Reviews for Runa Farm
Best Day Ever!!!!!
Best day of our lives
Summer 2025 Wedding.
Check-in to the Farmhouse was from 5pm which we felt was a little late, however there was a wedding the day before which had stayed in the accommodation, so this was understandable as you do get to keep it until the time of your ceremony. Checking in was quick and efficient, the Farmhouse itself is lovely, rooms and facilities really good (hot-tub, garden area & seating), option for breakfast to be brought over to you the following morning.
We didn't use an external company for decoration, so Runa Farm decorated the venue for us perfectly with the decorations & instructions we provided.
Everything ran seamlessly on the day thanks to Ian & Emma, they literally could not have done any more for us and helped make the day as good as it was! Service from other staff members was also very efficient, no queues at the bar, food served very quickly, we had a sweetie, brownie, and crisp table on the day which was well replenished throughout the day. The bar also stays open to residents following the wedding for as long as required, with drinks being charged to your rooms. One thing to note is that drinks are quite expensive for guests.
Overall, we could not recommend Runa Farm enough. From start to finish the whole experience and service has been exceptional, the venue is absolutely amazing with so much choice for food and drinks packages and extremely good value for money given our chosen day (which was at the lower end of the price brackets). Eva was our wedding co-ordinator, who went above & beyond for us, responding to emails promptly, answering any questions we had.
A day we will never forget
Our wedding planner, Eva, was an absolute gem. Her clear communication and meticulous attention to detail made the planning process seamless and stress-free. She guided us every step of the way, ensuring everything aligned perfectly with our vision. On the day itself, Amy, the manager, and Ian, the MC, were outstanding. Their professionalism and calming presence helped us feel completely at ease, allowing us to fully soak in every moment. They coordinated all our suppliers flawlessly, ensuring the day ran like clockwork.
Runa Farm delivered everything we dreamed of and more. The venue itself is stunning, and the team’s dedication to making our wedding perfect was evident in every detail. If you’re looking for a venue that combines exceptional service with a magical setting, Runa Farm is the perfect choice. We’d recommend it to anyone without hesitation!
Mr & Mrs Lomax
Earthy and elegant, the perfect wedding venue
Our vision was natural luxury and Runa Farm didn’t disappoint, earthy and elegant, a hidden gem that we are so pleased we found
We feel privileged to have held our wedding day at Runa Farm. A stunning venue in the most fantastic of surroundings.
The entire process of planning was so easy, made seamless by our Wedding Co-ordinator, Eva.
All the staff worked with us to accommodate everything we wanted, every need was catered for.
Ian (our Master of Ceremonies) was extremely helpful and efficient and went above and beyond to ensure our day was special.
What a venue! What a day! If we could do it all again, we would in a heartbeat and we wouldn’t change a thing. We loved every minute.
Most amazing venue

Mr & Mrs Hammond Wedding 23/03/2025 Runs Farm
Everyone commented on the food and said that it was all absolutely gorgeous. From the 3 course wedding breakfast to the evening food to breakfast the following morning was all absolutely gorgeous.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The full team went above and beyond.
Thank you again!
Unforgettable day!
Amazing from start to finish
Our confidence was knocked and we really needed a venue to make us feel comfortable and supported. We got that and so much more from Runa farm.
Our day was perfect, the staff were absolutely incredible, nothing was any trouble at all.
Ian and Amy made everything flow perfectly. If you get amy or Ian know your in the best hands. Ian’s MC skills are outstanding. Amy has the most amazing talents to dress a venue we were blown away! We had no vendors as I had made everything myself and we had so much to set up. I was very nervous about this but Amy took everything from us, told me to chill and enjoy my day. Everything was set up perfectly! Much better than I could’ve done myself, if you are a DIY bride Runa is so accommodating!
Even before our wedding Jenna at the apartment group was amazing we could reach out and time for support, no question was too silly.
We went to several open days in the run up to the venue and we were always made to feel welcome.
We also have to give a big shout out to the sensational bar staff. They were so kind, helpful and really went above and beyond all day.
The food was also incredible we had the tapas and our guests were all so complimentary about how fantastic it was. Our table plan was a little complicated but the chef was so helpful and made all our plans come to life.
The farm house the night before was great what a fantastic way to start our wedding weekend.
Our two dogs were ring bearers, they are a little temperamental with people so we were very nervous to have them there. Runa farm was amazing with our boys the staff were so helpful. It meant the world to us to have our dogs be part of our day. If our dogs were being a little tricky and barking the staff were so kind about it we felt so at ease.
I can’t express enough how fantastic everyone was. If you’re thinking of booking Runa farm you’ll not be disappointed!
