Still a working farm
The Pells have farmed here since 1958. The barn stored grain and wintered cattle until 2009.
We kept the timber frame and the hayloft galleries, limewashed the walls, and added heating, proper toilets and a kitchen built for caterers.
From our couples
Lydia had the chairs out of the orchard and into the barn in twenty minutes when the rain came. Nobody minded. It was the best room we’ve ever been in.
Imogen and Felix We had a Thursday wedding in October for £4,950 and it didn’t feel like a cheap day at all. The fire was lit and the barn was full of candles.
Bea and Rowan Sixty people in the Stables for Dad’s 70th. Joe found him a bitter from the brewery he used to drink at in the eighties.
