Testimonials

Amy Simmons

What an amazing and beautiful venue! We had our wedding here 2 weeks ago and I would do it all over again. The venue is so gorgeous, the cottages are lovely and homely and the staff are friendly, welcoming and such wonderful people. John and Emma made our day so special we were sad to leave on the Sunday. The food on the day was absolutely divine and we have had so many great comments from the guests about it and the venue itself!! Words cannot describe how magical it is there and we loved our wedding day so much we would not have wanted it anywhere else. ❤️. I would highly recommend having your wedding here. If you want a stunning venue for not just one day but from Friday to Sunday, amazing food and great owners, look no further. Xx

Without question the Great Barn is the best and most beautiful wedding venue we have ever been to. The moment we walked in , it was deal done. All I would say is that no photo can do the barn justice!
We got married in September 2023.
The whole weekend from start to finish was impeccable.
John, Emma, Suzie, Tom and the entire team were just phenomenal. They could not have been more helpful, professional and attentive. Every little detail is thought about and it took a lot of stress off us before and on the big day.
Liaising with Suzie in the run up was so helpful, she always responded so quickly and nothing was too much to ask.
Could not recommend this venue more, there really isn't a single thing we would have changed about our wedding weekend other than wishing we could do it all again!
An absolute flawless 10/10.
Thank you to John, Emma, Suzie and the team.
