A perfect wedding day, thank you
We fell in love with the facilities at The Fleece from the very first time that we visited, just short of two years before our wedding in July 2023.
Carrie-Anne and the entire staff at The Fleece were absolutely brilliant throughout. They came to our rescue on more than one occasion when other plans went awry, ensuring our special day was indeed extremely special.
If your looking for a venue that has wonderful views, a relaxed atmosphere combined with unbelievably professional service and fabulous food, then we cannot recommend The Fleece enough.
Extremely special memories were made, not just for us, but for all our guests who said it was the best wedding they’d been to.
Thank you so much to the entire team at The Fleece. Hopefully see you all again very soon.

The most perfect venue! 12/08/2024
Ben & Victoria-12.08.24
We fell in love with the venue the first time we came and we made our minds up there and then it was the perfect place for our big day. From that moment Carrie-Anne and the team were faultless, keeping in regular contact and really making the whole process totally stress free.
We absolutely loved seeing all of our guests enjoying the day as much as we did and have had endless amounts of compliments about The Fleece since. Everything from the staff, the setting, views and the food (particularly the sticky toffee pudding) were fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more.
We really did have the most amazing day and can’t thank you all of the staff enough for ensuring the day went as well as it did.

Outstanding Venue
From the first meeting until the last, the team at The Fleece made planning a wedding as easy as it possibly can be.
Carrie-Anne and her team were quick to respond to any emails sent and were very accommodating to any and all requests and ideas I had.
As for on the day coordination - wow! It was a dream, they were so attentive without being in your face. Everything to ran to time and the service was impeccable.
The food was wonderful, and our guests still cannot stop talking about it.
The Fleece provided a wonderful venue for us to celebrate our love with all our close family and friends and our day was everything we imagined it would be and more and that is a lot to do with the team at The Fleece.
Thank you all very much!

The most special day!
Everything from planning the wedding to leaving the morning after our big day was smooth sailing.
The staff were incredible! They were so helpful and answered any questions we needed (which were a lot!) The venue is the perfect spot for the most beautiful photos and the food was delicious. I’m so glad we chose the fleece for our special day.

We had our wedding here on 1st June 2024
We had our wedding at The Fleece Inn on June 1st, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we booked the venue, everything was just fantastic. The staff were so helpful and accommodating during our meetings, making sure that everything is exactly what we wanted for our big day.
When we arrived, everyone was incredibly pleasant and supportive. The beautiful views around the venue is just breathtaking by, adding a magical touch to our photos.
I was so nervous before walking down the aisle, but the team was wonderful. They offered me water, chatted with me to calm my nerves, and guided me through everything. I can’t thank them enough for that!
Thanks to the team’s exceptional efforts, everything ran smoothly, and we could fully enjoy our special day without any worries.
We highly recommend The Fleece Inn. If you want your photos to look great and have a worry-free experience, choose The Fleece Inn. We’re truly grateful for everything you did to make our wedding perfect!

The Fleece Countryside Inn
We got married at The Fleece back in August 2023 and we couldn't say a single fault. This was our only venue we went to view in person and we booked our date on the day. From that open day, to our first meeting, to the menu tasting and until the big day, everything ran so smooth. We couldnt reconmend the fleece enough, the food was amazing, the plan of the day waa perfect and the views and weather were just an added bonus. It won't be the last time Carrie and the team will see us, as it's also become one of "our places" for date nights ❤️

Amazing day!!
We got married on the 2/12/23 and from day one the Fleece have been amazing. From our first meeting we felt so at ease and could ask anything. And on the day they gave us the most beautiful day. All our guests loved the food and the decor. They loved how friendly and approachable the staff were. I could not recommend this venue enough. Nothing was too much and the whole day was unforgettable!

Perfect day!
Myself and my husband had the wedding of our dreams at the fleece on the 16th June 2023.
After many venue visits we instantly fell in love with the fleece and its picturesque location. We knew we wanted a venue in the countryside with accommodation for our guests, the fleece ticked all of our boxes whilst being easy accessible for all. The entire process of planning our big day was made stress free by Carrie-Anne and her team- we had regular catch up emails and visits to the fleece to ensure we were on track with planning our perfect day!
The venue itself is gorgeous! The view from the terrace is amazing- we were blessed with the weather and enjoyed canapés and drinks outside after the ceremony and also spent time outside with our guests in the evening.
The day itself was seamless we didn’t have to worry about a thing- we had two events coordinators one for the day and one for the evening, they ensured that everything on the day was perfect and to time.
We went for the summer wedding package, we loved that the package included everything so there was no hidden extras (unless you have any special requests). The food was outstanding and we received so many compliments from our guests.
Thank you so much to everybody at the fleece, we are now looking forward to returning for our anniversary stay!
Love,
Becky & Alex.

Best day ever
From booking our wedding in Oct 21 to our wedding day Dec 22 & beyond the team at the fleece have been amazing. On the day they made sure everything ran smoothly and helped arrange guests. We both had an amazing day and loved every moment thanks to the team at the fleece x

A wedding worth waiting for!
We booked our wedding with the Fleece back in 2018! We then had to postpone due to Covid twice! During this time Carrie-Ann was brilliant, responding quickly to emails and questions when she must have been swamped!
During the run up to our date the communication was fab! We even had some last minute dietary requirements the week of the wedding but this was no problem to sort out.
The day was perfect!! Well organised, all the staff were professional and communicated well with us throughout the day. The food was delicious and served quickly. Everyone commented on how nice the food was. The bar staff were great and the range of drinks and cocktails was really good.
The surroundings of the venue are beautiful. We had mixed weather but still managed to get some beautiful shots. The only thing that would make this venue even better was if more people could stay at the venue. However I understand that this is a small venue and has lots of character.
We loved our wedding day!!
