I want to express my thanks to you in allowing us to use your wonderful grounds for our Chamber awards 8th June 2006.
The setting was spectacular and your fantastic home provided us with a backdrop to be envied. I know my guests thought the same judging from the many complimentary comments that I received, and I’m sure you did too.
I would also like to thank Simon, Kathryn and their exceptional team for providing outstanding support to my own team. We simply couldn’t have done it without them.
Finally, I would like to thank you for allowing Lynne, Wendy and myself to use one of your bedrooms to change in, we all greatly appreciated that gesture.

Many, many thanks for helping to make our 2006 CHA Independents' Day such as success. Sally, Michelle and Sam, in particular went out of their way to ensure that the event ran as smoothly as possible. Please pass on our thanks and best regards to everyone involved.
Birtsmorton Court lent itself beautifully to the event, with plenty of space for delegates to complete the cookery challenges and the Marquee conveniently located for Lunch. We have already received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from delegates, who praised the venue for the quality of the facilities, the food and the overall organisation of the event.
Many thanks to you and your family for welcoming us and providing such an excellent and personal service, which helped to make our day so memorable. We have a tough one to beat next year.!

Thank you so much for hosting the Warwickshire CLA AGM yesterday – 1st June 2006 and I know you are doing the Worcestershire one today! - and for making us all so welcome. I did enjoy seeing your lovely home and garden – and as soon as I got home I was encouraged to take the hoe to the Vegetable Garden and to mow a Lawn.
The whole day had a very relaxed and pleasant feel to it – mainly produced by the atmosphere at Birtsmorton Court.
I hope the business of wedding and other events continues to flourish – it certainly deserves to. Your staff looked after us very well and provided an excellent Lunch. Please pass my thanks on to them.

Thank you very much for organising such a splendid time for us today at your wonderful home and estate. We all so appreciated the tremendous welcome, the super tea and being shown round the house and gardens by Rosalie. It was fantastic.
The entertainer worked so hard and entertained so well that we all really forgot about pressing problems that our clients have for an afternoon.
There must be good in experiencing the PEACE of the gardens and being near water, surely?! The White Garden, as one of our older members said, is most romantic!
We wish you both every success with your work, ventures and projects now and in the future – we do appreciate the kindness shown to us by your staff.

The RUSI Malvern conference has now been running for five years. It is an event that has grown significantly over this period and is now considered one of our showcase events.
We started searching for a venue in the early part of the year, viewing venues in the area, Birtsmorton Court stood out immediately as the venue for our main conference dinner.
The beauty of this fantasic country house speaks for itself, but in addition the personal service provided by Simon and Kathryn Dawes was exemplary.
The size of the event, a seated dinner for 240, did not deter them in the slightest. They proved to be incredibly helpful and resourceful both in the lead up to, and the running of this event.
Every request was accommodated and they both went out of their way to make this event that extra bit special and unique.
The delegates thought it was fantastic and the usual RUSI crowd are very hard to please!
