Either way your celebrations take over the whole place. We are a family run business and pride ourselves on providing a friendly and personal service.

Truly the best day!
Amy, Serena and everyone at Priory Cottages, Just a little note to say thank you for all of your time and support in making our day so special and memorable! Planning a wedding from over 3000 miles away isn't something I would recommend unless they have as good a team as yours on hand to help! Thanks for everything - truly the best day! With love Lucy & Matt

It's a day I will never forget
Dear Serena, Just wanted to thank you and your staff for the wonderful day we all had celebrating the marriage of Thomas and Charlotte. I can only imagine how much work was involved to ensure they had the perfect day. The setting is the dining area took my breath away. Everything laid out in perfect detail. The food was spectacular and I received so many compliments on the beautiful venue. Thank you again to you and all your staff. It's a day I will never forget. Best wishes Ann & Peter Goldie x

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts
To Serena, Kat and everyone else at Priory Cottages, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us to make our wedding on 15th July the best day of our lives. Serena - you were such a great help with organising everything (not even just venue related, truly don't know what we'd have done without you!) You were such a calm presence in the morning and everything ran so smoothly. I wish we could do it all again. Thanks Again, Holly & James xxx

Dear Priory team, I know we thanked you on leaving Thursday morning after Wednesday being the most special and successful wedding day for our daughter.

Simply the best venue from start to finish!
After visiting many venues all over Yorkshire, from the moment we drove up the tree line drive we knew Priory Barn and Cottages was special! The team was faultless, their knowledge was endless and they quickly responded to all our questions throughout our planning process. Having the ability to provide accommodation for our guests was important to us and the seven cottages surrounding the courtyard allowed us to do this without people having to travel on the day! The barn and marquee was a perfect backdrop giving us the ability to put our personalised stamp on every aspect of our day! I would recommend Priory Barn and Cottages to everyone!

The most amazing day!
I attending the most amazing wedding at the priory cottages celebrating my sisters wedding! Was so nice to be able to make a full weekend of it and really get to appreciate the beautiful surroundings and cosy cottages at the priory. Being able to have access accommodation the night before meant we got to have a BBQ after the rehearsal dinner with the brides and grooms closest friends and family which was a very special way to commence the celebrations. Serena made sure everything ran so smoothly on the day, and you could see she took any stress away from the bride and groom so they could really enjoy everyone moment of it. All the different areas, barn upstairs, barn downstairs, marquee, surprise dance floor and the amazing outdoor space meant as guests we kept getting new beautiful surprises as the day went on from the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening party! Since my sisters wedding I have attended as a guest at other weddings too (most recent being 2022) and the standard hasn’t dropped at all, if anything it has got even better as they continue to make upgrades. Would highly recommend for any couple wanting a stress free, beautiful day where guest are fully entertained!
