“It is hard to put into words just how much we loved spending our wedding weekend at Cadhay with all our friends and family. The setting was perfect, better than we ever could have imagined.”

Licensed for Civil Ceremonies

Something that sets Cadhay apart from many other venues and makes it so special is that it is exclusively yours for a long weekend or week, rather than just the day of your wedding. This makes Cadhay the most perfect and relaxed venue for getting together with families and friends both before as well as after the big day.

Cadhay is a truly magical place to stay for a remarkable and unique self-catering experience for groups of family and friends. The Tudor Manor House and our Holiday Cottages can sleep a total of 36 people in comfort.

The whole estate exudes the history and grandeur of centuries past, but has been beautifully restored and offers modern comforts. It is a place where you can live comfortably and confidently in the rural East Devon countryside with the past all around you, yet still very much in touch with the modern world of today. We are located just outside of Ottery St Mary, in the heart of East Devon.

Extend the Celebrations

A stay at Cadhay allows you and your guests the exclusive and private use of the house and its magnificent gardens, thus allowing you to create a wedding that is unique for you. It is a bit like getting married in your own home – albeit a Elizabethan manor!

Should you choose to have your civil ceremony at Cadhay there are four main options. The Manor House itself provides the choice of three rooms for a maximum of 40 people. In our grounds we have the Granary, the Old Apple Store or the Bothy in the garden which are licensed for up to 110 people. Should you decide to be married in the garden, you can choose one of our other ceremony rooms for your ‘wet weather’ back up!

Working alongside our chosen caterers and marquee suppliers, you are free to incorporate your own special and very personal wishes into your wedding day, creating a style and mood that truly reflects who you are. If you wish to be married in church, then Cadhay is an ideal “home” to be married from, and to return to, for your reception.
