- MM&P28/08/2025Perfect day, but stressful lead upPerfect day, but stressful lead upStarting with the good stuff, our wedding day was simply perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning, exactly the kind of rustic, outdoor beauty we wanted and the day went without a hitch. It was just stunning. The food was all incredible and the venue catered well to multiple dietary requirements with no issues. The onsite cottages were gorgeous and it was so lovely to have them to ourselves and family the night before the wedding as well as the night after. It was also amazing to have the glamping tents available which a few of our guests made use of. Truly a day we’ll remember and treasure forever. Okay then the few niggly things. So much of our pre-wedding stress could have been avoided by the venue being more organised. Throughout our planning the venue were slow to reply to emails, with us often having to chase for responses after 2 weeks of silence which was frustrating when often organising other vendors depended on their responses. Also, despite us mentioning multiple times that I (the bride) am vegetarian over zoom calls and email, when we went to the venue for our food tasting, despite having requested to taste both a meat and veggie option, the venue had somehow forgotten and only made a meat course. The chef managed to quickly cook me up some halloumi but it wasn’t what we were meant to have on our wedding day and instead of the day being a nice thing, it left me worried that the venue would forget to cater for me and others with specific requirements on the day. This worry wasn’t alleviated by the fact that the day before the wedding, despite giving the venue a comprehensive spreadsheet of all guests’ dietary requirements, the chef asked us whether any guests had requirements, making it blatantly clear they hadn’t checked the spreadsheet 24 hours before. The food all turned out perfect in the end but the disorganisation made us really worried! Perhaps the worst part was that the venue didn’t send us the final invoice until 4 days before the wedding and it was also completely wrong. We then had to go back and forth to try and correct it and the day before the wedding we ended up having to correct it ourselves and just send them the amount we thought was correct so we didn’t have to worry about transferring money on our actual wedding day. I can’t tell you how stressed this made us, when all we wanted to be thinking about the week before our wedding was what to pack. A lot of these issues stemmed from the main organiser we were dealing with just not being around enough. We found out at one point she has another full time job which explained a lot - even on our wedding day our vendors weren’t welcomed by anyone, and we weren’t welcomed by anyone the day before when we arrived and were shown to the cottages by a groundskeeper which was super weird. There was a technical hiccup on the day with our band struggling to use the venue’s PA system and the organiser just was nowhere to be found. A member of staff had to call her to come back. Once she arrived everything was fixed and went smoothly but I have no idea why she wasn’t around. The first time I saw her over the wedding weekend was when she brought the registrars to me 20 minutes before our ceremony so we’d spent the whole previous evening and wedding morning wondering where she was and whether everything was going to be okay. In conclusion - a stunning venue that seems to deliver a great wedding flying by the seat of their pants, which made the whole experience more stressful in the lead up despite delivering a perfect day.Starting with the good stuff, our wedding day was simply perfect.

- NNefyn and Rosie14/07/2024A fantastic weddingA fantastic weddingWe had our wedding here in June. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning. The accommodation and yurts were beautiful and meant we could have lots of friends and family staying for the whole weekend. Lee and Christina are so friendly and the wedding breakfast (Spanish style tapas) was delicious. Everyone had a fantastic time, we’re so happy we chose this as our wedding venue.We had our wedding here in June. The venue and grounds are absolutely stunning.

- EEllie & Nathan04/04/2023Magical weekendMagical weekendWe chose BWH for our wedding as we loved the smaller, rustic vibe of the place, which really made the day feel more intimate and special - I had always wanted to get married in a garden too and the backdrop of the house was just spectacular. The team at BWH were outstanding, both on the run up to our wedding, and on the day; they were super helpful, approachable, friendly, and above all, thorough (thank you Christina)! The food was unbelievably good, and really made the whole experience that more special (thank you Lee)! We loved every second of our weekend, from tapas on the Friday night right through to the roast dinner on Sunday before we all packed up to go home - we will treasure our memories of the day forever and ever.

- CClaire Lawrence Celebrant09/12/2022What a magical venueWhat a magical venueI am a wedding celebrant and so get to see a lot of wedding venues - of all types. I was here in late November 2022 and I was blown away by just how magical a venue this is. It's tucked out of the way and so the wedding feels intimate but not too far from civilisation! The staff were just lovely and that makes a huge difference. The photographs were stunning - twinkly twilight perfection.I am a wedding celebrant and so get to see a lot of wedding venues - of all types.

- HHolly and Alex29/01/2020The perfect day in the perfect place The perfect day in the perfect placeI can't begin to thank you for such an amazing day. It really was so special. Everything from the beautiful venue, to the yummy food and wine, to the decorations and beautiful setting (Especially for my photos) added together to make it a truly memorable day. The peacocks were an added bonus. Nick and the team looked after us so well from the first initial enquiry through to the lunch the following day, they covered every little details and thought of everything, we felt extremely lucky to be so well looked after and they really took the stress out of a big event for such an important occasion. We loved it so much that we booked it again for my husband and my 40th and also for my daughters christening. An absolute gem of a place to be lucky enough to have access to.
