With uninterrupted views, thanks to its incredible location in South Downs National Park, this 14-acre setting provides an idyllic spot for romantic wedding days. The grounds are extensive and feature an ornamental garden with arbour, secret paths meandering through woodland, a walled garden, and a perfectly manicured sunken lawn. There are a number of spots to be found that are perfect for placing a luxury marquee should your guest list extend beyond the interior spaces. You can exchange your vows in either The Great Hall or The Blue Room. The former can host 150 in its impressive double- height space with ornate ceiling plasterwork, a beautiful Georgian fireplace, oak flooring and floor-to-ceiling mullioned windows. The Blue Room is decorated in a wonderful Wedgewood blue with a marble Georgian fireplace, detail framed walls and polished wood flooring. French doors lead to the patio and lawn beyond. Ideal for intimate “I dos,” it can host 50 loved ones. The Great Hall and The Blue Room can also host your celebrations for 140 and 50 respectively for the wedding breakfast, and you also now have the added choice of The Green Room (50 guests). Decorated in a heritage green hue it also boasts a Georgian fireplace ornately decorated with farming scenes. It too has a set of French doors leading on to the patio and lawn allowing you and your guests to relax and mingle as the day wears on. The venue can host up to 200 for the evening bash.
