The surrounding grounds provide plenty of outdoor space for drinks receptions, lawn games and wedding photography, with countryside views adding to the relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. One of the venue’s biggest draws is its luxury eco accommodation, allowing guests to stay on site and turn the wedding into a full countryside getaway. The venue is also pet friendly and offers activities such as golf and paddle.
