Why it ranks so highly
A strong shortlist candidate when you want residential character and a hosted feeling rather than a large hotel wedding. When the weather allows, grounds and house can feel like one continuous place. The appeal is domestic grandeur: rooms and thresholds rather than a ballroom corridor.
Best for house-party atmosphere, character architecture, hosted celebrations.
When to look elsewhere
You need very large hotel-style bedroom inventories under one roof, or a fully urban guest journey.
