Description

Huntsham Court is an exclusive-use Devon wedding venue near Exmoor and the Somerset border. Often described as a hidden gem, the venue bursts with period charm and relaxed grandeur.

Nestled in rolling countryside and set within five acres of wonderful Victorian gardens, the venue and its surroundings make for the perfect backdrop for those all-important photos. Guests can enjoy discovering the croquet lawn, hidden garden, tennis court, and plenty of relaxing spots to take in the scenery.

The venue has numerous spots for a ceremony both indoors and out, so there is always an option to suit everyone's taste and style.

The Great Hall is the most popular indoor venue. It has plenty of space to comfortably seat 100 guests or 130 with a mix of seating and standing.

The grand fireplace makes an amazing backdrop for couples saying 'I do', especially when the mantle is decorated with a floral display.

The dark wood, glittering crystal chandelier, marble columns, and intricate parquet floor add to the grandeur of this ceremony room.

The most popular traditional outdoor ceremony space is The Dovecote. This Victorian-style structure with trailing Wisteria is picture-perfect. With its own ceremony seating already in place, it is an easy spot to style and set up. The venue's backdrop adds to the wow factor.

Another popular outdoor space, but a little less traditional, is the Hidden Garden Tipi (in place from April to September). With its Boho vibe, nature-based style (filled with wildflowers), and neutral tones, it's a beautiful location to bring all your family and guests together.

The venue has 42 bedrooms, comfortably sleeping up to 100 guests.

The bedrooms are individually designed and have all the grandeur of a historic house. You'll find four poster beds, canopy beds, exposed beams, antique bathtubs, modern showers, chandeliers and plenty of colourful textiles throughout the rooms.

The vast majority of bedrooms are ensuite (some of the bathrooms are as enormous as the bedrooms!) With plenty of hot water, your guests can enjoy a soak or long shower before the big day.

Many of the bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements with twin or double rooms, family suites, and easy-to-access ground-floor suites. Externally, the Garden Wing, Little Lodge, and Gate House Lodge offer further space, perfect for groups of family and friends.

The venue doesn't offer packages. Its guiding principle is 'your stay, your way'. Encouraging guests to embrace their own style and personal tastes is at the heart of the venue, so you have full freedom to select the caterers to suit your event and budget.

For couples that want a guiding hand, the venue has a recommended suppliers list to help with inspiration.

As well as being package-free, they are corkage-free! The bar is hired empty, so you can bring as much or as little as you like with you.

Many couples relish this opportunity, working with local suppliers to source wines for the meal, beers, spirits, etc. Again, helpful solutions are on hand for couples that find this a little too daunting, including suppliers who will take care of the bar for you.

Huntsham Court is easy to reach, just 15 minutes from Tiverton Parkway station (two hours to London) and 15 minutes away from Junction 27 of the M5. Local towns and cities include Tiverton, Taunton, and Exeter. The two nearest airports are Bristol and Newquay.
