A very special venue for a very special day.
De Vere Latimer Estate is located within 30 private acres in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Buckinghamshire.
The very secret, 18th century mansion house has one of the most attractive views over a chalk stream in the Chess valley, rich in wildlife and with a long and fascinating history dating back to Roman times.
Built to impress, in the 19th century it became the property of Charles Compton Cavendish who, in 1858 became Lord Chesham of Chesham, and following a £7m refurbishment, your wedding day will be an experience that you and your guests will remember forever.
Surprisingly it is only located five minutes away by car from Chalfont and Latimer station which is on the Metropolitan tube line, offering direct links to Baker Street and BR’s Chiltern line connecting into London Marylebone.

February 2025We had a wonderful time during our recent stay at De Vere Latimer Estate. The room was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and made for a very comfortable stay. The reception and bar staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming – nothing was too much trouble for them and they made sure we felt well looked after throughout our visit. Overall, a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

February 2025Absolutely loved my stay here! Second time here, really comfortable stay and the service was as ever, above and beyond. Huge thank you to James and Erin at front desk, who were so warm and welcoming! The food here is of exceptionally high quality and care; both dinner and breakfast. Thank you to Larissa for making me a coffee this morning; it was just right and exactly what I needed! Lastly, a huge thank you to Sarah for taking such care of me! I really enjoyed my stay here!

February 2025I had a wonderful stay at De Vere Latimer Estate. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant experience. Their friendliness really stood out and made the stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast options were fantastic, offering a great selection of hot and cold choices. Everything was fresh and well-prepared, and the variety ensured there was something for everyone. It was the perfect way to start the day. The estate itself is in a beautiful setting, with stunning views and lovely grounds to explore. The building has a lot of character and charm, though some areas do feel a little tired and could use a refresh. However, this didn’t take away from the overall experience, and the history of the place adds to its unique appeal. Overall, my stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The combination of friendly staff, great food, and a beautiful setting makes De Vere Latimer Estate a fantastic place to visit. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent service.

January 2025Got severe food poisoning from the buffet dinner they served us from King’s College this past weekend. My colleague found hair in the beef she was eating. I didn’t appreciate the staff (outside of one gentleman & one woman at main registration) because they were more concerned with charging me with dry toast & still water than being of assistance considering my circumstances. They did allow me to check out late which was kind, but I was being hassled about leaving and a man came to my room only to ask when I’m getting out. The room was nice and bed was comfortable but outside of that, this estate is somewhere I won’t ever return to or recommend. From a place that prides itself on service, I feel it could have been a lot better & cleaner.

February 2025Paid extra for a deluxe room in the mansion house to celebrate 5 years anniversary with my wife. Imagine my shock to see that my country side mansion view is of the back wall of the bar and an extraction fan. The fan is as loud as a hairdryer and goes on all day until 22:00. After complaining about it, reception falsely told me that it switches off at 18:00. With a few exceptions from the team, the overall service was also poor. Beautiful mansion and surrounding area but don’t count on them for a special occasion.
