"The house and grounds are beautiful, and literally every photo has an incredible backdrop. Suzy the host was so kind and patient and accommodating, and it was obvious from start to finish that the happy couple were her overriding priority. Being able to have guests staying at the venue took away a lot of the stress of travel and accommodation, and it meant the wedding was more relaxed and less time constrained. Suzy’s recommended vendors for marquee etc were excellent, and the fact that they know the venue well made for smooth and joined-up service. I cannot thank the hosts enough for their amazing hospitality and kindness, the wedding was truly everything we’d hoped for and more. THANK YOU!! "
