“Nymans can accommodate small weddings in the Italianate Loggia for 30 guests, or welcomes larger gatherings on the grounds’ secluded lawns.”

Bodiam Castle in East Sussex came in second, according to the company.

“Situated in a 14th-century moated castle, Bodiam Castle provides a fairytale backdrop for your wedding,” said the spokesperson.
