Shillingstone House

Shillingstone House was built in 1879 and has been lived in by the Salt family since the war. Set in 30 acres of stunning Dorset countryside, the house is in a secluded world of its own, and with only six weddings a year, you'll be ensured a unique wedding day to remember. Ceremonies take place in a gazebo in the garden or on the steps in front of the dining room doors and, afterwards, the two large lawns are the perfect place for a marquee reception. Couples have exclusive four-day hire of the venue, so there is plenty of time to decorate, celebrate and even brunch on Sunday. Music ends at midnight but guests can glamp/camp beside the walled garden and, here, can quietly continue to party round a fire pit until the early hours.
