We stayed 2 nights at the Old Deanery Cottages for a hen weekend in May 2023. The venue is absolutely spotless and the staff went above and beyond to help our group when needed. We really enjoyed our stay. The venue helped us to organised the catering which was extremely tasty and on time. They also helped us to organise a DJ. The facilities in the venue are perfect for a hen weekend as there are plenty fridges and an outdoor bar area as well as an indoor barn which also has a wine fridge. Would highly recommend visiting the Old Deanery.
I cant recommend this location enough, I enjoyed my hen here last weekend and I can't fault a thing. We had the best weekend from start to finish. I want to go back already. Thank you for having us and giving me a weekend to remember 🥰
We are just back from a fantastic hen weekend at The Old Deanery. Bryanna was the perfect host and was so helpful. I couldn't recommend this venue enough. And I look forward to staying here again in the near future.
Stayed here recently with extended family for a 50th wedding anniversary celebrations. Perfect spot for such a celebration. There was room (indoor or outdoor) for us all to be / eat together as a group when wanted. Really nice, clean accommodation. Nice secure outdoors for kids to play and adventure. Bryanna was so helpful to us during our stay. Would 100% recommend!

The Old Deanery is the most incredible place! I had my hen party here and everything was perfect from start to finish, especially for a big group! The courtyard, bar area and all the rooms were absolutely amazing, as well as the lovely owners and the most beautiful pups CJ and Django! 10/10!
