explore by destination
I recently had the opportunity to spend a day in the Cotswolds with my dear friend Olivia of Host Weddings & Events. We toured three charming venues—all quintessentially English—and enjoyed a fresh lunch at Daylesford Farm in between. It was a full day of inspiration and beauty in the lush, sunny countryside.
Our first stop on our tour was at Cornwell Manor wedding venue. Cherished by many as one of England’s most picturesque country homes, this beautiful property is perfect for a wedding in the English countryside. With vast gardens, on-site accommodations, and a charming façade, it’s hard to beat its allure. It was even used as the backdrop for one of my favorite films: It’s where Jude Law and Cameron Diaz filmed their “falling-in-love” montage in Nancy Myer’s 2006 film, The Holiday.
So without further ado, here’s a tour of Cornwell Manor and how to know if it’s the perfect destination venue for you:
First of all, Cornwell Manor is the perfect location for a private getaway for you and your wedding guests. The manor has accommodations for up to 24 people in 12 beautifully-decorated bedrooms. A full breakfast is included, allowing you to savor a long, relaxing morning. Additionally, the manor has extensive gardens to explore and a heated swimming pool. Cornwell Manor has nurtured a charming escape in the countryside—a place you can relax and feel at home.
The English are renowned for their gardens. They’re able to blend a sense of structure with untamed whimsy. The gardens at Cornwell are a perfect example. Climbing ivy, lavender hugging stone paths, and thriving rose bushes all make the gardens a magical, sensory delight. Altogether, the estate covers 2,000 acres of untouched countryside. Cornwell Manor is able to accommodate marquees for up to 200 guests, so you can celebrate nestled within the stunning gardens. Plus, the sweeping views of sheep-dappled fields add another element of romance—the romance of William Wordsworth or Jane Austen, that is.
Lastly, if you’ve always dreamt of an elegant wedding in the English countryside, you’ve found your match in Cornwell Manor. With easy access from London and Heathrow International Airport, plus local charm of the Cotswolds, it’s an ideal location for a full countryside experience. Cotswolds favorites like Daylesford Organic Farm Shop & Spa and minutes away. For couples dreaming of a destination wedding nestled in the countryside, Cornwell Manor offers everything you could dream of—and beyond.
My sincerest thanks to Charlotte for welcoming us to Cornwell Manor.
