Absolutely magical day
Sam & Chloe were our wedding coordinators on the day and they were absolutely faultless, the day ran perfectly and that was all down to them both.
The food was incredible and every one of our guests commented on how amazing the food quality was.
The rooms were super comfortable.
The venue overall was just incredible, we would highly recommend anyone getting married to celebrate here.

The food is outstanding and all the staff are very helpful. From the first planning meeting up to the day of the wedding .
Nothing was to much trouble if I had a query they was always at the end of email .
Myself and the bridal party stayed at the cottages the night before , this really added to the excitement of our wedding day .
The rooms at the Ferry house are decorated to a high standard and are very comfortable. The food is amazing.
We would highly recommend this venue . Our wedding day was perfect .
The perfect wedding venue
They decorated the venue with my diy decorations without any issues, they answered my constant emails (crazy quickly!) and even put up with me doing everything last minute!
The actual day itself, they were so helpful, excited for us and just made us feel amazing!
The venue is just absolutely gorgeous - nearly every guest came up to us on the day to tell us how amazing it was and they honestly felt it was the best wedding they had been to! All thanks to the Ferry House. If we could do it all again we would both choose the ferry house again in an instant.
Best experience ever. Amazing staff, beautiful venue.
From start to finish the staff and wedding team have been incredible!
The attention to detail, care and kindness of all the staff is the best we have ever received. They were simply amazing.
The venue itself, is totally worth the journey .
It was absolutely stunning and took our breath away when we saw it decorated.
We stayed overnight and the rooms were beautiful, clean and really comfortable.
Our buffet breakfast in the morning was delicious, full of fresh produce.
The food did not disappoint, it was the best wedding breakfast meal we have had.
Congratulations on a top star venue and a brilliant team of staff from the washing up lady to the wedding planners (Maxine was especially brilliant and also our assigned host who never stopped smiling despite our requests for this and that).
Thank you one and all for making Harry & Dan’s day totally amazing! We couldn’t have asked for more .
The Best Team!
The food and drink is the best around, locally sourced making it all taste so much better! And the views, away from everything so you can really soak in the day with your loved ones with no distractions!
Couldn’t ask for more
Perfect! Best. Day. Ever!
We opted for the 2 day wedding package. This gave us the fantastic opportunity to celebrate with our family and closest friends and spread our wedding over a few days. The day before we had time to relax and settle into our 5* stunning rooms (and be pampered with a massage) in the afternoon before spending the evening eating delicious food in the barn with our guests.
In the run up to the wedding, our coordinator was great. No question was too silly. She made a feel so comfortable from the beginning to the end. In fact, every member of their staff were amazing, to us, our children and all our guests.
The staff at The Ferry House took the stress out of our wedding day and everything ran smoothly. The personal touches and little gestures (postcards in the rooms and signage in the barn) from the team made us feel like we were special and they just couldn't do enough to make us feel comfortable.
We hired a band for our reception, however the Ferry House DJ was awesome too, our Garage set was out of this world and the Take That medley at the end was fantastic, especially the sneaky last song that topped the evening off - thank you.
The venue has a very rustic and warm feel, inside and outside. With the backdrop of the estuary and the stunning gardens (even at the beginning of spring they were beautiful) there were so many places to go for the perfect wedding photos. Every guest commented on the food - all either grown on site or sourced locally.
We can say with our hands on our hearts, that our wedding was the best day of our lives - truly magical. Thank you xxx
A day we will never forget
The team at the Ferry House were amazing from the start, they responded quickly to any questions and were always willing to help.
We used all accommodation including the cottages for 2 nights and our guests said it was an amazing stay & lovely to be all together.
Everything ran like clockwork and we honestly can’t thank the team at the FH enough. The venue is stunning and our day was everything we could have dreamed of, there isn’t a thing we would change. I just wish we could do it all again!!
We got so many compliments on the food, styling and venue and that everyone had an amazing time, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Thank you!!
Our dream come true!
Everything and more!
If I could do it all over again I would still choose The Ferry House.
Forever grateful!
