The Scene at The Double Red Duke Oxfordshire

If you’re looking for a Cotswolds wedding venue brimming with charm and character, look no further than the Double Red Duke — a boutique hotel tucked away in the idyllic Oxfordshire village of Clanfield. With a 13th-century church on one side and a 17th-century tavern on the other, this charming hideaway is just a stone’s throw from the picturesque Cotswolds, where you’ll discover William Morris’s Kelmscott Manor and the quaint village of Bampton — a location that fans of Downton Abbey will undoubtedly recognise.

But it’s not just the location that will take your breath away. From the moment you step inside the Double Red Duke, you’ll be blown away by the stylish decor. The interior is a feast for the eyes, with statement wallpaper, cosy nooks, and vintage accents that transport you back in time. The dining spaces are equally as impressive. Large rooms with exposed beams are perfect for groups, while romantic little nooks and a beautiful garden room filled with lush foliage, ferns and orchids provide a more intimate setting. 

If you’re after a truly unforgettable wedding experience, why not hire the hotel and pub in its entirety? This includes all of the beautiful event spaces, as well as the snugs, outside areas, and all 19 individually-designed bedrooms. The rooms are elegant yet informal, with deep, soft mattresses, rich fabrics and textures, roll-top baths, and luxurious 100 Acre Apothecary products that will leave you feeling pampered and indulged.

The Double Red Duke Wedding Ceremonies

While The Double Red Duke itself is not licensed for ceremonies, intimate weddings can be held in the charming 13th-century church opposite the pub. Exchange vows in the church or a nearby registry before heading to the cosy Double Red Duke for an unforgettable wedding reception.
