Northcote Manor

Like a scene from an English country classic novel, the dotted patchwork of fields and rolling hills at this venue is a beautiful setting for your wedding day. Hidden away in the rustic woodlands of north Devon, traditional charm is in abundance here. The characterful country house, which dates back to the 18th century, is set in 20 acres of sweeping lawns and woodland. But despite its tranquil location, its focus on comfort, fine food and top-notch service means it boasts high-quality luxury too.

Inside the welcoming and picturesque building lie 16 individually styled bedrooms, filled with luxe touches for the ultimate stay ' think free-standing baths, awe-inspiring views and fresh fruit and homemade shortbread on arrival, awaiting up to 32 of your guests. 

The Sanctuary, a Victorian-style summerhouse nestled amidst the picture-perfect lawns before a backdrop of rhododendrons and hydrangeas, is a gorgeous spot for an outdoor ceremony. Alternatively, The Oak Room, a grand drawing room resplendent with its marble fireplace, can house up to 60 guests for a ceremony. Then there's The Conservatory, where vast windows let the light stream in as you take your vows in front of up to 90 of your loved ones, while the evening allows for up to 180 guests to join you at your reception celebrations.

Northcote Manor prides itself on its gourmet food offerings, and the award-winning 2 AA Rosette team will deliver a wedding feast brimming with the county's freshest and finest produce. The exquisite menu might include medallion of fresh salmon, beef Wellington and caramelised apple tart tatin with butterscotch sauce and Devon clotted cream, or you can work with the chefs to produce something just as impressive but quintessentially 'you'.

A wedding at Northcote Manor comes with exclusive use of the entire venue ' from the cosy lounges and spacious bedrooms to the quaint lawns, you and your guests will have the run of this enchanting home-from-home. Whether you discover the walled secret garden, roam the apple orchards and the Japanese water garden, or lap up the luxury of the gorgeous spa with views across the countryside, you'll savour every moment in this tucked-away treasure.
