About Us
Welcome to Dryhill, a discreet 17th century Cotswold retreat perched high on
the escarpment in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Feel free to visit www.
dryhillweddings.co.uk for a real insight.

Our accommodation has been described as Cotswold contemporary in style and all
rooms are furnished to high standards. We even have a private honeymoon haven for
your wedding night.

Only available for a select number of events per year, Dryhill has peace and privacy
with stunning views for over 40 miles.

You are welcome to enjoy our 14 acres on an exclusive basis between May and
September, giving you space to breathe in this idyllic Cotswold setting.
You can relax in the Roman vineyard, wonder down to the private lakes for cocktail
sundowners or spend lazy evenings in the Italian garden with its Valoriani wood fired
oven - perfect for an arrival party!

There are so many options for romantic photographs and a chance to escape for some
private moments that other corporate venues simply cannot achieve.

For your chosen marquee and its facilities, we have a perfectly flat, tailor made,
grass area with spectacular views: perhaps the finest of any wedding location in the
Cotswolds.

To support you throughout your unique occasion, we provide an experienced Events
Manager, Anna Byass, dedicated to helping you enjoy some magical days at Dryhill.
We also include your own personal styling guru, to help with all aspects of bridal party
presentation and make-up, to further enhance your stay.

Please contact Anna Byass: anna@dryhillweddings.co.uk to arrange a personal tour
and we look forward to welcoming you and your family to Dryhill, one of the best kept
secrets for weddings in the Cotswolds.

respect our neighbours, the local community and our wedding guests by managing
traffic flow with sensitivity. For larger weddings, we have arranged well marked,
tarmac surfaced, off-site parking in the local Star College grounds, located adjacent to
our road access. Here, guests are supplied with a glass of Bubbly or a soft drink option
and a frequent shuttle service to the wedding site operating at 10 minute intervals.
The journey is less than 5 minutes. We supply appropriate VIP car passes to family
members or disabled guests as agreed with you.

Wedding Ceremony – Dryhill is the perfect place to host your Blessing. Locally
there are plenty of options where a civil ceremony can be held of which we can provide
recommendations.

Review meeting – Prior to booking, we request a meeting with you to review the
location to help clarify your needs and assess the venue.

Accommodation note – * The house is let purely for the use of guests provided with
accommodation at Dryhill rather than for general wedding use.
