- LLauren Pluss06/03/2024The most perfect location, setting and houseThe most perfect location, setting and houseWe got married at Buckland House August Bank Holiday 2021 weekend and it was the most perfect location, setting and house. We had amazing weather, which meant we were able to use the pool and lake - and some guests went running in the extensive grounds. We were able to book our own caterers, band, photographer etc which gave us the freedom to do what we wanted for the whole event. We couldn't have found a better place to have our wedding. Thank you Suzanne and Ralph!We got married at Buckland House August Bank Holiday 2021 weekend and it was the most perfect location, setting and house.

It’s such a great mix of homely and opulent and the perfect setting for our rustic country wedding. Everyone who came loved the venue and it’s so wonderful to have the run of the manor for the whole weekend so you really can do things to way you want them.

- FFrancesca Lawrence03/11/2017A shabby chic DIY dream! A shabby chic DIY dream!I can't really explain just how magical Buckland House is but I am going to try! From our very first emails, the initial viewings, the booking, and then right through to the wedding weekend itself: Tammy, Suzanne and Ralph have been absolutely wonderful. In England, you just cannot rely on the weather, so we were very keen to have a venue which was all about the interior space. We accidently found Buckland House while researching rentable holiday homes as opposed to wedding venues! It could sleep 30 of our guests, was exclusively yours for the entire weekend, had no curfew, no corkage, and had a wedding licence too. It meant we could build our wedding exactly how we wanted it, and have our ceremony and reception all in one place, cutting out transportation: A shabby chic DIY dream! The moment I saw photos, I fell in love and made arrangements to view it immediately. Suffice to say, the visit blew us away! It was like being in a National Trust house but with zero restrictions. The interior space is huge, and it is so impressive inside that not a lot of decoration was needed. There was plenty of room should the weather be horrible all weekend (which it was, although thankfully we had a few breaks in the rain and could get out for photos). It is also surrounded by 280 acres of gorgeous grounds (some of which we adorned with a flock of retro lawn flamingos), so had the weather ended up being amazing, it would have been an added bonus rather the focus of our day. Buckland served as a fantastic base from which to host a whole weekends worth of celebrations in the Devon countryside and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We only spent 4 days there, but miss it so much!!I can't really explain just how magical Buckland House is but I am going to try!
