Stunning Venue/Amazing Staff
My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Waverley, Amy-Lou and Rachel - we thank you so much. The venue is absolutely stunning and our guests still talk about it. It was perfect for the intimate and rustic wedding that we truly wanted and we had a fantastic party in the evening!! The staff were so attentive, accommodating and professional from our very first viewing to the wedding day. We felt as though we were in safe hands the entire time. I hope I have the pleasure of being a guest next time I’m at this precious gem of a venue.My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Waverley, Amy-Lou and Rachel - we thank you so much.

Book this beautiful place!!
If you’re considering the pilgrims rest as a venue for your big day….DO IT! Do not hesitate!! It is honestly the most beautiful and special place, it just has the wow factor as soon as you step inside the gorgeous big wooden front door! It took our breath away and we booked at first sight! First venue we visited too and I am so glad we did! We opted for an Apres Ski themed winter wedding and it was spot on!!! The decor they have in there was beyond perfect and beautiful! Amy & Waverley are just saints!

They couldn’t have been any better, the whole wedding party was raving about how hard they worked and always with a smile on their faces! Amy was my main point of contact and she was a star throughout the whole process! Answering my millions of questions and giving very helpful guidance on absolutely anything we needed! She literally made the whole process so less stressful and a lot of fun! We are so so glad we chose the pilgrims rest! Our guests said it was the most amazing day and they adored the venue! Thank you so so much team, we are so grateful for all of your hard work making our day soooo incredible!! From the new Mr & Mrs Harris ❤️-

The perfect venue for us!
From our first visit to our Wedding Day, Waverley and her team have been a delight to work with. They made sure we could have our magical and perfect day and we certainly did. Everything was perfect (even the weather!) and all our guests loved the venue and the welcoming atmosphere. We couldn't have asked for anything better.From our first visit to our Wedding Day, Waverley and her team have been a delight to work with.

Perfect venue
The Pilgrims Rest was beautiful, the team were amazing at helping set up, listen to out requests and run the day smoothly and without any issues. We both had the most stress free build up to the wedding and on the day everything ran as it was planned and everyone enjoyed the day. The venue is naturally beautiful so only a few little touches were needed to complete the day. Thank you for allowing us to use this amazing venue for our day.The Pilgrims Rest was beautiful, the team were amazing at helping set up, listen to out requests and run the day smoothly and without any issues.

A wonderful day
Pilgrim's Rest is a beautiful venue with the perfect backdrop of the abbey. The decorations inside were gorgeous and we had lots of people coming up to us to complement the venue. The ceremony went off without a hitch and it made loads of really great memories.
Amy and Waverley were so kind and couldn't do enough for us. Amy even fetched some jump leads when our car wouldn't start the day after! We'd rate 6/5 on everything if we could!Pilgrim's Rest is a beautiful venue with the perfect backdrop of the abbey.

Seemless from start to finish
The Pilgrims Rest is a wonderful venue. I visited years ago when it was a tea room and was so excited when I found out it was now a wedding venue. My partner and I just had our wedding here and it was the most perfect day. Waverley and Amy were everything you could ask for, facilitating viewings, answering big and small questions, and making sure everything ran seamlessly on the day: having people you can trust is so important on such a huge occasion. The venue is stunning, and the pre decorated areas are beautiful, with flexibility in style. Access the day before for decorating and run-throughs and the following day for collection also takes a large weight...The Pilgrims Rest is a wonderful venue.

It’s so nice to know you picked the absolute right venue for your wedding and would not hesitate to recommend it wholeheartedly. -

Stunningly beautiful venue with kind staff
The moment I found this venue online I knew it was the one, and once we had viewed the location we booked that week. The seasonal decorations are a huge bonus and the autumnal ones were absolutely stunning. Whenever we had questions or concerns Amy-Lou was fantastic and supported us so much and made sure that our day ran without a hitch, even kindly bringing us some glasses of wine and offering to bring a blanket when my husband and I were stealing a moment away from our guests which was so kind. The venue was kept lovely and warm and sweet touches such as announcing us to our table and saving our first cork were so appreciated and...The moment I found this venue online I knew it was the one, and once we had viewed the location we booked that week.

You will not regret booking this venue particularly if like us you love a place dripping in history and charm. Thank you again Pilgrim's Rest Team!-

A charming treasure of a venue
The Pilgrim's Rest. What can I say. It's honestly just magic. My husband and I were looking to get married from abroad, in an area close to his parents. We found the Pilgrims Rest in our research and sent his mum and dad to have a look, who told us about how charming this building was. It was pretty much from this we decided to book, without even seeing the venue! From here, we had impeccable communication from Waverley and Amy while overseas. We chose the venue due to how stress free it seemed. When we finally arrived to see the venue, we we're just astounded! The venue - incredible. The decorations inside - absolutely fitting for the seasons...The Pilgrim's Rest. What can I say. It's honestly just magic.

The decorations inside - absolutely fitting for the seasons and the interior, I didn't even add any further except fresh florals! The dining room and ceremony table + chairs included - even less stress now to organise. Dressing rooms for bride + groom were just so lovely to know we were both there getting ready, less stress about getting to the venue on time! A bar inside that's ready to be stocked up in a gorgeous room - just so handy! A cottage garden out the front and on such a cute high street - dreamy!! I cannot fault this place. It was literally SO stress free to organise from Australia. They also put together this amazing list of vendors to work with who I just don't think you can go wrong with, whichever you pick.
This really felt like a one of a kind venue with exceptional organisation by the ladies, who are just angels on the day helping out as well. Our day was so beautiful and special here, I recommend this gem and treasure with all my heart! Many fond memories forever. Megan + David x -

incredible through and through
We got married at The Pilgrims Rest on Saturday 2nd September 2023. If you are considering getting married here, don't think, just book.
Waverely and Amy were incredible from day one of booking. The venue is magical but the team really make it.
Everything was perfect. The venue is intimate but big enough that you have space for everyone. The reception room with the long tables is a perfect setting for a reception dinner.
The gardens are just lovely even in winter.
You cannot fault here.
We will be forever grateful and The Pilgrims Rest and the team hold a special place in our hearts.
Love Charlotte and Colin
