Testimonials

Barley Wood is a fantastic venue - weddings, events and more. Great team too!

We had our wedding at Barley Wood in June 2026 and couldn't have been happier. Zach was great to work with during the planning process - he answered all our questions quickly and helped make sure we had everything in order. On the wedding weekend, Connor did a great job making sure we had everything we needed for the wedding to run smoothly.

The venue itself is beautiful. We were able to bring all our ideas to life and really put our own stamp on the wedding day. We loved that we were able to bring in our own suppliers for food and wine to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. It was also great to have accommodation available Friday and Saturday nights so we could relax at the venue before and after the wedding.

We are so happy we chose to get married at Barley Wood! The views and venue are amazing and our outside ceremony felt extremely special!
You have creative freedom to set up the day however you wish, decorate how you want and bring your choice of vendors in, making it very personal to us!
Having the venue for the weekend and being able to have so many people stay meant we could really enjoy it and didn’t feel like it went too quickly!
Zach was so helpful every step of the way and really made the planning and day go so smoothly! Connor and the bar team as well were all so great and welcoming on the day! Would recommend to anyone planning a wedding to consider getting married here, it’s a very special venue!

If we could give 6 stars we would (wood). From our initial meeting with Zach to the day of the wedding, and the last minute switch inside, we felt valued and put at ease. The venue's location and flexibility was fantastic and helped make a magical weekend. We cannot recommend enough.

We were recently lucky enough to have our wedding at Barley Wood. The venue is stunning; we fell in love with it as soon as we arrived for our first viewing and the profit going to a worthy cause was an extra sweetener. All the rooms are lovely, and it had all the equipment needed to make the stay comfortable and run smoothly. Thank you so much to Zach for being available and helping us throughout the process and to Connor during the weekend. We will have so many memories that will last a lifetime!

We got married here on the 2nd of May- it is a stunning venue with a wonderful manager who was determined we have the ceremony we wanted despite the rain!

The vibe is lovely and the landscape beautiful. Being able to have the venue for the weekend meant spending more time with the bridal party & groomsman and less stress in the morning!

Zach, we cannot thank you enough for making our day so special.

We recently got married at Barley Wood and feel very lucky and privileged to have done so. From the first visit Zach was very patient and wonderful with answering any questions we had (and there were many!) he unfortunately couldn't be there on our wedding weekend but the amazing caretaker Connor was on hand to help with any concerns. It’s worth adding that both of these staff had chosen the venue to get married at which gave us all the confidence we needed!

The venue is so stunning, which meant we didn’t need much to decorate and make it our own. The grounds are gorgeous and well looked after, combine that with a sunny day and there were a lot of happy faces.

The bedrooms were all beautiful, spacious and clean. There was a slight issue with fuses on the top floor but Connor was there to step in and fix it straight away.

Overall, the whole weekend was great. We felt like we had all the freedom to do what we wanted and were allowed to really make it our own. Once the guests had checked out they could stay til a bit later which allowed us the time to clean up and pack things away with no urgency. Just what we needed.

A massive thank you to all staff at Barley Wood for hosting and providing the most magical venue leaving us with the best memories!

Big love,
Tilly and Rob

We had our wedding at Barley Wood in February 2026 and had the best day. Zach made the preparation in the lead up so smooth, giving advice and support where we needed it. On the day, he and his team worked so hard to make the day as special as it could be. Having met Zach several times before the day, as well as working closely on the day before the wedding, it made the Wedding Day much less stressful. It was wonderful to be able to have the whole house from Friday until Sunday as it made the wedding feel much more relaxed and gave us time to really enjoy the weekend.
The bar offered a wide variety of drinks and we received many compliments from our guests about the selection as well as the service provided.
We can’t recommend Barley Wood enough and would absolutely love to return here for future celebrations.
