An absolute gem of a wedding venue! I came here to photograph a wedding this Summer and the grounds, the lake, the fields, the house- it all worked so well! It especially suited the outdoor wedding the couple had. Daisy was really welcoming to me too!

We were so excited to have our wedding this August at Starborough Manor. Daisy and Clive were unbelievably helpful across the past 2 years in helping us organise everything. We had some tipi's on their front lawn for 120 guests and Starborough provided the absolute perfect backdrop and setting for our wedding. Our guests absolutely loved the house, garden and moat setting, and everyone got wonderful photos outside on the lawns! The B&B is stunning, gorgeous spacious rooms with abundant space for our family and friends who stayed on site for the weekend. Highly recommend Starborough for any events/weekends away! It's an absolute dream!xx

I stayed overnight with my daughter in May 2019 - what a beautiful place. The accommodation was excellent. Our en-suite room was spotlessly clean, very spacious and came with everything we needed. …

Starborough Manor proved to be the perfect location for our annual school friends get together (7 ladies in our mid 50's!). …

I can't give 5 stars as I did not stay over and experience the B&B facilities. However, the wedding I attended was simply beautiful in a fabulous setting. The grounds are beautiful and what I did see of the room my grandparents were staying in, the rooms were so comfy. Emily is a lovely, kind lady. Thank you for hosting us.

We were lucky enough to have our wedding in here in May 2018. We had a marquee on the lawn for 150 guests and the day was perfect from start to finish. Daisy and Clive were incredibly helpful during the build up to the big day and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We’ve had so many comments from guests since about the stunning venue. Thank you!
