All the staff were so incredibly helpful and welcoming, nothing was too difficult and we felt completely at home. Food was delicious and accomodation was just a short walk from dinner so all our guests could enjoy a drink without needing to drive home. The accommodation was lovely and clean, the waterfall shower head was divine and the body wash smells amazing!. We will definitely be back to enjoy another stay after our time flew by way too quickly...Best place for a laid back wedding!

- oolivia Daniel30/04/2024It was so whimsicalIt was so whimsicalI got married at Ratho and oh my goodness. From start to finish my experience was just magical. I was the bride emailing every week and asking questions never did I feel like I was a pest. The requests I had was always met with such love and kindness. Venue- blank canvas you really could do what you want. The atrium was like a permanent marquee you got the view of the farm with the beautiful tree, festoon lights in the foreground. We got married under a beautiful giant oak tree...I got married at Ratho and oh my goodness. From start to finish my experience was just magical.
