Nestled within the charming Cotswolds, Grittleton House takes pride of place in the picturesque village of Grittleton, alongside St Marys Church. Accessed via a private tree lined drive, offering sweeping views over the house and grounds, you have the instant wow factor, from the second you arrive. Grittleton is just a short distance from Bath and Bristol with fabulous transport links to London and beyond, it is easily accessible to all.
Come for the day, or stay for the weekend, party till late, enjoy breakfast the next day with your family and friends, make our house your house, and memories to last a lifetime.
The house is full of outstanding architecture and gothic features, with a stunning backdrop there are plenty of opportunities to capture those magical moments with some wonderful photographs, no need to worry about the weather. The magnificence of the sweeping double staircase is a wonderful sight as you enter the main hall. The beauty of Grittleton House is that, as a family-owned house, it comes with ultimate flexibility. We want your wedding day to be unique, like no other. With your vision and our expertise, we can work together to make your dream a reality.
We offer a choice of unique ceremony rooms, within the main house and grounds. Choose from the richness and warmth of the Red Gallery, or the light and airy tones of the Yellow Gallery. For something larger there is always the Victorian Orangery with stunning views of the terrace and formal gardens. In the glorious summer months enjoy an alfresco ceremony in the Sunken Italian Garden or the spectacular grounds.
To complete the perfect package, we also have on site accommodation for approx. 80 guests (including family suites). The house offers luxurious en-suite master bedrooms, and family suites, with additional guest accommodation available within the converted Victorian Stables full of rustic charm.

- TTom & Clio08/03/2025The most incredible venue you'll findThe most incredible venue you'll findWe found Grittleton House online and went to visit in November 2023, a month after our engagement. We went in with an open mind, and left having chosen our venue. Emma and Nelson were our main contacts and the communication was exceptional. Emma made sure we had everything we needed and helped us with the planning, so nothing was left out! Every element of our special day was perfect - from the venue itself, the staff, the food and how well everyone was looked after. Thank you to everyone again for such a perfect day. If you're looking for a beautiful, historic, detailed, well-run venue, book Grittleton house - you will not regret it!We found Grittleton House online and went to visit in November 2023, a month after our engagement.

- TThe Kirkpatricks25/01/2025The most beautiful wedding venueThe most beautiful wedding venueNelson, Emma and the staff were extremely helpful with every aspect of the wedding (especially things we didn’t even know existed!). Their experience and great personalities ensured the day went smoothly and made certain we enjoyed the day. They were extremely accommodating with what we wanted to do throughout our day. Obviously it’s the most stunning location, inside the venue and out, but the staff make sure the quality stays at the highest level. There are so many different areas for different photos and every room and garden is just perfect. Finally the food, every single guest couldn’t say anymore good things about the food. It was simply stunning! So much so we’re bringing the family back for Grittletons Christmas festivities.Nelson, Emma and the staff were extremely helpful with every aspect of the wedding (especially things we didn’t even know existed!).

But breaking that down a little - Emma is extremely efficient, full of good ideas and always gets things done. Along with Nelson's support, and the rest of the team, our day ran like clockwork. We honestly didn't have to worry or think about a single thing on the day, and the few thoughts we did have, were already in hand. The House suited us perfectly, as we wanted one roof to get married under, have our wedding breakfast and then party, and what a roof that was! Grittleton has a fantastic interior/decor and literally every guest complimented the venue and the fabulous food that went with it. We cannot speak highly enough of Emma, Nelson, the team or indeed the House. If Grittleton House is on your shortlist, book it now!
