The Cave

Brides have the luxury of their own preparation wing on the morning of their big day, so we thought it fair that they design a little somewhere special for their Groom’s too!

The Man Cave provides a cool and luxurious space for the gents to make all of their pre-wedding preparations in! Boasting a flat screen tv, PlayStation, pool table, fussball table, arcade game and it’s own lounging area, Grooms are in for a real treat from the moment they arrive.

Your Love Buggy

Their beloved love buggy enables you to access the most picturesque parts of our gardens for your wedding photographs, with minimal walking required. Their driver will escort you to any areas that your photographer wishes to access during your drink’s reception. This is a wonderful way of saving time that you should be with your loved ones and ensuring your beautiful dress remains in pristine condition throughout the day. The apple orchard, secret garden, and lily pond, all provide the most beautiful backdrops for those ever-lasting moments.
