Perfect for intimate wedding with rustic feel!

We fell in love with this venue upon seeing it for the first time and knew we had to get married here. It was perfect for small rustic wedding but also caters for larger weddings too. The owners are friendly and approachable and curated our perfect day. Communication was difficult before the wedding with us having the chase after having received no response. Although this stressed us, it felt like the owners were very busy and overloaded rather than ignoring us. It would have reduced our stress to have a specific wedding co-ordinator to contact whose responsibility was solely weddings.

That being said, we couldn't fault the day itself. IIlana who managed the day was great and very reliable as was Josh who managed the bar. Everything went seamlessly and didn't feel too rushed or too stagnated. The food was delicious and very hearty portions which is something you don't get with other venues. The cottages felt very homely and people who stayed enjoyed their time there. The only thing would be the lack of blinds in the bridal suite, meaning it was very bright for sleeping.

Overall, we really loved our wedding at this venue and wouldn't change a thing on the actual day.

The perfect day in the perfect venue

I can't begin to thank you for such an amazing day. It really was so special. Everything from the beautiful venue, to the yummy food and wine, to the decorations and beautiful setting (Especially for my photos) added together to make it a truly memorable day. The peacocks were an added bonus. Nick and the team looked after us so well from the first initial enquiry through to the lunch the following day, they covered every little details and thought of everything, we felt extremely lucky to be so well looked after and they really took the stress out of a big event for such an important occasion. We loved it so much that we booked it again for my husband and my 40th and also for my daughters christening. An absolute gem of a place to be lucky enough to have access to. Thank you sooo much
