Tie the knot under exposed beams and fairy lights in this charming timber-framed medieval house. An intimate venue steeped in history, it’s ideal for smaller weddings that want the wow factor.	Dance the night away under bunting and beams in our spectacular Elizabethan Great Barn. Set on its own private island, this venue has a moat and romantic waterside gardens.
