The pretty beamed Jasmine Cottage is yours to hire for the day and night of your wedding. Freshen up on arrival or throughout the day and, of course, spend your first night together as a married couple. The light-filled East Barn has floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the South Downs to one side, and the courtyard to the other. It’s wooden beams and neutral colour tones are the ideal backdrop to say ‘I do’. Following your romantic ceremony, your guests move out into the flower-filled courtyard to mingle and enjoy a few drinks and canapes. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with our garden Moroccan style snug and contemporary copper topped tables in the Stable Bar. The spacious South Barn is the ideal setting for your reception. The wooden beams, flint stone walls and neutral colour scheme will complement any of your decorations perfectly.

- RRuby19/02/2024Absolutely stunningAbsolutely stunningThe venue is absolutely stunning. We booked the venue nearly two years previously and were impressed from start to finish. My vege and vegan guests were impressed with the personal emails for their dietary needs. The owners are absolutely lovely and very calming. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed on the day and Nicola was on hand with some delicious homemade elderflower juice. We can’t recommended this venue enough and we will miss our visits there.The venue is absolutely stunning. We booked the venue nearly two years previously and were impressed from start to finish.

- ZZoe & Nathan04/05/2020Beautiful countryside setting Beautiful countryside settingBeautiful countryside setting for our rustic wedding. The barns have plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their day, the courtyard is lovely to have drinks outside and games or entertainment. The Moroccan snug is lovely for people to go somewhere quieter to talk and relax, perfect on a cold evening as it has heaters. The cottage is the perfect bridal suite, beautifully decorated and plenty of space to get ready in. The barns need minimal decoration as they are beautiful as they are.Beautiful countryside setting for our rustic wedding.
