Made for bringing people together
The Bluestone Cottage works beautifully for smaller occasions where privacy matters, but you still want room for everyone to relax, mingle and celebrate.
It can be arranged for a seated meal, a cocktail-style function or a combination of the two, depending on your guest numbers and the event you have in mind.

A cocktail-style event
Invite up to 40 guests for drinks and canapés, with space to move around and mingle. The cottage’s private bar makes it particularly well suited to birthdays, engagements and relaxed celebrations.
