Best day ever

The team at Great Tythe Barn made our wedding an absolute dream come true! They were so amazing and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day! We honestly couldn’t have had a better day, not even the weather put a dampener on it! The accommodation on site was also stunning and so convenient for the night before and staying there after the wedding! Best day of our lives!

We came up to the GTB and fell in love

We just wanted to say a massive THANKYOU to you and all the team at the barn. From day one when we came up to view it to the day itself, we couldn't of asked for more! It was just a wonderful experience for us both and we are so pleased with the whole outcome. We came up to the GTB and fell in love with the whole place, we had several viewings after and it just felt perfect to us.
