Chantmarle Manor
A unique Manor House wedding venue in Dorset
Chantmarle Manor Wedding Venue
Chantmarle Manor lies in the very heart of Thomas Hardy country in the River Frome valley, Dorset making it ideal for country manor style weddings. The Somerset and Dorset towns of Yeovil and Dorchester are only 10 miles away.
Chantmarle means "Song of the blackbird" in Norman French and when you visit it is easy to see how the venue inspired such a pretty name. Chantmarle Manor retains the charm and character you would expect from a 13th century Grade I listed manor house, yet is finished to the highest contemporary standards.
Period features include latticed windows, huge carved stone open fires and oak-panelled reception rooms with ornate ceilings.
The gardens, listed in their own right as Grade II*, are set in stunning countryside with woodland, lakes, fountains and even a moat. Formal terraces and water gardens are visible from every window in the Manor House.
Overnight Accommodation is available for the wedding couple and their key guests to enjoy:
- Honeymoon Suite - complimentary for the wedding couple
- 14 double bedrooms - including several that can be arranged as suites
- 3 cottages - ideal for family groups
This stunning medieval manor house is truly an exclusive wedding venue, perfect for both winter and summer weddings.
