Lazy afternoons watching cotton candy clouds blown along by a warm breeze.

The time worn touch of a vintage plate, the taste of an heirloom recipe and the joy of being surrounded by nature.

The simple joy of eating outside from a basket. ♥️

Our Vintage Picnics are back for the Sandpiper Festival on Fri 9th and Sat 10th August.

Saturday 10th is sold out, but we have a few spaces left on Friday 9th August.

So, if you’d like to enjoy a Vintage Picnic at the Manor, reserve your table now before they’re all gone.

We look forward to seeing you there. 😊

The Manor was filled with so much love, laughter, joy and celebration last weekend as three beautiful couples said “I Do” surrounded by friends and family.

The day couldn’t have been more magical as we hosted another “Intimately Yours” Wedding Day.

It was such an honour to witness each of the couples say their vows, and we want to say a big thank you to each of them for trusting us with their big day.

We also want to thank Sharlie Faye Photography for capturing the magical moments so perfectly, .blooms.farm for the exquisite bouquets, and for bringing such grace, warmth and love to each and every ceremony.

Sharlie captured each magical moment perfectly and so over the next few days I will be sharing some of the wonderful moments.

Today we want to congratulate Jenna and Matthew and wish them all the happiness in the world. ♥️
