Bore Place is a sustainable venue situated on a 500-acre organically managed estate. At the heart of the estate is a Jacobean manor but there are a variety of buildings which are suitable for all sorts of groups and training. The gardens and situation are what make this hotel special as is it's commitment to sustainability and the flexibility that is offered to the guests.

Overnight costs start at approx £50 per person per night. We also offer full catering options and day delegate rates as well.
Energy
In the past ten years, we have reduced our carbon emissions by 55%. We now generate 45% of our energy needs through our wind turbine, photovoltaic panels and managing our woods to provide woodchip for our heating and our hot water for our farm and buildings.
Water
We manage and process our own waste water and sewage biologically so it can be reintroduced straight back into our streams.
Waste
We choose carefully what we buy to avoid and reduce waste, and we reuse, compost and recycle waste wherever possible.
Food
We farm organically and are committed to eating organically and seasonally, not just because it is beneficial for our wellbeing but because of the wider impact on the environment. 90% of the food we serve at Bore Place is organic.
Transport
We provide electric car charging and encourage car sharing, cycling and minibus assisted public transport access to Bore Place.
Biodiversity
We actively manage our woodlands, ponds, field edges and hedgerows to promote wildlife, and to support our protected species, particularly great crested newts and bats. Our organic gardens and wildflower meadows are bee friendly and attract a range of wildlife. Our walking trails across the farm and our gardens enable people to visit and experience our biodiversity.
Fully accessible parking, toilets and showers as well as as step free access into our buildings. Please get in touch for more details.

The Venue Booker is a fantastic service, not only finding the best venue for my event but the constant support throughout the build-up and event itself. Professionalism throughout with great communication. Nothing was too much hassle which made the process effortless! Highly recommend and will be back in the future!

Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
Richard Rodger, Hailsham Chambers
Morning Jenny! Everything went very well thank you and the venue was a huge success!! Thank you so much again for finding such a gem! I am still getting lovely emails now so a big thank you for all your support Jenny!! I have been singing your praises all week!
Sarah Grant, GKN
I'd be pleased to recommend Jenny, The Venue Booker. I knew our request was going to be a tall order but she rose to the challenge, negotiated some cracking rates and retained her patience and professionalism despite some spectacular dithering at our end!
Kelly Austin, Expedition & Wilderness Medicine
"I recommend using the venue booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, jenny made my event possible. I would use the venue booker again. "
