Welcome to The Hayloft

Relaxed, rustic and completely yours

We're a family farm that opened our barn to weddings in 2016. We only host one wedding a day, so you get the whole place: orchard, barn, courtyard and cottages.

No conveyor belt, no fixed timings. Just a beautiful setting and a small team who'll help you plan the day you actually want.
