Tieing the knot in 2017
The Sun has returned and it is that wonderful time of year again when we start to get excited about Weddings and celebrations to come. Devon is a magnificent county blessed with a great array of Grand Wedding Venues, the problem is which one to choose.
Here at Fridgerate we love a good wedding and we have scoured the hills, valleys, plains and coasts of Devon to bring you our favourite Grand Wedding Venues.
Shilstone
Romantic Georgian Country House
Guests enter the house into the East Hall, a bright airy space with an open fireplace which provides a warm welcome. A stunning 85ft passage leads the eye through a series of arches down the length of the house to the West Hall.
The Dining Room is at the centre of the South front of the house, overlooking the cascading pools and valley beyond. This large panelled room with full height windows and English oak floor has a fantastic open fireplace and, for those glorious summer days, doors leading out onto the Front Terrace.
The West Hall with its beautiful geometric off-white stone floor and open fire leads out into the West Garden; this semi-circular grassed sun-trap nestles over 3 levels between the main house and the Walled Garden, with a view of the west façade. Beyond this lies the Walled Garden, a fantastic space featuring a beautiful garden tower and stone fountain. The Walled Garden offers stunning views of Shilstone’s tiered lakes and of the rolling hills beyond.
