ACROSS THE BORDER

Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa, Climping

Bailiffscourt has to be one of the most intriguing hotels in the UK – a cluster of antique-filled medieval dwellings that make it hard to believe they came to life only a century ago. Built as the home for the Guinness family in the 1920s by Lord Moyne – using medieval timber and stone collected from 13th-century buildings nearby – Bailiffscourt still feels like a family home. From the moment guests walk in, they are greeted with the warmest of welcomes.
Venue: Hotel & Spa Ceremony Spaces: 13th Century Chapel, The Music Room & a variety of delightful outdoor spaces Capacity: Up to 350 in the marquee / tipi Accommodation: 39 bedrooms

Why couples love it

From candlelit dinners to late-night dancing, couples have the freedom to style and dress the hotel to suit the wedding of their dreams.
