Gulliver’s Hall, a familial estate set across 320 private acres in the Cotswolds, offers an enchanting blend of timeless elegance and bohemian flair. The estate is reached via a mile-long avenue of chestnut trees, leading to a stone wedding barn, wildflower gardens, and an array of forests, pastures, and hay meadows.
The landscape provides endless opportunities for photography, with winding trails, ancient stone steps, and hidden corners scattered throughout the grounds. The main house is rich with art and history, featuring a unique fusion of English charm and worldly eclecticism. Inside, ancestral stained glass windows cast a kaleidoscopic glow, while casement seats offer intimate spaces for conversation.
The estate offers multiple options for wedding ceremonies. Couples can exchange vows in the stone wedding barn, a charming and rustic venue. Alternatively, they may choose a blessing in the wildflower gardens, surrounded by nature and blooming flora.
Let your imagination run wild with woodland scavenger hunts, midnight paddling under the stars, and gourmet pizza prepared by a Neapolitan pizzaiolo. As the festivities unfold, guests can enjoy uninhibited silent discos, barefoot croquet tournaments, and ice cream from a pop-up parlour.
Weddings here are a celebration of individuality, where frivolity takes precedence over strict tradition. The estate’s owners, a garden designer and the founder of a forest education enterprise, have infused the property with a love for nature and a sense of playful eccentricity.
Every aspect of our stay was exceptional, from the facilities and accommodation to the views, gardens, and historical setting. Many, many thanks for all your thought and preparation to make our celebration such a resounding success!

Magical! From the first time, we came to Gulliver’s Hall, magical was the world that came to mind, and the owner’s attention to detail and warm, welcoming manner was the icing on the cake! Everyone in our party had a wonderful time and enjoyed all that their beautiful home had to offer. It is sad to go, but we have created memories that none of us will forget. We look forward to returning in the future.

A really wonderful week of lunches and dinners leading up to the family wedding. The dining table worked so well, the barn was perfect for dancing, and the outdoor spaces were really atmospheric. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, to whom we say thank you for letting us share this very special place. We are exhausted but very happy!
