Reviews
They also moved our ceremony centrepiece during the day, and were really lenient with what time we could arrive to set up and pack up. The venue itself is out of this world, the views are breathtaking and the space is honestly amazing - no venue compares! The barn is spacious and has a really handy pully system to decorate the ceiling, the woodland is beautiful and we loved sitting around the fire pit, which Graham kindly set up late into the evening.
The Foxglove Quarry was absolutely stunning with loads foxgloves and flowers dotted around the beautiful spot. The Shepherds Hut is fantastic and we definitely would love to come back for a stay! And our guests commented on how clean the showers were with great pressure. I could carry on, but go and see it for yourself you won't regret it! We can't thank you enough Louise and Graham!
Louise and Graham were very accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process and made ease of what is normally a stressful time!
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a barn wedding, excellent value for money too.
Our guests had lots of space to spread out. The bathrooms were lovely and clean, lots of refrigeration. Camping guests had a good time and we really enjoyed staying in the Shepherds Hut.
The venue is beautiful and offers so much. We were able to have our ceremony in the gorgeous Foxglove Quarry which provided the perfect backdrop. We then partied the rest of the day and night away in the barn and surrounding wooded area.
The views across Dartmoor are unrivalled, especially during golden hour and I cannot wait to see all our photos from the day. The bridal Shepherds Hut is also amazing. The venue is perfect if you want to DIY and really put your stamp on things. We were able to go in the day before and decorate ready for the big day. We hired bell tents and went for the camping option. It was so great to have family and friends staying on site for the weekend. Louise and Graham - who own the venue - were great and so helpful leading up and on the day of the wedding. Louise was great with communication leading up to the wedding and we were able to visit the venue on multiple occasions during the planning stage. We would recommend this venue over and over. Thank you for being the location for our special day.
Louise was on hand for anything we needed on the day before and the day of the wedding and everything went smoothly. The venue is set in a beautiful location and we loved that the Shepherds Hut was our little hideaway! I cannot recommend Holsome Park highly enough and thank Louise and her team from the bottom of our hearts.
