We had a midweek wedding here and it was the most amazing three days ever! The team are so brilliant and helpful, they made us feel really special and like ours was the only wedding they had all year. In the lead up to it they were always on hand to answer our queries and respond to emails quickly, we really appreciate how they never pushed anything but were so helpful in giving their suggestions and letting us know what would work best. On they day they were so lovely to have with us and made sure everything ran seamlessly! The venue is beautiful and our guests loved being able to stay over for two nights. We would recommend it to anyone for the perfect wedding, thank you for making it the best day of our lives!

Absolutely wonderful wedding venue! Fantastic location, nestled away in the Cotswolds with a beautiful chapel, barn venue and cottages for guests to stay in on site. We enjoyed that when we hired it, we had exclusive use of the grounds and gardens for over 48 hours. The team at Owlpen were very proactive and easy to work with in the months leading up to it, and were fantastic on the day, making sure guests were in the right place and us as the bride and groom were looked after. Couldn't recommend enough!

My wedding at Owlpen was a truly magical day! The amazing location and beautiful old buildings definitely contributed to this, but what really made the day spectacular was the amazing people that work at the venue. This phenomenal team really did everything to ensure that the day ran smoothly, and went above and beyond making sure that a guest with a surprise knee injury could get to their cottage at the end of the evening. I'd love to give a shout to Tonia in particular, who ran to the shops for us the morning on the wedding to get some emergency supplies. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough, and that has to be down to the amazing attitudes and skills of the team!

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Owlpen Manor last Saturday, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The venue itself was stunning, and the staff were exceptional from start to finish. I’d especially like to thank Lilly, Felicity, and James, who went above and beyond what was expected. Their kindness and helpfulness made such a difference and did not go unnoticed. A huge thank you to them, and to everyone at the manor, for making the evening so beautiful.

We had a lovely 2 night stay in one of the cottages for a wedding recently. Stunning grounds and amazing location. The cottage was huge and more than enough for a family of 5. All the facilities were great. I managed to forget some clothes before returning and the team there was incredibly helpful and posted them back to me without charge. Bella was very responsive and dealt with it very swiftly and courteously. I would highly recommend a stay there.
