Intro text

A renowned retreat in Buckinghamshire

De Vere Latimer Estate has an intriguing story to tell, with the first mention of a manor house at Latimer recorded as early as 1194 AD. The estate was then passed down through families of English nobility, before becoming a top secret centre for military intelligence during World War II, where it gained its name as one of Britain’s most secret homes.

Today, the hotel has undergone a £7m refurbishment to add 21st-century comfort and style whilst complementing the original character of the property. You’ll find a blend of bold modern spaces and elegant suites that set the tone for memorable events and unforgettable weddings alike.

De Vere Latimer Estate is situated just 10 minutes’ drive from Junction 18 of the M25 and 5 minutes in a car or taxi to Chalfont & Latimer station from where the Metropolitan Line will take you into central London. We’re also close to Heathrow and Luton airports – and just 20 minutes away from the world-famous Warner Bros. Studios Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter..

When you want to take some time out to unwind, our collection of bedrooms await, with many now fully-refurbished to reflect the revival of British heritage design. Or explore our peaceful formal gardens and 30 acres of grounds, with sweeping views of the Chess Valley. There’s also a fully equipped gym and indoor swimming pool available daily for guests to use.

Free, superfast Wi-Fi with a maximum bandwidth of 1Gb is available throughout the hotel and up to 100m within the grounds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very clean. The staff at reception are very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. All the staff were eager to make our stay a memorable one. In particular Immy who looked after us at breakfast on Sunday and for Sunday lunch is an excellent ambassador for the hotel, her demeanour is very pleasant and we were made to feel very welcome when celebrating a birthday for a family member. An exceptional dog friendly hotel with plenty of lovely walks around the grounds.

Our company had an event here and the managers petkov and Cristian were very kind and took good care of us, the hotel itself is amazing with a great view of the countryside which is a breath of fresh air compared to the polluted city. All in all the venue is beautiful and the food at the bar is great and so are the chefs that make it.

We chose this venue to celebrate our wedding anniversay. It turned out to be a very good choice., since this was a very enjoyable experience. The staff helpful, the room was immaculate and the surroundings peaceful and idyllic. To cap it allm we we given a complimentary pudding when we dined in the hotel’s restaurant.

Went for a wedding reception and stayed overnight. Lovely place, attentive staff, excellent breakfast. We had an immaculate double room behind the main reception. Comfortable bed, AC at a pleasant temperature, excellent shower. Grounds are beautiful too. Would be back in heartbeat.
