Of course! Confetti is a joyful part of your wedding day - we ask that you use natural, fresh or dried petals, in keeping with our eco-conscious values.
We're pleased to offer 2 pet-friendly Stables Bedrooms - unfortunately dogs aren't permitted in the House Bedrooms or any dining rooms. Please get in touch for full details, as an additional charge applies. Bedrooms are allocated by the lead booker, so we can't always guarantee your request.
Yes, there's plenty of parking for guests along the main driveway. We ask that the front of the house is kept clear of vehicles (except disabled parking) to allow for photographs and emergency vehicles. Additional parking is available at the Stables for guests who've booked accommodation.
Cars are parked and left at your own risk.
Yes, all of our bars accept both cash and card payments.
The Stables Bedrooms are just a short 2-minute walk from the main house. We'd suggest bringing comfortable shoes for the walk over - the path isn't stiletto-friendly!
Yes, you'll need to pre-book a taxi in advance. Grittleton is a rural location with no passing traffic.
Yes - there are several local alternatives within the village. See our Stay page for a list of independent local accommodation.
Grittleton House is a private wedding venue in Wiltshire, not a hotel. Our onsite accommodation - House Bedrooms and Stables Bedrooms - must always be booked and coordinated through the wedding couple.
Our luxury House Bedrooms in our house accommodation are individually designed, combining traditional elegance with contemporary style. Each bathroom is equipped with toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner and body wash, plus a hairdryer, with a shared iron and ironing board available for guest use. Every room has tea and coffee-making facilities and a snack basket. Our Stables Bedrooms are more moderately priced but offer the same toiletries and tea and coffee facilities - please note there's no hairdryer in the Stables rooms.
Chippenham station is well served, with direct trains to and from London Paddington (via Reading and Newbury), London Waterloo, and Glasgow and Edinburgh (via Leeds, Birmingham and Bristol).
By train, we're just over 1 hour 15 minutes from London Paddington, 3 hours from Birmingham International, and around 1 hour from Bristol Temple Meads.
As a Wiltshire wedding venue, Grittleton House is 7 miles from Chippenham station - taxis are available at the exit, with the journey taking approximately 15-20 minutes.
We have wheelchair ramps throughout the ground floor, though as a Grade II listed building, we don't have lift access to the first floor. We have a large ground-floor toilet with wide, easy access and plenty of space - though we can't call it a disabled toilet, as it doesn't have an emergency pull cord, grab rails or a raised seat.
Yes - our beautiful mahogany library bar sits at the centre of the house, with a well-stocked selection and staff included in the hire of the house. The bar typically opens an hour before a civil ceremony, or as your first guests arrive from a church ceremony, and usually closes 15 minutes before the end of the party. Find out more about the bar.
Yes, if you require additional overflow accommodation, glamping is a great seasonal option! Please note Glamping is only permitted once all onsite accommodation has been booked. No Tents, motorhomes or campervans are permitted on site.
The Glamping Tents do not have power and you will also be required to hire a toilet and shower block. We are partnered with a great glamping company who can provide these services.
We want you to enjoy your stay right up until the last minute - non-resident guests are very welcome to join you for breakfast. Any additional guests must be booked and paid for in advance.
Check-in is typically from 4pm on your wedding date, with check-out the next morning at 10.30am. Please check with your wedding couple for their specific accommodation arrangements.
