Exchange vows in this hidden gem in Dorset

The rustic exterior at West Axnoller Farm in Dorset

If you’re looking for something far from the madding crowd, check out this hidden gem. Tucked away in a secluded valley, weddings take place at West Axnoller Farm, a sprawling estate in the heart of the Dorset countryside close to the unspoilt beaches of the Jurassic Coast.

You can tie the knot and celebrate afterwards in the bright and modern converted barn, a spacious industrial chic setting with large glass doors providing panoramic views of the valleys beyond and room for up to 220 guests. The charming courtyard outside includes an elegant marquee and custom-built pergola surrounded with greenery and delicate white drapes; perfect for romantic ‘I dos’. 

There’s a wealth of other picture-perfect locations for al fresco ceremonies too, including a beautiful spot between two antique urns looking out over the rolling countryside. The elegant marquee provides a relaxing retreat for postvows drinks and the evening celebration. With accommodation in two stylishly decorated houses available for up to 24 people, it’s an idyllic place to chill out and enjoy a weekend-long experience.

We love… the amazing views and privacy.
