'Having our Wedding at Upper House was amazing, it was the most incredibly beautiful venue in the most prefect of settings. Upper House were wonderful hosts, making us feel at home and nothing was too much trouble’.

Amy & Danny

‘Upper House were a fantastic choice for us and our wedding, and were a class act throughout. The venue is grand and homely at the same time, a perfect mixture of traditional and beautiful, while being totally practical to entertain and accommodate big groups of people. Our guests absolutely loved every second and inch of the place. The people behind the house could not be better gate-keepers. Nicola and Paul helped us so much and were so insightful and professional about organising and running our wedding weekend. They are great people with a wealth of knowledge and ideas. We wouldn’t change a thing about our whole weekend in Hayfield because it really was the full package: our escape into a luxury country paradise. Our recommendation is to book it and not look back, you’re in good hands and you will never want to leave’.
