Set across 320 private acres in the Cotswolds, Gulliver’s Hall is an elegant familial estate that is part of the Unique Homestays wedding venue collection. A mile-long avenue of chestnut trees leads to the stone wedding barn, surrounded by wildflower meadows, gardens, woodland, and a garden featuring Giacometti-style bronze statues; a landscape that offers endless opportunities for photography. The main house is rich with art, history and a sense of English eclecticism. Think stained glass windows and four-poster beds.
The estate offers different options for the ceremony. Couples can opt for a humanist wedding in the historic stone barn, complete with vaulted ceilings with original timber beams. Alternatively, they might choose a blessing in the wildflower gardens, surrounded by blooming flora.
The wedding barn features bar facilities and a fully stocked catering kitchen. Here, guests can dine around banqueting tables festooned with seasonal blooms, and dance late into the night. Alternatively, couples might hire Neapolitan pizzaiolos to whip up a relaxed al fresco feast, followed by a silent disco in the garden. The estate’s owners, a garden designer and the founder of a forest education enterprise, have infused the property with a love of nature and a playful eccentricity.
When the night draws to a close, overnight guests can choose from seven bedrooms in the main house or three modern bedrooms in the pool house. An outdoor pool (open from April to October), sauna and steam room are also at their disposal.
What an unbelievable weekend! It’s been heavenly from start to finish. The quality of everything in this house is top-notch. It’s been fitting to have such a special event at such a special place with wonderful people. Thank you for everything. I will never forget my stay here!

We feel so fortunate to have had our wedding reception at Gulliver’s Hall in the beautiful village of Bisley. The house, which accommodated 21 of our guests, is exceptional down to the smallest detail. A beautiful home for us all, which made for the happiest weekend. The stunningly converted barn and farm buildings provided a magical space for the best evening. The owners went above and beyond in helping to facilitate things and made the whole planning process enjoyable and exciting rather than stressful. We felt incredibly supported by them from the very start, and they really did go above and beyond. Unique Homestays were also great throughout the process. We look forward to returning to Gulliver’s Hall in the years to come.

Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend better than we could have ever dreamed it could be. From the first time we came to Gulliver’s Hall in April, we fell in love with its beauty and warmth, which you created. You have been there every step of the way in the preparations, supporting us right up to the church door! You truly went above and beyond in helping us, from setting us up with the vendors to even providing the bridal chauffeur!

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!

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.
