The spaces

Room to gather, indoors and out.

The Hideaway Barn

A 200-seat timber room with better acoustics than your favourite venue — dinner, dancing and live music under one roof.

The Cedaroo

An open red-cedar pavilion at the heart of the estate — drinks receptions, ceremonies and the Woodpecker Café.

Forest ceremony glade

Vows under the oak canopy, the woodland for a backdrop and birdsong for a string section.

Live at the Barn

The Hideaway Sessions

A timber room in a wood does something to live music. Our Sessions series has brought Gemma Hayes, Lisa Hannigan and Paul Noonan to the estate, with tribute nights and local acts filling the calendar between — outrageously good music, food to match, and a fifteen-minute stumble home if you've booked a lodge.

★★★★★

“The craic we had in the brand-new Barn was unreal. It blends cosy woodland with a polished, modern setup, so everything felt tailored and special — the crew were on the ball and nothing was too much trouble. The perfect spot to celebrate.”

Why host it here

One estate, exclusively yours

No other car on the avenue, no other party in the wood — the whole 100 acres for your event.

Everyone stays on site

Sixteen lodges sleep up to 100, so nobody drives home and the night runs as long as you like.

Nothing like a function room

A purpose-built timber barn, a cedar pavilion and a forest glade — warm, bold and entirely un-corporate.

A team that handles it

One coordinator, one wedding or event a day, and a crew that makes the difference in the detail.

Everyone stays

Sixteen lodges, up to a hundred guests.

Four lodge styles scattered through the wood, sleeping up to a hundred between them — so your whole party wakes up on the estate, the morning after, with the fire pits still warm and the Sanctuary a short walk away.
