Description
The venue is a hidden gem nestled deep in the South Hams countryside near Totnes in South Devon. The estate is luxurious, relaxed and informal where couples and guests are encouraged to make the 35 acres their home for the duration of their stay. It can sleep up to 100 guests on site in luxury cottages and barns, plus they have a late music licence until 3am in their super cool vaulted club.
The Kingston Estate ticks all the boxes for couples looking for a stunning exclusive use venue that can provide first class accommodation for all their guests along with top-notch service for food and drink. The estate is Georgian, with the mansion house having been built in 1735. It boasts high ceilings, marble fireplaces, original wall paintings and a vaulted basement where you can party until the early hours. The grounds include two stunning south-facing walled gardens; one perfect for your wedding ceremony and one for eating alfresco-style. On the estate there is also a huge party yurt, a cool street food shed, a rustic ceremony barn with eight chic chandeliers, a courtyard cocktail bar for a festival feel vibe along with an Italian Walled Garden for drinks or eating alfresco style up to 250 guests. They also have the Hayloft Barn big enough for 200 guests with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside.
The accommodation on site has been thoughtfully renovated with tasteful interiors, original features, and a meticulous attention to detail. The main house, cottages and barns sleep up to 100 guests in total, making it a comfortable retreat in which to reside, whilst enjoying every moment of the big event. The team can also provide a bell tent or yurt village for additional guests on site. There are also hot tubs scattered here and there and plenty of parking available on site.

- JJacob Loaring13/06/2025We cant rate the venue highly enough ! We cant rate the venue highly enough !We got married at Kingston Estate last weekend - couldn’t rate the place highly enough. We stayed on-site from the Tuesday and had an incredible 5 days, including a British-Indian wedding on the Friday and Saturday. Jodie and the team could not have been better at turning our wedding into a reality - but what I also loved was the personal touches along the way - pulling me to one side before the English ceremony to give me a few minutes to take it in, delivering espresso martinis to the bride whenever she fancied one and adapting to lots of out the box requests in the build up! Can’t thank the Kingston Estate team enough and looking forward to revisiting for the memories in years to come!We got married at Kingston Estate last weekend - couldn’t rate the place highly enough.

- LLydia and Elliot13/05/2024Wonderful ExperienceWonderful ExperienceHello! We attended Sara & Jack’s wedding this weekend with our 11 week old and just wanted to say how wonderful it was! Our first trip Away with little one, we stayed in Little Cottage which had everything we needed. During the wedding day we were really looked after by all the staff, making sure we could find shade, bringing us drinks and making sure I got canapés whilst I was breast feeding. Everyone really was lovely and very accommodating! Made a potentially stressful trip feel very easy foHello!

- DDanielle & Mark19/07/2023Nothing but complimentsNothing but complimentsWe just wanted to drop you a note to say thank y for making our wedding weekend one that we will never forget. We have had nothing but compliments about the venue, and we continued to surprise guests from the moment they arrived on Friday, to the time they left on Sunday (broken, of course), thanks to the Estate's little quirks. Although things were touch and go towards the end, as the weather decided NOT to play ball, we look back now and really would not have had it any other way.

Location & Contact Details for Kingston Estate
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We like all weddings to be completely bespoke to each couple, so in all honesty it's hard to pick a favourite wedding, but there are definitely a few each year that stand out. For example L&H had a beautiful wedding weekend in September 2019, and worked hard to ensure that H's Iranian heritage was included in all aspects of the wedding, sadly it rained all weekend but that didn't stop them all from embracing the weather, they even braved the rain for a ceremonial Iranian sword dance in the courtyard!
