  • "The venue was beautifully maintained, with cozy lighting that created a warm and inviting atmosphere."
  • "The ceremony barn is just WOW and was one of the main selling points for us."
  • "The barn for reception drinks has been recently refurbished in navy blue, giving a really warm and relaxed feel."
  • "The grounds are also lovely with fields surrounding the barns, including the oak tree and swing which gave us some of our favourite photos!"
  • "From the picturesque wooden beams, to the existing lights and foliage, Milling Barn is a lovely backdrop ready to go."

Cons:

  • "The room we stayed in was tiny the mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable and didn't get a good night's sleep."
  • "The venue was nice, but got far too hot at the main meal time, so everyone had to keep getting up to go outside to cool down."
  • "Rooms are basic coffee tea but no TV or radio."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "We owe everything to our gorgeous wedding coordinator, Mimi. She is SUCH an asset to the team- professional, kind and patient."

  • "The staff were absolutely fantastic at making our wedding day the most perfect day."
  • "The young management team kept a discrete presence ensuring everything went smoothly and the whole day was comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable."

Cons:

  • "One thing that we feel that could be improved would be the pre-wedding planning as at times it became confusing for both parties."
  • "Planner / manager - appeared annoyed that we were at the venue from the first minute."
  • "Sometimes in the lead-up to the wedding, the communication could have been a little better with waiting a while for replies to emails."
  • "Rude, Disgusting, Greedy, and Vile people. I can only say how much of a bad experience I have had with this company/venue."
  • "Poor communication throughout the whole event, director of company constantly made references to small wedding and any opportunity to add cost."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was incredible- we had so many compliments about it all and will forever dream of that crème brûlée!"
  • "Everything went perfectly, can't thank the staff enough."
  • "The food is delicious and we had so many compliments after the wedding on how tasty everything was."
  • "Our guests loved the food and had a lot of fun carving the beef! The pizzas were a hit too."

  • "The food was brilliant, everyone seemed to love it, and the waiting staff were very efficient!"
  • "The breakfast the next day was delicious and a really nice touch."

Cons:

  • "We never got to do a menu tasting, however, all the food on the day was delicious."
  • "The only mark down in stars was because we weren't able to have our food tasting which caused a bit of stress."
  • "Disappointed by the meal for Gluten and Dairy-free people. They appeared to completely mix up the orders and it appeared an afterthought for us."
  • "One example also was a young staff member who told off an old war veteran for drinking his own alcohol."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "This venue is such value for money- I say for many reasons and I hope you can see from my review and photos just how beautiful it was."
  • "Very reasonably priced compared to other venues in the area but what they offer is just as good if not better."
  • "We had the most amazing wedding day at Milling Barn. Everything was perfect, the day ran seamlessly and staff could not have been more helpful."

Cons:

  • "Lovely venue with great staff. Although I was doing the disco for a wedding, I bought a pint of diet coke and was horrified at the price of it, £4 for something that only costs a few pence."
  • "Great place for a wedding, but if staying over the rooms are lacking especially for the price."
  • "As a wedding venue very nice only have 7 rooms which are basic coffee tea but no TV or radio paid 125.00 per night with breakfast."
