Description

The barn at Tall John's House has now been restored to provide a warm, light , versatile space - perfect for gatherings of all types - whilst preserving its original rustic charm. The enclosed rear courtyard provides a very sheltered outdoor space, perfect for drinks, smokers, canapes or simply socializing. The front courtyard offers breathtaking views across the valley to the Black Mountains. In the courtyard complex there are permanent toilet facilities, a catering area and a self-catering cottage providing 4 en-suite bedrooms to sleep eight people. This can also be used as a creche or changing area. Also adjoining the courtyard complex is The Coachman's. This is a luxurious romantic getaway for 2 people - ideal for a couple on their wedding night. It is entirely private and couples will be treated to a breakfast basket of good things! One of the best features of Tall John's House is the wonderful setting. Surrounded by its own land, Tall John's House has spacious lawns - ideal for pre-dinner drinks and photographs - and a historic and carefully maintained walled garden with many spots to capture those memorable photographic moments! Civil ceremonies can take place in our charming gazebo on a natural stage in the gardens, in our newly converted Granary or in the barn itself. The Manor House can also be rented separately if you wish but this is entirely optional. The Manor House can sleep 19 people in 11 bedrooms and bathrooms.

A truly unforgettable day
Honestly, it was a truly unforgettable day and I'm not sure Ffi and I can quite believe it's happened yet, but simply it was the greatest day we've ever had and your beautiful venue was a huge part of that. Thank you again for all you and the team have done.

What a weekend we have had
From the moment we arrived on Friday until we left on Sunday. All was superb. The beautiful setting of Tall Johns , the comfortable accommodation and the relaxed but excellent attention of all those working at Tall John’s made our weekend! They had the wedding day of their dreams as they had hoped. Ken made us wonderful meals ; Archie you are a joy. Always there getting things sorted, in a calm and relaxed way. So very helpful. And Liza - you have been an incredible help all through the year

Thank you for everything
What can I say except that my new wife and I had the most incredible weekend at TJH celebrating our wedding and we're still flying over the moon with what an experience we just had, it truly is a magical place made all the more better by Archie and his team. They helped put us at ease every step of the way and have a very calming presence that matches the location. Everything went without a hitch and everybody had an absolute blast and couldn't get over how wonderful Tall John's really was.

A wonderful day
Many thanks to Archie and Liza for making our day so special. We had the opportunity to visit a few times prior to the wedding in order to plan our day perfectly. I could not have asked for a better venue.

I honestly couldn't recommend this place enough
Mike and I honestly, from the moment we viewed Tall John’s, we completely fell in love with the place- the house, barns and grounds are beautiful, and it was exactly the kind of ‘blank canvas’ wedding venue we were searching for. Even better-it’s dog friendly My husband and I, as well as all of our guests had the most fantastic weekend, and are so grateful to Liza and all the team for truly making this the best weekend ever!
