“From the moment we first visited The Beech Tree Cottages, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our special day. The location itself is absolutely stunning. The staff is outstanding. From the first meeting, all the way through to the big day, they were incredibly professional, friendly, and accommodating. Amanda and Liz went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of! The food was phenomenal—our guests are still talking about how delicious the venue catered BBQ was!
