We recently held our wedding at this amazing venue and we couldn't have asked for a more

We recently held our wedding at this amazing venue and we couldn't have asked for a more. Simon and Nicky held our hands right through from the planning stage, to the big day itself. The venue ican cater to everyone's needs from smaller affairs through to large family weddings such as our own. Stunning views across the moors and Chagford on the doorstep with multiple pubs and hotels close by for guests to stay. We can't recommend weddings at Monks highly enough.

We had a wonderful time and Nicky and Simon really made us feel at home at Monks

We had a wonderful time and Nicky and Simon really made us feel at home at Monks. The whole venue is beautiful especially the stunning gardens. The Corn Barn was perfect for our main meal and then ceilidh and the art gallery made a great concert/chill out space. We really enjoyed the flexibility to have our own suppliers and were grateful for their help in recommending some, we were able to craft exactly what we wanted. Having access during the week before and day after let us enjoy relaxed flower arranging and bunting-hanging with our family. The Old Barn cottage was the perfect place to spend our first night as husband and wife, and having our own little place to keep a change of shoes during the day was ideal. Plus, the whole thing was such good value for money!

The whole of Monks is gorgeous! I think I value most the continuing friendships with our brides. I love that they drop into Monks for tea, to tell us about pregnancies, show us their beautiful babies, or just revisit a place which holds such very special memories for them.
