WRENFELL
Wharfedale · Yorkshire Dales
Yours fromfirst light tolast dance.

Exclusive use of the hall, the barn and forty acres of it. One wedding at a time, never two.

A gritstone hall above the river, empty since the last family left it in 1998 and brought back over six years.

You get the whole of it for two nights — the house, the walled garden, the orangery and the barn — and the gate stays shut behind you.

The orangery

Glass on three sides, and whatever the sky is doing that morning.

Deep herbaceous borders in white and green against warm stone walls, a worn flagstone path running through

The walled garden

Drinks are outside unless it is properly raining. It usually isn't.

One long oak table set for eighty with white linen and candles, tall windows down one side

The long table

Eighty down one table. Nobody stuck at the far end of the room.

When the windows start to win against the sky.

The threshing barn at night, timber trusses overhead and festoon bulbs looped between the beams

The barn

Stone walls, no neighbours, music until one.

The long table late in the evening, lit only by candles burnt half down

We had the whole place for two days and never saw another soul. It rained most of Saturday and it did not matter in the slightest.
