Water’s Edge, nestled in the tranquil Cotswold village of Ewen, offers a serene escape from the bustling city life. Its strategic location, just 4 miles from Cirencester town and a quick 3-minute drive to Kemble station, ensures easy connectivity to London. This perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty makes Water’s Edge an ideal choice for your special event.
Water’s Edge, with its unique L-shaped barn design, unfolds across two storeys. The ground floor houses the main party space, a delightful dining room with an inviting open fireplace. Adjacent to it, a spacious bar and lounge area set the stage for mingling. Adding to the magic, guests can witness the culinary artistry of the in-house chef team in the open theatre-style kitchen. As guests venture outdoors, they are greeted by a stylish stretch tent adorned with twinkly fairy lights and, following a short walk, by the enchanting sight of spring-fed lakes, providing an exquisite backdrop for the leisurely sipping of cocktails.
The festivities commence in the barn’s bar area, where a meticulously crafted panelled bar serves as the room’s focal point. Revellers can enjoy a selection of locally sourced Cotswold ales, traditional champagne, and signature cocktails tailored to satisfy every taste.
A panelled dining room accommodates up to 110 seated guests, while the option to add a marquee alongside enables the inclusion of additional guests for a delightful sit-down meal. As twilight descends, the dining room transforms into an inviting dancefloor, ensuring that celebrations continue in style.
At Water’s Edge, the accomplished in-house chef team expertly prepares all culinary delights in the theatre kitchen. The menus are thoughtfully designed around the couple’s preferences, using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. From sumptuous sharing platters and delectable grilled feasts to indulgent feasting menus, the options are tailored to create a culinary experience that reflects the couple’s unique style. After nightfall, a delightful ‘Munchies’ menu awaits, featuring luxurious cheese toasties, stone-baked pizzas, and locally sourced gourmet hot dogs.
Upstairs, the venue offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including an exquisite couple’s suite. Complete with a charming roll-top bath, a separate dressing room, a contemporary en-suite, and a lavish super-kingsize luxury padded bed, the couple’s suite provides an inviting sanctuary for the newlyweds. Additionally, two more bedrooms comfortably accommodate up to four extra guests, with a shared bathroom adorned with a bath and shower nestled between the rooms.
As guests venture outdoors, they can follow the meandering garden path through Water’s Edge’s enchanting rolling grounds. Amongst graceful willow trees and manicured lawns, a charming private lake and an outdoor ceremony structure await, providing an idyllic setting for couples to exchange their vows and declare their eternal love.
We recently had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Water’s Edge at Ewen, and from start to finish, the experience was beyond anything we could have imagined! From our first visit, we knew this venue was special. It combines a stunning location with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel completely at home. The attention to detail and care shown by the staff made us feel not only comfortable but truly valued and looked after.
A huge part of this experience was thanks to Will, our incredible wedding coordinator. From the moment we met him, Will made us feel like our wedding was as important to him as it was to us. His organisation, kindness, and genuine excitement made the planning process a breeze. He guided us every step of the way, from answering countless questions to helping us finalise all the details, and it was clear he cared deeply about making our day perfect. On the day itself, Will worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and allowing us to relax and fully enjoy each moment with our loved ones.
The entire team at Water’s Edge was also fantastic. They anticipated our needs, and the day ran like clockwork thanks to their seamless coordination and professionalism. Every staff member we encountered was kind, warm, and genuinely happy to be part of our celebration, creating an atmosphere of joy that resonated with all our guests. From the small touches to the big moments, it was evident that everyone cared deeply about making our wedding unforgettable.
Water’s Edge at Ewen didn’t just provide a venue; they created an experience that exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the setting, the thoughtfulness of the staff, and the smooth, flawless flow of the day. We feel so fortunate to have had our wedding here and are forever grateful to Will and the entire team for giving us a day that was truly perfect in every way!

From our first visit to the venue on a frosty morning in January, a warm welcome from Steve and Emma made us feel very relaxed and welcome, and the venue is so gorgeous all year round that it sold itself. We fell in love with both the venue and the team and knew that they would make every little detail possible. All our guests could not stop complimenting us on how great our venue choice was and how lovely the team had been. Steve and Emma have built something really special here at Waters Edge!

The team at Water’s Edge made our wedding reception! From start to finish they were incredibly accommodating, very helpful and just a pleasure to work with. The facilities at the venue are superb – from the bridal suite to the bar, the function room and the courtyard; the venue is just beautiful!
We got lots of positive comments from our guests about the food and drinks served, especially from those who had dietary requirements who noted how well they were accommodated for. We highly recommend reaching out to the Water’s Edge team if you are looking for a wedding venue where you can do it all in one place and have a wonderful day with your loved ones!
Married May 2022
We got married at Waters Edge. The whole team were incredible from start to finish. They allowed us to be ourselves and show off their incredible venue in our own way. It was roughly 18 months from booking the venue to the day of the wedding, and throughout that time, we had many conversations with Emma and Steve, bombarding them with questions and ideas. Everyone says ‘things will always go wrong on your wedding day, just don’t worry’. We can honestly say the entire day went perfectly, and this was down to the Waters Edge team. Making sure everyone and everything was where it should be at the right time. We can’t thank them enough for everything they did.
As for the venue itself, we don’t need to say a word. Look at the photos, it says it all. Perfection!
Thank you so much for giving us the most wonderful day!

Excellent venue, so special and in the most beautiful surroundings. It is peaceful, secluded and everything you would want for a Cotswolds wedding. From the moment we enquired, the team here have been exceptional – from viewings to tastings to taking our family to see the venue – the team here could not be any better. Huge thank you to Will, who coordinated the day itself and was incredible – he is unflappable, nothing is too much trouble, and he gave us complete confidence from the second we arrived. Huge thank you also to Chef Danny, who created the most spectacular menu – many guests have commented since, saying how fantastic the food was.
This venue nails it, you could not want for more. Beautiful surroundings, exceptional service and the most caring and kind staff you could wish for. Highly recommend.

We got married at Water’s Edge in September and we absolutely loved the beautiful setting as the backdrop of our very special day. The guys have created a stunning venue and we’re so pleased we got to be one of the first years’ couples. Thank you to you for all of your support and hard work over the weekend, our guests were very impressed and special thanks to Alex to always making sure we had a drink in our hand!
Married September 2023
If you’re looking for a wedding venue, look no further! Water’s Edge and the whole team are incredible and we were so glad we chose it as our wedding venue. The venue itself is stunning. We visited at various times of the year, and it always looked beautiful.
We got married by the water and even had a couple of swans present for the ceremony! We celebrated down by the lake with drinks and canapés and then headed up to the main building for a delicious meal, dancing and drinks. Danny, the chef, is very talented and everything we ate on the day was delicious and beautifully presented.
We loved the fact it is a family-run business and the whole team went out of their way to accommodate any of our requests. On the day Will was fantastic at making sure everything went smoothly and checking we were okay.
A big thank you to everyone at Water’s Edge!

As one of our guests said, it was like a movie set – Water’s Edge is picture-perfect, but behind the incredible location is an amazing team of outstanding people who could not have done more to ensure we had the best day from start to finish. Will, Chris and Emma to name but a few delivered before we even knew we wanted – thank you one and all for a spectacular day and memories that will last forever, you truly are very special.
Married July 2024
We got married at Waters Edge close to Christmas, and it was honestly the best day! It was everything we envisioned, and more thanks to Will and the team.
We chose a last-minute wedding to plan in July, ready for December. We fell in love with the grounds, the building, the decor and the accommodation. Following this, we booked!
We had a couple of meetings with Will and emails back and forth on how we envisioned the day.
We’re quite hands off people and took a more relaxed style to planning our wedding, but obviously wanted the day to go off without a hitch, each call with Will filled us with confidence that the day would be executed to a high standard. Will also prompted things that we hadn’t thought about and really took care of the little details. Will coordinated the day, and the whole team over-delivered so much that we considered it absolutely flawless. Cannot recommend this venue enough, no matter what the weather or season, this venue is prepped for you to have a perfect day.
We opted for a feast-style wedding breakfast, and it was outstanding! We had so many compliments from our family and friends.
We can’t thank Will and the team enough for making our day so incredibly special and so fun! We can’t wait to go back one day!
Married December 2024
Will, Steve, Emma, and the rest of the team at Water’s Edge are second to none. We had a fantastic wedding at the end of September 2024, and we could not have asked for more.
Nothing was too much to ask. The Hewer family are so accommodating and did so much proactive work for us that the event went off without a hitch.
The accommodation is gorgeous, the lake is beautifully serene, and our guests said it’s comfortably the best wedding breakfast they have ever had! Thank you so much to Will and the team for giving us the day of our dreams.

Water’s Edge is an incredible venue! We got married at Water’s Edge in October 2024, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to look after us and our guests. We were looking at various venues for a while but when we came across Water’s Edge and met some of the team during our visit, we knew this venue was the one for us. The venue is stunning, but we also loved their attention to detail and bubbly nature, and they just made us feel at ease.
Will, Emma, Steve and the rest of the team were awesome. They were so attentive from the start; they were super clear in their communications, answered all our many questions, and made the whole process feel easy from start to finish. Will did an outstanding job coordinating the day and everything went so smoothly. It was also so lovely that Will checked in on us throughout the day to check if we needed anything.
The venue and the grounds are gorgeous, and the food was amazing!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our wedding day, so a massive thank you to everyone at Water’s Edge! Highly recommended!
Married October 2024
Water’s Edge hosted our wedding in July 2023. From viewing the venue to the ceremony itself, Steve, Emma and Alex (the team behind the venue) were fantastic. They went out of their way to make our day extra special and they could not have been more friendly and helpful and our guests were seriously impressed. We are thrilled that we chose Water’s Edge for our wedding venue and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue.
Married July 2023
Fantastic new purpose-built venue:
The staff at Water’s Edge are absolutely wonderful. They were able to accommodate every need and requirement that we had and remained professional and polite throughout our time of booking all the way up to the big day.
They kept the day running to schedule and made sure everyone was catered for.
The venue is absolutely stunning and all our guests said what a perfect day it was. We couldn’t have wished for more!

We got married at Waters Edge in August 2023. A stunning venue that provided us with the intimate outdoor experience we were looking for. Alex, Emma and Steve took time to listen and work with our suppliers to create a truly memorable experience for all fifty of our guests. If you are thinking about booking Waters Edge, don’t hesitate, you will not regret it!
Married August 2023
My (now husband!) Ian and I got married here in September 2024.
When we started looking at wedding venues around a year and a half prior, we were disappointed because we just didn’t feel like anywhere we visited was special enough for our day, and we ended up putting a halt to our search. We then decided a few months later to look again and thought we would look for venues in the Cotswolds.
We saw this new venue, Water’s Edge, and called up, and were invited only a few days later to come and have a personal visit with the owner. We were so taken by the venue, it is so beautiful and we really fell in love with it. We really loved also that it is a family business rather than a big chain, so the personal feel and attention to detail was obvious to us from the outset.
We were well communicated with, from reserving our date to planning beforehand with Will, and then over our wedding weekend, everything was just taken care of.
Everything was, honestly, so amazing: the staff, the food, the views, the decor, just everything was so perfect, and we really do feel that our special day was made so much more special because we were in such a beautiful venue. Thank you, Water’s Edge, for making our day so lovely and for being so welcoming from start to finish.
Married September 2024
We got married at Waters Edge back in September, and it was perfect!
Firstly, the whole process was completely stress-free. Emma originally was handling the booking with us and she was confident and relaxed and always able to answer questions and sort anything that was needed. We saw the venue before the farmhouse was built and trusted their vision, and I’m so glad we did. Not only was the wedding down by the water so gorgeous and everything we needed, but the farmhouse for everything else was spot on. From its beautiful finishes to the perfect environment for making it your own and making it a place people want to be, it was everything we wanted as a venue.
Will took the lead, especially on the day, and everything ran flawlessly and without stress. I cannot thank him enough!
What Steve, Emma, and Will (and everyone else involved) have managed to achieve here is special, and I hope more and more people get to experience such an amazing day here!
Married September 2024
My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at Water’s Edge in July 2024, and I am still living on that wedding high! This venue honestly speaks for itself, the beauty you see in the photos is real, just totally unbelievable and utterly breathtaking. The day was better than we could ever have imagined, and I feel very lucky to have been able to get married here! Will was amazing the entire three days we were there and throughout the lead-up. Making sure we were okay, helping where needed and accommodating any of our requests. The chefs were fantastic, taking on board our requests and creating the most delicious food! If you’re looking at getting married somewhere beautiful, surrounded by nature, somewhere tranquil and special, get married here. You won’t regret it!
Married July 2024
We had the best day we could ever have wished for at the stunning Water’s Edge. The organisation before and on the day was excellent and all our wishes were catered for. The bridal suite, guest accommodation and venue are all fabulous and of such a high standard. Food was excellent and all of our guests had the most amazing time. It really felt like our day and that we were at home, given the time and space to enjoy the celebration. Thank you Water’s Edge!
Married June 2023
We had a fabulous day getting married at Water’s Edge! The setting down by the lakes is so different, so beautiful and so special, and the modern bar and dining facilities close at hand were spot on, too. The meal was excellent. This was all despite periods of heavy rainfall, with which Will and the team coped easily, reacting to rearrange things smoothly and quickly. This included using their stretch tent down by the water as well as their indoor facilities. That flexibility was vital on the day and no problem at all. The outdoor sections also seemed to have no issue coping with the rainfall. It was such a pleasure dealing with Will, Emma and Steve in the build-up, as well as on the day and in the aftermath. The bedrooms and bathrooms are gorgeous. The whole experience was unforgettable and as good as we could have dreamed of. Big thanks from Richard and Caroline.
Married July 2024
Yes, you can; we hope to be as flexible as possible. However, having over ten years of experience in weddings, we are delighted to give local recommendations for florists and suppliers.
We have options. We have a beautiful stretch tent that can be erected for the ceremony by the lakes, but if the weather is really awful, we can open up our gorgeous green-panelled ceremony room for the service in Water's Edge.
Our wedding coordinators are brilliant; they will work with you every step of the way to create your dreams. From tastings to management on the day.
You have exclusive use of the venue for two days and lakes for the ceremony.
