The antique upholstered love seat is a favourite feature of the barn and a popular spot for newlyweds to steal a further kiss and pose for photographs.
Complementing the character of The Rickety Barn are two further contemporary barns, the stylish Bridge Barn and the garden which offer an array of options for the post ceremony drinks reception and the wedding breakfast itself.
