Surprise Christmas Wedding

We chose The Barnsdale for our intimate surprise Christmas family wedding, and it exceeded our expectations. The orangery provided a stunning setting for the ceremony, the 1760 private dining room with its open fire and candles created a warm and romantic atmosphere for an exceptional meal. The overall experience was magical. All the staff were truly fantastic they went above and beyond to make it just perfect. A special thanks to Beth for her outstanding professionalism and unwavering support.
