Whether you’re looking for an elegant period house steeped in grandeur, or just a barefoot wedding on a spectacular private beach, Priory Bay has it all. Set on its own 70 acre estate, this wildly romantic country treat can boast a whole range of period rooms and buildings. With panoramic views across the Solent, The Priory Bay Hotel 142 www.visitilife.com boasts its own sandy beach, stunning gardens, woodland walks and first class dining. The 18 bedroomed hotel and neighbouring cottages are available for exclusive use with many couples hiring the whole estate and treating it as their own. Our Head Chef and kitchen team can create a selection of bespoke menus, using home-grown and locally sourced produce; from sumptuous canapés to a seven course banquet; a lobster/seafood barbecue to simple pig roast on the beach. Tailor made packages can be made for your special day – from a simple ceremony, followed by a champagne and canapé reception - a relaxed barbecue overlooking the sea to a lavish wedding breakfast (which serves up to 300!). And don’t forget, your guests can even arrive more directly onto the hotel’s private beach by hovercraft.
