We wanted to offer our beautiful venue & relaxed cottages; which are pet friendly, for everyone to enjoy. Our cottages were built on the site of the old pigsty, the barn has been renovated with a modern twist and the whole venue is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

incredibly attentive and professional

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at Hoad Farm, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. From the initial booking process to the day of the wedding, the support we received was great. Bronwyn & Shirley were incredibly attentive and professional. They made the entire planning process seamless, always available to answer our questions. The lovely cottages were spotless, comfortable and homely with plenty of space.

Perfect Wedding Venue

We had our wedding reception at Hoad Farm this week and it couldn't have been a more perfect venue for us. The whole planning process was simple and Bronwyn and her team were super helpful in advising us on our set up arrangements. The Venue is stunning with a beautiful barn and marquee (ample indoor space) and the most beautiful grounds too. We had a lovely bbq set up in the bbq area which was fab and games set up on the grass. So many photo opportunities too! Can't recommend this venue enough

Incredible

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding at the beautiful Hoad Farm Barn, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience. From the initial booking process to the day of the wedding, the support we received was great. Bronwyn & Shirley were incredibly attentive and professional. They made the entire planning process seamless, always available to answer our questions and provide solutions. Nothing was too much effort for them, and they ensured our day was perfect. The grounds of the venue are absolutely stunning and inside, the venue is equally impressive, with tasteful decor and an inviting atmosphere. The dedication to making our day special from all of the team was evident in every detail, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Hoad Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful wedding venue. Thank you for an amazing day.

Thank you all so much!

Just wanted to say thank you all so much for the weekend. It was an amazing day. The weather couldn't have been better which meant we could use the whole venue space in and out. Accommodation a real home from home. Everyone said what a great venue, so hopefully the word will get out!

Lovely venue, was here recently!
