About this space

The venue is a country house that combines farmhouse accommodation and an adjoining smallholding, defined by its private rural setting.

Design: The interiors feature painted tongue-and-groove panelling, high ceilings and wide windows that bring abundant daylight, paired with wood-effect floors and simple, neutral soft furnishings.

Features: The venue includes Wi‑Fi, a policy allowing own music and external DJs subject to a noise restriction, wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, residential-style rural retreat and informal seated or standing gatherings.

What sets it apart: A private smallholding provides on-site rural grounds that form the venue's immediate outdoor setting.
