GROUP BOOKINGS & MENUS

We are happy to welcome groups of all sizes to Coton Manor throughout the season. Garden admission is offered at a reduced rate of £8.50 for members of a group of 15 or more. To enquire about arranging a visit please email pasleytyler@cotonmanor.co.uk

We have a large grassed car park situated just across the road from the main entrance with plenty of space for coaches. If you have any elderly or disabled members of your group please advise the coach driver that they can draw up to the main gate to allow passengers to disembark before the coach is parked in the main car park.

For groups who are working to a strict timetable or if you prefer to eat as a group we would suggest ordering from our special menu shown below. Tables will be reserved in our Groom’s Cottage and lunch will be served at a pre-arranged time – the Groom’s Cottage is not available to the general public and is for the exclusive use of groups. (The prices below are inclusive of Garden Admission to help group organisers). 

Alternatively, The Stableyard Café serves a variety of light lunches, teas and snacks throughout the afternoon if you do not wish to order as a group. However, please note that tables cannot be reserved in the Cafe and as all food is prepared to order lunchtimes need to be staggered throughout the course of the lunchtime period to prevent lengthy queues and frustration! 

In fine weather, customers can sit outdoors in the Stable Yard under a large, black walnut tree, or in converted stables when it is wet or cold.

Photographers

Tripods and monopods are no longer allowed in the garden. Recently we have been inundated by people with tripods and have decided to operate a ‘no tripod’ policy as we feel they can be imposing and detract from the enjoyment of the majority of visitors. Coton Manor is a private property and we reserve the right to restrict photography and entry to the garden in this way. We are very sorry for any inconvenience. None of the photos on this website were taken using a tripod.

To protect the tranquility of the garden and the safety of our visitors drones are not permitted at Coton Manor.

Please note:  we do not allow photo shoots of any type at Coton Manor. This has become an increasing problem of late and as a result of inconsiderate photographers sadly we now have to refuse all requests.
