In case helpful, please refer to the images here for inspiration and guidance for the dress code for Saturday’s ceremony and reception. We kindly request dark suits or tuxedos and bow ties for men, and floor-length dresses for women. Ladies, please feel free to embrace summery palettes and bold silhouettes.

We have booked the manor house for our exclusive use throughout our wedding weekend. We are so grateful to those traveling near and far to join us in the Cotswolds, so we have covered a portion of the room rates. All rooms at the manor house have been booked, but there are several other hotels and inns located close to the property.

For any booking related questions, please reach out to Cassie Stewart (Cassie.Stewart@exclusive.co.uk).

For those traveling internationally: the United Kingdom now requires an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). The application, which can be accessed here, may require up to three working days to process. It may be faster, but please plan to request the ETA sufficiently in advance of your travel date. It costs around £10 ($12.75), and lasts for two years from the date of approval.

We strongly recommend renting a car or utilizing a taxi service for transportation. Uber and other car hailing apps are less reliable in the Castle Combe area.

Should you prefer public transportation options from London, we recommend arriving by train into Bath or Chippenham station. The Manor House is a short 15 - 20 minute taxi from there. We strongly encourage you to prebook a taxi as there can limited drivers available. If you are unable to dial internationally, the hotel can assist with taxi arrangements (Cassie Stewart (Cassie.Stewart@exclusive.co.uk).
