    Little channels was the perfect venue for our big day. The staff were very easy to work with, the planning process was effortless and the day was exactly what we wanted. One of our guests had a lot of allergies and they went above and beyond to ensure her needs were met. Would highly recommend Little Channels

    Wonderful place, we had our wedding here. Very welcoming staff were amazing all day. Catering was spot on and managed to serve to a high standard as well as catering for vegetarians, all friends and d family thoroughly enjoyed day and night and we are forever grateful for making a stressful day really straight forward, thank you again to all that was involved. Cottage was beautiful and breakfast the morning after was delicious very highly recommended

    Best wedding venue! We got married at Little Channels a few weeks ago. It was absolutely amazing! The staff were so kind, professional and lovely from start to finish! They were so helpful throughout the planning process and great on the day of the wedding! The day run smoothly and the food was UNREAL! We couldn’t have pictured/ dreamt of a better wedding and we owe a lot of that to Little Channels! We highly recommend Little Channels to anyone for any occasion! Love Ellie and Julien x
