Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. The venue staff went above and beyond - big shout to Ellie who ensured the whole day went smoothly. The food was amazing and so much of it!!! Every member of staff was so friendly and really made our day special. I can’t thank everyone enough!

We cannot recommend The Moat and their team enough. Everything from start to finish was seamless and so easy, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better day. We had a twilight wedding, which a lot of people don’t realise you can do! We’d looked into it years ago and knew straight away that it was what we wanted, and the whole day was absolutely perfect. The food was incredible. We had the one-course BBQ and our guests genuinely haven’t stopped talking about it. I just wish I’d actually eaten more of it myself! 😂 Aimie and Ellie were absolutely amazing from the moment we booked right through to the day, and Roslyn too! Sadly, we did end up having some rain on our wedding day, the one day of summer it decided to show up 😂 which meant some last-minute changes to our photos and where I got my dress on. Ellie was fantastic at organising everything and made the whole thing completely stress-free. Carl, the DJ, was an absolute blast too. We gave him our list of do’s and don’ts and he absolutely smashed every request. The dance floor was never empty! We could go on and on about how amazing our day was and how stunning the venue is. We’d happily do it all over again with these guys in a heartbeat. ♥️ Thank you so, so much for giving us the best day ever. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more! ♥️

Great venue, beautiful room with its own exclusive outdoor area. Both areas recently refurbished. The wedding coordinator was amazing from start to finish, flexible providing for our wants & needs. All staff were amazing on the day. Food was brilliant, great comments from all our guests on the quality of food. Accommodation was beautiful and of a high standard. I would highly rate this venue as a choice for wedding venue and wedding reception.

There are simply no words to describe how special our day was at The Feathered Nest. It was really important to us that our wedding felt authentic and personal, and we were keen to avoid a “cookie-cutter” experience. From our very first meeting, the whole team completely understood our vision and were incredibly supportive throughout the planning process. The day itself ran seamlessly and exceeded all of our expectations. From drinks with our nearest and dearest the night before, to getting ready on the wedding morning in the beautiful on-site cottage, followed by a stunning intimate ceremony on main lawn, the most incredible wedding breakfast (which our guests still haven’t stopped talking about), and an unforgettable party, every moment was perfect. We truly could not have asked for a more magical place to celebrate our wedding and cannot recommend The Feathered Nest highly enough.

Don't think I've ever danced so much in my life! Loved how intimate it was, everyone was nearby so I got to see all my guests properly. The staff were absolutely lovely and so helpful. The DJ you provided as part of our package was fab, didn't bat an eye at our more unconventional song choices and got everyone moving. Oh and the food was so good. Those roast potatoes!! I dropped one on my dress and the gravy stain still reminds me of how good that food was ?? Wish I could do it all over again

My wife and I had an incredible wedding at The Mill and we want to thank Conor and all of the team for doing such a lovely job with preparation and on the day support! We couldn't be happier with how the day turned out, and we will relive it in our minds for a long time to come! I also want to say a huge thank you for being so accommodating with the food allergies and dietary requirements of the group, it was appreciated that we could meet all of our guests needs. We would have no hesitations in recommending The Mill to others planning their wedding ceremony. Hope to see you in the future as we pop in at some point. Take care all, Heather & Jade

We very recently held our Wedding at the Red Barn and it’s hard to express in words just how much of an amazing day we had. We fell in love with the venue last December; the character and rustic charm of the main room with the beams and fireplace creates such a warm and relaxing atmosphere, with the beautiful Christmas decorations up it is simply magical and we knew instantly this was where we wanted to get married. So many people commented on how beautiful the room looked and how wonderful the venue was. We want to say a very heartfelt thank you to all the staff at the Red Barn for making our day so memorable. A special thank you to Marilyn who took over our wedding planning 3 months before the day; she was truly fantastic, warm and friendly and super organised!! I knew the first time we met that I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing, she made the whole day stress free and to be honest everything just flowed and I didn’t have to get involved in a thing! I have to also say very well done to Ferri the chef and all the kitchen team, the food was absolutely fantastic! (another reason why we chose this venue in the first place) and everyone praised it – especially the individual beef wellingtons which were tender and cooked to perfection. We wish the Red Barn all the success in the future and we fully recommend the venue to future couples looking for their dream venue, we will be seeing you soon!

We hosted our wedding reception at Papillon in April 2026 and we had the best day of our lives. The whole day felt extremely well organised, and it all went very smoothly. We were especially impressed with all of the staff on the day – they were really friendly and helpful, allowing us to enjoy our day, with the odd request for extra cocktails and emergency coffees thrown in! We both felt very relaxed during the day, knowing that things were going smoothly, and everybody was enjoying the day. The food was exceptional - everybody was more than satisfied with the portions, and it was all delicious. We hosted a jam session as our evening entertainment on the stage downstairs - this was so much fun, and we were very impressed with the general sound and stage setup – the groom playing guitar on our wedding day is a memory we will cherish! Communication prior to the wedding was also very professional and thorough - Tommy and Ellie both dedicated lots of time to us via meetings, emails and phone calls in the build up to our big day. We felt like everyone was very organised, and they gave us confidence that the day would go well, and were very accommodating to our queries and specific requests we had for the wedding. Overall we are so happy that we chose Papillon for our wedding reception, and we will always cherish the memories we have of our big day!

Our day was simply perfect from the start to the very finish!! Imogen, Tom and their team were so attentive and were literally thinking of things before we even had a chance to ask. Venue was stunning, their flexibility helped us to ensure every detail was perfect for us. They assisted with moving chairs, flowers, props from the ceremony room through to the wedding breakfast room and we didn’t have to think about a thing and we’re just able to thoroughly enjoy our day. The food was absolutely delicious and we had so many comments from our guests in the quality. Was touched by the personal touch we had from Imogen and Tom throughout and felt like nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to you all for making our day so special!! Xx

From the first viewing of the venue we were made to feel so welcome and at ease. Such a stunning little venue. So many guests commented on what a wonderful pub it is. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. We are the simple fun filled day here and it is lovely we can visit regularly and know that we got married there. The room for the overnight stay was super lovely.
