We got married here and we're so happy with it. It's a lovely rustic barn and even with limited decoration it looks beautiful. You hire the barn the day before until the day after which is not offered at many wedding venues. Would also highly recommend hire of the farmhouse on site which comes well equipped and makes the days extra special. Overall very happy we found this place and would recommend.

We went last night to see the Spectacle of Lights and they were beautiful. We had a lovely walk around the grounds. My children loved it!
