Venue & Staff Were the Best

Venue and the ladies working there were the best. All the planning and preparation went so smoothly. Corinne was great in answering all the questions and helping with all the details. On the day, we had Angie helping us and overseeing that everything would go well. Having her there brought me and my husband so much peace on a big day. We didn't need to worry about anything and that allowed us fully enjoy our day. We are very happy that we went for this venue. It was beyond what we expected.

Everything we wanted

The venue is absolutely amazing, it is everything we wanted. We had our ceremony outside as the weather was beautiful, which looked lovely with all the hanging baskets and flowers around. Corinne and the team always got back to me straight away when I had any questions in the lead up. Sue the farmhouse keeper, made a fabulous breakfast for us all the next day and always made us welcome and sorted any issues straight away! Thank you for making our day so special.

Such a friendly team & perfect venue

Amazing venue, all our guests commented how beautiful it was. It was a perfect layout for us, the courtyard was brilliant where you can mingle with guests and the grassed area was brilliant for putting up a bouncy castle and some lawn games for the kids to play. The accommodation on site was perfect, it was lovely to be able to get ready at the venue and get some beautiful photos around the grounds. The team are so friendly, helpful and quick at answering queries. We had an absolutely perfect day and can't thank them enough
