- JJames & Nicole13/01/2026Un Lieu Magique : Notre Expérience Inoubliable au Manoir BeaulieuUn Lieu Magique : Notre Expérience Inoubliable au Manoir BeaulieuLes mots ne rendront jamais vraiment justice au Manoir Beaulieu. Les photos ici ne sont que quelques-uns de nos clichés informels, mais vous pouvez déjà voir à quel point l’endroit est MAGNIFIQUE. Et je ne parle même pas de la cuisine !!! Lauren et James sont des hôtes absolument parfaits—que vous veniez pour un séjour tranquille ou que vous ayez la chance de vous y marier, je vous promets que ce sera l’une des meilleures décisions de votre vie. Le Manoir Beaulieu est classique, romantique et sublime où que vous posiez les yeux. Tout le lieu respire l’amour, l’attention et le dévouement que Lauren, James, leurs familles, leurs amis et leur incroyable équipe y insufflent. Aucun détail n’est laissé au hasard. De l’accueil chaleureux à notre arrivée jusqu’aux gâteaux Colin the Caterpillar surprises pour trois anniversaires le jour de notre mariage, tout était pensé avec soin et profondément personnalisé. Lauren est une véritable superstar—calme, bienveillante et infiniment aidante. Elle nous a guidés tout au long du processus avec une telle grâce et joie, rendant l’organisation à distance incroyablement simple et agréable. Et James : un véritable génie culinaire. Chaque plat était une perfection—élégant, généreux et absolument délicieux. Nous rêvons encore de la nourriture, et avons ajouté quelques photos pour que vous puissiez saliver avec nous… Le manoir en lui-même est tout simplement magique. Les chambres sont superbement décorées et le domaine est d’un calme absolu. Nous nous sommes réveillés au chant des oiseaux, et avons admiré des couchers de soleil à couper le souffle. Nos invités n’arrêtaient pas de nous dire à quel point l’endroit était spécial et reposant—il possède cette qualité rare et intangible qui fait que chacun s’y sent à la fois chez soi et totalement choyé. Nous avons réellement vécu ici un mariage inoubliable. Chaque détail a été orchestré avec amour et précision. Le Manoir Beaulieu n’est pas seulement un lieu—c’est une expérience, une émotion, et un souvenir que nous chérirons pour toujours. Nous sommes repartis le cœur plein et profondément reconnaissants. Merci Lauren et James—pour tout. Nous avons déjà hâte de revenir.Les mots ne rendront jamais vraiment justice au Manoir Beaulieu.

- CChloe & Rich13/01/2026Gorgeous wedding venue! Gorgeous wedding venue!Words can’t truly capture how incredible our stay & wedding at Manoir de Beaulieu was! From the moment we arrived, everything was absolute perfection. Our welcome meal was delicious! The Manoir rooms are gorgeous and the grounds are so pretty! Lauren, James, George, Malcom & all the staff went above and beyond in every possible way. Warm, professional and attentive – they made us feel completely looked after while also giving us the space to be in the moment. Just before I walked down the aisle, Lauren was counting my bridesmaids out for us and I could see her shed a tear of happiness, it warmed my heart how much she & James genuinely care about the couples getting married at their gorgeous home. They are a very special couple & team! The venue itself is simply breathtaking. Every area is picture-perfect, from the ceremony space to the courtyard, it all looked like something out of a fairytale. And the food… wow! We’re still getting compliments from our guests - they said it was the best wedding food they’d ever eaten! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. The evening smash burgers were phenomenal! I am still drooling over the pool party food too. All our guests with dietary requirements were catered for so so so well! Getting married at Manoir de Beaulieu was one of the best decisions we have ever made. I would highly recommend to others considering the venue - you will not be disappointed! Thank you James, Lauren and all the team for giving us the most perfect day of our lives - we will treasure the memories of our wedding forever! xxx Words can’t truly capture how incredible our stay & wedding at Manoir de Beaulieu was!
