About
Setting

Huntsham Court is a grand Victorian Gothic country house, Grade II* listed, surrounded by five acres of carefully tended gardens on the Devon-Somerset border. Just minutes from Exmoor National Park, the estate combines historic scale with relaxed charm. Expansive lawns, peaceful terraces, a croquet lawn, a hidden garden, and a tennis court create a setting full of quiet corners and sweeping views, a canvas for both calm and celebration.

Ceremony

There are several ceremony options at Huntsham Court, each offering its own character and atmosphere. Indoors, the Great Hall sets the tone with dramatic dark wood panelling, marble columns, a parquet floor, and a glittering chandelier. It seats up to 100 guests or 130 when a mix of seating and standing arrangements are used, with the grand fireplace serving as a natural focal point.

Outdoors, the Dovecote offers built-in seating in a charming Victorian-style shelter wrapped in Wisteria; ideal for those who want to personalise their setting in the open air. From April to September, the Hidden Garden Tipi offers a more relaxed option, surrounded by wildflowers and styled with soft, natural tones.

Whichever space you choose, each setting captures a quiet sense of occasion and beauty.

Reception

Reception spaces at Huntsham Court offer a fluid experience that shifts effortlessly with the seasons. In warmer months, the top lawn and croquet lawn invite guests to gather with drinks and canapés. On colder days, the Great Hall brings warmth and grandeur, providing a space to mingle and pose for group photos. The Bar Snug supports a stocked bar run by you, your caterers, or an independent supplier. Meanwhile, the Diamond Room’s deep sofas offer guests a quiet place to relax as the celebration continues.

Freedom over your caterers and drink suppliers means the experience is yours to shape.

Accommodation

With 42 uniquely styled bedrooms accommodating up to 100 guests, Huntsham Court is exceptionally well suited to weekend-long weddings. The rooms blend period detail with comfort – four-poster and canopy beds, antique bathtubs, timber beams, chandeliers, and vibrant fabrics.

Most bedrooms are en-suite, with a few offering particularly spacious bathrooms. There are flexible arrangements available for families, couples, and individuals requiring accessible ground-floor options. Additional accommodation can be found just a short walk away in the Garden Wing, Little Lodge, and Gate House Lodge.

Your guests can settle in for the weekend without ever needing to leave.

Food & Drink

Rather than prescribing packages, Huntsham Court gives you complete freedom to choose your own caterers and drink suppliers. Whether you want to hand-pick everything or lean on their list of trusted local experts, the choice is yours.

The bar is corkage-free and hired empty, so you’re welcome to stock it however you like. Many couples opt to bring their own wine or collaborate with local brewers and mixologists. Cocktail specialists are especially popular, adding a celebratory flair to the evening.

You’re free to shape the day to suit your tastes, with as much support as you want.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a quiet but firm commitment at Huntsham Court. A private well beneath the house supplies all the water on-site, purified and chemical-free, removing the need for bottled water. Bathrooms are stocked with refillable, eco-friendly toiletries.

Beehives, tucked discreetly around the grounds, support biodiversity and pollinate garden flowers and nearby crops. Log usage in winter is carefully managed, utilising recycled timber from trees felled under the guidance of the local council. Over 2,000 new shrubs and trees have been planted to support the surrounding ecosystem.

Getting There

Huntsham Court is conveniently located, just 15 minutes from Tiverton Parkway station – a direct two-hour train from London – and 15 minutes from the M5 at Junction 27. Tiverton, Taunton, and Exeter are all nearby. The venue is also accessible by air: helicopters can land on-site (weather permitting), and a private airstrip is located three miles away for small aircraft.

The best Wedding Venue!

We got married at Huntsham Court a month ago and it was the most perfect wedding weekend! The venue strikes the perfect balance between allowing you to have your own stamp but without leaving you to do it all on your own, something that was invaluable in the final few weeks and on the day. Our guests had the best time staying onsite and exploring the surroundings, they all commented on how beautiful the rooms were

Everything that made the atmosphere at our wedding special was the way the venue works and we couldn’t recommend it enough!

Huntsham Court exceeded all our expectations, making our Civil Partnership weekend an absolute dream. From the outset, the venue’s incredible flexibility stood out, allowing us to customize every aspect of our experience. The ability to choose from various room hire combinations ensured that we could tailor the space to perfectly suit our needs, adjusting staffing arrangements based on the number of guests and planned activities.

Huntsham Court truly lives up to its promise of being “your house” during your stay. We booked the venue for three days, bringing in various entertainers, and every request was met with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude that set Huntsham apart from other venues.

The grand rooms and impeccable decor throughout the house were major highlights for us, and our guests were equally enamoured with their accommodations and the stunning grounds. Huntsham Court seamlessly combines opulence with a warm, homely atmosphere, allowing you to bask in country splendour or stroll around feeling like the lord or lady of the manor.

The regular staff at Huntsham Court are an absolute delight, dedicated to ensuring that every detail is taken care of. Their attentiveness made running the house feel effortless from a host’s perspective.

If you have the opportunity to attend an event at Huntsham Court, don’t hesitate—jump at it! And if you’re considering Huntsham for your own event, rest assured that you’re unlikely to be disappointed. It’s a gem of a venue that goes above and beyond to make your experience truly extraordinary.

I highly recommend this venue, having recently stayed here, and using it for our wedding. On our initial arrival, we were blown away by the country charm. The venue decorated itself well with the features, paintings, woodwork and fireplaces. Given our autumn theme the colour scheme was perfect in addition to our decorations. Further to this, we needed to be prepared that the event may all be indoors given the time of year the venue offered closeness of guests with the main rooms close together and cosy. The charm left our guests in awe, having never seen it before. The venue offered a home comfort feel with a relaxed and friendly vibe like staying home from home. The staff were flexible and understanding in things we wanted to achieve, assisting in setting up a charity bar and general layout parking including the arrival of a coach. The staff made everything seem stress-free when planning got too much. Nothing was too small or too big to ask. On our arrival, we were greeted by our wedding planner, who felt more like a friend, which was lovely and our multi-talented chauffeur, who helped us pack away the alcohol and goodies for the main day. The day itself ran smoothly. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Then, on Sunday, everyone was welcomed to breakfast which was kept topped up, and we helped to clean up where we could before checking out. I would recommend the venue, especially if it meant I would have the chance to go back and enjoy it all over again! Brilliant team, perfect wedding! Thank you!!

This is quite simply the best wedding venue! Thank you to all the lovely staff who gave Tom and me the wedding experience of our dreams.
Huntsham Court is stunning. We had every weather possible over the weekend, and it really didn’t matter. All of the rooms and the bedrooms were gorgeous, and our guests were blown away. Despite being a huge, grand building, it felt like a home away from home for the weekend, and I can’t wait to find an excuse to return.

Huntsham was everything we wanted and more for our wedding. Our main criteria was to find a place that slept most of the guests so we could host multiple events across the weekend for everyone flying across the world to be with us. Huntsham allowed us to have everything from a casual backyard garden party on Friday, a cute intimate church ceremony, a formal sit-down wedding breakfast and a lively 2am dance floor all in the one place. Our guests could not stop raving about the Venue.

Huntsham also offers full flexibility on the whole event, which we loved. We got to choose all our own suppliers and have the day exactly as we wanted.

The staff are unbelievable; they are so friendly and helpful, and they make everything run smoothly. It was honestly the best decision we made throughout the whole planning process!

Words cannot describe how much we loved our wedding weekend. Our guests all said it was the best wedding that they had ever attended. It was perfect from start to finish.
We started with a pizza and Prosecco party on the Friday night, a 5k wedding run Saturday morning followed by the traditional wedding day (with a church blessing at All Saints), finally finishing with a Sunday brunch.

The venue is incredible and everyone was blown away by Huntsham Court. We didn’t need many decorations as it is so perfectly decorated by the owners, with a huge Christmas tree as a perfect December touch. Everyone loved their bedrooms, which are all so uniquely incredible (I wish I could spend a night at each one!)

From the moment we reached out to Huntsham in January, we were met with professionalism and excellence. Our wedding planner, Laura (Kept Weddings) was unbelievable – nothing was soo much trouble and everything ran seamlessly on the day bringing our exact vision to life. My mum would like to say a special thank you to Colin, who saved the day with the cake! All the staff were also amazing and helped in every way possible.

Each room is beyond beautiful – a candlelit dinner in the yellow room and library (my favourite room), dancing till the early hours in the great hall and wandering the grounds (even on a freezing day in December). Don’t even hesitate to book Huntsham – you could never be disappointed. We wish we could do it all over again (and again and again!).

Thank you so much again. A year of great uncertainty and stress for our family ended with the best memories we could ever ask for, and that is down to everyone at Huntsham Court.

It was the wedding we had been dreaming about for years! Everything ran smoothly, we were so relaxed and enjoyed all of it. It was extraordinary! We have had so many people telling us how stunning the house is and how this was the best wedding they have ever been to. The staff were all amazing and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you! Thank you!

Daphnee & James

I just wanted to say a huge heartfelt thank you from Ian and I to you and all of the staff at Huntsham Court. We had an incredible few days that none of us will ever forget… Our friends and family loved every second, as did we! In particular, the housekeeping staff, bar staff and team are such an asset to Huntsham Court. They all work so hard, they are incredibly friendly, super professional and are obviously very passionate about what they do and are proud to be a part of Huntsham Court – we felt very privileged to have their help throughout and appreciated it so much! Chris and Damian should be so proud of what they have created – their vision is inspiring. What they set out to achieve and ultimately what they have created is incredible, truly unique and so so unbelievably special. They have also built the best team who are all clearly so very proud and passionate about where they work and who they work for. We feel privileged to have been able to experience the magic that is Huntsham Court and will forever cherish the memories we made with our close friends and family. Wishing you all so much love, laughter, good health and happiness now and always.

Carly & Ian

We both want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your help in making our wedding weekend in January absolutely perfect. Our event manager – you were simply fantastic from day one. You were always on hand to help and you gave us brilliant advice. The staff were all so charming and endlessly helpful, knowing exactly what was needed before we even realised. We cannot thank you all enough.

Katherine & Jubin

We had our wedding on New Year’s Eve at Huntsham Court. For context, we had 121 guests, had our church ceremony on the Huntsham land, and stayed for 2 nights – we had 40 guests staying at the venue with us on the first night and c.80 staying for the second (the remaining guests stayed in nearby hotels). We cannot sufficiently explain how wonderful this venue and its staff are but we will try!

Huntsham Court seems to be able to offer you both a blank canvas if you choose to decorate the venue to your own taste and also sufficient character if you choose to leave the venue as is. It’s the perfect venue for dry hire – the local area boasts a huge selection of suppliers – all with their own experience of working at the venue to be able to guide you through your planning experience.

As for planning, the venue has a ridiculously good set of wedding coordinators and staff members. We used Jennifer as our coordinator/planner, and we have been unbelievably impressed with her work – we had a rather far-fetched set of ideas, and Jennifer and the Huntsham staff executed them impeccably. The Huntsham staff think of everything down to the amount of tea bags you might want to buy to keep everyone happy. They are also incredibly well-connected with suppliers. It’s hard to understand how the venue can be as amazing as it is, with a staff as professional and wonderful all for such good value.

The venue works for both smaller groups (the venue was perfectly sized for the 40 guests we had to stay the night before) and also transforms to work incredibly well for larger groups (121 total for the wedding day). It is quite frankly magical – a beautiful house on a beautiful piece of land. We have visited both in the summer and then in the winter for our wedding and it is beautifully arranged for weddings across all seasons. If you want to dance and party all night – the venue can do that (the Great Hall is an amazing dancing experience – the venue has adorable LED lights that can be turned onto party mode, an in-house bar and space for an extra bar if you want), if you’d rather a cosy dinner – the venue can do this too (we had a more intimate dinner the night before our wedding) and if you’d rather the venue is used for a relaxed affair with board games and guests making cups of tea it can do this too (it has multiple reception rooms without feeling too big, un-homely or overwhelming).

We cannot recommend this venue enough. It’s great value for what it offers, it has endless ways to make your wedding unique to you and it has an amazing group of staff members who will help you make your special day truly wonderful.

Jade & Christian

Huntsham Court is the most magical of venues. We spent many months searching for a location where we could create a special but relaxed atmosphere for all of our guests. From the moment we met Chris on our first visit up until our wedding day, where our Event Planner pulled out all the stops to make sure everything ran smoothly, we felt so well looked after. The team guided us through with an abundance of ideas but we were also given the space to make the house our own. We had the most incredible weekend, which we will never forget, this is a one in a million venue.

David & Wendy

The ambience, the staff and the ability to do whatever our imagination could allow, plus a little bit more. Huntsham Court has amazing grounds and stunning rooms- we loved the kitchen and pantry areas for the family to grab breakfast in the mornings over tea and coffee.

Natalie, our wedding coordinator, was great from start to finish, too. We had a lot of intricate personal touches and suppliers to sew together into the day and moments when the kids in the family would be involved, too, and Natalie was an expert at getting everything captured pre-event and in motion across the weekend. She was also amazing at calming our nerves as well as theirs ahead of the ceremony and getting the best out of the littlies in the Bridal party as they entered the room. Bravo!

Our external suppliers; Milkshed Catering, street food vendors and hog roasts, were accommodated in the grounds to add some high-quality informal food on our reception evening and late on the wedding day. They were welcomed and blended in seamlessly with the venue team and operation. The band, entertainers, clayser shooting and DJ also had their access and set-ups seamlessly facilitated too. An amazing weekend that our friends and family have been raving about all year and that all of us will remember for a lifetime.

We could not have asked for more! Thank you to the entire Huntsham team. The venue was beautiful and so we’ll organised. Our ceremony was perfect and all of the staff involved were so helpful. Thank you and we hope to return soon!

Jenna & Jack

From the decor, space, and staff members, there is nowhere like Huntsham. It was home from home but also formal and beautifully unique. The staff have been a dream in every single way. Our planner went above and beyond for us. The house has a magical feeling to it that I can’t explain, think when you were a child and you wake up excited, that kind of magic. I recommend Huntsham and the team to anyone who wants the best wedding ever, there is absolutely nothing I’d change apart from to do it again. I didn’t want to leave.

My son and partner got married at Huntsham Court four weeks ago and it was out of this world! Everything from the beautiful surroundings and opulent furnishings (made even more spectacular with the Christmas tree and decorations) to the incredible attention to detail on all levels from the fabulous staff and caterers. Jennifer, Clair and co could not have done more and the feedback we have had from all the guests reflects this. I cannot recommend highly enough.

FAQs
Do you have a music License?

Our license allows live or amplified music to be played until 1am. We also have Sonos in the five ground-floor reception rooms, so when the live music ends, you are welcome to play your very own playlist to keep the party going until the early hours.

Do you charge corkage?

No, we don't charge corkage on any drinks you'd like to bring and supply at your event. This means you can stock the bar as you wish, serve whatever you want during your reception and wedding breakfast with no additional fee. The bar itself is provided empty, so you are welcome to design and create your own bar to suit your style and taste, all without worrying about extra costs!

Do we have to take all 42 bedrooms?

Huntsham Court has 42 bedrooms across the estate. The main house has 29 bedrooms; we have three more properties within close walking distance, providing an additional 13 bedrooms. The whole estate can sleep up to 100 guests. However, we appreciate that you may not need all 42 bedrooms, so we offer the option of hiring zones. The first collection of rooms comprises 21 bedrooms, and then the next layer will take you to 29. You can add the cottages as you need to fit your guest numbers.

Do I have to use your caterers?

Huntsham Court is hired as a self-catered venue, meaning you are not tied to any packages or using specific suppliers. You are more than welcome to design your event to suit your needs. We have recommended suppliers to help you plan where needed, but you are free to pick any caterer you wish!

What kind of support do I get when planning my wedding?

Once you have booked, you will be assigned a dedicated Event Planner around six months before your event. This personal touch ensures that you have a professional on hand to support you with organising suppliers, assist with creating schedules, talk through layouts, and answer any questions you may have, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your event planning.
