Absolutely fabulous!

I found The Fleece Countryside Inn on here & after visiting we both fell in love with it. Carrie-Ann put us both at ease & no query was too ‘silly’. We both love music so wanted a festival theme & they were so accommodating to our ideas. There are so many different stunning areas to get good photographs throughout the pub, the scenery is gorgeous. We got married in May & were very lucky with the weather, the sunset looked stunning. Our guests complimented the canapés & wedding breakfast & I can agree the food was delicious. I 1000% recommend & love going for meals there at the pub.

We cannot recommend The Fleece highly enough.

We cannot recommend The Fleece highly enough. We held a wedding celebration event there. What a fantastic experience. Carrie-Anne and her team really made everything extra special. The whole process was very easy and so stress free. The co-ordination was fantastic. We never felt that anything was too much trouble. The venue itself is set in breathtaking scenery. The food was fantastic. The accommodation brilliant. The service outstanding. We cannot recommend The Fleece as a venue highly enough.

The most amazing day of our lives

The Fleece is the most perfect wedding venue and we could not recommend enough! It's a personal place for me and my Husband who always knew we wanted to get married here! The venue itself is stunning with a gorgeous outside area overlooking a stunning view and a private bar just for the guests of the wedding. We had THE MOST PERFECT DAY! Everything went smoothly, no hiccups and that is a testiment to all the hardworking staff, a special thanks to Carrie-Anne and the team for all the hard work on the lead up to the wedding and an extra big thankyou to Lucy who was so attentive all day keeping us calm, letting us know the next steps and keeping our glasses filled! She was amazing! We have had gorgeous feedback from all our guests about how lovely the venue is and how smooth everything was, also how beautiful the food was throughout the day! It honestly was the best day of our lives and the only regret is that we can't do it all again! Thanks again🤍

you won't regret choosing The Fleece Countryside I

We got married here & loved every minute of it. Carrie-Anne and all the team are exceptional at what they do. Just one visit was enough for us to book this venue and we are so pleased did. They were on hand with any emails/questions we had- even when I felt I was asking silly questions I was always made to feel that nothing was ever too much trouble. The day ran so smoothly and the staff were absolutely fabulous. All in all a fabulous day & you won't regret choosing The Fleece Countryside Inn!
