The threshing barn
Oak beams, lime-washed walls and room for 120 at long tables or 180 standing. The great doors open onto the orchard on summer evenings.
Wedding venue · Cotswolds, Gloucestershire
A Cotswold manor for one wedding at a time.
We have hosted weddings since the old dairy was restored, and we still take only one celebration each weekend. You have the house, the walled garden, the threshing barn and eleven bedrooms from Friday lunchtime until Sunday brunch, with our own events team looking after every hour of it.
Viewings every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

A smaller candlelit room with its own bar, used for rehearsal dinners of forty and the Sunday brunch.

Couples who married here
“Having the house for the whole weekend meant our families actually got to know each other. Brunch in the dairy on Sunday was my dad's favourite part.”
“We were nervous about a barn in December. It was warm and candlelit, and the fires were lit long before anyone arrived.”
“Harriet answered every email within a day for fourteen months, including the one I sent at midnight about the table plan.”
Venue questions
Can we bring our own caterer?
We work with four approved caterers who know the barn kitchen. Others are welcome after a kitchen visit and a £450 site fee.
Is there a curfew?
Music stops at midnight in the barn; the house bar stays open for residents until one.
Are confetti and sparklers allowed?
Biodegradable petal confetti outdoors and sparklers on the gravel drive, both with a member of our team present.
Where do the other guests stay?
We hold rooms at three inns within six miles and send you the booking codes once your date is confirmed.
Is the estate step-free?
The barn, dairy and garden paths are step-free, and two ground-floor bedrooms have accessible bathrooms.
