Take a look through some of our couples experiences to hopefully gain ideas of how to plan
your own, unique day at Hendall.
There are so many things to consider when choosing the perfect wedding venue, in fact it can be thoroughly overwhelming. Read why Nicky & Ben chose to hold their wedding here at Hendall, a Sussex Barn Venue which will hopefully help you decide that Hendall Manor Barns could be for you.
Wonderful property in a fantastic location. Nicola was a great host and very responsive. We enjoyed playing snooker, table tennis, tennis and the swimming pool. Lovely walks and pubs in the vicinity.
Thanks Nicola, we had a wonderful weekend!

Lovely brand new converted barn. Great amenities, great countryside location – shops and country pubs only a few miles away. Nicola and Peter were super friendly and welcoming. We wished we had found this place earlier during our stay in England.

A HUGE thank you to Nicola, Peter and Viki for all their hard work both during the wedding day and the planning/lead up.
Right from our very first contact with Nicola we were impressed by the way she worked and particularly liked that she had clear boundaries of what they do and don’t offer/recommend as this can really help with the overwhelming amount of decisions that there are to be made around organising weddings.
The shared spreadsheet was also a really helpful way to keep track everything decided/discussed in the in person meetings and via email.
The day could not have run smoother and we felt completely relaxed throughout the day knowing that were anything to happen Nicola was on hand to manage it.
The venue itself is gorgeous! The main Barn is beautifully designed and decorated without being too specific so you can still add your own touch to the space, the gardens are immaculately kept by Peter (not a blade of grass out of place) and the guest accommodation was equally stunning.
If you are thinking of having your wedding in Sussex I could not recommend Hendall Manor Barns more highly!
Kitty & Jack
Thank you so so much for helping make our wedding day the best day ever! You are all incredible and helped us and our guests enjoy such a fun day.
We have had constant comments saying how stunning your venue is and how lovely you all are. We are so grateful for all your hard work and help you provided in helping us plan the day.
Everything was immaculate, the photos look incredible and we are so happy we chose Sarah to do our food. From our initial look around to leaving on the day, you have been so so helpful and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Hope you have a great summer and we will hopefully see you again soon (we will probably book the airbnb barn up for our 1st anniversary)

What an absolutely beautiful and amazing barn. My friends and I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would recommend it. The weather was great, the pool was pure tranquillity and the whole estate was absolutely stunning. We could have stayed for a lot longer and I plan on returning with my family next year! Thanks, Nicola and family for opening up your estate/barn to us and giving us a very warm welcome.
If I could rate it more than five stars I would!

Dear Nicola & Peter
Just to say thank you again for the loan of your barn for our wedding favour photoshoot.
It is a beautiful venue and the images have come out fantastically well.
Your generosity will really help to give hope to people living with dementia now and in the future.
Warm regards

Wedding speeches are an integral part of any wedding ceremony, and they offer an opportunity to express your feelings and gratitude towards the newlyweds. It is an opportunity to share your thoughts, memories, and wishes with the wedding couple, their family, and friends.
We had a fantastic family weekend at the beautiful stone barn. It was a great stay for relaxing, exploring and enjoying the countryside. The tennis court, pool table and table tennis provided plenty of entertainment, and the house had plenty of room for everyone, including a high chair and travel cot which were a nice touch for us. Nicola was a friendly and accommodating host, on hand whenever needed but we felt we had our own space.
Thank you for a lovely time!

Stayed here with three couples and three babies. The place is beautiful and big with lots of things to keep you entertained in the house – we particularly enjoyed the table tennis and pool tables! Nicola was an incredibly helpful host with good recommendations for local pubs with great food (would definitely recommend The Hurstwood pub).
Would come back to stay again!

Pink Prosecco has been making waves in the wine industry lately, and for good reason. This delicious and refreshing wine is a perfect choice for any occasion, from a casual brunch or a hen party, to a wedding! Here’s everything you need to know about it:
An outstanding stay in a fantastically beautiful barn and surroundings. What a charming area and quintessential English countryside location. The Cart Barn was pristine and extremely well equipped throughout including a high end finished bathroom. We brought our dog here and they slept all the way back home with us. That’s always a good sign!
Very comfortable bed and relaxing sofa in which to digest the House’s history, fascinating!
Absolutely first class hosts and thank you for letting be part of it. 100% recommended 🙂

Wedding food choices and ways of serving food at events are constantly changing. With differing trends making a seemingly sudden appearance, wedding evening reception food ideas are certainly food options that most people look forward to during the evening’s festivities. So here are some ideas for you to look through and really whet the appetite!
When it comes to a Summer Countryside wedding that effortlessly blends meaningful details, timeless elegance, and heart warming personal touches, Lauren and Liam’s special day at Hendall Manor Barns is one we’ll remember for a long time. Their celebration was a beautiful reflection of their story, their values, and their deep connection to the Sussex countryside.
Lovely brand new converted barn. Great amenities, great countryside location – shops and country pubs only a few miles away. Nicola and Peter were super friendly and welcoming. We wished we had found this place earlier during our stay in England.

What an amazing place to stay! My partner, my dog and I had the BEST New Year’s Eve break at the Cart Barn.
Nicola and Peter are amazing hosts, happy to answer any questions you have – nothing is too much trouble. Inside the barn it is beautifully decorated and furnished and it has everything you need, from cooking utensils to toiletries and maps of the local area. You are surrounded by gorgeous fields and wildlife, there are multiple walking trails in each direction and you are right on the edge of Ashdown Forest.
The area is really peaceful and quiet, perfect for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. There are 2 pubs close by, both in walking distance through fields and woodlands, that serve delicious food and drinks too.
We are already planning our return and have recommended the Cart Barn to friends and family. Thank you for an amazing stay!
