5 Star
We were married at Barnabrow House and could not have picked a more perfect place. The venue is so unique, charming and a perfect place for a romantic wedding! We had 40 people stay for 5 days and it was an incredible B&B on top of being a lovely venue for the wedding. Our guests had so much fun interacting with the donkeys and wandering through the fairy trails. The grounds are stunning and every day we woke up to gorgeous views and a wonderful home-cooked breakfast at their tea rooms. From s

Absolutely an amazing experience
My husband and I got married at Barnabrow House just this passing weekend and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The grounds and garden are straight out of a Beatrix Potter illustration and while the decor and aesthetic is very cottagecore, the amenities are all very modern. It was brilliant to have all of our close family and friends staying on site with us in our own little private hotel setting. It was also so handy to have the ceremony, reception and day two barbecue all in one place!

We had our ‘Wedding Party’ celebration in Barnabrow House in May.

Amazing Staff
I was a bridesmaid at Niamh and Jamie's wedding on Saturday. I just wanted to say that your coordinator, Adam, is outstanding! He went above and beyond throughout the whole day-we were all so incredibly impressed with him. He was so attentive, helpful, kind, hard-working and organised. You are very lucky to have him in such an important role. He deserves to be praised highly!

Describe the best wedding that happened at Barnabrow Country House?

Each Wedding is so unique we could not pick one! While I don’t have a specific wedding to reference, I can share what often makes a wedding truly memorable! The best weddings typically feature a beautiful blend of personal touches, heartfelt vows, and a joyful atmosphere. Couples who incorporate their unique stories, such as meaningful traditions or favourite songs, create a special experience for themselves and their guests. And of course, when everyone—friends, family, and the couple—comes together to celebrate love, laughter, and happiness, that’s what makes a wedding unforgettable!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples is to communicate openly and often! Make sure to discuss your vision, priorities, and budget together. This will help you both stay on the same page and make the planning process more enjoyable. Remember, it’s about celebrating your love, so keep the focus on what truly matters to you both!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

A popular personal touch at weddings that many couples appreciate is incorporating family heirlooms into the ceremony or reception. This could include using a family member's wedding dress, displaying photographs of past weddings, or incorporating traditional family recipes into the menu. These elements often add sentimental value and create a deeper connection to family history during the celebration.

What’s your favourite canapé?

I don’t have personal tastes, I love them all but Duck Liver Parfait en Croute with Fresh Raspberry is a sophisticated choice. The rich, creamy texture of the parfait paired with the sweetness of the raspberry creates a wonderful balance of flavours. It’s definitely a standout canapé that would impress guests!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

If I had to pick, I’d say mini pizza would be a crowd-pleaser. It’s fun, easy to eat. Plus, who doesn’t love pizza? That said, bacon butties and cocktail sausages also have their charm, especially for those late-night cravings! Wedding cake is a classic sweet treat that everyone loves, too.

What is Barnabrow Country House most unique feature?

Our most unique feature sounds like it could be its charming, intimate setting that allows for a private experience with the added delight of animals! Pygmy goats and donkeys. This combination creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for couples looking to celebrate their love in a cozy and memorable way. Whether it’s the presence of friendly animals or a beautiful natural landscape, these elements can make the wedding experience truly special and unique.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

I would be most proud of the weddings we host! Each wedding is a unique celebration of love, and being part of such a significant moment in couples' lives is incredibly rewarding. From helping to create beautiful memories to witnessing the joy and happiness of the day, it’s fulfilling to contribute to something so special. Plus, seeing the personal touches and creativity that couples bring to their weddings makes each event truly one-of-a-kind!
