Couples can exchange vows in a magical woodland clearing, with the dramatic ruins of Druid’s Temple creating an unforgettable backdrop. Surrounded by trees and seasonal flowers, the ceremony feels intimate, peaceful and deeply connected to the landscape. Following the ceremony, celebrations continue in the Tipi, a fully furnished yet flexible space that allows couples to create a wedding that reflects their own style. With open sides, soft lighting and views across the rolling hills, this setting is perfect for a relaxed reception, with alfresco dining and dancing under the stars into the evening. The nearby Café Bistro also provides a welcoming hub, ideal for informal gatherings and refreshments during the day. Wedding packages are designed to offer both ease and flexibility, including thoughtful details such as seasonal flowers, reception drinks, canapés and a hearty wedding breakfast prepared by the estate’s chefs. From a relaxed hog roast to an upgraded grill menu, dining becomes a memorable experience for all guests. Accommodation is an integral part of the celebration, with exclusive use of the Meadow Yurt field creating a private retreat for the wedding party. Each of the 7 yurts sleeps up to 4 guests and offers a cosy and rustic stay, complete with log burning stoves and comfortable interiors, while nearby facilities ensure convenience without losing the charm of the setting. The nearby tree lodges provide additional accommodation for guests, and of course the hotel can accommodate those looking for a little extra luxury. ## Additional Features - Wedding Catering - Wedding Planner - Civil Licence ## Facilities - **Dog Friendly:** Dogs are welcome to stay in the glamping units. - **Hot Tub:** Tree House Lodges have wood fired hot tubs.
