From the Experts

Ali

"My visit to Grittleton House in Wiltshire was an absolute delight & the wow factor as you approach from the driveway. The historic manor house, which was previously used as a school is nestled amidst stunning parkland, exudes a timeless charm. Vanessa & her team gave us a guided tour, provided fascinating insights into the property's rich history & architectural details. The staff were incredibly friendly & knowledgeable, & canapes were delicious making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend choosing Grittleton House if you're looking for that English country house wedding venue. I felt from it's previous use as a school it has a touch of Hogwarts from Harry Potter, with the hallways, amazing staircases & beautifully decorated rooms. A must for anyone looking for that country house feel."
