The décor is fresh and bright with a modern feel. The romance of Gretna Green is reflected in the pictures that decorate the walls and in the bar area, a custom-made massive double-sided open fire with Blacksmith beaten steel canopy features as a centrepiece.
There's outdoor dining space, too and our LOVE Conservatory which overlooks the Sculpture Garden, making a great spot to people-watch as wedding parties come and go from the Famous Blacksmiths Shop.
