Why settle for one style of venue when you can have both. Our charming 18th century barn is perfect for romantic ceremonies and cosy wedding meals, whilst contemporary Ivy Hall with it's impressive grandeur and party ready decor is a hidden gem, exclusive for your wedding party.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Hannah Marks

Thank you for looking at Ivy House Country Hotel. I'm so pleased we caught your eye. I would love to show you around the venue in person and am available for viewings most evenings and weekends. There's nothing like getting a feel for a venue in person, photos never do us justice (so I'm told). I can't wait to hear from you.

You put our minds at rest

I would like to say a great big thank you to you for ensuring Ollie and Carol’s big day went without a hitch. From meeting you on Friday you were on our side 100% to put our minds at rest and allowing us to be involved in getting the finer details to exactly how we wanted. Your professionalism shone through in a very calm and managed manner keeping me calm and putting my mind at rest that all would be good on the day. The hall looked amazing and the staff were excellent. I would like to say a special thank you to Jake who was great on Friday and Saturday. Please pass on our thanks to him.
