Our two elegant barns – the Tudor Barn for ceremonies and the Granary for wedding breakfasts – are filled with rustic charm and modern comforts. With exposed wooden beams, high ceilings, and warm lighting, they create an intimate yet spacious atmosphere that couples adore.
The Tudor Barn offers an idyllic space for exchanging vows. Its characterful wooden framework, soft lighting, and romantic ambience make it the perfect setting for heartfelt “I dos”. After the ceremony, guests can seamlessly transition to the Granary, which provides the perfect mix of elegance and comfort. With ample space for dining and celebrating, it allows couples to customise their wedding day exactly as they envision.
Whether you’re looking for a cosy winter wedding with flickering candlelight and roaring fires or a summer celebration with open doors leading to the countryside, our barns provide a flexible and timeless setting that couples love.
