It’s a delightful setting for enchanting, quintessentially English weddings.

The venue is ideal for ceremonies and wedding receptions, offering a range of options to suit wedding needs. The under-croft, licensed for vows, can accommodate up to 70 seated guests. This is followed by wedding breakfasts and receptions upstairs, allowing guests to transition seamlessly from one part of the celebration to the next without having to travel. Upstairs can cater to between 15 to 100 people, offering flexibility for all types of weddings. Alternatively, couples can exchange vows at the property and then walk to the local pub, The Fox and Hound, for a change of scenery. This pub, featured in the Michelin Guide, offers a warm, homely yet luxurious atmosphere that pays homage to the traditional pub. Here, pairs will be served delicious seasonal British produce before returning to the venue to continue celebrations.
