Breathtaking natural beauty at The Great Barn

Sitting in the heart of a valley where rolling meadows meet pockets of mature trees, The Great Barn offers breathtaking natural beauty and away-from-it-all romance within eight miles of Exeter.

Flanked by 120 acres of private grounds complete with flower-filled walled gardens and a medieval courtyard, The Great Barn – affectionately known as the ‘thatched cathedral’ – never fails to captivate couples with its 15th century history, striking architecture and wow-worthy interiors. Thanks to its scale, most of the celebrations can take place in a single space, while the adjoining Roundhouse works perfectly as a bar area, chill-out lounge or space to entertain younger guests.

You might choose to marry beneath the dramatic vaulted ceilings of the barn or amongst the roses, wisteria and blossom-filled trees of the gardens, which offer enchantment all year round for drinks receptions and photographs. Tailor your celebrations to suit your individual style in the beautifully lit barn and tuck into a wedding feast brimming with organic and locally sourced ingredients.

There’s accommodation for up to 30 guests in a trio of self-catering cottages. Rich in historic character and contemporary comforts, you’ll find elegantly designed interiors complete with king-sized beds, snug sofas, wood burners and luxurious bathrooms, while the grade-II listed Place has a stunning separate bridal suite with its own entrance, sitting room, bedroom and bathroom with a clawfoot bath. Available on an exclusive-use basis, you can enjoy this picture-perfect estate in complete privacy for a long weekend, allowing you to linger a little longer, soaking up the heady romance of this special place with your nearest and dearest.
