Wedding Venue with Accommodation in Oxfordshire

Stay Where You Celebrate

The Farmhouse
Our seven-bedroom Farmhouse sleeps 14 guests in absolute comfort and style. This isn’t just accommodation – it’s your private retreat at the heart of a working farm, redesigned specifically for our wedding couples and their loved ones.

The Honeymoon Suite is pure indulgence, complete with its own Champagne Bar and spacious dressing room where wedding morning preparations feel like part of the celebration. Meanwhile, the Groom’s Suite offers ample space for the ushers, featuring dual aspect windows, a huge fireplace and even a pool table for those pre-ceremony nerves.

But it’s the shared moments that make The Farmhouse special. Picture your wedding morning: everyone gathering in the vast country kitchen over coffee, the wedding party getting ready in different rooms but still together, children playing in the gardens whilst you sip champagne in the bridal suite. After dancing until late, sink into the wood-fired hot tub under the stars. Wake up the next day for breakfast together, perhaps a gentle game of tennis, and those precious extra hours that transform your wedding from an event into an experience.

The Shepherd’s Hut & Lodge
For newlyweds craving a romantic retreat, The Shepherd’s Hut offers the perfect hideaway. With its ensuite shower room, kitchenette and wood-burner, it’s just footsteps from the party yet completely private – your own little world for two.

New for 2025, The Lodge sits opposite the Thatched Barn with its garden terrace and field views, offering flexible space for additional preparation or accommodation. Every space at Tythe has been thoughtfully designed to enhance your celebration.
