“St Joseph's Guest House is a beautiful, unique and historic venue. Steve, the owner, is super friendly and easy-going — nothing was too hard for him. The venue allowed us to construct the wedding as we envisioned and bring in our own caterers. Loved it!” — Flavia D. 

"The most magical place for a dreamy wedding!!!


We had our wedding here and I cannot express how over the moon we are with the Guesthouse, the pub, and all the work Steve and Tilly did for us on the day.


It's the perfect place if you're looking for a natural and relaxed wedding setting, doubling as a little getaway. You almost needn't do much to the spaces when it comes to decorating, because they are so gorgeous and special already.


The Guesthouse is just magnificent - Steve has done an exceptional job in restoring it to keep the historic feel, whilst making it modern enough to feel luxurious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equiped and there are so many thoughtful touches throughout the many spaces.


Our reception was held at the Settlers Arms and the food was absolutely divine, with plenty to go around and catering for everyone - all our guests were (and are still) raving about how delicious the spread was!


All I can say is, it was the most perfect, wonderful day, in the most special place - thank you, Steve, Tilly and the team for making it the best day of our lives!!!" - 
Sofie Teh.
