Weddings & private events
The whole house, for your people
Fourteen rooms, a walled garden, a dining room with a hearth and a kitchen that cooks the season. Take the whole house for a weekend, gather thirty people for a long lunch, or slip away with two witnesses and a celebrant. One wedding a weekend, at most.
