We had a really memorable wedding here and were very happy with the whole experience. The venue itself is beautiful, with lovely views over the Cotswolds, and the rooms we stayed in for two nights were modern, cosy, and very comfortable. The food was excellent, and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. Adam and Rachel were communicative, organised, and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and their team was equally professional and accommodating during our stay. Everything ran smoothly on the wedding day, which made the experience far less stressful and allowed us to enjoy the occasion properly. We’re very grateful to the team for all their help and would definitely recommend this place to others.
