We often receive nice feedback but this one is so lovely we just had to share it in its entirety! Thank you Tara, we’re so glad you had a great 40th birthday celebration at Escot.

“I would like to say a massive Thank You to everyone at Escot Estate . Last weekend, I held my 40th birthday party there, and the staff on the day, and in the lead up to the party, couldn’t have been any more helpful.
It’s such a beautiful house, with nature-filled grounds, and an interesting history. So many of my friends and family commented on how helpful the staff were, and how much they enjoyed exploring and using the grounds.
We had 2 Devon Contemporary Marquees in the gardens (thank you Tom and team for those) for animal encounters and garden games, and the children loved running around the garden (and I loved watching the bees and butterflies go from flower to flower).
We took over the library and dining room for an afternoon high tea (really yummy), an evening disco and photobooth and an evening chill out zone. We took over the entrance hall for the evening food (which was so delicious). We took over the front room for board games, photos, puzzles, and lego. Every space was used, and the staff there made setting up, moving around, clearing up so easy.
Everything about the place is so local, well thought out, sustainable, working for nature…very in line with my thoughts and values.
Thank you so much Escot House team for such a lovely day.”
