Situated just outside Axminster in the charming Axe Valley, close to the border between Dorset and Devon, this peaceful and well-equipped hotel specialises in hosting intimate and medium-sized weddings of up to 60 guests. The hotel is justly renowned for its award-winning kitchen, which sources a range of local produce from amid the pastures and along the shores of the South Coast.
With its glorious gardens featuring unusual shrubs and trees from around the world, the welcoming hotel is available for exclusive hire, and this option is recommended for the larger wedding celebrations that take place here. Your guests can take advantage of special overnight accommodation rates if you hire exclusive; the hotel is able to sleep up to 36 people, plus the lovely bridal suite.
