A small celebration in one of Devon's most breathtaking country house venues

From the moment you arrive at Pynes House, it's impossible not to be captivated. Beyond the sweeping drive, a long avenue of trees frames the elegant red-brick Georgian façade and grand entrance, offering a glimpse of the romance that awaits. Nestled within secluded grounds in Devon’s beautiful Exe Valley, this luxury country house possesses a rare quality: for all its grandeur, it feels instantly welcoming – a place to truly make your own.


 
Steeped in history, Pynes House has welcomed visitors including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and is thought to have inspired Barton Park in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Today, its romantic heritage lingers in every detail, from the elegant State Rooms and striking stone entrance hall to the light-filled interiors and beautifully appointed accommodation. Outside, flower-filled gardens, a graceful fountain and manicured lawns create an idyllic backdrop for celebrations, offering a dreamlike setting in which to begin your next chapter.


 
Available on an exclusive-use basis, Pynes House offers a wealth of versatile spaces for everything from multi-day wedding celebrations to intimate midweek gatherings. Now, couples seeking a more intimate way to say “I do” can enjoy the venue’s newly launched Elopement Experience.



Designed for just the two of you – or a handful of your closest family and friends – the package offers a relaxed and elegant celebration in extraordinary surroundings. Whether exchanging vows in the Rose Garden or within the grandeur of the historic interiors, every moment feels thoughtfully curated and deeply romantic. Complete with a celebratory bottle of fizz, access to the house and grounds for photography and support from the experienced team, it promises a truly personal way to celebrate your love story at Pynes House.
