Magical Woodland Wedding We had such a gorgeous woodland wedding at Drovers. The staff were amazing and helped with nothing being too much trouble. We loved the food and the spaces we had for different parts of our wedding. Highly recommend a weekend wedding where the guests gather from Fri. It really made our wedding special. And the food all cooked on open fires was so special.

The most amazing weekend! The most perfect wedding. We couldn't have asked for it to be better. When we asked for a vegan wedding, we didn't expect the meat lovers to say how incredible the food was. The venue and the staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Drovers will be the most special place for us forever.

Food was Insane We fell in love with the venue and booked it without even viewing it in person! The venue is so stunning and has so many different areas you can use. Its definitely not a wedding factory. The team take their time in helping you plan a perfect weekend and you get to stay until Monday with the Sunday night thrown in free so you don't need to rush and pack up. Even our guests commented on how incredible the food was. We will forever be grateful to the amazing most friendly team at Drovers.

A Dream Wedding at The Barn at Drovers We couldn’t have asked for a more magical venue than The Barn at Drovers for our wedding day. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning setting, the rustic charm of the barn, and the peaceful beauty of the surrounding countryside. What truly made our experience exceptional, though, was the incredible team behind it all. Kesri, was a calming and reassuring presence throughout the planning process—always available, always kind, and full of helpful advice. Lola, was an absolute star. Her attention to detail, creativity, and dedication ensured everything ran smoothly and looked beautiful. Both made us feel completely at ease, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff on the day were equally amazing—friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making our celebration special. Every guest commented on how well looked after they felt. We are so grateful to everyone at The Barn at Drovers for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with heartfelt hospitality, this is the place!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more supportive team. Drovers is a stunning, peaceful setting that made our wedding feel like a dream. A huge thank you to Kesri and the entire team – your care, attention to detail, and calm professionalism made everything run so smoothly. From the picturesque ceremony space to the cosy accommodation and incredible food, every part of the day was perfect. We’re so grateful for the unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

If you’re considering having your wedding at Drovers - do it! We first went to view the venue 18 months before we got married and the magic of Drovers shone through immediately, despite it being a dreary January day. We chose Drovers as our venue without going to see anywhere else. Having had our wedding there last weekend, it was 100% the right decision. From start to finish, we couldn’t have asked for any more. The venue itself is amazing - the setting, the accommodation, the views, the barns, the animals! The food was something which drew us towards Drovers initially and it did not disappoint. Everything from the chilli on the Friday night, to the breakfast hampers, the wedding day feast and the Sunday brunch was just incredible. Seeing it come together right in front of our eyes was a highlight for everyone. If all of the above isn’t enough, the thing that stood out most to us about Drovers is the people - everyone who works there is kind, relaxed, cheerful and fun. So many guests commented on the team - on how close-knit they are and on what a wonderful atmosphere this creates. There is a sense of calm at Drovers, which I can only imagine is quite rare to find in the wedding industry, and it is absolutely priceless. We cannot thank Drovers enough for giving us a wedding weekend that exceeded all of our expectations and we would wholeheartedly recommend them.

From the moment we turned into the drive at Drovers Rest, we knew this was somewhere special. The rustic barns, rolling hills, and sweeping views felt like a scene from a storybook. We parked up the cars, stepped out into the fresh countryside air, and instantly felt ourselves exhale. It was as if time slowed down. Our guests kept saying it felt like we’d all escaped on holiday together. The day unfolded like a dream. Sensational food was cooked over open fires right before our eyes – such a unique and magical sight. Every dish was plentiful, bursting with flavour, and beautifully presented. And the cheesecake… an unforgettable dessert that’s a must-have for anyone visiting – rich, creamy, and impossible not to go back for seconds. The team at Drovers Rest were more than staff – they felt like part of our wedding party. Warm, friendly, and quietly attentive, they not only made sure every moment ran smoothly but also took the time to chat with our guests, making everyone feel welcome and at home. As the sun set over the fields, we looked around at our friends and family smiling, eating, and celebrating together, and we knew this was the perfect place for our wedding. The only downside was how quickly the day went. For such a breathtaking and unique setting, the price was incredibly reasonable, and we’re already dreaming about returning for one of their special event evenings. Drovers Rest didn’t just give us a venue – they gave us a place we’ll carry in our hearts forever. Natalie - The Bride

Me & my partner got married at Drovers Rest in June this year, and it was an absolute dream come true! We knew from the moment we pulled in to the car park for our first visit that it would be the one after seeing its rustic charm, animals grazing and stunning grounds. After speaking to Kesri and the team this was solidified and no other venue came close - dog friendly, AMAZING food, alpacas & gorgeous accomodation- what more could you want?! We’re so glad that we went ahead with that decision, and chose Drovers to be the place we celebrated one of the most special days of our lives. Kesri and Lola were always just a message away when we had 100 questions during the build up, and they did all they could to help us get everything just the way we wanted. The team are so flexible with your choices and wishes, they did their best to accommodate to every wish or idea we had and wanted to get on board. The team were incredible the whole weekend too- from Paul picking me and my bridesmaids up in his van from Drovers Cottage in the pouring down rain to take me to the ceremony, all the way through to the chefs saving us the canapés we missed whilst having photos taken, and Kesri making bouquets out of the left over flowers we had to give to friends and family. There’s not a single guest who hasn’t commented on how incredible they all were, they made us all feel welcomed and like a part of their family. Our parents are especially impressed and grateful for all their efforts and kindness 🤍 The food was amazing, and again, praised by everyone. We had a breakfast together the next morning for all guests who stayed on site, all freshly cooked on the fires outside which was such a special and unique touch to end the experience with our closest friends and family. All in all, it’s a truly wonderful and unforgettable place, with a team that go above and beyond for you, your family & your friends. Honestly, thank you so much for everything, you are the most kind-hearted and welcoming family, you’ve given us a day we will never forget, perfect from start to finish, and we would love nothing more than to do it all over again. But nevertheless, we will be back for a good camping holiday around the fires with the alpacas next summer ❤️

After viewing what felt like a hundred wedding venues, we were so happy when we came across Drovers Rest. If we could sum up our personalities within a venue - this was - the one! 12 months later and the team at Drovers absolutely smashed it, and gave us the best weekend of our lives and the perfect wedding which we’ll remember forever! Festival vibes, a fire cooked feast, a woodland ceremony and a party that lasted from Friday - Sunday ( quite literally ) - the onsite accommodation was perfect for all, and the relaxed atmosphere really took the stress away from everyone ( mainly me :) ) - Thankyou to the best team, who went far beyond what we ever expected. We can’t wait to visit you all again in the future for more great memories ( and food :) )! Much love guys! From Alex, Abi and all our guests!

I was lucky enough to get married at Drovers Rest in August. What can I say... I fell in love with the farm, the family, the staff, the animals... The specifics on food and the accommodation etc are very easy to describe, but what is difficult to explain is how I feel about the family and the venue now. It almost feels like another home, and I am really looking forward to going back soon. For one short weekend we really felt like we were part of the family. Kesri and Paul made it so clear from the start that they would try and make whatever idea we had to come true. Luckily for them, we are pretty laid back people. The biggest and most important thing for us was that we, and our friends, felt comfortable and could enjoy the weekend as much as we possibly could. And they fulfilled that in every sense. Before the wedding, Lola and Kesri were really good with quotes, ideas, help, talking us through things and making sure we were really happy with everything. We also headed up to the venue for an open day and tried the INCREDIBLE food and had a good look around the cottages and the options for the ceremony. Paul showed us around and we had a really good laugh with him about ideas and what other people have done on site. We opted to have our ceremony in the woods, and it was truly beautiful. The sun came through the leaves and branches, and it is so quiet and peaceful. Then the drinks reception afterwards was a lot of fun. The bar is great, and all the team seem to get involved in making sure drinks are flowing. We had games and music and it felt really great in the shade of the sun. Then the team start to cook the food... in the courtyard with you. And people LOVE being able to see it being cooked in front of them. Service was great throughout the meal, and then we partied the night away... And I'm really glad to say that we got to party with the team. Marta (we love you!) and her daughter were dancing with us, Kesri and Paul joined us for toasts, and their children had a great laugh with us making cocktails and serving shots at the bar. And then we got to do it all again on the Sunday! I'll end by saying that it was genuinely getting a little awkward with the amount of our guests telling us how amazing everything was. This was no grand "pimp my wedding" style affair, but it was heartfelt, and done exceptionally well, and the two things that really made it were the amazing food and the incredible team. Everyone loved all the staff and the family, and every plate of food that was served was met with absolute joy, and whilst we (I) was happy to take a lot of the credit from our guests for a great wedding weekend, really it was down to Drovers to understand what we wanted, understand that (I think) we're on the same page in many ways, to deliver incredible food and drink, but mainly to just be themselves and to welcome us into their home for the weekend. KEsri, Paul, Family and Team. Thank you.

We got married at Drovers Rest in September 2025 and it's was just perfect! Kesri, Paul and the whole team were wonderful, they were there when we needed help or advice but they left you to really make the place your own! From the first enquiry to the day after the wedding they were available via WhatsApp for every little question we had. The food and accommodation was amazing and we are still getting compliments on all of the weekend from family and friends. We were a bit worried the week of the wedding with the weather not looking good so we changed from the forest area to inside last minute, but this was still just as beautiful and we couldn't make the day better if we tried! If you are wanting a relaxed, unique and beautiful weekend to celebrate your wedding then Drovers Rest is exactly what you are looking for... Plus super cute animals around every corner!

Highly recommend drovers rest as a wedding venue. From the moment we went for a viewing Kesri was welcoming, friendly and informative, I instantly had a good/excited feeling about drovers. This was the first venue we had viewed and so we went on to view other venues just in case, however no other venue matched the character, beauty and natural rustic aesthetics and we could not wait to book in our wedding with them. We got married just over a week ago and I could not have asked for a better day. So many of our guests are still saying how it was the best wedding they had been to. All the staff were friendly and assertive, food was delicious and everyone was able to move around for a more informal feel which allowed friends and family on both sides to socialise with one another. I am a huge animal lover and so having the horses and ponies walking up to me as my dad, bridemaids and I walk towards the barn from my cottage was incredible and helped settle my nerves. We were later on in the day also asked if we would like to feed the alpacas which I jumped at the offer. My now husband (not as much of an animal lover) was hesistant but this made the experience even funnier and I cannot wait to see the results from our photographer. The cottages are beautiful and clean and the beds and pillows were really comfy. We will definitely be coming back to drovers at some point in the future for a stay and even some of our guests are wanting to also. Kesri, Paul and all the other drovers staff thank you so much x

Drovers Review From the moment we first visited Drovers Rest we knew we’d found our place - the setup is not only beautiful and natural but calm and welcoming and nothing felt like it would be too much trouble. Kesri, Paul and the team were absolutely fantastic throughout and are so grateful to them. When the day itself came round everything was well-organised and Paul, Kesri and their whole team made it smooth from start to finish. They made anything we needed happen with no stress and took care of all the little things without us even noticing! They were always around if we needed anything and we owe them thanks for some wonderful photos and reels! It is rare to go to a wedding where guests are raving about the food but that’s exactly what you’ll get at Drovers! No words to describe that food! It is a really special place where the team will work with you to create your day just as you imagined it. The stunning surroundings and host of animals make sure you will also get some truly incredible photos. We also loved that all of our close friends and family could stay on site making it feel like a weekend long celebration. As long as you don’t mind the odd 4-legged friend making an appearance in the proceedings, you won’t find anywhere better. Thank you again Kesri, Paul and your entire wonderful team!
