Named after the 800 year old tree in the beautiful 10 acre gardens, Yew Lodge is steeped in history, with first references dating back to 959ad. The house as it stands now was built around 1891, with substantial enhancements carried out over the years , including a new facility built in 2010 especially designed for social celebrations.
We are an independent, family-run business, with a passion for quality and service. We are committed to the success of your special day and achieve this by working closely with you to ensure everything is how you would like it to be and the whole occasion is a great success.
A charming Country House surrounded by beautiful secret gardens, sunshine streaming through trees of the Sussex Country- side, creating your romantic setting which you will treasure forever!
There are many wonderful photographic opportunities both in the 10 acre gardens and in the main house with its original oak panelling and silk screens.
Our bespoke Sycamore Wedding Suite offers a high quality, contemporary setting, comfortably accommodating 120 seated guests (maximum 140). The suite is made up of a reception area, adjoining bar, and main dining room with direct access to the patio and gardens. For smaller weddings we can seat up to 50 guests for the wedding breakfast in the Oak Room in the Main House.
One of the great benefits of coming to Yew Lodge is that you have “exclusive use ” of all the facilities and your wedding will be the only one taking place during the day – thus you and your guests can enjoy complete privacy and can truly relax. It is an intimate venue and many people have commented favourably on the warm “house party” atmosphere as opposed to being in a more formal, corporate setting.
As well as hosting your reception, we are licenced to conduct civil ceremonies and partnerships.
For informal dining and evening receptions we can cater for up to 150 guests.
We also have 14 en-suite bedrooms, including the sumptuous bridal suite with double size bath!
