Hurst Farm B&B

Our host, Victoria made us feel welcome and we immediately felt at home in the beautiful rural setting. Our room was very comfortable with stunning views of the countryside from the bathroom. The communal kitchen area is spacious, well equipped and a lovely place to relax and enjoy the tranquility and views. We were served delicious breakfasts and Victoria provided helpful information about the local area. We had good weather and made good use of the large swimming pool. We highly recommend this friendly and comfortable B&B.

Please do not use this venue for your wedding reception. We were progressing with the Hurst farm for our reception however changed our venue now, thankfully!.There are many things wrong with the venue, no parking on site and would have to provide shuttle service from local village hall at an additional charge to hire the car park (£150) and hire shuttle. There is only one toilet for guests. Victorias contract was very rigid, strict noise rules with a charge if not adhered to, amongst many others which made the whole experience feel too structured with too many terms and conditions. The deposit was huge, meaning now we are unable to use the venue due to guest mobility issues Victoria is withholding over £1500 of my money. This is far more than “industry standards” and unreasonable. Victorias communication in general is quite abrupt, clear that she wanted to profit from the scenario rather than having keen interest in the wedding industry. Once all external providers were sourced such as stretch tent, lighting, catering, bar, alcohol license, generator etc it was working out to be just as expensive as a packaged wedding somewhere else. Other venues have experience and the facilities, unlike Victoria who has never hosted a wedding reception before. Overall the experience was poor. If you want your day to be special I advise using experienced wedding venue.

We came here to stay for my sister’s hen do. Victoria is a fantastic host and does everything she can to accommodate. It is perfect for a girly weekend away and the views are incredible! We had so much fun in the pool (even if it was a bit cold) and Victoria cooked us lovely breakfasts each morning. We rented her barn kitchen for the evening which was a great idea. Will definitely come back again!
