Testimonials
We had our wedding here in September, this was our first choice on paper and when we visited it for the first time we fell in love with it even more! We didn't even go to see anymore venues! It was everything we wanted and more! We loved it, our guests loved it and the dogs loved being part of our day, not many venues allow pets!
Thank you to the very organised, professional team they made the day stress free!

Beautiful venue for a party or any other function, now available in the evenings too. Immaculate lawns, complete with giant connect 4 and other games, well stocked bar, marquee, the orangery looks fresh and decent facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again and recommend.

AMAZING! Beautiful gardens, something sensory around every corner. Thank you Louise and the team for making a beautiful wedding absolutely magical - the sunken garden for the wedding ceremony was genius xx

Louise, Becky and Scott went above and beyond for our wedding. It was honestly the best day and made stress free by their support and guidance leading up to the day, I honestly think they enjoyed our wedding as much as us. The grounds are just phenomenal, every corner is different. The variety of games available meant all ages had fun (especially crazy gold and table football), The flexibility of the space is great and you can have your ceremony in a few different locations.
Having the first sunken garden wedding was an absolute honour, thank you so much, love Rich and Libby (Mr & Mrs Peachey 🍑) 💕

We attended my niece's wedding which was absolutely made massively special for her, and on the plus side she had 2 disabled guests, and the staff moved mountains to make them comfortable. I'm one of the disabled and it's rare I get to leave 5 stars.
Never used toilets so can't comment on them, but I would hope they are just as disabled friendly. Can't thank them enough.
