    Mottisfont Abbey’s history shows, quite simply, that it is a perfect place for meetings and fine dining. It has been said that Saxon freemen may have held their village moots, or meetings on this site before the Priory was built in 1201 by William Briwere, trusted advisor to Richard the Lionheart. The monks started offering hospitality about 800 years ago to visiting pilgrims. Then, in the last century, it became something of a retreat for the London social circle, which included George Bernard Shaw. Today you can continue this fine tradition of socialising in a fabulous setting, redolent with history and surrounded by beautiful gardens and parkland Corporate hospitality Mottisfont Abbey has a wide choice of distinctive rooms offering great flexibility. It is particularly ideal for entertaining guests for dinner in the Dining Room or for holding a drinks reception in the Long Gallery. Alternatively the Stag Hunting Room is the perfect base for a breakfast or lunch before going fishing on the River Test in the Abbey grounds.
