Billy Paterson2023-04-22T11:18:26+0000We recently had our wedding at Barnutopia and can not recommend it enough! The entire weekend was PERFECT and the team... were incredible from start to finish. We booked to see the site and had a tour from both Donna and Katrina, even booking a second look around closer to the date. We had the catering through Barnutopia as well and it was all delicious and served with professionalism. It was exactly what was needed throughout the day. The rooms were clean and warm, each person was made to feel welcome and part of the family for the whole weekend. If you are looking for a rustic, beautiful wedding venue, with an intimate and highly personal touch, look no further. The team can not do enough for you and are there to help create your dream day. Thank you SO MUCH to the whole team, you made our dream a reality!read more Ashlee Milton2022-05-28T19:51:50+0000Posting on behalf of my mom, We’ve just gotten back from our vow renewal at Barnutopia, even after a long wait due to... covid and the rain we had an amazing time.

Our friends hired the whole site for the weekend for a birthday festival. We were so well... looked after by the entire team and the event ran seamlessly. The food was delicious and plentiful! The setting is beautiful and the site is enclosed and safe meaning the (many) children were free to enjoy themselves, leaving the grown ups to catch up. The facilities were great. We camped but the yurts looked spacious and comfortable. Would highly recommend!read more John Sills2021-09-14T20:06:49+0000We hired the whole site for a family festival to celebrate a big birthday. It was brilliant in every way. Katrina was... an incredible host from start to finish, helping with the planning, suggesting local businesses to help with things like decoration, and answering all of my (many, many) questions almost immediately. The venue itself is stunning, even better than it looks on the photos. The barn and yurt field are spacious and really flexible to do what you want with. The kitchen areas are really well equipped (including the table football table our boys loved). The campfires at the end of the night were perfect. We’ll definitely be back in the future and would recommend Barnutopia without hesitation.read more Jayde Leanne Rawlinson2021-09-03T05:05:37+0000We had such an amazing time here at Barnutopia. We stayed in yurt Axana with 4 adults and 3 children, there was so much... room and the yurt itself is beautiful. I would 100% recommend Barnutopia, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was an issue. Will definitely be returning!read more Holly Challenor2021-08-14T13:30:15+0000We’ve just had our wedding at Barnutopia on 11th August 2021, there were 27 of us in total, and what an amazing... experience it was! It was more than we ever imagined. Katrina was so helpful from planning the wedding right until the moment we left the venue. The staff are so attentive, friendly and an absolute credit. Catering was superb and the accommodation was incredible. Barnutopia is a stunning venue for a wedding or even just for a break away in the beautiful peaceful countryside with the stunning views; we would 100% recommend this little gem to everybody, the photos do not do it justice. Myself, my husband and every single one of our guests commented on how amazing the whole experience was. We Can’t wait to come back! Thank you so much for allowing us to have our special day here, it was absolutely perfect and an experience we will never forget.read more Karen Davies2021-08-08T17:58:05+0000Great wedding venue . romantic, cosy feel in beautiful surroundings Claire Palmer2021-07-28T17:36:41+0000We're just back from a wonderful few days of glamping and wedding celebrations at Barnutopia. Thank you to Katrina and... all the staff that made our stay and the wedding so enjoyable. Barnutopia is so tranquil and it was bliss to get away from everything in the beautiful countryside. Everything we needed to self-cater was provided. The animals, especially the 4 cats and 2 donkeys, were a huge hit with my kids and it was great that it was so safe we could let them off to explore around the campsite. The yurt was beautiful and very comfortable. We hope to return next year.read more Emma Nguyen2021-06-21T19:29:41+0000Just spent the weekend at Barnutopia for a hen weekend. Katrina is an excellent host and the food was great. I felt... very welcome, and she checked in each day to ensure all was well without us feeling as though we were being checked up on. 19 women finally freed of lockdown must have been a challenge but we were catered for beautifully. The yurts and huts were charming and the barn was a brilliant rustic place to party and the 360° views were breathtaking. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend.read more Lucinda Bates2020-10-30T20:00:43+0000My daughter and I had a fantastic time ...

Katrina and Steve were... the perfect hosts from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Nothing was too much for them. The weather was brilliant and even when the heavens opened later in the evening, everything was in hand. Thankyou all for an awesome day. 🙏 🤵👰😍😘read more Leah Jay2019-12-09T10:02:08+0000We had our wedding at Barnutopia this summer. Everything was fantastic, the location is beautiful, accommodation so... cosy and the venue itself is incredible. The best thing about Barnutopia however has to be Steve and Katrina. There was nothing that was too much trouble for them. Any worries were quickly managed by them, considering I expected it to be fully DIY and left to our own devices, Katrina and Steve were not only present to help make sure things ran smoothly, they were also fabulous company and great at counselling us through our nerves! Steve even took my toddler to play while I enjoyed breakfast, and they both made sure to keep everyone away while I had a little pre wedding melt down. Can’t wait to return to barnutopia for a break next year and to meet the new donkeys! thanks for everything, Leah and Lucasread more Leah Marie2019-11-07T14:41:47+0000I completely recommend this beautiful venue for a wedding!

The surroundings fill you with... deep sense of contentment. It is soo peaceful. The yurts and cabins are private but at the same time you can’t help feel a part of a wonderful community with other visitors, it is soo welcoming.

Thank you again.read more Becky Louise2019-08-07T15:24:13+0000My husband Paul and I chose Barnutopia as our wedding venue, taking place last weekend. We cannot praise this venue... enough. Katrina, Steve and their family are so warm and friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to make their guests’ stay special. Our wedding day was exactly as we imagined it would be, which was largely due to their advice help and support over 18 months. The location is beautiful and accommodation is fantastic for a glamping weekend. We can’t wait to visit Barnutopia again in the future and would highly recommend this venue for weddings and other large events as well as family holidays. Thank you ⭐️ 💕read more Mike Revill-Keen2019-07-05T15:00:25+0000We recently held our festival themed wedding at Barnutopia. We were looking for a unique venue and were especially keen... on the ability to have our wedding ceremony outdoors and the yurt/campsite which allowed our guests to stay onsite. From our first visit to Barnutopia we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. The views of rolling green hills from the farm are spectacular and when the sun comes out there is nowhere quite like Barnutopia. We also liked the freedom to bring in our own touches to everything, including decorations, caterers and alcohol. Our guests all loved the location, especially my younger relatives who enjoyed seeing all the farmyard animals onsite. Given that they’ve only been doing weddings for a couple of years, Barnutopia have everything you could want from a venue – decorations, lights, games and an assortment of miscellaneous props! Katrina and Steve went above and beyond what we would expect from venue owners. They fetched ice from the supermarket when we ran out, lit fires in the evening, helped us set up the venue before our big day and also cleared up the morning after the party. Katrina was very professional in responding to our emails/and those from our suppliers and we would recommend Barnutopia to anyone looking for a unique location for their wedding.read more Steve Boswell2019-06-30T20:19:11+0000What an amazing hidden getaway. the glamping pods are beautiful, specious and cozy.

We were made to feel so... welcome. Our daughter really enjoyed feeding the pigs and playing hide and seek on the beautiful grounds that are on offer. Our Yurt was spotlessly clean and well equipped. It was lovely having the owners join us around the camp fire (fire wood included) in the evening and exchanging stories. Fantastic time, thank you again for allowing us to make such fond memories at Barnutopia.

A day we’ll never forget!read more Susannah Clay2018-06-05T16:43:14+0000We went for a wedding last month, and were blown away by how stunning Barnutopia is. Katrina was really patient and... helpful, answering loads of questions over email before we went. I'm super allergic to life, so she even pestered her laundry to find out what sort of washing powder they used, and washed bedding separately for me, so that I didn't have to bring my own! She and Steve and their family all worked really hard to make the wedding day and the rest of the weekend special for all of us. We stayed in Yurt Axana, which is the big one at the top of the hill. There was loads of space, lovely furniture, and our alarm clock was the sound of the lambs outside. The only small issue was the heat inside the yurt during the day (there was a heatwave on, so it was to be expected), but I know Katrina has got plans to address this soon. We're planning to take some friends and their families next year. Go, you won't be disappointed!read more Peach Peach2018-05-27T15:14:54+0000This place is a gem.

The kids played football, paddled in... the river, ran about non stop for hours, painted pictures and played in the party barn. We roasted marshmallows in the fire pits, had game of rounders with everyone and even had an outdoor cinema! The food provided was delicious and Katrina’s and Steve’s hospitality is 2nd to none.

Accommodation is comfy, cozy and clean. Heaters are provided. I highly recommend booking the breakfast as it is out of this world! Plenty of amazingly good cooked food by Katrina.

It was a great weekend with activities organised, Scavenger hunt, BBQ etc by Barnutopia on top of the party itself. The kids in our group loved it as did the dogs and the next time we come to stay ( yes we will be back) I'm definitely trying the Yurts out.

(which started nearly a year ago) was dealt with by the very patient and accommodating Mrs B. I booked the whole site for my family and friends. We had all the yurts, cabin and stables also some extra tent campers. We made full use of the Party barn and facilities, including Pizzas, cooked breakfasts and pancakes and we had a huge BBQ on the Sunday where no one went hungry � The scavenger hunt was great fun and suitable for all ages, our youngest was 3 and she loved running around the countryside collecting the 'blue diamonds' We also took full advantage of the glorious weather that Mrs B obviously booked for us too �.

But holidays like this are about more than just a bed and a view, they are also about the hosts and Katrina and Steve are simply amazing what with their ability to make you feel completely at home straight away and a natural manner that is exactly the opposite of the commercial attitude some business owners have. If you've got young children Barnutopia is aptly named as it is utopia with a barn! The kids have plenty of space to run and go wild, Felix and Fiona the pigs were a big hit with our 18 month old and Ziva the dog was very bouncy and played with our 4 yr old really well. Will definitely be going back again and raving about our experience to our friends and family.read more Jessica Kimpton2016-01-24T21:39:37+0000Outstanding.

The yurt itself was very clean and contained everything we needed, including some plug sockets for charging phones etc. The breakfast and evening meals provided are wholesome and tasty, setting us up for our hike of Snowdon! Bathroom with a decent shower is located in the main house along with a room to the use of the internet on a laptop etc as the WiFi doesn't quite stretch to the yurt we were in.
