the venue

The gardens of the Old Stone House are a private oasis enclosed on all sides by mature trees, including 150 year old elms, 30 year old Cyprus pines and lilac hedging. A natural aisle has been planted with rows of weeping cherries and arches of soft pink roses overhead.

Feature garden rooms include the Japanese-inspired garden complete with pond and spanning bridge, sand garden and traditional flora of Japan; the round rose garden with many colours and varieties of roses, edged with fruit trees and mop tops; and the formal garden with raised beds of box hedging and standard roses, star Jasmine climbing the brick wall and benches from which to enjoy the view.
