Set in splendour, our grand country estate overlooks parkland, an extensive lake and rolling Shropshire countryside with beautiful gardens to the rear. The Estate is still privately owned by Robin and Lucinda and they still live here with their 4 x children.
We are primarily an exclusive hire wedding venue with a wonderful turquoise free-standing Ballroom but we also have 14 self-catering holiday cottages and an additional 10 glamping ‘hidden treasures’ dotted around the estate for wedding guests to stay on site and for families and friends to come all year round and holiday within the Shropshire Hills.
We have yurts, travellers caravans, traditional cottages and even a converted tin Chapel in the woods which people can stay in - it's amazing!
With a 'quirky' and characterful vibe which is why it is so popular for couples to book as their wedding venue and have all their guests staying with them for the weekend and to make sure of the extensive grounds as much as possible.
We have a very busy season ahead with 42 weddings booked this year (we're nearly half way through!) and thousands of guests coming to stay on site we need to extend our team to make sure the estate runs smoothly in the busiest times!
