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!

Gorgeous venue with stunning gardens. If you are looking for an outdoors style wedding then definitely worth a look. Friendly staff and plenty of photo opportunities. As a Brighton wedding videographer I have no problem travelling to venues as fab as this x

I had the pleasure to photograph a wedding there. Beautiful gardens for photographs which I used for my photoshoot with Mr & Mrs and all the guests. I highly recommend the venue.
