Last update: April 2025

Deep in the enchanting Devon countryside, Clifford Barton is a uniquely picturesque wedding venue. Overlooking Fingle Woods and the wider Teign Valley, serenaded by a chorus of birdsong, it offers you and your wedding party the perfect escape and exclusive use of the venue and its on-site accomodation for the whole weekend. You have the freedom to taylor your wedding to truly reflect your personalities and the Clifford Barton team offers unlimited advice and support throughout the planning process and on the day to help realise the wedding weekend of your dreams.

Facilities and Capacity

Situated in 50 acres of serene private lake, woodlands, streams and meadows, Clifford Barton is particularly well suited to couples who love nature and the great outdoors, and is exclusively yours for the entirety of your celebrations. Set in a medieval farmstead, the venue boasts a unique blend of ancient charm and modern luxury for you and your guests. Clifford Barton is not only one of the prettiest venues in Devon, but one of the most sustainable, with all accomodation heated from an on site wood chip boiler, using chip sourced from the adjacent Fingle Woods. There is an off-grid wood-fired hot tub with breathtaking views over the valley below, perfect for a pre-wedding bridal party relaxation. The venue is extremely flexible, offering a host of areas and facilities for different activities and games. Whilst highly professional, Clifford Barton is family-run and is ideal for couples seeking a non-corporate, relaxed wedding weekend. Licensed to host civil ceremonies, couples can make their lifelong commitments overlooking the aptly named Bridesmere Lake. With your guests looking on from under the beautiful chapel-esque timber bridge, there can't be many more romantic settings to start married life together. Then perhaps lead a romantic walk around the lake, enjoy lakeside drinks and nibbles, before returning to the magically light and airy stone-walled Rose Barn for your Reception. Included in the package is a wonderfully romantic off-grid love-nest cabin, with fantastic views up the Teign gorge, where having left the fesivities behind you can sit out under the stars in front of an open fire and reflect on the day and your future life together.
