A Queen Anne gem, this extensively refurbished house was opened for private hire in 2016. With 12 sumptuous en suite bedrooms, six glorious reception rooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen, this quintessentially English property is bound to impress. The grand hall, complete with grand piano and sweeping staircase, is perfect for making a dramatic entrance.
Built in 1704, Goodnestone is a fine example of its period and has been in the same family’s ownership ever since. The original brick and stonework has been restored, and basking in the flow of floodlights, it provides a magnificent backdrop to celebrations on the extensive lawn.
The venue’s 15 acres of gardens are a particular highlight, with the delightful walled garden being a favourite for drinks receptions on the way back from the 12th-century church of The Holy Cross, just a few hundred yards away.
The vows
Seating 36 for the ceremony, The Round Room is perfect for an intimate wedding, with its hand-painted panels, romantic history and views over the garden.
The Coach House, a large and airy orangery-style room with exposed brick floors, potted palms and a grand piano, seats 150.
Celebrate in style
The ground floor of the house is available for smaller wedding receptions of up to 40 nearest and dearest. Alternatively, there’s The Old Dairy, which can accommodate 100 for a seated meal. Equipped with its own bar and kitchen, it’s a stunning conversion of an old farm building.
Next to The Old Dairy, The Courtyard is a walled area, which can be converted into a space seating 140 loved ones with a marquee. A marquee can also be hired and pitched on the lawn beside the house, in the Lime Walk or in The Waller Garden, providing space for 150 seated.
