Wonderful Staff

The wonderful staff of the Barnsdale hotel made our wedding feel very special, nothing was too much trouble for them and they accommodated my friends and family in a professional and friendly way. They dealt with a few problems really well and made everything run very smoothly. Its a beautiful venue and the new barn is worth seeing! Go and have a look!

A Dreamy Wedding at The Barnsdale

Our wedding at The Barnsdale was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we set foot on the picturesque grounds, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. The rustic charm, elegant touches, and impeccable service provided by the Barnsdale team made our celebration truly unforgettable. Every detail was flawlessly executed, from the stunning floral arrangements to the delicious catering. We are endlessly grateful for the dedication and passion of Ellie and the team, and we feel incredibly lucky to have shared such a magical day in such a beautiful place!
