This traditional Yorkshire board clad building has large oak frames that blend into the rural setting. Inside is The Stables, a large preparation suite, with a comfy seating area, washroom facilities, dressing room and hair and make-up stations. CELEBRATE IN STYLE The Oak Barn is a working barn conversion with high oak-vaulted ceilings draped in fairylights. There are neutral, light colours throughout with large glass front windows, lots of space, oak floors and hanging chandeliers. The Sty, a luxurious and well-stocked bar, adjoins the Oak Barn and is perfect for any occasion. The Terrace, with seating and log burners, provides unobstructed views of the paddock, grounds and green fields. Alternatively, the 17th-century Old Dairy Barn with oak frames, black sandstone flooring, cross back chairs, and illuminated chandeliers can be used.
