds.
