About Tawstock Court

Tawstock Court – Historic Country House Wedding Venue, North Devon Imagine saying your vows in a stunning Georgian country house, surrounded by 32 acres of ancient woodland, with breathtaking views stretching across the North Devon countryside. At Tawstock Court, that dream becomes your reality. Lovingly cared for by the Peryer family since 2012, Tawstock Court offers couples exclusive use of one of Devon's most beautiful and characterful venues — a place where history, romance, and celebration come together seamlessly. Your Perfect Ceremony Setting Whether you're dreaming of an intimate indoor ceremony or a magical outdoor moment, Tawstock Court has options to suit every style. Exchange vows in the elegant Panelled Hall, where carved wooden pillars and an open fireplace create an unforgettable atmosphere for up to 100 guests. Step outside and choose between the enchanting 16th-century Elizabethan Gatehouse with its original wooden doors, or our stunning Balustrade fountain terrace — with views across the valley to Codden Hill that will leave your guests speechless. St Peter's Church is even just a two-minute stroll from the garden, perfect for couples wanting a traditional church ceremony. Celebrate in Style After the ceremony, your guests can explore the grounds, enjoy welcome drinks by the fountain, or settle into our warm and inviting front rooms and lounges. The iconic Lantern Staircase, Courtyard, and ancient woodlands offer endless opportunities for those photographs you'll treasure forever. When it's time to dine, The Old Refectory — with its stunning parquet floor, reclaimed wood feature wall, and twinkling lights — accommodates up to 108 guests for your wedding breakfast, and transforms effortlessly into an evening party space with room for a live band or disco. Looking for something a little extra? Head to the Gatsby-inspired Clutterbuck Bar for cocktails, enjoy a game of pool or table tennis in our games room, or let guests unwind under the canopy of lights in our magical Courtyard — complete with ambient lighting, a decking area and swinging chairs. End the evening with a spectacular fireworks send-off for a truly unforgettable finale. Food, Drink & Accommodation We believe your wedding should be entirely yours, which is why we offer complete flexibility when it comes to catering. Choose from our carefully selected list of trusted local suppliers, or opt for one of our inclusive packages. From elegant à la carte dining to relaxed hog roasts and food vans — whatever your vision, we'll help make it happen. After an evening to remember, up to 45 guests can stay onsite in our comfortable accommodation, located right beside the main house. Your Honeymoon Suite includes a beautiful get-ready area to start your day in style, and the morning after, guests are treated to a full English breakfast served in the main house. Come and See It for Yourself No photograph or description truly does Tawstock Court justice — it's the kind of place you need to experience in person.
