The best wedding day
We had the absolute best time at our wedding and it was largely down to Dawn and her team. From booking the date to the organisation, everything was so easy and well managed. No question was too small and they clearly have the process down like a well oiled machine. Dawn always made us feel comfortable and helped put any worries we had at ease throughout the process and leading up to the big day. On the wedding day Dawn and Peter were both around to make sure everything went well. We cannot thank them enough! -

We had the most amazing wedding at Whinstone View. Dawn and the rest of the staff were so attentive on the day and made sure that everything happened on time and that everyone was well looked after. It really took a lot of stress out of the day. The venue itself is beautiful and the food was fantastic (we had the pie, very recommended!). We booked the weekend package which included accommodation at the on-site log cabins for our close family and everyone loved them. The hot tubs got good use! We truly had the perfect wedding and we know that we owe a lot of that to Whinstone View and the staff that work there!Whinstone View's reply:
Thank you so much for you lovely words, it was a pleasure to help you plan and be a part of your big day.

Katie M. Sent on 30/03/2022Incredible venue, Incredible staff, Incredible wedding.
I really don't know where to start with this incredible venue.
After booking our wedding in 2018, we finally tied the knot in 2021, Mandy, Dawn, and all of the staff at Whinstone have been there for us through every step of the way, they were there every time we needed them and always went above and beyond in every way possible. When covid hit and we had to rearrange our wedding, they were just brilliant, they were in such a tough position as a business and yet their heart and soul went into making their brides and grooms at ease through all of that turmoil.
Usually, wedding prices increase yearly, so when we had to rearrange our wedding, we thought we were going to be hit financially due to the inflation, and yet Whinstone View didn't charge a penny more, they honoured our original price booked from 2018, that being 3 years of price increases and they supported us completely.
As July 2021 fast approached, they went above and beyond for us, they did everything exactly as we envisioned, it was truly out of this world. Dawn and Mandy aren't just staff, they turn into your friends, your help when you need it and not forgetting your personal drink deliverer on the wedding day! I can't speak anymore highly of them if I tried.
The guests commented all day on how great everything was, the staff were there at everyone's hand and foot for whatever they needed.
Wray's Barn is a place that will hold a special place in my heart forever.
We stayed in Frida the night before with my bridesmaids and it was just amazing, everyone loved it and the lodge was immaculate. On the wedding night, us and our family stayed in all of the other lodges and they were out of this world, they were stylish, clean, comfy, and again, the staff couldn't do more! Even the gardener helped me clean my car before we left! (Thank you Micheal)
We had the best day of our lives and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thank you to everyone at Whinstone View, you have or custom and loyalty for life.
All our love, Mr & Mrs McCarthy. -

Absolutely flawless from start to finish.
Planning a wedding during a worldwide pandemic was never going to be easy, but Dawn and the team genuinely had our best interests at heart. Moved dates no bother, honoured our packages, and made our day absolutely perfect from start to finish.
The food was incredible, the lodges were fantastic, and it was well worth the wait. It was our dream come true - genuinely the best day of our lives and we plan to spend every anniversary having a meal here.
I’d recommend Whinstone View to anyone, for any occasion. The team genuinely go above and beyond to make it perfect! ❤️ -

Legg Wedding 2021
We had our wedding in Wrays Barn in August 2021 and it was the most perfect day.
Dawn is absolutely incredible. Throughout covid and all the uncertainty around whether we would be able to go ahead - Dawn helped and supported us throughout. Even when we produced possibly the worst table plan she’s ever seen! 😬😂
Dawn guided us through every step of the way and nothing was too big or too much of an ask.
I would recommend booking the lodges for before and after your big day - they are stunning and a morning in a hot tub with your new hubby followed by an amazing breakfast with your nearest and dearest is a great way to start married life!
The entire venue and grounds are beautiful!
We had lawn games which were a huge hit with kids (and adults!)
The day itself went without any issues and we cannot thank Dawn, Tobi and the rest of the team enough for that. The bar and waiting staff went above and beyond and we fully appreciate the hard work they did that night!
The food was beautiful, a lot of rave reviews about the pulled pork buns and chips!!
Perfect day - made perfect by the venue and the staff. 💛🌻💛 -

My wife and I (still love saying that) had our wedding at Whinstone View on December 4th after having to delay it due to Covid. The day couldn’t have gone better! All of the staff were incredible and went above and beyond from the moment we walked in the day before, to the moment we left. Huge thanks to Charlotte who ran the day for keeping me, the warmest human who has ever lived, cool by adjusting the air con for me constantly and also Dawn who from our first meeting was excellent and made the day run without a single hitch, excuse the pun. Still a few months on people are still talking about the food (the pie) and how amazing it was. We cannot wait to come for dinner there again and stay in the most beautiful and relaxing lodges. Thank you! You made it an incredible day that we will never ever forget. 💍🍽🍺🥂🍾🍷Whinstone View's reply:
Hi Damian

The team at Whinstone View gave us the best personal wedding experience that we could have asked for, right from the start when we were searching for a venue until after our big day. We want to do it all over again with the team at Whinstone!
We had quite a stressful time in the run up to the wedding, with covid putting the date on the rocks. However, Dawn and the team where flexible and empathetic throughout all of our stress. They pulled out all the stops to make sure our big day went as smoothly as possible, and they delivered!
Mandy in lodges was very helpful when it came to our overnight accommodation and made sure all of our guests had the best possible time – some of my family are hard to please but they were astounded with the lodge and all of its facilities.
On the night, Toby was a fantastic, friendly host by interacting with our guests, making sure everyone was happy and having a good time.
We had family travelling from across the UK and had guests commenting that “the venue was perfect and offered something for everyone”, “it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to” and the best comment was “this wedding was perfect and marked the start of life getting back to normal after covid. It couldn’t have been better”.
Special shout to Beat Boutique who provided a unique experience for our guests in a beautiful location and also to Kane Young who captured our special day in the most perfect place.
Would 100% recommend Wray’s Barn at Whinstone View for the best wedding experience.
Thank you to the team!

Just pure magic
Our wedding at Wray’s Barn Whinstone View was nothing short of magical. ✨
Planning a wedding up north whilst living down south could’ve been very stressful, but the team at Whinstone View made everything feel smooth, stress free and so enjoyable. They got back to me quickly with every query, were so helpful and lovely. On the day I felt in such safe hands, everything was seamless, the food and drinks were lush and the venue was just as stunning as I had imagined.
So romantic, rustic and beautiful.
We even stayed the night after and a had our first dinner date as husband and wife in the bistro, and it was unreal!
Truly the perfect day and the perfect venue.
Thank you so much to Dawn and the team at Whinstone View for our magical wedding. 👰🏼♀️Whinstone View's reply:
