Whole team, A stars for everyoneWhat an amazing day we all had Venue Service By Gillian, on 16 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 23 Feb 2019 Just had our daughter’s wedding at wonderful Sandhole. What an amazing day we all had. The staff were amazing and the whole celebration was so incredible. We are so lucky that we had such glorious weather for the time of year which only enhanced the whole day. With food by Top Table and entertainment from Giilan Edgar and his band I could not have wished for a more perfect wedding day for our daughter and her new husband. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants something a little bit special.Beautiful December Wedding Venue Service By Jacqui Binns, on 27 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 22 Dec 2018 Just a quick message to thank you for the most fabulous day on Saturday.

Fiona went above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly. Thank you from the mother of Mrs Dalton married on 24/11/18We could not have had a more perfect day Venue Service By Lisa, on 16 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 21 Nov 2018 Sandhole Oak Barn was the first venue we viewed. The bar was set impossibly high, and we immediately returned to Sandhole after viewing only one other venue to confirm our booking. The staff are friendly, and all the staff we spoke to knew what we needed as they themselves had been married at the barn. Our guests loved the venue and the accommodation was fantastic. The breakfast was great and catered for various needs that ourselves and our guests had. We couldn’t have had a more perfect day, and Sandhole was a large part of this. Thank you to all the team at Sandhole! xThe whole experience was fabulous Venue Service By Kathryn, on 16 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 08 Nov 2018 What beautiful place to have your special day. Went to a beautiful wedding and the whole experience was fabulous, the staff the location and the food was lovelyJust stunningly perfect! Venue Service By Graham Bower, on 19 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 26 Oct 2018 I am the father of the groom. Our story started two years ago when the wedding was being planned. We were due to meet our son and ‘daughter’ on a Sunday as they were due to visit 3 potential locations. We intended to meet them at their last place. However, after visiting Sandhole second we received a call from them to say ‘don’t bother with the third, we’ve found our dream location.’ Both sets of parents visited shortly afterwards and completely understood why. Since that time we visited several times to sort the menus, wine and everything else. It’s great how, despite how busy they were, the staff were only too willing to help. That also goes for Top Table too. The day ran like a dream and I can happily say it’s one of the best! We were also extremely pleased that Liz and Chris said it was perfect. And that’s the main thing. I couldn’t recommend the place highly enough. Thank you.We had the perfect wedding day Venue Service By Emily, on 16 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 07 Oct 2018 We’d been to view a few different venues for our wedding but none compared to here. The view of the lake was just the icing on the cake for us. We had the perfect wedding day here on 28th August. Amazing venue and staff. Highly recommend to anyone still looking for their perfect location! Can’t wait to pop back on our 1 year anniversaryAnd it really is something special Venue Service By Louise, on 16 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 29 Sep 2018 As soon as we turned the corner and saw the lake we knew we didn’t want to get married anywhere else. Sandhole Oak Barn is stunning and we loved every second of our wedding day on Saturday 29th September. The staff were so helpful and friendly and it really is something special, thanks again.
