Estate and gardens, established 1840
Three rooms, forty acres, and one wedding a weekend. The Ambler is a working estate that gives you the whole of it, from the first coffee on the terrace to the last car down the drive.
The Stone Hall / West wingThe spaces
Book any one of them and the other two come with it. There is no second party on the other side of the wall, no queue for the drive, and no one asking you to be out by eleven.
Space 01
Nine metre ceilings, limestone walls the colour of a winter morning, and eleven arched windows that carry the light from breakfast right through to the last dance. Our largest room, and the one people book two years out.
Space 02
A working barn from 1840, taken back to the frame and rebuilt around blackened steel and polished concrete. Warm at night, cool in August, and the acoustics are forgiving enough for a live band.
Space 03
Wisteria over a stone balustrade, gravel underfoot, and a view that runs down to the water. Ceremonies here start at six so the light is behind you, and we hold the barn as the wet weather plan at no charge.
The year here
Rates move with the light and the demand, not with the day of the week. A Friday in October costs what a Friday in October is worth.
Blossom on the drive and the orchard in flower. Cool evenings, so the barn earns its keep after dark.
From 9,400The terrace at its best. Long light until nearly ten, dinner outside, and the hall left open to the garden.
From 14,200Copper light through the west windows and the vineyard turning. Our quietest season and our prettiest.
From 11,800Candles from four in the afternoon, fires lit in both halls, and the whole estate to yourselves.
From 7,600Weddings hosted since the barn reopened

Every frame was taken on the estate, on a real weekend, with the rooms dressed the way we hand them over.
The enquiry
We only take one wedding a weekend, so the calendar is short and the answer is quick. You will never wait a week to hear whether your date is free.
Tell us the season, the rough number, and whether you want a ceremony on site. We reply inside one working day with the dates that are still open.
An hour with the events lead, no sales pitch. We walk all three spaces at the time of day your wedding would run, so you see the real light.
A signed agreement and a deposit hold the date for twelve months. Everything after that is scheduled around you.
Four planning sessions, a menu tasting, a supplier list we actually stand behind, and a run sheet the whole team works from.
A real person reads every one of these. Expect a reply the same working day.
Party of 80 to 140. No deposit taken at this stage.
That is when the west windows do the thing that sells the room. Bring whoever you like. We will put the kettle on and walk you round.
