 The Dairy
The Dairy nestles in a tranquil waterside setting amidst glorious gardens offering a haven of peaceful tranquillity where total exclusivity is guaranteed for your wedding. Breathtakingly beautiful, with architecturally elegant rooms, roaring log fires in winter and a wide terrace with two pavilions projecting out into the lake perfect for shaded summer drinks receptions. The Dairy offers a wonderfully romantic backdrop - whatever the season.
At the end of the 19th Century Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild commissioned a local firm of architects to create a Dairy to house his prize-winning herd of cattle.
The design was influenced by Marie Antoinette's farm at Versailles.
In 1989 Lord Rothschild initiated an extensive restoration programme to transform The Dairy into a stylish venue for weddings. The project also included the restoration of The Dairy's Victorian water gardens which were created by James Pulham in the 1880s.
Set in private grounds beside a series of lakes fed by a freshwater spring, The Dairy is the perfect venue for exclusive entertaining.
