Barley Wood Reviews (9) Write a review Beautiful Venue Venue Service By Joanne, on 04 Mar 2020Date of Wedding - 29 Sep 2018 What a special find! We first saw Barley Wood on a murky day in December at a Christmas Market they were holding and we knew straight away that it was the venue for us. The spaces work so well; we opted to get married indoors and the orangery/garden room was perfect for this. The bedrooms are fantastic, especially the first floor ones, and were a huge selling point. We really enjoyed being able to host our families for two nights. Tracey, Amie and Gary were all incredibly helpful, nothing was too much trouble but equally they were great at melting away and leaving us to it. It was brilliant to feel like this was 'our house' for the weekend, if only we could have stayed longer. I wish we could do it all over again!Holly Piper , Sales and Events Manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 07/03/2020 09:44:15Thank you from all the team at Barley Wood! We are thrilled you had the best time! Congratulations again and please do stay in touch. It is incredibly beautiful and magical Venue Service By Ellie, on 21 Sep 2017Date of Wedding - 13 Sep 2017 We first visited Barley Wood on a cold January day, and straight away knew it was a special place. Amie made us feel welcome, and we went away knowing it was the place for us (despite it being the first venue we visited!) It is incredibly beautiful and magical. You have everything you would need for your wedding, and more!! Our whole weekend was incredible and we have so many special memories and hope there will be opportunities to always return to Barley Wood. However, what really makes it are the staff and values. We loved that it was run by the YMCA and it didn't feel like a 'wedding factory'. Amie was so helpful, all the way through and her and Tracey were an amazing help. They really can do anything! Gary was fantastic on the day, making sure everything ran smoothly and was all in the right place. I could go on and on! Barley Wood will always be an important place to us and we hope it never changes!Holly Piper , Sales and Events manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 30/03/2020 21:33:53Thank you for your amazing review. Thank you everyone! Venue Service By Jennifer, on 19 Sep 2017Date of Wedding - 05 Aug 2017 A very heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Barley Wood for helping to make Carolyn and Chris's wedding the most spectacular weekend. Gary, thank you in particular for all your help and for always being at hand in the background if anything was needed. I'm so sorry for waking you to find out where my car keys were! All the guests told me how kind and helpful you were and it was fascinating to hear some of the history of the building. We hired Barley Wood for 3 days and it is the most immaculate, beautiful, perfect place for a wedding celebration! Some of our guests, best men and the Groom stayed over and were extremely comfortable in your beautifully refurbished rooms and bathrooms to die for! Other guests were in tents on the lawn! We were able to decorate the house as we wished, cooked in the kitchens and felt very much at home there. All our guests and the Bride and Groom had a wonderful time! Thank you. The Italian garden was the perfect venue for the barbecue on Sunday and the views are spectacular.Holly Piper , Sales and Events manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 30/03/2020 21:35:12wow sounds like a fabulous weekend!

Barley Wood is beautiful Venue Service By Vicki, on 18 Jul 2017Date of Wedding - 08 Jul 2017 Barley Wood is beautiful and should be the number one choice for anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue. The house is set in beautiful grounds with amazing views. The function rooms are well laid out and beautifully decorated, perfect for a wedding and reception. The bedrooms are large, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Aimee, Gary Megan and Tracey are amazing, were always on hand willing to help and do whatever they could do to make the weekend perfect. I can not say enough good things about or recommend Barley Wood highly enough. I just hope that I get the opportunity to return someday.Holly Piper , Sales and Events manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 30/03/2020 21:38:16Thank you for your lovely words and please do visit us again! Thank you Venue Service By Mark, on 18 Jul 2017Date of Wedding - 08 Jul 2017 We just don't know how to recommend this venue enough. Our daughters wedding this weekend at Barley wood was outstanding in every way, everything fell into place made easier by the hard work and help from the Barley wood team. The charming house is so calming and peaceful, the grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the "can do" attitude of the staff is equal to none. We feel very privaledged to have been able to use this amazing venue for this important occasion, and the feedback we are getting from the guests that attended has made us very proud and pleased that we chose you.Holly Piper , Sales and Events manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 30/03/2020 21:41:28Thank you for your kind words and we are thrilled that it all went so well. If we could, we would do it all over again! Venue Service By Patty, on 18 Sep 2017Date of Wedding - 13 May 2017 We had our wedding in Barley Wood in May this year and it was absolutely wonderful! The staff was SUPER helpful and accommodating from day one (when we visited the venue for the 1st time), throughout all the planning and on the weekend of the wedding. We went to see the venue for the first time in July and Gary showed us around and explained us how the venue works... we got the venue solely for us, for the whole weekend! ceremony and party in the same location, and 2 whole days to enjoy, options for inside or outside, no corkage and no set providers (we could have whoever we wanted, or even cook ourselves, which we did on day 2 with a BBQ for close friends and family ). All of this in a breathtaking location, wonderful grounds and beautiful and spacious house (which would accommodate our family for the whole weekend).... We decided on it almost instantly as we were so taken with it, and we don't regret it a bit! We had such a good time there, the guests loved it, and our family -who stayed in site with us for the weekend- couldn't be happier! (very important as most of them travelled from overseas to join us)... If you are looking for a beautiful and versatile venue in the country side, where you can be free to really create your event the way you wanted, I would definitely recommend you have a look at Barley Wood! You won't be disappointed... and once if decide on it, you'll have a lovely, hardworking & helpful team behind you, and a gorgeous venue.Holly Piper , Sales and Events manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 30/03/2020 21:36:17Thank you for your wonderful review. Barley Wood is simply the most stunning venue Venue Service By Laura, on 18 Jul 2017Date of Wedding - 08 Apr 2017 We visited the house when it was still being renovated and knew instantly that this was the venue for us. Amie, Gary and the rest of the YMCA team were beyond helpful in the lead up to our wedding day and made sure that everything ran seamlessly on the day itself. Our dream was to have a wedding day tailored to reflect us – we were keen to use a caterer we already knew, alongside a list of suppliers we had chosen. We couldn’t have found a more perfect venue for this. Achieving our dream was made possible by these lovely, accommodating and hardworking people. Amie ensured that every detail of the day was organised and all the suppliers came together as a team. Gary and his team worked tirelessly in the lead up to the wedding to make the grounds and house perfectly preened. They also worked behind the scenes on the day to make sure guests were greeted and suppliers knew where to set up. The ability to stay at the venue all weekend was an incredible bonus and meant that my bridal party and I could have a relaxed wedding morning. Every single bedroom in Barley Wood is beautifully decorated and our family and friends all raved about their stay. It honestly felt like we were staying in a luxurious holiday home for the weekend. We will continue to rave about this flawless venue and will hopefully find an excuse to visit again soon! Thank you!Holly Piper , Sales and Event manager at Barley Wood responded to this review on 30/03/2020 21:39:58Thank you for your amazing words about Barley Wood.
