The drive circles a flagpole, which can be raised on arrival with the couples chosen flag. Its two walled gardens not only provide an exquisite backdrop to wedding photography but are a wonderful setting for guests to enjoy a country garden and its romantic ambience. The Nuns garden with it's two water features and a large magnolia tree providing welcome shade in the summertime, making it an idyllic space to hold a drinks reception while the Vine Room is being prepared for dinner. Through a wooden door another garden is discovered, with its sunken central lawn, mature fruit trees and multitude of scents. An herbaceous bed borders the lawn, including rosemary, lavender and bay leaf trees, producing a pleasing aroma all year round. Mistletoe entwines apple and plum trees' branches, and discreet lighting illuminates the foliage, while overhead spotlights make evening use of the garden possible a small paved area provides the ideal space for musicians to serenade a drinks reception, with the use of an electric point. In the past various blessings have occurred in the sunken garden, after the Civil Ceremony takes place in the Vine Room.
