Jane Sent on 22/01/2026Best Day Ever!
From the moment we arrived the night before the wedding, until we left the day after the wedding, the whole team was professional, attentive, and truly outstanding. We were made to feel so cared for and completely relaxed throughout.
All our guests raved about the food, even the chef guests! Everyone including vegans was catered for to the highest standards.
There genuinely isn’t a single thing we would change about the day — we just wish we could do it all again. Thank you to Carrie-Anne and her team. -

Where do we start? We booked our wedding day over two years in advance but boy did those years fly by!
I found the fleece here on hitched scouting out venues. We love a rural vibe so we decided we would make a day of it, we contacted Carrie and team to book a viewing. After she gave us a tour, talked us through what our day could look like, the package types - we slept on it for one night and booked it the day after. You need to see the fleece to fall in love with it! The views, the cosy vibes, gorgeous food and lovely staff make it.
From initial booking, Carrie and the wonderful coordination team made the plans running up to our day a breeze. We were simply told what was needed, everything was so well thought out.
The food was incredible and everyone looooved the food!
There are so many great things about this venue, I wish I could list them all. If you’re thinking about going to a fleece open day or to go view it with your fiance, definitely do. The package costs vary, however you won’t regret a penny spent - we don’t! It was so worth it to have everyone we love in one room, well fed and watered - with plenty of seating areas and space for dancing!
Lastly - the staff are so wonderful. The lovely coordinator who moved the screen to help me get my aisle timing right, Carrie and the coordination team - a million thank you’s. The lovely card from you all was so kind.
Huge thank you to the front of house team, chefs, coordinators and fleece management - Lauren & Sam Xx

The venue is just so amazing. Its cosy and has so many hidden spots for the couple photos. The food is amazing and every guest was complimenting it afterwards. The views are insane and make the best photos. I can't recommend this venue enough. What really makes it special though is the team - Carrie-Ann is there every step opf the way and on the day the staff were amazing and were able to help with any last minute questions! -

Our Wedding Venue 😍
When we got engaged, we started looking at different venues and open days and although the Fleece didn’t have an open day when we started looking, Carrie-Anne was quick to reply and offer to show us round privately.
From the moment we arrived, we felt like this could be our wedding venue. The surroundings and the views alone are stunning!
After meeting Carrie-Anne and seeing the venue, we went home and could not stop thinking about it. We had viewed other venues as well but none gave us the same feeling. Once we booked our wedding, it was so easy for us. The team at the Fleece provide an excellent wedding package that by no means is the same for everyone though! They were able to accommodate wishes that we had and even helped us to make the day more personalised and special. Every time we had any questions, we were able to contact the team and got responses quickly. We asked for an additional meeting and that also was not a problem. Because of the team at the Fleece, the whole planning process felt pretty stress-free.
On the day, the team couldn’t have done a better job! From giving us time checks beforehand, to last minute setting up some music for our entrance after the ceremony nothing was too much trouble. Everyone had a smile on their face and was so helpful and kind. The food was incredibly and all our guests commented how beautiful the venue was and how polite and great the staff were! To any engaged couples out there, we could not recommend the Fleece Countryside Inn enough! What a beautiful setting, amazing food and the most caring staff!
Being able to stay at the venue that night with our family was a bonus, knowing there was no journey after the wedding and enjoying breakfast all together as newly weds was beautiful. We wish we could do it all over again!

Alicia Sent on 01/11/2025What an amazing venue!
We had our wedding here at the start of October and we could not have picked a better venue. The ivy outside had turned the most gorgeous red, all the guests commented how stunning the views were, and the rooms looked fantastic!
All the staff were friendly and professional, and Carrie-Anne was always on hand during the planning process and made sure everything was thought of!
The guests that stayed over all loved their hotel rooms, and breakfast was freshly cooked the next morning.
If we could do it over again, I’d choose the fleece. And we can’t wait to return for our anniversary! -

We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the staff at The Fleece for everything they did to make our wedding day, on the 12th September 2025, run so smoothly. Your attentiveness, professionalism, and cheerful, calm approach made all the difference, not just to us, but to all our guests.
From start to finish, you helped create a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. It was clear how much care and effort went into every detail, and we're so grateful for the part you played in making the day so special.
Thank you again for helping us create such happy memories, Karen and Carl. -

Rachel Sent on 01/10/2025Beautiful venue, beautiful views, amazing staff!
We live local to the fleece and so we knew it was a beautiful place. To be honest, when we decided to get married locally, we didn't bother looking anywhere else - we knew it had to be here! Amazing venue, food was incredible, staff very friendly and helpful. The wedding areas are all private too - your own bar area, your own function room which is used for the ceremony too and also your own exclusive terrace overlooking the amazing views! Would highly recommend. Thank you to everyone at The Fleece!
