An exclusive country-house and garden venue near Beaminster, with licensed garden ceremony settings and a converted 17th-century Coach House for up to 120. A three-bedroom Garden Cottage with two nights is included as standard.
Mapperton House & Gardens is an exclusive country wedding venue near Beaminster, with formal gardens arranged across several levels. Licensed outdoor ceremony choices include the Garden Pavilion, garden grottos and Orangery. The converted 17th-century Coach House is licensed for up to 120 and serves as the principal indoor ceremony and reception space.
The Dorset Council venue record states that a three-bedroom Garden Cottage with two nights’ accommodation is included as standard. Parking and disabled access are also listed. Because the gardens include terraces, paths and level changes, couples should discuss individual routes and weather plans rather than relying on the general accessibility label alone. A church blessing for up to 90 is described separately and is not a civil ceremony capacity.
No current public numeric wedding price was found, so Acre records Venue to confirm. The quote should define the cottage stay, exclusive areas, furniture, catering and permitted suppliers. At a viewing, follow the proposed route from the garden ceremony to the Coach House, including the wet-weather alternative and any steps.
