About The Oak Barn, Frame Farm

Begin your “happily ever after” in your own bespoke style at The Oak Barn-be it a lavish banquet or relaxed rustic wedding. Our exclusive use farm, featuring two spectacularly restored barns and a weaving house, is the perfect venue for Your Wedding.

The Oak Barn, Frame Farm is our spectacular Grade II listed threshing barn, is a versatile space that retains historic character. The magnificent high vaulted roof, floor to ceiling glass doors and latest technology will ensure both you and the barn are beautifully lit day or night. Underfloor heating and a wood burning stove will keep you cosy and warm in winter, and in summer our air-conditioning system will keep you cool throughout your function.

The Byre has classic elegance and tranquil views down the valley and across the pond, and flows onto the terrace through floor to ceiling glass doors and into a sheep field. Wandering away from the terrace you will discover a picturesque wildlife pond and listen to the trickling music of our waterfall. Both barns are licensed for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships.

Weaver's Cottages dates from 1607 and offer refined contemporary accommodation. Rich tones and sumptuous upholstery blend elegantly with an eclectic mix of contemporary and classically styled furnishings, and all feature an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with full height glass doors that lead into the secluded courtyard.

You will love the beauty of the farm whatever the season, from the impressive barns to the lily pond and tranquil gardens. A warm welcome and personal service will ensure that your wedding is everything you ever dreamed of.
