“Our day couldn’t have gone better at Dartington, so thank you so much to you and all the staff at Dartington for making it such a special day! So many people commented on the venue, and it was lovely that a bit of sun even came out for us. The Catering Manager was brilliant on the day and ensured we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and there were lots of compliments. Also the staff at the bar were so friendly and helpful...we won’t hesitate to recommend Dartington as a venue for weddings.”
