About
Setting

Pentillie Castle is an impressive Cornish country Castle, sitting in the heart of a privately owned 1,500-acre estate on the beautiful banks of the River Tamar, just 20 minutes from Plymouth.

Grand in name yet intimate by nature, Pentillie offers a spectacular setting for exclusive weddings. With rolling countryside views, possibly the best view of the River Tamar, and extensive woodland gardens this secluded venue provides the most breathtaking backdrops to celebrate your wedding.

Ceremony

Saying ‘I Do’ will be one of the most significant moments of your day. Whether you envision getting married in a Church, exchanging vows under a Chuppah, a celebrant-led ceremony, a Nikah or a Hand Tying ceremony, the estate offers a variety of ceremony locations to suit your style.

At Pentillie, couples can legally marry at numerous indoor and outdoor locations across the estate. The capacities of these locations vary, allowing a wide choice for ceremonies of all sizes.

From floral backdrops, and their riverside Bathing Hut to timeless indoor spaces, at Pentillie you can marry inside or outdoors, the choice is yours.

Reception

Wedding celebrations can be as formal or relaxed as you choose. Following the ceremony, most weddings incorporate a drinks reception before moving on to the wedding breakfast, your first meal as newlyweds. The choice is yours, from a traditional fine-dining seated reception to a relaxed family shin-dig with sharing platters.

Apart from the formalities, the opportunities to let your personalities shine during your wedding day are boundless. Your celebration can be as demure or as wild as you please, and that’s to be celebrated in itself.

Enjoy traditional garden games on the Old Tennis Lawn, be entertained by magicians or caricaturists, light sparklers as the sun sets and dance barefoot to a silent disco or in stilettos to a live band.

There is no prescribed formula to weddings at Pentillie allowing you the flexibility and freedom to plan the day of your dreams.

Accommodation

Pentillie’s 11 luxurious bedrooms can accommodate 22 guests, plus four additional little ones in cots or pop-up beds. The ground floor bedroom ‘Warren’ has been designed to be fully accessible. Pentillie also has three dog-friendly bedrooms and the option to twin most bedrooms upon request.

Getting There

Located just off the A38 near Saltash, Pentillie is easily accessible. By car, it is approximately a 3.5-hour drive from London or Birmingham. Plymouth is conveniently situated on the main line from London Paddington for those travelling by train. If you’re arriving by plane, both Exeter and Newquay airports are about an hour’s drive away, and there are ideal locations on the estate for helicopter landing and take-off.

Chrissie and the team at Pentillie are absolutely incredible in so many ways. From the very first day that we met Chrissie, she ensured that she knew exactly what we wanted from our wedding and went above and beyond to make it incredibly unique. The grounds are out of this world and the house is pristinely kept. Pentillie and Chrissie are both hidden gems in the beautiful Cornish Countryside.

A & M

The first time we stepped into Pentillie Castle we were blown away, it was stunning, the views were incredible and it ticked all the right boxes for us. Leading up to our wedding day Chrissie was always in contact making sure we had everything set the way we wanted it, the build up to the wedding and on the big day, Chrissie and the team went above and beyond for us, nothing was ever too much trouble. Pentillie made our dreams come true.

Laura & Sam

Pentillie Castle & Estate is a stunning venue, lovingly curated by its staff, but unlike other country-house venues, Pentillie feels like a home-from-home and the team working there feel like extended family. This can’t be faked or manufactured. It reflects the big-hearted ethos of the staff and the flexible, thoughtful ways in which they took care of us. We had full confidence that our wedding meant as much to them as it did to us and our families, and the weekend itself proved that.

Francesca & Andy

Pentillie is a beautiful venue in a fantastic setting which along with the ability to have our closest friends & family stay with us for the entire weekend is what made it stand out. The staff however are what make it special. Chrissie & Stephen anticipated our every need on the day. If we wanted something, it was already done. They were like magic wedding fairies making sure that we didn’t have to think about a thing and that everything ran perfectly. I cannot overstate how fantastic they were.

Corinna & James

Words can’t express how much we and all our guests enjoyed the day. We’ve been inundated with messages of thanks and expressions of gratitude for their invites. You are a superb wedding coordinator. The atmosphere was amazing, food delicious, weather so kind to us and the Castle is even more beautiful than we remembered it. A truly magical weekend.

Mr & Mrs Bartram

We have just had our wedding reception at Pentillie Castle, and it truly was the most wonderful day!

From the moment we met, Pentillie’s Wedding Coordinator Chrissie went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. She was always so friendly and happy to chat over even the smallest details, was incredibly helpful with all of our questions, and made every aspect of planning our Pentillie wedding into a really special and personal experience.

Brett & Sarah

From start to finish, we had superb service and communication from all at Pentillie, especially Chrissie (Wedding Coordinator). They enabled us to have our dream wedding with every details thought of and covered, nothing was too much effort and the day ran perfectly without a hitch.

If you are thinking of having your wedding or event at Pentillie, you will not be disappointed and will be in safe hands for the whole process.

Ffion & Oscar

We had the most perfect few days. The team at Pentillie were amazing. They thought of everything. They contacted all my suppliers beforehand and sorted all the insurance & instructions, taking some of the stress off me. They gave recommendations of suppliers they had used before. The castle looked fantastic. Our family stayed for 3 nights & all had a fantastic time. Christie was calming on the day and made us all feel comfortable & able to enjoy ourselves. The perfect location with beautiful views.

Pentillie is absolutely breathtaking; inside and outside the venue is presented to the highest of standards and was loved by all our guests who attended. Absolutely 5* venue which employs the most amazing planner who is a stickler for perfection & won’t stop until your day truly is everything you hoped!

Lois & Sam

Having had to cancel our wedding abroad, we never thought we would find somewhere more amazing than what we had originally planned. Our micro wedding at Pentillie was exactly what we wanted. The staff were incredible, not only did we feel at home with our small party of guests but we also felt extremely spoiled by the team the whole weekend. Nothing was too much trouble and we only had to think of something and it was arranged without hassle. We couldn’t imagine anything more perfect.

Ashley & Christian

Thank you for the perfect wedding and everything you did for us all. We had an amazing 3 days!

Mr & Mrs Arman

We chose to have our elopement wedding at Pentillie for its unspoilt natural beauty – and we were not disappointed with our big day! Despite it being February, the weather was glorious. We married in the riverside building they call the “Bathing Hut”. It has a large window at one end looking onto the Tamar and throughout the ceremony the sun streamed in. All we could see was the river and the glorious sunshine. They lit a fire in the fireplace for us and we were plenty warm enough despite the season. After the ceremony we had photos taken around the grounds of the castle which are absolutely stunning. Everyone we’ve showed the photos to has admired the setting. The staff at Pentillie are brilliant. They made it effortless for us to organise our wedding and they made sure everything ran seamlessly on the day. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

Mel & Steve

What a venue. Fantastic place to stay, with the most beautiful grounds. Chrissy, Steve and the team couldn’t do enough, so down to earth and easy to talk to. No question was unanswered or trivial. Chrissy had suggestions if we needed them. The team are so efficient; everything on the day ran like clockwork. The bride and groom had nothing to worry about on the biggest day of their lives. To any couple looking for a venue I would so truly recommend Pentillie Castle.
