Great venue for events and weddings. With a spacious barn for catered meals, and a adjacent event space for smaller intimate gatherings (bar included). Adequate parking too. This gem is well-worth a visit.

Honestly outstanding service through and through, myself and my husband were so happy with the service we could not recommend them more. Professional, communicative and kind to what we envisioned for our wedding day. They were with us every step of the way and reassured us planning the wedding during the pandemic. If you want to get married somewhere beautiful, have the best hospitality and pressure free experience then please look into Blackstock Country Estate.
