Blakelands Country House dates back to 1722 and is nestled within 10 acres of formal Victorian gardens, orchards and lakes with views as far as Client Hills. Boasting a mixture of formal architecture and converted outbuildings, the Georgian interiors and original oak-framed barns beautifully combine original features with contemporary finishes to create a wealth of space and discovery.

CELEBRATE IN STYLE
The Main House was the original hall and has flagstone flooring, roaring fires, a staircase and room for 40 loved ones.

Maltings Barn has enormous ceilings, oak-king beams and iron chandeliers that are ideal for a romantic ceremony. It’s capable of holding 100 friends and family for the service and 200 for the evening celebration.

Al fresco celebrations are held in the Victorian Walled Garden and Bandstand. The Victorian walls and large trees create a wonderful atmosphere with space for 120 nearest and dearest.

WE LOVE...
The happy couple are welcome to use the on-site bridal suite on the night of the wedding. Blakelands Country House also has an in-house wedding team who will ensure every detail of the day is planned to perfection.
