Introduction
Space and tranquillity set amidst hills and woods in
1,400 acres.
The private home of the de Lisle family and
extensively restored, Quenby Hall, a Grade 1 listed
building, is now available for exclusive hire.
Nestling between trees on top of a hill, the house
can only occasionally be seen amongst the
surrounding countryside. It retains a discreet
quality all it's own.
The approach to Quenby is breathtaking as the house
presents itself dramatically as you round a bend up
the half-mile drive through the front park.
The setting of Quenby is perfect for weddings,
providing both romance and a sense of scale yet in
beautiful rooms which provide a sense of warmth and
intimacy. While you are here, we aim to ensure that
you feel that the house is yours.
It is not open to the public and because Quenby is a
family home we limit the number of events throughout
the year. All clients have exclusive use of the
house and will have the peace of mind that another
client won’t be leaving just as they are arriving.
