The most popular photo spots at our venue would have to be the ante room or panelled hall becasue of its history. A great spot in the gardens is just past the lake looking back at the house. The gardens are beautiful in all seasons, in the summer sun but especially when the snowdrops bloom in winter.

A question too difficult to answer, one of our most popular would have to be the Baby Yorkshire puddings with rare fillet of beef.

Now an unforgettable welcome for you and you wedding guests as well as a beautiful backdrop for your wedding portraits.
