What a venue!!! Located in the heart of the Sussex countryside you feel like you've found a hidden gem.... And you have! From arrival to departure the staff couldn't be more helpful. Stunning food, great choice of drinks from a very well stocked bar and a huge dance floor for all the guests to get their groove on. I've been to many wedding venues, this is up there with the best of them. Well done, Clare and team. NAILED IT!!

Great wedding location! We recently had our wedding at Milwards Estate and it was perfect! Not only is it a well kept stunning location, but the staff (Maria, Clare, and the team) were also so great and so attentive to our needs on the day! Really reasonably priced venue with also reasonable priced full bar! You can source your own caterers, etc and it’s not as strict as other wedding venues. I would highly recommend!
