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 27 people in 15 bedrooms and bathrooms.

Incredible place to get married
The most amazing wedding venue in the beautiful Brecon beacons. Blank canvas helped us manage our costs and we stayed in the manor house for 3 nights to really enjoy our time as a family. Archie was so helpful and we had amazing suppliers (especially prickly pear catering). We were blessed with sunshine and had the most incredible day. Strong recommend

Tall John’s House
We had our wonderful wedding day on Easter Weekend at this amazing venue. We can’t thank Liza and Archie enough for making our wedding weekend so special. Tall Johns House is nestled in the most beautiful setting with gorgeous grounds (especially during Spring time when their flowers are beginning to bloom). It has a relaxed vibe where you can really make your wedding your own. Having exclusive use of the venue was well worth it, taking over the accommodation which was so clean and had lots of character. We could relax and enjoy the weekend from Friday to Sunday with our nearest and dearest. Ken cooked us outstanding food the night before the wedding and everyone still raves about his breakfasts!! The barn where we got married and had our celebrations, which was a complete blank canvas, was the perfect place for us and was accessible for all of our guests and the suppliers we chose. We could really make our wedding exactly how we wanted it to be. Tall Johns will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will definitely be back to stay- Thank you!

The best day!
We are so glad we choose tall johns to get married last July, everything was so seamless from the booking to the day after the wedding. The barn and grounds are absolutely beautiful- it’s a blank canvas and you can decorate it to your own style & do what you like with it which was perfect for us. The day before the wedding Archie was amazing and offered his hand for help with anything and the day of the wedding which helped run the day smoothly. We used the doctors order bar in the evening which is provided by talls johns, and they made us handmade cocktails and was accommodating with what drink we wanted to be served ect. The breakfast served was excellent too, a cooked breakfast with pastries and fresh fruit. We honestly couldn’t fault a thing!

Amazing!
A massive thank you to Archie, Liza and the team at Tall John’s House. We exclusively hired the venue for our wedding in October for 3 days and we had the best day ever! The luxury barn was the perfect space for our wedding and didn’t need much in terms of decor as it’s such a beautiful space in itself. The grounds are so picturesque and very well maintained by all the ground staff who work hard to keep it looking so beautiful - we were lucky to have the most perfect Autumn day and the grounds just looked so incredible with all the Autumn colours, we honestly couldn’t have hoped for any better. The breakfasts provided by Ken were scrumptious - we had a full English provided for both mornings. Ken also cooked us up a storm for guests staying on Friday night which was again very tasty. A massive thank you to Archie - his laid back demeanour just makes everyone feel at ease and we used Doctor’s Orders bar for the evening of our wedding - the cocktails were on point! Thank you again to everyone for making it simply the best day we could have ever hoped for.

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.

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!
