Welcome

A private home for the wedding party

Chedington Grange is a country estate near Beaminster in West Dorset with two guest houses, Vielha and Baqueira, a barn and orangery for ceremonies, outdoor pergolas and room for marquees and tents.

The estate in rural West Dorset is arranged so that a wedding party can treat the houses as its own home. Guests have privacy, with the pool and spa reserved for the group, and the emphasis is on having what is wanted at the time it is wanted.
