New for 2024 – The Woodland Sanctuary

The Woodland Sanctuary is truly a magical space to exchange your vows in. It is located at the very beginning of the woodland walk, a very short walking distance from cottages. It has been designed with a level access and is wheelchair and pram friendly. The Sanctuary is encased by the river with a large oak arbour at one end and the entire sanctuary sits under a canopy of mature trees. Around the outskirts and pathways through out the Sanctuary the ground hosts a variety of wild woodland flowers, ferns, wild garlic and bluebells.

Brochures are available on request and appointments can be booked though the contact us page. We highly recommend arranging a tour of the grounds and facilities to see what we can offer and tailor make a day for you.

Judith and Steve, Cambridgeshire

My family has stayed here many times including two visits this year. The cottages are very nice and have everything you need. They are user friendly and you don't feel continuous panic if you have young children there! The grounds and setting are completely stunning. My family and I lay in the garden outside our cottage and listened to the sound of the birds wings whirring through the air as they sped around the buildings. We are talking seriously peaceful!

Craig, London
