"We got married at Tunnels Beaches in October 2023 and asides a chilly sea breeze, it was everything we hoped it would be.

                When we began searching for a venue back in 2022, we based our search on locations we hold dear to us, mountains and
                coastline. It didn't take us long to realise that Tunnels was the place for us! We booked the venue without a viewing as we
                could see it was everything we wanted for a unique, relaxed and memorable wedding day and I'm do pleased we did!

                The day itself was perfect. Everything we pictured came to life, it's just a shame the day goes so quickly.

                Our guests are still saying how stunning and different the venue was, which made their travelling efforts from Essex all
                worthwhile. Our photo's turned out beautifully, the backdrop is unbeatable and the mood and rustic vibe the venue offers
                is breathtaking.

                Food was super tasty; everyone enjoyed their meal and the staff coped amazingly well catering for all our guests needs.

                We had two of the Tunnels houses for our wedding (The Woodlands & Runnymede House) and both were stunning and
                comfortable. The decor is so unique and more, which also made for great pictures.

                Big thank you to all the Tunnels team, each and everyone of you helped us when needed and made sure our day went as
                smoothly as it could. I just wish we could do it all again!"

"We had the most perfect wedding day thanks to the amazing team at Tunnels. The venue is just breathtaking, and the team
                are so accommodating, kind and laidback - they made us and all our guests feel so comfortable. Even in the run-up to the day,
                nothing was too much bother for them and everyone on the team was so helpful and gave us so many fab ideas for the day.

                So many of our guests have said it's undoubtedly the best wedding venue they've ever been to, and we agree! Thank you for
                making it the best day we could ever have hoped for, we're very grateful!"

                commented how beautiful the venue is and how relaxed our day was.

                We were so lucky with the weather and the food was delicious. There’s nothing that the team didn’t help with on the day and

"Just want to say a huge thank you for all you did for our wedding on Tuesday Oct 3rd. Our wedding day could not have been
                better. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful. It was better than we had even imagined.

                Staff went above and beyond. The bar staff in the evening were exceptional. The Managers Naomi (day) & Sam (eve) were
                outstanding and couldn't do enough - they are a credit to Tunnels, so just want to say a big thank you."

"After deciding we wanted a venue by the sea we were so excited to find Tunnels, and on our first viewing we booked right
                away after falling in love with the place. After two years of planning our day it was everything we wanted and more – we had
                major wedding blues leaving this gorgeous venue.

                Jamie and the team where great from the get-go with constant email confirmation and nothing was an inconvenience, they
                were only too happy to make our vision a reality, even having our beloved dog at the service. All the staff were incredible
                and made us feel at ease. The morning of the wedding the wedding manager took all our items and made sure what we had
                envisioned was carried out to a T.

                The accommodation was great and was so lovely to have a nearest and dearest getting ready with us on our special day.

                Walking down the tunnels towards my future husband is a feeling I will never forget, everything went so smoothly, no hiccups
                at all. We even got to have our first dance outside surrounded by all our family with sparklers.

                Our wedding day will be a memory we will cherish, we can’t thank Tunnels enough, we can’t wait to visit on our anniversary."

"We are so delighted that we picked Tunnels Beaches for our wedding venue. As soon as we viewed it just after getting
                engaged, we knew it was the place for us - we fell in love with the building and dramatic, stunning coastal scenery. Since
                booking, the journey has been seamless. We visited several times and had numerous email exchanges with the team in the
                two years leading up to the big event.

                Our wedding day (15th September 2023) was spectacular. The weather was perfect, the venue looked amazing, the food was
                delicious and plentiful, and there were so many special moments, which we have enjoyed going back over in our professional
                photographs. We need to give a special mention to Jamie and the team (including Catherine and Sam) - they were warm,
                welcoming, responsive and nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything went to plan, other than we ran an hour late in the
                evening (our fault!) and team were very agile in helping us get back on track. So many of our guests were blown away by the
                venue and food, and people are still talking about it weeks later.

                We can't thank you enough, and look forward to coming back for anniversaries."

"Firstly, we want to thank all your wonderful staff for all their hard work. Every single person we spoke to on the day made us
                feel at ease. It was brilliant to put on such a big occasion but feel so relaxed, and that really was down to all the people onsite.

                The preparation towards the wedding was also excellent, with all questions being answered in depth and we never felt like we
                couldn't reach out with other thoughts! The fact that we were able to make small changes to the drinks package meant the
                world to us.

                The day after the wedding, we were grateful that our stuff had been moved to the room nearer the accommodation, it made
                the get out a lot smoother.

                The accommodation was excellent! It truly felt like a home away from home, but big enough to have all our friends and family
                get to know one another. The welcome baskets were a lovely touch - thank you so much for the wine!

                We really loved the fact that we could dance outside, and that the sound system allowed us to feel like the DJ was outside with
                us, I can't imagine many other places have this facility! It was honestly like a scene from a movie dancing in the moonlight,
                next to the sea and with the firepit!

                Again, we can't thank you all enough for helping us create the most perfect wedding day, we will certainly be back!"

"Will & I just wanted to say thank you so much to the incredible Tunnels Beaches team. We couldn't have asked for a more
                perfect day! From the moment we booked the venue, right the way through to when we checked out the morning after the
                wedding, the Tunnels team including all the office staff, the venue staff, accommodation cleaners etc, were incredible.
                I live fairly local so had visited the venue a few times and nothing was ever too much to ask, even with all my last minute
                questions and requests!

                The morning of the wedding the venue host came to the accommodation and talked me through everything and answered all
                my nervous questions! She made me feel very relaxed and everything went incredibly smoothly. They closed off the tunnels
                to the public for when you walk down towards the aisle and it was just the most incredible feeling.

                The rest of the day also went very smooth, the venue staff just had everything under control and nothing got delayed. Even the
                change over of staff from day to night was super easy and the venue itself is just the most stunning place, even at night! I was
                lucky enough to have dry weather but even in the rain (or storms which is when we first saw the venue and booked), it is just
                the most incredible, special, unique place. Most of our guests came from Ireland, Northern England and Scotland and couldn't
                get over how beautiful it was. And we can't forget about the BEAUTIFUL food!

                It's a day we will cherish forever, and I'm so glad we live local so we can come back and visit our new favourite place over the
                years to come..."

"To all of the team at Tunnels Beaches, Thank you all so much for helping us bring our perfect wedding day to life. We booked
                it 2 years ago so to see our visions and planning come together was heartwarming. From the beginning, the communication has
                been great - answering questions promptly both over the phone and by email, accommodating our requirements and being on
                hand to help coordinate and facilitate our dream day! You helped to make us feel at ease and ensure that everything ran
                smoothly without any hiccups.

                The venue is absolutely breathtaking and we were so dam lucky with such beautiful weather. The food was delicious and everyone
                was raving about that yummy Mango & Cashew Nut Salad!

                Being able to slip away after the party to stay in the onsite accommodation was great and made the end of our day hassle free
                and easy. Ilfracombe didn't mean much to us before our wedding day but both Ilfracombe and especially Tunnels will now have
                a special place in our hearts forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

                memorable. Communication from the beginning of the process, during our wedding day and after were outstanding with
                many thanks to Naomi who co ordinated the day. She was very organised, helped us feel comfortable and was patient with
                us despite having the wedding from inside to outside because of the rain!

                All staff at Tunnels Beaches were very accommodating which made us feel even more special.

                I would definitely recommend this wedding venue for anyone thinking about it! We are forever grateful for all the support
                and for making our wedding day so special. We will most definitely be returning for our future anniversaries!..."

"We just wanted to say thank you so much to the whole team for an amazing wedding. We had the most magical and special
                day that even Storm Antoni couldn’t put a stop to! Having the ceremony outside was our dream and it happened. We certainly
                think it’s a ceremony that people won’t forget!

                The lead up to the day was not stressful at all and you answered all our questions patiently and quickly. The whole day ran
                so smoothly and the Tunnels team worked brilliantly with our other suppliers, which we knew they would; thank you for all
                the recommendations.

                Thank you also for the amazing food and fantastic party; our guests have said it’s one of the best weddings they’ve ever
                been to. Everyone had a brilliant time and our first dance at sunset was something to remember forever.

                We look forward to visiting you again and maybe having another party in the future!..."

"We just wanted to email to say a HUGE thank you for absolutely everything you’ve done for us over the past 2 years!

                From the moment we booked with you all, you’ve been nothing but helpful! From answering the endless emails and questions
                we’ve had to helping us set up on the big day! It’s been a pleasure and we honestly think you have THE most beautiful wedding
                venue ever. We still dream about our day now and it really couldn’t have gone any better! Rain or shine! We are so lucky and
                grateful that you’re all so organised with back up plans etc. and we’re just so lucky we got to go with plan A! People couldn’t
                stop complimenting our venue and saying how stunning it is.

                Being able to have 3 of the houses was brilliant and really helped make the experience so much more incredible. Being surrounded
                by our family/friends the night before really helped calmed our nerves and helped us to have a nice pre-wedding mingle of
                everyone together! 

                Tunnels really is incredible, not only because of the stunning scenery and views but also because of the staff. The team we had
                on our day were 10/10. They couldn’t have been more accommodating, friendly and helpful! They always made sure our glasses
                were full and that we were eating. They were happy during the day/night and Nay/Sam were brilliant! They knew the venue/day
                like the back of their hands and were reassuring and helpful throughout. No task was too much for them and for that we’re truly
                grateful! We felt in good hands throughout and feel so lucky to have had such a great experience.

                We hope to come and enjoy one of your summer evenings in the future again as Mr & Mrs Duffield!"

"Dear all the wonderful staff and owners at Tunnels Beaches,

                Our wedding with you was just over a week ago and what feels like a dream is now actually beginning to sink in and we wanted
                to share our sincere thanks. From the minute we arrived to stop in The Bath House and The Courtyard we were greeted with
                a warm welcome and truly beautiful accommodation, with lovely little touches such as prosecco and chocolate, that we were
                very grateful of. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed stopping in the accommodation and EVERYBODY was so complementary about
                what a wonderful place to stay it was.

                I was a little nervous about getting the venue set up and things all going as we had imagined throughout the day but all of your
                lovely staff were absolutely brilliant in not only reassuring us but getting everything done exactly how we had always imagined,
                keeping us informed of what was happening throughout the day and liaising with our suppliers behind the scenes to ensure
                things ran very smoothly.

                Many of our guests commented on the day and have done since on how brilliant the venue was but specifically how lovely and
                helpful all the staff were. It was definitely those kind touches we will remember from our day at a very special place, such as
                a lovely young girl telling us she had saved us some scones in case we didn’t get any and going out her way to get glasses of
                Pimm’s to us amongst all our guests! Naomi kindly carried my plate to the table so I could get my dress up the stairs! A very
                kind young man went out his way to organise a taxi and then walk my Auntie and Nan to the top of the Tunnels to be able to
                bring the wheelchair back down (which again was very kindly and usefully provided by you to help make my Nan’s day so much
                easier). During the final songs on the dancefloor a barman held the camera up for a whole song and videoed one of the magical
                moments of the day. To organise the sparklers, s’more station, cake cutting, first dance and all the other logistical parts of
                the day so smoothly for us and our guests to enjoy was very much appreciated. Not only that, but we woke up as a newly
                married couple thinking we had to clear and tidy the venue to find everything was organised into the storage room ready to be
                packed straight into cars, we were absolutely over the moon and sincerely grateful.

                Finally we have to pay a huge compliment to the chef for the food, it really was outstanding! ALL of our guests told us how
                amazing it was with lots saying it was ‘the best wedding dinner they have ever had’. And if that is not enough, my uncle:
                a Michelin star chef went down to the kitchen to specifically thank your chef on such a wonderful range of food as he was
                very impressed.

                I am sure a lot of what we have described above, you do day in day out and may see it as part of the job, but to us the polite
                and friendly approach from all of your staff and everything they did for us really was above and beyond to make the day so
                much more enjoyable and memorable at the most wonderful place.

                Please do thank every member of your team for making it the day we had always hoped for and more."

"We had the most wonderful wedding at Tunnels Beaches 12/07/2023!

                From start to finish we were completely overwhelmed with the beautiful day we had. We had waited almost 15 years for our
                special day & my gosh did Tunnels Beaches deliver in every way! The venue, the staff, the accommodation, the food, everything
                was awesome.

                The best thing about getting married at here, is how smooth the staff try to make every moment, nothing is forced, it's a very
                relaxed vibe throughout your day, things just seem to flow, but in order for you to feel this way behind the scenes the staff are
                like clockwork - they really know what they are doing in order to give you everything you would want your day to be!

                We were extremely lucky as we have had so much rain in July this year, but it held off and we had glorious weather considering
                the original forecast and even though the wind was up, this allowed us to get some amazing pictures with my veil. The joy with
                the Tunnels Beaches is they can accommodate last minute to suit weather conditions for your ceremony, we changed our mind
                last minute with our florist and changed our flower arches, instead of having it all outside we had both corners outside on the
                gazebo and a full beautiful arch indoors, so glad we did as it was the best of both, allowed beautiful pictures inside & out!

                Thank you so much to all the staff for making our long awaited day and stay just perfect!"

"We wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding thanks to Tunnels Beaches, it was absolutely perfect!...

                The communication from the team leading up to the wedding was so efficient, emails were responded to within a couple of hours
                and it meant that the build up was totally stress free for us. Naomi in particular was absolutely brilliant when we arrived at the
                accommodation the afternoon before our wedding, and on our wedding day.

                We booked 3 of the houses to stay in the night before and the night of the wedding and all of our guests commented on how
                amazing the accommodation was. We had a BBQ the evening before the wedding and it was lovely to be able to spend more
                than one day with our guests. The accommodation was spotless, had all of the facilities we needed and I will always remember
                The Bath House so fondly when I think of my wedding morning.

                The venue itself - WOW! So many of our guests have said it’s the best venue they have ever been to and I totally agree. If you
                are after a generally fuss free wedding like we were then I would not hesitate to recommend Tunnels - the scenery speaks for
                itself and the venue is already fully equipped and decorated for weddings meaning that you really don’t need to add much
                (if anything!) It’s the perfect venue for a relaxed, beach wedding which is exactly what we wanted.

                We are big foody people and the BBQ was absolutely delicious. Again, the guests gave excellent feedback and I’m certain that
                nobody went hungry! The Chef also saved us a board of canapés which was such a lovely touch and something I haven’t seen
                done at other weddings, so thank you!

                We just want to say a massive thank you - we were sure that we wouldn’t regret booking Tunnels Beaches for our wedding but
                the staff, venue and suppliers exceeded all of our expectations. We can’t wait to come back soon to celebrate our anniversaries."

"We hired both The Bath House and The Courtyard and loved the fact we could have most of our guests around us the night
                before and the morning of the wedding. The rooms are lovely and clean and well equipped and all our guests commented on
                how lovely the place was.

                Coming from Yorkshire we were aware how long the travel was for our guests but by the end of our wedding they knew why
                we had picked Tunnels as our venue. We had so many comments throughout the day on what a spectacular place Tunnels
                is and we couldn't agree more.

                The set up and organisation was so stress free for me. Tunnels had it all under control. We organised a call with Naomi the
                week before just to run through how everything would work. We were so glad we did just to have that understanding really
                helped settle our nerves.

                The ceremony went by in a flash, music handled expertly and the drinks were served quickly to all our guest. The bar staff
                and waiting staff were excellent. The food was absolutely to die for, plenty of it that a lot of guests could go back for more.
                The chefs and kitchen staff did such a great job.

                Having our speeches in front of such a beautiful view was so special. We had the glass doors open fully until later on in the
                night as the weather was so beautiful.

                We had the most beautiful sunset and enjoyed our first dance outside. We love that the music can be played all around the
                venue so that the transition from outside to inside is seamless.

                We cannot thank Jamie and all the staff at Tunnels enough for making our wedding the most perfect day!"

"Thank you so much to the whole team at Tunnels Beaches for making our wedding day and the wider weekend so special for us.
                The communications were excellent from start to finish, and we knew this was the wedding venue for us as soon as we got to
                see it in person (after watching the excellent youtube walk-through video Jamie made!).

                The venue is like no other in the UK, and so many of our guests have commented on how beautiful, unique and memorable
                the setting is. The state-of-the-art wedding accommodation available 20 seconds away from the venue is a massive bonus,
                and our family/close friends loved the convenience of it.

                Particular highlights of the wedding included still having our ceremony outside as we wanted (despite the rain - the staff were
                so helpful in keeping everyone as dry as possible), the fun bar staff in the evening and keeping the music playing til 2am,
                the food (all incredible, decent quantities and range of dietary choices), s'mores by fire pit, and the organisation of the staff
                on the day itself (including venue set-up).

                Thank you for answering all our many, many questions so promptly (often on Sundays!) and making the weekend go so smoothly
                for us - helped to keep us very calm and relaxed and know everything was in order, to help us enjoy the fun stuff instead!
                We loved our pre-wedding morning swim and thank you for letting our guests use the beach that morning. We know how busy
                the team must be with back-to-back weddings and the response time was pretty incredible.

                We cannot wait to come back and visit already, perhaps on our wedding anniversary for a special meal!

                Would highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for a more relaxed, laid-back beachy vibe (which still has a good 'rain plan'
                if needed) with excellent food and drink."

"The Tunnels was the easiest and best decision of our entire wedding. We couldn’t recommend the venue more highly.
                I think once you’ve seen it, you’ve got no option but to book it! The entire team were brilliant from start to finish.
                They answered my many emails before the day and I felt very comfortable leaving them in charge of the schedule on
                the day itself. We managed to have our service outside, I love that you can decide so last minute depending on the weather.

                The food was incredible, our wedding photographer actually said it was the best wedding food he’d ever had! The morning
                after we went down to clear up and all of the work had already been done, which was such a huge help.

                The houses on site are beautiful and so convenient. I don’t have anything even vaguely negative to say!! Thank you all so
                so much for everything, we can’t wait to return!..."
                Many thanks, Becky & Tim Hawkins x

                "We got engaged in February 2022 and hadn't intended on getting married in the same year! Beth was from Northumberland
                originally and moved down to the South West fairly recently, however somehow found Tunnels Beaches a long time ago,
                so it seemed only right that we checked the venue out. Once we saw the tunnel entrance and when we emerged from the
                tunnel to see the beautiful venue (there was a lot of sea fog that day!) we both just knew it was the place for us. There is
                something about the sea that makes us feel calm and content, and we never actually looked at any other wedding venues.

                We chose the Elopement Package because we knew we didn't want a big day. It was the perfect length of time and allowed
                us to have all our close family. We had a two night stay in The Bath House which was perfect for our families coming together
                who had never met before! Thankfully everyone got along!! All our guests absolutely loved the house, the children played hide
                and seek and we had games in the long dining area. The living room was large enough for all the adults to socialise, and the
                kitchen was well equipped.

                Our day went like a breeze, it was chilled out, exactly as we had hoped. All the staff were extremely helpful, from setting up
                the tables to using my phone to play all the music throughout the day, and finally packing everything away for us at the end
                of the night.

                We kept the wedding venue a secret from our guests so they couldn't google it before arriving. So when they came out of the
                tunnel and saw the view, they were all blown away and everyone said it's the best venue they've ever been to. All our guests
                thoroughly enjoyed the three course meal and commented on how delicious everything was.

                We couldn't have asked for a better day, the weather was beautiful and actually still warm! Our photographer was amazing
                at capturing all the incredible angles of the coastline, and we loved going down onto the beach.

                We can't wait to come back and reminisce!..."
                Best wishes, Beth & Dave

                "It was a dream come true to have our special day at such a beautiful and unique location but what made it even more special
                was the Tunnels team, in particular Jacs and Naomi, for ensuring that the day went as smooth and as perfect as it could.

                The pictures of the venue and its surroundings speak for themselves and the view certainly does not disappoint on the day
                but what they don't show is how calm, efficient, helpful and lovely the staff are. We couldn't have asked for more, the food
                was delicious, the service was amazing and the venue and accommodation were breath-taking, we didn't want the day/night
                to end. Can't wait to visit again soon!...

                A massive thanks to the whole team for such a perfect day!"

                "Now things have settled after the wedding and normal life has resumed, we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for hosting
                our Wedding at Tunnels Beaches. It really is just the most incredible venue, so much so that people who didn't attend our wedding,
                couldn't believe we weren't abroad.

                The team were fab from start to finish. You are all so amazingly chilled and experienced, it really puts your mind at rest. Any
                questions we did have were answered immediately.

                I'm sorry we can't remember the 2 ladies names who helped make sure everything went smoothly on the day, (lots going on!)
                but special shout out to them. Both were fab.

                The food is next level, we thought it would be good but it exceeded expectations.

                The accommodation is just perfect for large groups of family and friends. Having an ensuite in each bedroom makes all the
                difference and the communal areas are so large, you don't feel at all like you are on top of each other. The lasagne on the
                Friday night before the wedding was delicious!

                I would recommend this venue to anyone."

                "We just want to say a massive thank you for everything, to yourself and all your staff. You have such an amazing venue
                and have thought about every little detail to make it the perfect wedding venue. The moment we walked round the corner
                from the Tunnel and saw the venue, we knew it was the one - we didn't need to visit anywhere else, it's truly unique.

                The booking process, communication leading up to our wedding day was all so stress free.

                It was so amazing have the luxury of staying in the three beautiful houses the night before. It gave our family and friends
                a chance to meet and get to know each other before the big day. The Paella went down a treat!

                The wedding morning everything was super stress free, nothing was too much of a problem. For a control freak like me,
                I could relax and know that everything was in safe hands of your wonderful staff. While the girls were getting ready in
                The Bath House, the boys went on a 5k run followed by a dip in the tidal pool.

                The food was amazing as we expected! Everyone has been raving about the Cornish pasties!! I think the best man won
                having eaten 5!!

                We will definitely be coming back next year! We love Devon so much."

                "Where do we start… Me and Jamie got engaged in July 2020, neither of us knew much about wedding but we were 100%
                sure we wanted a beach wedding.

                We had trolled the internet for wedding venues and we was lucky enough to have come across Tunnels Beaches, the wedding
                venue we fell in love with from the word go.

                We booked to the view Tunnels Beaches in September, two months after being engaged. The moment we stepped foot into
                Tunnels Beaches our breath was taken away and we knew this was where we wanted to get married.

                Our wedding was on Wednesday 7th September 2022, we stayed with all of our wedding guests in the on-site accommodation
                (The Courtyard, The Bath House and The Woodlands). This was booked Tuesday-Friday. We would recommend this to everyone.
                The accommodation was stunning, it was lovely and modern and super clean too. It also gave us the chance to spend time with
                our family and friends before and after the wedding and the fact we travelled 5 hours from home no one had to worry about
                getting a taxi. You could simply walk/stumble through the tunnel back to the accommodation.

                The wedding day itself was like a fairytale come true. There was meant to be thunder and lightning all day but there was almost
                no cloud in the sky! We cannot thank the staff anymore for making the day run so smoothly from the lead up, to walking down
                the aisle and the evening partying. So many of our guess have mentioned how lovely you all are and I can’t agree more, you have
                all been absolutely amazing from the lead up to the wedding until the day we left.

                A massive hats off to the Chefs aswell - the food was to die for and weren't shy on the portion sizes either. Although I didn’t try
                one of the pasties because I was way too full from dinner, so many of the guests commented on how amazing they were.

                You have all helped to make our wedding day so very special and for that we cannot thank you enough and will forever sing your
                praises. We will definitely be back in the future to celebrate our anniversaries.

                Looking forward to visiting again in the future..."

                "Tunnels Beaches is 100% the most amazing venue in the UK. The views, food and staff are all incredible.

                We booked without viewing (due to not being able to travel during the pandemic) in 2020. The team were great with sending
                us photos, video tours and answering all our questions. And when we finally were able to visit, the venue did not disappoint!
                We also booked all of our suppliers from their recommended list and were super happy with all of them.

                On the day, everything went so smoothly, even the bits I was worried about, like setting up the tables and controlling the music.
                It's seamless and you don't need to worry about a thing. The food was AMAZING (we're still getting compliments now) and there
                was plenty of it. And obviously, the venue itself and the beautiful views are incomparable.

                We also booked ' The Woodlands' accommodation which is fantastic - modern, roomy and super close by! It was so nice to have
                all of our family under one roof. And the kitchen delivered our dinner the evening before (green Thai chicken curry - delish)
                which was really convenient and meant we could just relax.
 
                Massive thanks to the whole team, in the lead-up and on the day of the wedding. Everyone was super helpful and always smiling
                - we couldn't ask for better service!

                All of our guests have said that it was an amazing day, in such a beautiful part of the country. We couldn't be happier and would
                definitely recommend. So if you're on the fence, book it!"

                "First and foremost can we say a massive thank you for having such a unique wedding venue. We are so lucky to have this on
                our doorstep.

                Our accommodation was 'Runnymede House'. It was lovely to have such a stunning place to get ready in. The accommodation
                is decorated beautifully and we wish our house looked like this - such a fantastic style!!

                The staff were fantastic from the moment we booked to the day. They answered every question and believe us we had many!
                They were so good on the day, you didn’t need to worry at all as everything was taken care for by the lovely staff. Nothing was
                too much and there was almost too much food to eat! They were very generous at Tunnels and the food was AMAZING! Such
                lovely fresh food to everyones taste.

                This wedding venue totally matched our vibe and was all we had dreamed for our special day. We were lucky with the weather
                - not too hot but a lovely breeze and plenty of sunshine. It wouldn’t have matter as the venue is stunning enough without it.
                Would not have changed a thing about our day, just wish we could do it again! We had quite the dream team on the day
                choosing local people from our fab photographer to the what must be ‘resident’ DJ Paul - who knew the venue well and made
                it just as special.

                A huge thank you - we’ll definitely be back to visit!"

                Jamie and I fell in love at the seaside so to get married by the sea was high on our wish list. When we found your venue we
                were blown away, we knew we’d found somewhere special.

                The accommodation is stunning with every detail thought of. Plus a fantastic base to start and continue the celebrations.
                Our guests absolutely loved the Paella the night before.

                The staff were so welcoming and accommodating with such attention to detail. We never felt like one of the many weddings

                view and the sounds of waves crashing during the ceremony would have been more than enough but the fact we could
                actually go down to the beach and go in the sea after made our day more special!

                All our guest absolutely loved the food - we had so much choice and there was so much that everyone had seconds and some
                had thirds. The staff were all amazing and couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating.

                Honestly couldn't have asked for anything else on our special day, we will be going back when we get the chance! Such a special
                place! Thank you we will most definitely be back!!..."

                "3 months on and we are still in awe of our own wedding day. I would like to thank all of the staff at Tunnels for all of their
                help, leading up to the day and on the day itself. They are all so lovely and honestly make you feel like friends.

                Our guests still can't believe how perfect the day was. We were lucky enough to have great weather but this venue doesn't
                need it. Even on a rainy day the view from upstairs is beautiful. So much so that we booked the venue when we viewed
                it on a stormy day.

                I was a little worried about not being able to sample the food before hand, but honestly the food is out of this world, everyone
                is still talking about it! The venue and the day went above and beyond our expectations!

                The accommodation is absolutely amazing, perfect for all of the guests to stay the night before and have a meal. We chose
                Paella and also booked a Spanish guitarist. It felt like we were transported to a different country.

                I would highly reccommend this venue to everyone, they really know what they are doing. We loved every second. We will
                definitely be coming back for an anniversary in the future..."

                "It was certainly worth the wait! We were originally booked in for August 2020 and from the second we first looked around the
                venue with Jamie (back in August 2018!), through Covid postponements and finally the actual day, there is nothing we can fault
                about Tunnels! They were so easily contactable and nothing was too much trouble. We had booked three houses for our wedding
                - The Bath House, The Courtyard and The Woodlands - and are so glad that we did. It really made our entire wedding feel like
                a holiday as well. The houses are all beautifully decorated and equipped with fantastic communal spaces.

                The actual day was beyond perfect (along with the weather!). Our co-ordinator Naomi was phenomenal at ensuring the day
                ran without a hitch. I was slightly overambitious with my musical acts (acoustic singer, jazz trio, band AND DJ) but they were
                table to seamlessly solve what could have been a set up disaster by suggesting the band played downstairs with us dancing
                away on the outside terrace before moving upstairs for the DJ and the ‘millennial’ party. It worked like it had been planned
                down to the T all along so a huge thank you for orchestrating (and the catering team for moving where our evening food was
                fset up). Which brings me on to the food - it really was the best wedding food I’ve ever had and I’m only sad that I physically
                had no room for seconds. Our guests with dietary requirements also commented on how impressed they were at the clear
                labelling of all of the food, making them feel extremely comfortable and confident that they were catered for. We opted for
                the 'Giant Nachos' in the evening which went down a storm. We were quite specific with what drinks and wine we wanted
                (Chablis and Provence Rose) and Tunnels created a bespoke package for us with the best pricing, rather than trying to fit
                us into a specified package and then charging lots for changes.

                We had so many comments about what an incredible venue it was and everyone was blown away by the setting. I wish we could do
                it all again but thank you so much to everyone at Tunnels Beaches for making it so incredible."

                "After thinking we wanted to get married abroad but deciding we wanted all our loved ones to be able to make it, Tunnels Beaches
                was the answer... Amazing views, amazing venue, amazing accommodation and the opportunity to make it a weekend celebration,
                amazing food (people are still talking to us about the food weeks later. It was SO good!)

                The staff were all amazing and helped the day go to plan so well. We had a bit of rain but still managed to have our ceremony
                outside and it was just beautiful.

                After a Covid postponement and a new baby thrown in to the mix, wedding planning took a bit of a twisted turn for us, but we
                had the magical day and weekend we dreamed of when we first viewed Tunnels, with all our loved ones around us.

                Everything was perfect. Thank you so much."

                Even though we had a small wedding, we still felt very special and all of our guests commented on how lovely your staff
                members were. Especially Simon who was so reassuring and pleasant throughout our day.

                The private beach is perfect for pictures, even a little dip in the summer heat which was one of the highlights for us as
                all the men ran into the ocean for fun!

"We wanted to say a huge thank you for everything!! You were so accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding
                twice because of covid and when our day finally came, the team made everything absolutely perfect.

                Everything was so well organised and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The food was delicious and our guests told us
                so as well. Jacs was so lovely and provided helpful suggestions throughout, all of which worked out so well.

                Our guests all got back to their hotels safely thanks to the amazing driver.

                Thanks for making our wedding day everything we ever wanted. We will be back to visit Tunnels for many years to come..."

"Just wow!! I don’t think we will ever get over this day. There's just something about Tunnels that made our day so magical.
                Being in such a beautiful location with all of our friends and family was a dream come true.

                After visiting the Tunnels as a little girl, peering at a wedding through the then bamboo fence, I knew it was the place I wanted
                to get married. As soon as we were engaged, I remembered my visit to Tunnels from all those years ago. I remember one of
                the first conversations we had after the engagement was me saying ‘I know exactly where we are getting married’. My now
                husband was slightly on the fence because all he had seen is photos (as if that wasn’t enough) but once we had come to Tunnels
                and met with Jamie he was just as in love with the venue as I was.

                I can't describe the feeling I had when walking down the tunnels in my wedding dress with my mum and bridesmaids behind me,
                it was something I will never ever forget.

                The team at Tunnels, the food and of course the venue itself were absolutely incredible. We owe so much to the Tunnels team
                for allowing our special day to run so smoothly. We are so grateful for everything they did for us, they were brilliant from start
                to finish.

                I cannot wait to come back to the Tunnels for years to come..."

"From the moment we stepped through the door on our very first viewing, to visiting the venue two days after our wedding,
                the staff at the Tunnels were incredible. Organising a wedding from Australia was a daunting task, but Jamie and the team
                made it a relaxing experience.

                Our day went better than we could have ever wished for and it truly was the best day of our lives, the venue is an absolute
                dream. The food was exceptional, the add on's made planning a breeze and the recommended vendors worked out so well.

                "We were lucky enough to get 4 days of sunshine, so our wedding lasted the full 4 days, with evening meals in The Courtyard,
                a lazy beach day and a seal bobbing it's head up in the lagoon to say hello.

                No other venue can compare once you walk through the tunnels."

"Where do we start…What an incredible wedding we had and we just didn’t want it to end. Everything about the venue,
                the staff, food, drink & organisation was out of this world.

                We stayed with most of our wedding guests at "The woodlands" accommodation the night before and the night of the
                wedding. We would recommend this to anyone as it was really special to be able to spend more time celebrating with all our
                guests. The house was amazing and so convenient for everyone to get to the venue without having to travel, we simply
                walked through the amazing tunnel and we were there.

                The wedding day itself just felt like a dream and we struck gold with the weather. We always dreamed of an intimate abroad
                wedding but due to family not being able to travel far we decided to still go with a costal wedding at "Tunnels Beaches".
                Well, we wouldn’t of know the difference. Everyone felt like they where abroad, the sun was shining, the sound of the waves
                and refreshing Aperol Spritz…what more could you ask for.

                "Tunnels Beaches" really do have a dream team and honestly our day wouldn’t of been the same without them. Simon especially
                who was in charge of how the day was run, his calm yet efficient approach to things was perfect. Simon was also very thoughtful
                when it came to making sure our two children where kept happy at the wedding and went out of his way to make it his job that
                they enjoyed themselves so that we could have a stress free day.

                The list of positive’s is endless and we could just carry on singing their praises. We will be sure to revisit for future anniversaries
                and family holidays as it will always be a place that’s very special in our hearts."

                in The Courtyard and The Bath House for the wedding weekend and we couldn’t fault that either. Amazing houses, perfect for

"What a venue!! What a day!! We honestly cannot thank the staff at Tunnels Beaches enough for everything they did for us.
                After two postponements (thanks to covid) our wedding day really was everything we had dreamed of and more.

                The staff were so friendly, efficient and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was absolutely incredible. One month on we are
                still hearing about how fabulous the dishes were - in particular the 'Butternut Dauphinois & Goats Cheese Tart'. We have had
                so many wonderful compliments from our guests.

                If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. Thanks again to all at Tunnels for giving us the perfect day."

"Thank you thank you thank you for everything, you guys really do ensure the entire day is relaxed, fantastic, and seamless.
                Everyone at Tunnels was lovely and friendly, Naomi and Simon were perfect (and very attentive in topping up our drinks!),
                we really felt like we could sit back and enjoy our day. Even on the run up to the wedding all our last minute questions and
                changes were answered and sorted in a flash.

                Our guests were stunned by the beauty of the venue, it’s the perfect balance of relaxed-beach vibes to a chic wedding. We
                were even slightly shocked that the weather was so great considering the non-stop rain we had the night before! It was idyllic
                and made for some great photos.

                Rich and I, being foodies, were so excited about the BBQ and it did not disappoint! The fish was so fresh and cooked to perfection,
                the burgers were a great size to minimise dropping food down you (or is that just me?) and all the veggie, vegan and GF options
                were delicious. We went for the 'Raspberry Panna Cotta' for dessert - I NEED that recipe!

                We hope we’ve inspired some of our friends to get married at Tunnels Beaches just so we can come back and enjoy it again,
                but if not, we’ll be back to visit anyway... :)"

"We loved our wedding at Tunnels Beaches. We visited a few venues before making the trip down to Devon to see Tunnels.
                The moment we stepped out into the cove and saw the venue nestled in the cliffs I knew this was where we would get married.
                We made a provisional booking later that day!

                The build up to the big day was all straightforward. The team were always quick to respond to queries and were flexible on
                the menu to suit our dietary requirements.

                Staying in the houses was such a big part of the experience. They are beautifully decorated and were a great base for our
                families to get together. Everyone loved the night before meal (Thai Curry) and a chance to have a 'few' drinks.

                The whole wedding day was seamless. Naiomi and the rest of the team were like a well-oiled machine. Their communication
                was excellent. It felt like the team were in complete control which left Kim and I to enjoy the party without a second thought.

                I'm struggling to find any fault. The venue speaks for itself, the food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the team were
                flawless. We've already relived the day so many times through the photos and videos. It was a truly special day made possible
                by Tunnels Beaches."

"From stumbling across the venue in 2018, we just knew this would be the perfect place to a) get engaged and b) hold our dream
                wedding at and we were not disappointed.

                We were due to be married in 2020 but had to postpone on two occasions. Throughout all of the pandemic troubles, the Tunnels
                team were very supportive, flexible and made us feel very relaxed.

                We had both the Bath House and The Courtyard and both houses provided such an incredible space for our guests which really
                intertwined both sides of the families to enjoy the whole weekend.

                On our wedding day, the staff were absolutely amazing. The entire day ran so smoothly, everything was perfect! The venue is
                absolutely breath-taking. The food was incredible and Tunnels catered perfectly for such a wide range of dietary requirements.
                The guests absolutely loved it. We wish we could do it all over again and will never forget the special memories we made.

                Everything was all that we dreamt of and more. We cannot thank you all enough for all the support and help in making our day
                so unforgettable."

"We want to say a huge thank you to Tunnels Beaches for making our wedding day more amazing than we could ever have
                hoped for. All of the staff were incredible with a special shout out to Naomi who took all of the stress away and helped make
                sure every last detail was perfect.

                We brought our friends and family down to ilfracombe from all over the country (and abroad!) and they were all thrilled that
                we did. We hired the amazing Courtyard and Bath House properties, which gave us the ideal base to build up to the big day
                and then prolong the celebrations with a BBQ on Sunday.

                But as great as the whole weekend was, the wedding itself was the absolute highlight. Our guests were glowing about what
                an incredible venue we’d chosen, the food was amazing - from the canapés and ice cream to the Gourmet BBQ and evening
                Tapas - and we both had the most special and happiest day of our lives!

                Again, a massive thank you to everyone at Tunnels, we can’t wait to come back for a visit next time we’re in town!"

"What can we say, our wedding at Tunnels Beaches was incredible (and long awaited)! We went to visit back in 2019 for our
                2020 wedding (although I don’t think we’d even need to visit to know the stunning location is where we wanted to get married!)

                Everyone we spoke to was friendly, enthusiastic and really helpful. We had to postpone twice due to Covid and despite the
                stress involved the team made it as easy as possible and we can’t thank them enough for the support. It was also great to have
                guidance on choosing our suppliers, everyone we booked came recommended including Mark - Evolve Photography, Natasha -
                Pumpkin & Pye Flowers, Tristan Adams Videography, Ellie - The Up Do Girl (hair), Paul - The Wedding Spinner (DJ) and Nicola
                Redman (makeup). Having trusted people to book made the process so much easier and we couldn’t have been happier with
                everyone we booked.

                Everyone who came to our wedding (which finally happened in 2022) commented on the stunning location and incredible food!
                The canapés, BBQ and evening food was all delicious. Definitely the best wedding food we’ve ever had (and so many others said
                the same too!) We also had an evening meal of paella in The Woodlands accommodation the night before our wedding, again
                couldn’t fault it! We had the most amazing day from start to finish and wish we could do it again."

                The rain dispersed and sun came out just in time and we had what we describe as a perfect day. I shoot a lot of weddings as
                a wedding photographer and have to say your organisation and attention to detail blew me away. We didnt even notice the

 "What a fantastic day! Tunnels Beaches as a venue is simply incredible and impeccable, the venue itself has such a warm
                and relaxed atmosphere and it was effortlessly fun to be there. The views are stunning, we started out with a cloudy day that
                brought drama to the skyline but then the blue skies and sunshine appeared and it ended with a gorgeous sunset.

                The staff were just brilliant... flexible, helpful, welcoming and kept the entire day running super smooth. I would also like to
                point out that our wedding was postponed 3 times because of the pandemic and Jamie and his team were nothing but supportive
                and reassuring, they were there for us for better and for worse! 2 years later, we finally had our day and it was worth the wait!

                The food was delicious, not the typical 3 course meal you often get at weddings but an array of fish, meat and salads, every
                single guest I spoke to raved about how tasty the food was and how much food there was, it took everyone by surprise to get
                that standard and quality at a wedding.

                The entire day was exactly how I hoped it would be. Tunnels Beaches is such a special wedding venue, unique and we could not
                have asked for anything more out of the day, it was truly a day we will never forget."

 "We got married at Tunnels Beaches in April 2022 and everything was just perfect. We had the most incredible wedding
                and reception at this stunning venue surrounded by our friends and family. We made full use of the stunning accommodation
                making a beautiful short break around the wedding day itself for our friends and family. This was so special to us all after
                various Covid lockdowns prevented us from seeing each other as we’re spread out around the country.

                Our guests raved about the food and honestly, we’re still thinking about that Gourmet BBQ a while on! The staff were amazing
                and went above and beyond in all stages of the planning and the event itself. You couldn’t ask for a better team of people in
                a more stunning venue for your big day. We can’t recommend it enough; it all still feels like a dream.

                We can’t thank the wonderful people at Tunnels Beaches enough. We’ll treasure the memories we made here for the rest of
                our lives."

 "Tunnels Beaches have it absolutely nailed when it comes to your wedding day. From the moment we first visited the venue
                - beautiful and atmospheric even on a grey, drizzly day like that one - we knew this was the place where we wanted to get
                married. Neither of us are from Devon, but it has always held a special place in our hearts - and even more so now.

                It is so hard to put into words how extraordinary our day was: the build-up to the event, throughout the day itself, and after
                was so relaxed because Tunnels really do have everything sorted. (We were delighted at how they had tidied up all our bits and
                pieces from the wedding so it was ready for us to collect the following morning - this saved a lot of hassle!)

                The day itself was everything we had wished for and more: the sun was shining and the summer, holiday atmosphere for an
                April wedding was remarkable. Countless guests have raved about the day, putting it up there as one of the best weddings
                they have been to, and that is all down the package Tunnels offers. The location, scenery, food, vibe and friendly staff literally
                couldn't get any better.

                We had a bit of drama at the end of the night when a few too many drinks and some crazy dance moves led to one of our guests
                falling and breaking their collarbone at 1.45am, with no sober guests in sight to be of any real assistance. The staff members
                couldn't have done more to help, with one of the barmen even going above and beyond by driving the guest in question to the
                hospital. Incredible.

                We wish we had more words to describe how thankful we are to Tunnels for creating such a magical, unforgettable day for us,
                our family and our friends. Needless to say, we will be back to visit for years to come."

 "Tunnels Beaches was the 3rd wedding venue we visited and although it was the furthest from our hometown and for all of our
                guests, that didn’t matter. The moment we walked into Tunnels Beaches, we knew that this was the place we were going to be
                married!

                We fell in love with the stunning location, the private beach and the great choice of accommodation that was available for our
                nearest and dearest to join us for the wedding weekend. It was the perfect place in every way.

                COVID meant we had to push back our wedding back another 53 weeks but It was so worth the wait. We had the most perfect day.
                It was a cool but dry day, but to be fair it could have rained and we really wouldn't have cared as the scenery would have looked
                just as stunning no matter what the weather. We were lucky to get a lovely sunset and our photographer Aga Tomaszek took
                some amazing sunset shots out on one of the tidal pools.

                All of our guests loved it as much as we did. So many of them said, “This is the best wedding I’ve ever been to” and they raved
                about the quality and variety of food, the location, the cake, the flowers, everything. All the suppliers we chose did us so proud.
                We were amazed that Matt of Yeti Film even got our preview video to us before lunchtime the very next day.

                We really did have the wedding of our dreams and we will be back to Ilfracombe to celebrate future wedding anniversaries in a place
                that has become and will now always be very special to us. Thank you so much to Jamie and the rest of the Tunnels Beaches team
                for looking after us and making our wedding day unforgettable."

"We were engaged long before the world got turned upside down by COVID-19 and we were one of the very lucky couples that
                didn't have their big day ruined by postponements or social distancing restrictions. Our initial dream wedding was to fly out
                to Ibiza with only our closest family and friends, but travel restrictions made this nothing but a pipedream. As days turned
                into months, and months turned into years we re-evaluated our plans and both agreed if we could find the right venue in the
                UK we would tie the knot here...

                Tunnels Beaches was the first venue we saw and we immediately fell in love with it in all its glory. From the stunning scenery,
                to the beautiful accomodation and the incredibly welcoming and very helpful staff, we hadn't even started the car before we
                let them know we wanted to get married there. We had a few back and forths about the date and finally settled on February,
                it was our 8 year anniversary the day after our wedding date, so we couldn't think of a more perfect way to celebrate.

                We opted for the Winter Elopement Package that included: 2 night's accomodation in 'The Woodlands', a three course meal
                and of course the use of the wedding venue.

                Us and our wedding party all hail from London and the South East, so it was a long old journey for everyone, but every single
                one of our guests have since asked us if we can renew our vows at the venue next year so they can visit again! We all had such
                a fantastic time, we could not have asked for better company, better weather or a more perfect place to get married.

                Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Tunnels Beaches for playing such a big part of our long awaited special day - You were
                all amazing!"
                All the best, Natalie & Terri-Anne

"We got married at Tunnels Beaches in Feb 2022 after booking the Winter Elopement Package. This just ticked all the boxes
                for us, with the beautiful modern onsite accommodation, fabulous beach location, stunning venue with spectacular views
                and omg did I mention the delicious food?

                Right from the first contact, all the way up to the wedding day, Jamie and the team quickly responded to all questions and
                requests effortlessly. We were looked after on day of by Naomi and her team making sure we had everything we needed and
                even promising the weather would brighten up, which it did!

                We stayed in 'The Woodlands' the night before and night of the wedding which was perfect for our group, and such a lovely
                experience turning our wedding into a 2-3 day event.

                We had the most wonderful time and cannot thank the Tunnels Beaches team enough for their relaxed vibe, but fantastic
                attention to detail and making sure everything ran smoothly. I can highly recommend Mark from Evolve Photography for
                perfectly capturing our special day.

                Booking Tunnels Beaches for our wedding was the best decision... Not even stormy weather can ruin your day here! We look
                forward to visiting again when returning to North Devon."

"We live in Los Angeles, but wanted to get married in England (where I, the groom, am from). We found Tunnels Beaches,
                and it was perfect. The space itself was amazing, and the Winter Elopement Package was ideal for us and our intimate,
                family-only, wedding.

                From the start the Tunnels team were so accommodating with our seemingly endless questions, all over email because of the
                time difference, and when we did set up a call they were so supportive in working around the weird scheduling. And then they
                went above and beyond, working it out so we could have our favourite champagne served on the day!

                Once we got over there, everything was easy. The on-site accommodation, the parking, the anticipated-amenities so we could
                all have a glass of wine without worrying about anything. And when we did need a refill, the town had everything you could
                need within a stones-throw.

                And on the day, when things did get a bit overwhelming (mostly for me!) the staff were so thoughtful and preemptive - stepping
                in at the right moment to take things off our plates, using their professional experience, and smooth everything over so we
                could just enjoy ourselves!

                We can’t recommend this venue and its team enough!"

"From the minute we booked Tunnels Beaches it has been the most relaxed wedding process I could have ever imagined.

                Before arriving on Monday I had some concerns about how everything would work, especially since we hadn’t had time to view
                the venue beforehand. I really didn’t need to have worried! From the second you greeted us and showed us to 'The Woodlands'
                I instantly felt relaxed and sure we had made the best decision in holding our wedding there. The accommodation was fantastic
                and all our guests commented on what an amazing set up it was. To be so close to the actual wedding venue and be able to be
                with the wedding party for the duration of those few days was just perfect.

                The actual day of the wedding ran so smoothly and that was all thanks to the team and particularly Jacs - she took all the stress
                away from being a bride and having to think through little details. Her calm and relaxed manner were exactly what I needed and
                nothing was too much trouble for her. Not once did I feel rushed or pressured to make decisions, even when I made last minute
                changes to the location of the ceremony.

                Once we were at the venue and the ceremony was finished the staff inside were equally as amazing. Considering in terms of an
                Elopement we ended up being quite a big one (with lots of excitable and boisterous children in the mix!) we were never made to
                feel anything but welcomed. The staff were all incredibly friendly and professional and just helped make our day easier and more
                enjoyable than we could have ever hoped for. They were flexible with last minute changes to meal timings so the photographer
                was able to grab some outside shots before he left and just so helpful throughout the whole wedding.

                The food was outstanding. Every single guest commented that it was the best wedding meal they have ever had and apparently
                the prawn cocktail the best they had ever tasted!

                Obviously the location speaks for itself in terms of its beauty, but even after seeing all the social media posts of the Tunnels -
                nothing could have prepared us for just how spectacular it was in person - we came out of the tunnel it took our breath away
                (and that was nothing to do with the winds!) it was more perfect than we ever could have envisaged. Alongside that, the venue
                itself was just beautiful. Stylish and modern, yet with a cozy laid back vibe, and the views from the first floor were spectacular.

                After 17 years together, I always presumed our wedding day would be a low key affair and nothing particularly special. But thanks
                to you, your wonderful staff and the amazing venue I can hand on heart say it was up there with one of the best days of our lives.

                We will always be eternally grateful for all you did on helping us achieve a wedding we could only have dreamt of."
                With all our thanks, John & Ruth (the new Mr & Mrs Williams)

"From the very second we walked into Tunnels Beaches back in 2017 my now husband & I both fell completely in love, our breath
                was literally taken by the panoramic views of the sea. We knew there & then that was the venue we needed to say ‘I Do’ in.

                Unfortunately we were one of the thousands of weddings affected by the pandemic which is where the service we received from
                Tunnels completely shone through. The communication was next to none, Tunnels were so attentive and helpful. I personally
                can’t thank them enough for all of their support during such a stressful period for any bride.

                We finally got our dream day and the wait had well and truly been worth it. The day ran perfectly all thanks to Tunnels. All our
                guests commented on how beautiful the venue is and how incredible the food was. Tunnels made you feel like the most important
                wedding they’d ever dealt with.

                We couldn’t of picked a better venue and will forever be grateful to the team at Tunnels for making our day so special and smooth."

"Tunnels Beaches was the first and only wedding venue we viewed. When we went to view we just knew straight away that
                having our wedding day there would be amazing. We were not wrong at all, our wedding day was the BEST day ever!!!

                From the moment we booked the venue, the communication with the staff was great. We had so many questions about all
                the small details as we got nearer to the day but after sending an email, we would have a reply within no more than 20 minutes.
                They were always happy to help!

                Us and some of our guests stayed in 'The Courtyard' and 'The Bath House'. When we arrived we were shown around the
                spotlessly clean and beautiful houses. Everything you could possibly need was in the houses, they were a great base and we
                spent so much time around our wedding day there. We had welcome drinks with our guests the night before our wedding
                and then a more chilled BBQ on the day after our wedding. It meant we had 3 full days to spend lots of time with our friends
                and family all in one place!

                Everything was so well organised for our wedding day. The staff are happy to help set up your wedding decor which really helped
                us out - not that you need too much as the venue and views are beautiful!! The weather was perfect for our special day and we
                will never forget how amazing it was. We absolutely loved every part and our guests were also in love with the venue.

                The food was so good and there was plenty of it. We had cornish pasties as our evening snack which I highly recommend, they
                were massive!!!

                The backdrop is incredible and so many people commented on how it was the best venue they have ever seen. We absolutely
                love it and the venue as well as our day will always hold a special place in our hearts."

"Tunnels Beaches was the most magical setting for our wedding day. From the moment we walked in through the gates
                and down through the tunnel at our viewing with Jamie, we knew there and then that it was the place we wanted to spend
                our special day… and that’s before we’d even seen inside the venue!!

                We loved every single thing about Tunnels, from the gorgeous scenery right down to every little detail, it was all just perfect.
                Words can’t really describe how magical it was to say our “I Do’s” whilst listening to the sound of the waves.

                A big thank you to the amazing Tunnels team who helped make our day so special - throughout the build up to the wedding and
                on the day, everyone was so attentive and made everything so easy for us. Neither of us once felt stressed leading up to the day
                as we knew it was all in hand!

                We will definitely take you up on the offer of visiting next time we’re nearby!..."

"We had the most wonderful Wedding Day at Tunnels Beaches, and wish we could do it all over again and again!

                The staff are absolutely fantastic, they made the day feel like a dream. They all had the biggest smiles, and were just a joy
                to be around. Nothing was too small an ask from them - they had  thought of every detail. (They even helped me do up my
                shoes!) We would recommend the venue to anyone in a heartbeat.

                Thank you Tunnels, for making our dream wedding come true."

"From the moment we arrived at Tunnels Beaches we knew this was the wedding venue for us. It was the first and last venue
                we looked at after getting engaged in September 2018. From the initial phone call to set up a viewing to arriving on our
                wedding day, the team were friendly, helpful and happy to help in any way they could.

                We booked our wedding for September 2020, little did we know a pandemic would hit us and derail all our plans. However,
                Jamie and the team were incredible at talking through date changes, rearrangements and just general queries as we navigated
                through a challenging time.

                When our day finally arrived, just over a year later than planned, it really was worth the wait. The stunning location, delicious
                food, brilliant staff and beautiful venue suited us perfectly and reflected our love of the seaside as a couple.

                We cannot recommend Tunnels Beaches enough and it will always have a special place in our hearts."

"Tunnels was the perfect wedding venue - a stunning setting, laid back atmosphere with lovely, helpful staff.

                Our wedding was moved several times during the pandemic, and the team worked with us to offer us as many options as possible
                during what was no doubt an extremely stressful time for them as well. We were so happy to be able to finally have our wedding
                with 80 guests this September as planned, and even with dry, sunny weather!

                We really wanted a relaxed, laid-back venue with minimum fuss and extra 'frills', and Tunnels is great for that. The staff really
                do think and take care of everything, so that there's minimum stress.

                So many of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was and how delicious the food was (it was amazing!). We couldn't
                fault anything on the day, and there were always staff seamlessly on hand to gently let us know what was happening next or to
                make sure we were fed and watered.

                Thanks for such a memorable day!"

"Tunnels Beaches is quite simply a real life paradise. We first stumbled across Tunnels in summer 2018 and knew right away we
                wanted to get married there. We booked it within a few days for September 2020 and the countdown was on. We visited twice
                before the big day, on both occasions everyone was super helpful and answered all our questions. Obviously our wedding was
                unable to go ahead in September 2020 so we moved to April 2021 and then again to September 2021. Each time we moved,
                everyone was so helpful and accommodating and we were always kept in the loop with what was going on.

                Jamie, Jacs and Tanya were always on hand to answer the thousands of questions we had and Catherine was an absolute angel
                to work with in the last few weeks when we had last minute drop outs and changes to make.

                The day itself was nothing short of perfection. Everything was carefully thought out, exactly how we’d asked and Naomi, Rebecca
                and Simon were brilliant throughout. Every time Rebecca noticed I didn’t have a drink – she was on it! The food was spectacular
                and a lot of our guests commented it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We’re still eating the cake of cheese over 3 weeks
                on, although we’re now down to nursing the last bit of stilton as it was simply delicious.

                I don’t know how many weddings we’ve been to but there’s always something you think could have been better or ran more smoothly
                and I can honestly say hand on heart that if you want to have the wedding of the century that not one of your guests will ever forget
                – then Tunnels Beaches is for you. We’re already planning out 10 year vow renewal!"

"Our wedding at Tunnels Beaches was a dream come true - honestly better than we could ever have imagined. The spectacular,
                unique setting formed a breathtaking backdrop to the wedding and the team who looked after us were exceptional, ensuring
                that everything ran smoothly and the day felt relaxed throughout.

                Prior to the event, Jamie, Catherine and Tanya were impressively efficient in responding to emails, even during the stresses
                of the pandemic. We would also like to thank all the staff who were on hand during the wedding - each one of them was so
                friendly and helpful.

                It drizzled almost all day, but we were still able to have the ceremony outside and the Tunnels team were brilliant in ensuring
                that all our guests stayed dry. Afterwards, large parasols were put up on the terrace - a nice touch which allowed the canapes
                and mingling to continue outdoors despite the poor weather. Like everyone does in the lead up to the big day, we had pored
                over the weather forecast praying for sunshine, but come rain or shine Tunnels is still the most beautiful, dramatic venue and
                the drizzle didn't put a dampener on the day in the slightest.

                We had read all the testimonials raving about the food so had high expectations, but we also wondered whether it could really
                be THAT good. We can confirm: it really was! Over half of our guests were vegetarian and the team were very helpful in
                accommodating our special requests. Carnivores and veggies alike are still talking about the gourmet BBQ! Everything was
                delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned, with the butternut dauphinois and asparagus & parmesan pastries being particular
                hits. And the dipped strawberries for dessert are truly something special.

                We stayed in The Courtyard, which was a perfect base for our close family. The accommodation was luxurious and spacious,
                and being right next door to the venue was so convenient and meant no worry about transport or parking.

                Thank you so much for helping us have such a wonderful wedding - we look forward to returning to Tunnels Beaches in the future
                to reminisce about our magical day there."

"If you're looking for a stunning location, a stress-free booking & organisation process, incredible food and a team that feels
                as excited about your big day as you are – Tunnels Beaches is it!

                From the very first time we viewed the venue we fell in love with the whole place, people and all. We're a fairly chilled couple
                but personalisation was really important to us and we had a lot of ideas for how we wanted our day to go; the Tunnels team
                never rushed us, never told us what we could or couldn't do in the space. They maintained an "it's your wedding, you do you"
                attitude the entire time.

                The food and drinks packages are really flexible and SO worth the money. Top tip: get the monkfish skewers – you will not regret
                it! Our friends are still raving about them two months later.

                As for the venue, what can we say that isn't already so obvious from just looking at the place? Being tucked away in your own
                corner of the world, on your own private beach behind the rock, feels really special and intimate, and having the sun set behind
                you through panoramic windows during the speeches is a moment you won't forget. Trust us.

                We were always a little sceptical when people told us "it'll be the best day of your lives"... but it really was the best day of our lives
                and we couldn't imagine it having taken place anywhere but Tunnels Beaches."

"The moment we stepped out of the tunnel, we knew this was the only place we could imagine getting married and that it would
                be the perfect day. And we weren't wrong! The venue is exceptional in every way. It is designed perfectly to ensure that the day
                runs smoothy, with every small detail taken into account. The venue is so incredibly unique due to the private beach and rugged
                coastline it offers. We have continuously heard from guests about what a memorable venue it is and we can't argue with them.

                Our day ran more smoothly than we could have ever imagined, and it is all thanks to the amazing staff at Tunnels Beaches.
                They were so on top of the whole day and so incredibly thoughtful, kind and reassuring throughout. Even the small things like
                checking we had eaten, ensuring guests with complicated dietary requirements were catered for and keeping us on time, but
                also allowing flexibility when needed.

                We hate to bring up the dreaded Covid, but we cannot emphasise how well Jamie and the staff at Tunnels Beaches handled the
                situation, and we will always be eternally grateful for that. As well as keeping us regularly informed about how the venue would
                be moving forward during the constantly changing rules, the venue with its outdoor setting and fold back doors allowed for all
                guests to feel comfortable attending.

                We cannot talk about how amazing Tunnels is without also mentioning the food!! Our guests are still raving about the buffet.
                As well as looking amazing, the food also tasted fantastic. We had a lot of vegetarian and vegan guests, as well as a lot of
                dietary requirements and everyone was catered for.

                Thank you so much for allowing us to have such a memorable day with all of our friends and family. I wish we could do it all again!"

"Before even getting engaged we both individually knew that when the time came, we would want to get married by the sea.
                Phil, having grown up in Cornwall and Devon had spent much time down in Ilfracombe and I had grown to love it as well.
               
               
Tunnels Beaches was the second venue we saw for our wedding. Our search stopped there. The natural beauty of the location,
                the kind nature of the staff, the endlessly positive testimonials about the food meant we knew this was where we would tie
                the knot.

                Unfortunately, Covid delayed our plans by a year but Jamie and Catherine made the process of delaying our wedding stressless
                and seamless. We were forecasted for a thunderstorm for the whole weekend but somehow, as always, when it mattered the
                most Ilfracombe turned it around. We were married in the most beautiful weather surrounded by the most wonderful people
                and spectacular scenery.

                A family member felt unwell during the day and The Tunnels Beaches team were exceptional at making sure they were OK and
                the rest of the wedding guests were kept entertained, fed and watered while they were looked incredibly well looked after.

                Throughout the day me and Phil felt pampered to no end! Everyone just made sure we always had a drink on hand - they never
                worried us with anything to do with setting up the venue, where decorations etc should be. At no point did we feel we had to
                manage anything or worry that something was going to go wrong. Our band commented on how well they were looked after as
                well and couldn't praise the location enough!

                The best thing about this venue... being able to party on until 2 am and party we did! The staff never made us feel like we were
                a burden - they were so supportive of us having a great time!

                Our guests are still raving about our wedding and so many have said it's the best wedding venue they have ever been to.
                I can't thank Jamie and his team enough for all they have done for us. Or our band, saxophone player, florist, photographers
                and make up artists were all amazing. Best Wedding Day!!"

"We'd like to thank everyone at Tunnels Beaches for bringing our wedding day dream to life! We genuinely couldn't have wished
                for more, every single detail on the day was completely perfect, from the service to the incredible food and drink, and of course
                the stunning setting and breathtaking venue!

                We could write a whole testimonial just on the food - genuinely the best meal of our lives! Everything was cooked to perfection,
                and there was plenty for everyone - a lot of our guests have since admitted to us that they had 2nds/3rds! We were a little
                worried that service would seem disjointed with guests having to go down to the BBQ to select their food, but we needn't have
                worried, service ran so smoothly and the nature of the BBQ service added to the relaxed feel of our day.

                The team were all so incredible in delivering the chilled out, summer time beachside celebration for us - everything on the day
                ran so smoothly, the planning process was so easy and everything was delivered as requested. All of our guests are still talking
                about how perfect our wedding day was, and considering how busy 2021 had been for the wedding industry, you'd never know
                how much pressure the team will have been under and how tired they would have almost certainly been feeling!

                We felt like the most important couple to ever get married. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for incredible memories
                of the most perfect day we'll have for the rest of our lives."
                Lots of love, Steve & Sammy

"Sam and I just want to say a huge thank you to you all for making our wedding so amazing...

                From Jamie showing us around initially, Catherine and Tanya being so helpful in answering all my questions in the build up,
                to Naomi, Simon, Alfie and the others (so sorry I didn’t catch everyone’s names!) you have all been so friendly, helpful and
                accommodating. Our wedding was absolutely perfect for us and we couldn’t be more grateful.

                The venue is absolutely stunning as we already knew but it completely blew us and our guests away on the day and as non meat
                eaters we were apprehensive about choosing all vegan/veggie choices but every single guest commented on how amazing the
                food was and we couldn’t agree more.

                So thank you again for helping us to have the exact day we wanted, we’ll remember it forever."

"Myself and my husband had an idea of what kind of wedding venue we would like when we started our extensive search but
                didn’t think we would find it in the UK! I happened to come across Tunnels Beaches and it was on our to view list, along with
                a couple of other venues. We headed down to Ilfracombe back in 2018 with the plan of looking around this venue and then
                comparing to others we were yet to go and see. The weather was miserable but within about 30 seconds of making our first
                walk down the tunnel and seeing the most spectacular view and venue, we changed our minds and booked before we left
                (along with accommodation - 'The Bath House' and 'The Court yard' - we LOVED the interlinking rooms).

                We married finally in September 2021! No postponements, just our chosen date!

                What a day!! We had constant communication prior to the wedding (nothing was too much trouble) and the day ran unbelievably
                smoothly! The staff were on point and so lovely!

                Our guests were wowed by the venue and scenery and the weather happened to be gorgeous (just a little windy). The food was
                incredible, amazing choice options, nice and hot and very tasty!

                We truly couldn’t have asked for any more. We had a singer in the day and a band on the evening which complimented this
                stunning venue so well.

                All we can say is thank you! Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true and feel so effortless!

                On a final note, anyone considering the accommodation; do it!!... We had 48 of us staying within the two houses and it just
                added to the wedding! Everyone was so happy, we had the best time at the wedding, breakfast the next morning and then a day
                crabbing down the beach before checking out the day after! Absolutely everyone who stayed commented on how they are so
                glad they did and it meant the wedding ‘hype’ lasted that bit longer and brought a big group of people closer!"

"First of all, thank you so much for creating this dreamlike venue, it was a no brainer when selecting the location for our
                wedding day and boy did it deliver. Tunnels Beaches literally had everything we could have hoped for and more, it is mysterious,
                unique and has utterly breathtaking views of the beaches and the sea.

                We were incredibly lucky that our day had clear blue skies and allowed the venue to shine, not to mention being able to watch the
                most incredible sunset. We and all of our guests were completely bowled over, no-one has been able to stop talking about it since!

                Thank you for all of your quick and helpful responses running up to and on the day, it was great to know that everything we had
                prepared was all in hand, and all we needed to do was turn up! The day ran smoothly thanks to all the amazing and friendly staff.
                The food completely lived up to the hype, it was delicious and we loved the fact the guests could pick exactly what they wanted.
                Everyone loved the paella in the evening as well.

                It truly was the most perfect day and we are so glad we chose Tunnels Beaches!"

                and enjoying a delicious Paella cooked for us all the night before the wedding to our amazing wedding day.

                Every single thing went to plan, the staff were absolutely incredible with keeping in touch on the day as well as answering any
                questions we had leading up to the wedding.

                We couldn't recommend the Tunnels enough, if we could do it all again we would in a heartbeat!"

"Thank you so much to the entire team at Tunnels Beaches for helping us create our dream wedding. The entire process from
                start to finish was relaxed and easy, even with a pandemic thrown in!

                The venue itself is stunning and to be able to get married with the most breathtaking view behind you is beyond special.
                We chose the Gourmet BBQ and we're so glad we did! All of our guests loved it and it really catered for all food tastes.

                The team were helpful, friendly and made the day run smoothly. The communication leading up to the wedding was great as well,
                any questions we had were quickly answered.

                We had the most incredible day... Everyone loved it and haven't stopped talking about it since! We would highly recommend

"Firstly and most importantly, Elliott and I want to say a gigantic thank you to each and every member of staff at Tunnels Beaches!
                All the way from viewing the venue, booking, correspondence back and fourth with all of my worries, our accommodation and our
                actual wedding day... the staff were incredible throughout!
 
                We stayed in 'The Woodlands' on site for 3 nights and were so glad that we did! It meant that both mine and Elliotts families could
                be together before, during and after the wedding. Having the night there after also felt like our wedding day wasn't just one day,
                it felt spread out over the three.

                We opted for our own package and chose the food that we thought would accommodate all of our guests and still to this day, over
                two months later... our friends and relatives are still talking about the food! It was absolutely amazing!

                Our wedding co-ordinator on the day was so kind, polite and helpful and made sure the order of the day went perfectly.

                Elliott and I chose our ceremony time as 13:00, as we wanted to spend as much time at the venue as possible and we are so glad
                we did! We celebrated from 13:00 until 02:00am! 

                We cannot recommend this venue enough and our wedding day was better than we could have ever dreamed of."

"Tunnels is hands down the most incredible wedding venue, the views are insane! After having our wedding postponed, it was
                definitely worth the wait!

                The staff are incredible, they have thought about every tiny detail - so you need not worry. They will also make you feel completely
                relaxed, they are the experts, there will be no stress! Having a venue that supplies everything, will genuinely make your life a lot
                easier!

                The food is also absolutely fantastic, 4 months later my friends and family are still talking about it! You will not be disappointed
                with this venue, I have nothing but good things to say, the venue, food, views and staff are just awesome."

"I’m trying to find the words to show my gratitude to you, but for the first time in my life it seems I am speechless!!
                However I will try....

                When we booked your venue it was raining and cold in the winter and even on that blustery day we thought well we love it now
                so it will be amazing on the big day and so the journey began. The madness of 2020 began and we had a false start and your
                support made us feel incredibly lucky when we understood the hardship you and others in our situation were facing. You handled
                the postponement with incredible compassion and calmness and we are thankful in itself for that.

                No one could imagine the stress that was to come and again your continued attention to communication was second to none and
                put us at ease at every stressful unknown turn.

                Then it was true ... it was happening for us!
                There is nothing we would change about our experience with you and your venue. What you do at Tunnels Beaches is second to none.

                Let’s start with the accommodation... our guests were blown away as we were too when we first viewed it! We hired 'The Bath
                House' and 'The Courtyard' and everyone was comfortable and we enjoyed the space over the 3 days with Paella on the first day
                and BBQ on the last evening. The decor and attention to detail is mind blowing. I wanted to see everyone’s reaction and did
                about 20 tours on the first day and was exhausted haha, but it was soooo worth it to see their faces!

                Ok, next.. THE BIG DAY!
                You are a well oiled machine and even though we were aware of other weddings taking place on other days it didn’t encroach on
                our privacy and you certainly have every detail covered, but let me say that your staff are the most attentive and warm bunch
                of humans. They are a credit to you... I didn’t get all their names but I would like to say a special thanks to Jacs - you are amazing!
                Maribel - who was waiting with canapés when I came off the beach because she didn’t want me to miss them (a sure way to my
                heart)! Rebecca - an absolute legend who looked after every single one of us and dealt with my demands graciously and perfectly.
                To all the others who may remain nameless you all hold a special place in my heart!

                To Jamie, Tanya and Catherine keep doing what you do it’s perfection.

                Right... THE FOOD! Whaaaaaaaat can I say about that??? I don’t quite know how to say it so I will quote our guests ...
                “This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had” and “Wow this wedding food is insane”... amongst other things along those lines
                all with mouths full of the tastiest food known to man... I think that should cover that! Thank you Chef and all the other staff
                who made that possible.

                So now we have returned and I am on cloud ninety nine ... Thank you for having us in your slice of heaven in Devon. We hold you
                in our hearts forever and we will be back soon to see you all!

                If anyone reads this and and are still unsure about whether this place is for them... let me tell you all... it IS! Don’t miss out on
                having your wedding here! It’s out of this world!"
                We love you. Kimmy & Russ Moreland

"A day of Dreams…
                Firstly what a stunning place Tunnels Beaches is, a breathtaking backdrop for our Wedding - we consider ourselves lucky
                to have been able to have our special day here. From the start, communication from Jamie and his staff has been excellent.
                All arrangements for the day were sorted efficiently, calmly and with a 'nothing's too much trouble' approach, I mean these
                guys are on it!

                Gosh the food, so much choice we found it hard to limit! The whole day we felt truly looked after, the staff were so attentive
                even offering to drive some stranded guests home!

                Stunning location, breathtaking views, fabulous team, amazing food! Thank you for making our day… perfect!"

                (and re-organising) a wedding during a pandemic with a newborn as relaxed and stress-free as it could be.

                The location is truly special. Walking out of the tunnel to be faced with that view of the sea takes your breath away.
                Oh and the food… our guests are still talking about how amazing it was!"

"Thank you so so much to your whole team for the most perfect wedding day and also the best wedding weekend staying at
                your beautiful accommodation at the venue. Our family and friends are still talking about it and everyone has said it was the
                best wedding they’ve ever been to! From start to finish everything ran so smoothly and I do believe that the relaxing vibe
                your team give really helped me relax and feel at ease the whole day. We couldn’t have asked for more with how attentive
                and reassuring the team were with any last minute questions we had.

                The accommodation is absolutely stunning and our guests that stayed there have all asked if we can do a holiday there again
                as it was so nice! I would recommend staying there to anyone as it meant we could have a whole wedding weekend of fun
                without worrying about having to travel anywhere else and the location is perfect.

                The food was one of the main topics of conversation from our guests, it was the most delicious food. We are not quite over
                how tasty it was and the paella in the evening was the best we’ve ever had!

                The venue itself is the most beautiful and different venue you’ll ever find. We were planning on having a wedding abroad but
                due to covid we decided to look closer to home and WOW… This venue ticked all the boxes and more and we believe that it
                was meant to be (especially as the restrictions were lifted just before our wedding!). It felt like a holiday and we had a lot of
                people messaging since, asking what country we got married in. Guests and ourselves have already been recommending the
                venue to other friends and family!

                From the day we booked the venue right up until the day we sadly had to leave the accommodation your team were so helpful
                and always on hand - responding quickly to any questions we had. Thank you again, we are forever grateful to you all for
                creating the most perfect and magical wedding day my husband and I could have ever dreamed of.

                We will definitely be back to visit Tunnels Beaches for anniversaries and holidays to reminisce about the best day."

"As I work in the wedding industry we were really looking for a very unique & uncomparable venue to host our wedding, and after
                a long search we knew Tunnels Beaches was for us as soon as we laid eyes on it.

                The backdrop is dramatic, and like no other, so we especially loved the cascading glass bifolds so that you could soak in the views
                no matter what the weather decided to do on our special day.

                Our day with the venue was very laid back which really suited us, and the day just flowed beautifully from one event to the next.
                It truly felt so special to have Tunnels all to ourselves for the day. The food is still the talk of our guests, alongside our epic silent
                disco DJ 'The wedding spinner'.

                We absolutely had the time of our lives, and we couldn't thank the staff at Tunnels Beaches enough for making it look so effortless.
                Thank you for having us, and for being so accommodating throughout the tough times of Covid."

"We only needed to visit Tunnels Beaches once to realise it was the venue for us. The sea views are spectacular and the venues
                attention to detail with décor is perfect. With COVID we were unable to visit again until the wedding and we had our concerns,
                but every step of the way the wedding co-ordinators put our mind at ease and reassured us. I emailed them so many times with
                questions that came to mind, no matter how trivial they were we always got a hasty response!

                On arrival our guests were blown away with their accommodation and the location of Tunnels, we hired all 3 houses for close
                friends and family to make a mini-holiday. We had a paella dish provided by Tunnels the night before and this was delicious
                - huge portions and plenty of chunky fish.

                Tanya was brilliant on the day of the wedding, she was on the ball and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Initially we were
                disappointed that they made the decision to have the ceremony inside, but they knew best, half way through the vows the
                heavens opened and thankfully the registrar was the only person who got a little wet!! Thankfully the sky cleared after the
                ceremony and the sun came out, the Tunnels staff were flexible to adapt to the weather and this allowed us to enjoy drinks
                out on the front terrace.

                We picked the BBQ for guests and it was soooo good!!! Plenty of food, suitable for children, vegetarians, vegans and fussy
                eaters. The ice-cream tricycle was then a great choice for deserts, it allowed people to have their pudding once dinner had
                settled after speeches.

                Overall, Tunnels has given us unforgettable memories for our special day - we are so thankful for all of the support the staff
                provided us 2 years prior to the wedding and even afterwards with lost property being left at the venue!"

"Thank you so so much to the whole team at Tunnels Beaches. We got married in July 2021, postponed from August 2020
                (due to pandemic!) I have to say, the process of changing the date and everything running up to our new day was done at ease
                without any stress.

                The wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more. The venue speaks for itself (breathtaking) and the staff were
                wonderful - so helpful and kind, they couldn’t do enough for us! - They even filmed us on our iPad walking back up the isle after
                just getting married - that was a wonderful little surprise to find!

                I could not have wished for a more perfect day. We picked the best venue and had the best staff to help us throughout the whole
                process - I genuinely cannot thank you all enough for making our day what it was. The food was incredible, our guests have said
                it was the best wedding food they have ever tasted.

                10/10, wonderful place - I only wish I could do it all again. Thank you Tunnels Beaches for the most perfect day of our lives."

"Tunnels Beaches really offer a turn key solution to weddings. We arrived to a day that was well planned, delivered and offered
                flexibility around our newborn baby and need for a swim after the meal. The food was sublime and plentiful - recommend
                the Monkfish & Prawn skewers! Mafia 4 (band) and Yeti Photography are the only improvement to this venue, which we were
                fortunate enough to have.

                In a year of cancelled weddings we've really seen the true motivations of businesses - Tunnels have shown compassion,
                understanding and been so great with communication throughout the pandemic. We're lucky to have had the days there that
                we did and hope all our friends get married there so we can revisit!"

"Our wedding at Tunnels Beaches was extraordinary. It is the most perfect venue, we only saw this venue and knew straight
                away it was for us. The setting is so beautiful and coastal and the vibe is relaxing and personal but with great food - what
                more could you ask for?!

                We had to delay our wedding twice due to Covid and Jamie was exceptional, always understanding, reasonable and available
                to contact anytime. In the lead up to the big and final day it was all so relaxed with the Tunnels and on the day everything ran
                so smoothly. The team were on hand all the time for anything we needed but to be honest they had thought of most things
                first anyway! All the team want is for you to have the best day and your way, they were incredibly flexible and there was not
                a single stress for either my husband or I.

                I cannot recommend the team and the venue enough, if you are considering booking Tunnels Beaches, I can tell you it is definitely
                worth it. We had the most amazing day and neither of us would change a single thing, plus we have the most gorgeous photos
                and memories to reflect back on. I would also highly recommend Pumpkin and Pye for flowers and These Wild Souls for photography,
                every person involved in our day including suppliers and the venue were spectacular.

                We will hold Tunnels Beaches as such a special place in our lives and can't wait to go back to visit in the future."
                Best wishes, Mandy & Alex

"We always knew we wanted a venue that offered something different and when they say something takes your breath away
                there’s no denying that! Having fallen in love with Tunnels Beaches on our first visit we were keen to secure a date, it was
                almost lucky that there wasn’t any availability until Summer 2021.

                With it being a very up and down year and not knowing 100% if our wedding day could go ahead we had constant reassurance
                from Jamie and his team who were always quick to respond to our emails. On the day the team were on hand to help our friends
                with the set up, and were extremely attentive and friendly throughout.

                The day itself was more than perfect, we were so lucky to have glorious sunshine, we had so many people ask if we’d got married
                abroad! We were all blown away by the delicious food, so many of our guests went up for seconds and even thirds! It was a bit of
                a blur after the meal as we were both very merry, but somehow the team still ensured it all ran like clockwork.

                It truly was an unforgettable day, we just wish we could do it all over again - perhaps we will one day!"

"Waw, well, what can we say?! We want to express our utmost thanks to the whole team at Tunnels Beaches for giving us
                the most incredible wedding of a lifetime!

                From the very first communication we had with Jamie and his team, email responses were almost instantaneous and were
                very obliging; fitting us in for visits at awkward times around our jobs.

                The venue itself, it goes without saying, is totally stunning. Every little detail had been thought out to make our day flow
                smoothly and effortlessly. We went for the Luxe package, and the rumours are completely true… the food is exquisite!
                We are still getting comments six months later about how good the food was! I highly recommend the monkfish & tiger prawn
                skewers and the steaks - cooked fresh off the barbie onto your plate - a really cool touch! But everything was absolutely delicious.

                We had our heart set on having a Ceilidh by the sea, and the venue were so thoughtful and determined to make it happen for us!
                The end result was totally brilliant, we had our Ceilidh on the terrace as the sun set over the sea, it was like something out of
                a movie.

                We would like to say a special thank you to Jamie, Catherine and Tanya who, throughout the pandemic, have had to deal with
                several fraught emails, questions and zoom calls from ourselves and our anxious parents. We would like to thank you all again
                for all your time and help in finally making our magical day happen.

                We cannot recommend this beautiful venue enough, it is by far the most spectacular venue in this country - maybe the world!-
                and you will have the best, most awesome day of your lives!"
                Tonnes of love, from Hannah & Guto

                From the day we arrived - staying at The Woodlands to checking out was a success... All our guests have said how fantastic the

"Friday the 9th July 2021 at Tunnels Beaches was the day we dreamed of and more!...

                Our wedding had to be cancelled in July 2020 because of the Covid Pandemic - as you can imagine we were both heart broken.
                We had a chat with Jamie who has been truly fantastic all the way through and so very supportive! His words were "don’t worry,
                let's see what we can do"... and within a few hours we had our new date set! I just couldn’t believe how amazing the team were
                and yet it was so incredibly stressful for them too.

                Our day ran from start to finish so incredibly smoothly - the staff were fabulous and the food was divine! All the guests commented.
                As a bride, we tend to stress quite a lot, however I can reassure all future brides that you have no need to worry - Tunnels are
                so accommodating and go above and beyond to ensure you have your dream wedding.

                The days goes quickly so embrace and enjoy!.. Myself and Walt would love to do it all again (in fact we are planning to in 10 years!)
                See you all at Tunnels Beaches soon, we will be back!!"

"Where to start? Joe found Tunnels Beaches online when researching ‘relaxed wedding venue’; we made the visit and didn’t
                bother looking anywhere else (you know when you know, right?)

                From booking and all the way up to the day was such a super chilled process, nothing was an issue, all questions answered
                and super quick responses.

                We booked The Woodlands accommodation to make more out of the time, and wow was that worth it. The place was flawless,
                with all details considered. A bathroom for every bedroom just made the experience perfect for those who wanted some chill
                time outside of the communal fun. Having the accommodation for three days spread out all the celebrations which was so lovely.
 
                I am still pretty astonished at how incredible the wedding day was; quite lost for words, but I’ll give it a go…

                Firstly, the team are absolutely brilliant; their energy, friendliness, professionalism, and loveliness added to the brilliant
                atmosphere of the day. They really took amazing care of Joe & I, so attentive, thinking of things I wouldn’t have even
                considered, which made the day flow so well; nothing was an issue.

                The venue. I mean… just wait till you see it. To have your own private escape, nestled away in the incredible coast of Ilfracombe.
                We were lucky enough to have sunny weather and our guests felt like they were on a day trip to Italy. Regardless of weather,
                we visited the venue in October on a drizzly day and were still buzzing at the venue and beautiful set up. The brilliant thing
                about Tunnels is that the view is your decoration, you honestly don’t need anything more than the jaw dropping views of the
                coast. Still can’t actually get over how beautiful it is.

                For all you foodies out there, the gourmet BBQ is TO DIE FOR! The selection is so good; only problem was trying not to choose
                everything. Everyone loved it; who doesn’t love a BBQ? Tunnels were so accommodating for veggies and vegans too, every
                dietary requirement is considered. We went for the pasties in the evening, and what a flipping delight- best pasties EVER!
                Finally, for the night after the wedding, we had a Thai green curry cooked for the house which was just so delicious. The quality
                of all the food was so on point.

                We are still so buzzing that we got to get married at Tunnels, it was everything we wanted and more. Just a huge thank you
                again to you and all your team, they are all phenomenal."

"We are so glad that we found our perfect venue! We were looking for somewhere by the coast, with a relaxed vibe and as soon
                as we visited Tunnels Beaches (in the middle of a storm in November!) we knew this was the one.

                The whole weekend went wonderfully smoothly, the accommodation at 'The Woodlands' and the catering the evening before the
                wedding was all fantastic.

                The staff at Tunnels really are incredible, everything had been thought of and on the day we both felt very relaxed and reassured
                that everything was in hand. The staff went above and beyond several times for us and for the guests to make sure that everyone
                had a great time. So many people have since told us how great the food was – it really was! Every detail had been thought of and
                displayed beautifully.

                Tunnels Beaches – honestly – what a stunning venue. The view is breath-taking everywhere you go and the pictures reflect it. We
                are so happy that we chose Tunnels and we’d definitely recommend the venue to others."

"After having our wedding in Italy postponed twice, we were so unbelievably lucky to have such an incredible venue like
                Tunnels Beaches step in and save the day.

                Everything from arrival was absolutely perfect. The view that hits you as you leave the tunnels into the venue itself was stunning,
                and having the luxury of your own private beach on your wedding day is such a wow factor, which makes for some incredible
                pictures. It really did feel like we had our own destination wedding in such a unique location. For us, it was absolutely perfect.

                The gourmet BBQ was incredible (as were the canapés & drinks) but what really made this an even more special day for us was
                just how lovely and attentive all of the staff were to us and our guests. They really did go the extra mile to make sure everyone
                was catered for and nothing was too much trouble.

                We also stayed at the on site accomodation which we would highly recommend. It was a luxurious stay and so good for spending
                time with guests before and after the wedding (including the amazing Paella cooked by the Tunnels Beaches Chefs). Considering
                how close you are to the Beaches it felt very private and tucked away, and was the perfect addition to our incredible wedding
                experience at Tunnels Beaches."

"Our wedding day was an absolute dream! Everything we could ever have wished for and more! And the sunset - just wow!!
                Thank you so much - we love everything about Tunnels Beaches!

                It is an amazing secluded venue set right on a private beach, in fact you couldn't get any closer to sea! From the moment we
                first viewed it we knew it was very special and perfect for us. We first viewed Tunnels Beaches on a freezing cold, grey, wintery
                day, and even with that weather it had an amazing feel to it, being by the water's edge is so atmospheric - the venue is truly
                spectacular!

                The staff at Tunnels Beaches are fantastic and made organising our wedding day very easy (both the first and the second time
                - thanks Covid!) All of the staff were so friendly and helpful on the day, our guests were blown away by Tunnels! The food is
                incredible, our family and friends have not stopped raving about the food - especially the Paella!

                We staying in the beautifully decorated house The Courtyard, which is perfect for pre or post wedding gatherings. The Courtyard
                is right next to Tunnels Beaches and so convenient, especially for a quick wedding day dip in the tidal pool!

                Tunnels Beaches is the perfect wedding venue, we are longing for the day we are invited as guests to a wedding at Tunnels so we
                can enjoy it all over again!"

"What an amazing venue! If you are looking for a stunning venue with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff this is the place
                to have your wedding. We wanted a laid back wedding by the sea and Tunnel Beaches did not disappoint!

                We booked 'The Woodlands' accommodation, which is a modern, spacious and light place to stay. Having the accommodation
                for three days was perfect to allow friends and family to catch up and get to know one another.

                The wedding was incredible. The views, drinks and food exceeded our expectations! With our guests still telling us how amazing
                the day was and always mentioning the food! We loved that the venue is exclusive and there is a private beach. We also hired
                the garden games set, which was such a good laugh!

                We really cannot recommend this wedding venue enough, if we could do it all again we would in a heartbeat! Huge thank you
                to all the staff at Tunnels Beaches for giving us such an amazing day that we will never forget!"

                day and night, a better team of people around us and a better venue. The staff that work at your venue are a credit to you,
                they were wonderful and relaxed and all of our guest commented on how wonderful they were. They were helpful, attentive
                and just lovely.

                The setting for our venue was unbelievable! We are honestly going to live on cloud nine for the rest of our lives!

                I am never going to be able to say thank you enough! But thank you for allowing us to have our wedding here! Our guests
                were actually taken aback by the beauty around them."

"We just wanted to send a very heartfelt 'Thank You' for all that you did in making our wedding feel so relaxed and magical.
                We felt like we were just carried through the day on a cloud where everyone around us made sure the right things were
                happening at the right time and we were totally unawares. As a result we spent the day so relaxed and happy, & we think
                that shows in the awesome photos we got. 

                All our guests were blown away with the venue - and the food! Every single person commented about how good the food was,
                adding that they felt so bad not finishing it but they were simply too full! I especially felt guilty not finishing it when I'd made
                a special request for Paneer Curry... it was absolutely delicious... the dress just wouldn't allow any more... but most days I do
                think 'I'd like to finish that curry now!'

                Thank you for being so responsive, attentive and accommodating, both in the run up and on the day. Definitely one of the
                best decisions we've ever made getting married at Tunnels Beaches!

                Good luck with the continued success of the venue. We look forward to being in the vicinity again when we come back for
                future anniversaries…"

"We just wanted to write you and thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day such a wonderful experience.
                We were due to elope at the Tunnels in April but couldn't travel due to the restrictions so you kindly worked with us to find
                a new date at the end of May. The day was perfect from start to finish, your staff were amazing, friendly, proactive and
                were on top of everything. The venue was beautiful and the views took our breath away (one guest actually cried when she
                first saw it).

                Every email was answered within hours, every request or idea was welcomed. We simply cannot fault a single thing and if
                we had to go back and start planning it all again we would not do one thing differently. You gave myself, Stuart and our guests
                such a wonderful and unique experience which we will remember and treasure for the rest of our lives.

                Thank you again from all us Richardsons and our guests."

                from the rain stopping just before so we could get married outside, to the amazing food and attentive staff. We were so happy
                to be able to go ahead and get married at your beautiful venue after having to postpone last year, it really is the most special
                location. We had an amazing day with our family and close friends and wouldn't have changed a thing.

                It's just a dream venue and we would love to return one day. Wishing you all the best and hope things are properly back to
                normal for you all soon..."

"We were due to get married last October at Tunnels Beaches, but were postponed to April 2021 due to Covid. Unfortunately,
                restrictions meant that we had to postpone our April date too. However, we really wanted to get the legal stuff out of the way,
                and Jamie and his team were so accommodating of this! They volunteered their venue as our elopement venue, and we were
                able to say our vows with our best friend and our children by our side. Jamie and his team have been so lovely and helpful.
                With everything going on they’ve remained friendly, positive and understanding - even when late night stress emails were fired
                their way.

                Our elopement was beautiful, the venue is just divine, and we were so grateful to have had the opportunity to say ‘I do’ to such
                a sensational backdrop. How lucky are we to have something so gorgeous on our doorstep!! We are so excited that we get to have
                Tunnels again for our ‘big wedding’ in October - everyone who has seen our photos or video have commented on how gorgeous
                the venue is and we agree!

                Thank you so much Jamie and the girls. You took a stressful, uncertain situation and turned it into something magical for us.
                We are now counting down the days until we get to do it all again with you, and our family and friends! Thank you, thank you,
                thank you!!"

"Tunnels Beaches is one of North Devons hidden treasures. From the moment we walked through the Tunnels entrance and into
                the tunnel itself we knew we had found a very special place. Walking out of the first tunnel, to the private hidden away venue
                in the rocks - with its own private beach, was such a WOW factor!! So beautiful and peaceful with views of natural stunning
                scenery. It's an amazing backdrop and very atmospheric hearing the waves so close.

                The venue and its surroundings are meticulously kept and are so unique. The staff provided professionalism every step of the
                way - before, during and after our wedding.

                We had such an amazing experience at Tunnels Beaches for our Elopement wedding. Truly very magical in a way in which we
                will never forget. We only decided to get married in September 2020 and planning from start to finish was within 3 months.
                We were so very lucky to have had our special day in December 2020 during the Covid-19 Pandemic and between lockdowns.

                The team were fantastic - the whole experience was so relaxed and easy and their expertise in what they do best showed.

                Whether choosing an intimate elopement, or a fully blown wedding with 120 guests, I can't imagine a more romantic setting.
                Thank you, it was a stress free experience for a very nervous bride to be."

"Planning a wedding in a pandemic was something no bride could prepare for. Nick and I were truly gutted when we had to
                postpone our 'big wedding' to the following year. But in a world full of uncertainty we were certain we still wanted to get married.
                That's when we found Tunnels Beaches, and although it was 280 miles away we fell in love.

                After booking a full wedding at another venue, I wasn't sure what to expect but within a few emails and lots of amazing advice
                on the local area, we were booked in!

                The team were so accommodating to us especially with it being booked a little over a month before our date! On the day we felt
                welcomed, well informed and looked after. The first time I saw the venue was walking through the tunnel and seeing Nick waiting
                there for me, It was so much better than any of the photos, I felt like I was in a movie. The moody weather weirdly made the day
                even more perfect. The venue, although big, felt intimate with just the two of us and our dog!

                Choosing to elope in such uncertain times was for sure meant to be! My only regret in life is that we had already committed to
                our original venue as Tunnels Beaches would have been the perfect venue for 'I Do : Part Two' with all our guests!"

"We first viewed Tunnels Beaches before the pandemic and fell in love. The views, location and elopement package were exactly
                what we wanted. Due to the lockdown restrictions we had to re-arrange the date, but the staff were so accommodating and even
                let us add 2 more guests (we had 6 altogether). Even our dog was allowed at the venue which made our day extra special!

                It was truly the most wonderful day of our lives. Everything went to plan thanks to the great organisation from the staff and the
                photographs show you how stunning the venue is. We could not have wished for a better day."

"We were originally meant to get married at the venue in April 2020, but unfortunately this couldn't go ahead due to the
                Coronavirus pandemic. We still wanted to have our wedding at Tunnels Beaches due to how beautiful the venue was, it was
                just a matter of when with the ongoing uncertainty.

                Later in the year we booked the elopement option at short notice for September. The day felt intimate, relaxed and the sun
                was shining for us so we had the ceremony outside. Though we sadly weren't able to have all of our family and friends there
                as originally planned we still had a very special day.

                We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tunnels Beaches as a wedding venue. The team dealt with an unprecedented situation very
                professionally and couldn't help enough to get us happily married. We can't wait to visit again on our holidays to Ilfracombe."

"We recently had our wedding at your beautiful venue, we just wanted to say a special thank you to Naomi and Jacs who were
                the two staff members on site. They were so helpful and super friendly especially towards our two children. They really helped
                make our special day feel so relaxed and stress free.

                Our day was everything we wanted it to be and more we cannot thank you enough. The venue is so beautifully decorated which
                was a great added bonus to us as an elopement package."

"We searched for a wedding venue for months and months. We could never find anything that had the relaxed, laid back vibe
                that we wanted, in a beautiful location and with organised staff we felt we could trust with our special day. Then we went to
                Tunnels Beaches! Everything about it was perfect from the moment we first saw it. Being from South Wales, we didn't really
                have any connection to the location but we were drawn to it's coastal beauty and the incredible setting. We loved that you could
                stay on site (we stayed in The Courtyard), it really made a weekend of the whole occasion and we got to spend extra special
                time with our closet friends and family.

                We got married in Nov. 2019, even though it was a very wet and windy weekend the dramatic coastline and beautiful venue
                was still absolutely perfect. It's stunning inside and out, we barely had to decorate, the views speak for themselves. We had
                about 60 guests and the venue felt both intimate and full. The staff at Tunnels cannot do enough for you, they are so
                attentive and supportive but also give you space to do your own thing. We viewed so many venues that projected their view
                of what our wedding should be on us, and we never experienced this with Tunnels, they were so great. They were very helpful
                on the lead up to the wedding, replying to countless (I am sure annoying!) emails due to my bridal nerves, putting my mind
                at ease and always having the answers. They were helpful when we arrived and on the day of the wedding, always on hand
                and so welcoming. They even helped us manage our playlists and music.

                Special mention - The food was EPIC. People still talk to us about how incredible the food was. They even got in a special
                request flavour of ice cream for us. I hope we get invited to another wedding there because next time, I'm taking tupperware
                and bringing that delicious food home!!

                Thank you Tunnels. We are so grateful."

"My husband and I visited the North Devon coast every year and had looked at the Tunnels Beaches website a number of times,
                thinking about the future. During an annual visit to the coast in 2018, we decided to view a couple of venues, deciding
                unequivocally that Tunnels was definitely the venue for us to get married... Finally (after 13 years)!

                Looking back on our wedding day now and the process of planning the wedding with Tunnels, was the most stress-free experience,
                completely contradicting what I thought it would be. Jamie, Catherine and Tanya made the planning process so easy, efficient
                and straightforward, clearly coming from a place of knowing exactly what they are doing.

                The day itself, of course flew by so quickly, but went by without fault and in our eyes was more perfect than we ever could have
                expected. The Tunnels team ensured that our requirements were met and we didn't have to worry about a thing, even with our
                4 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old children running around.

                The venue and its setting are so unique, beautiful, relaxed and of course unpredictable... By this I mean the weather and seascape.
                We married on 31st October 2019, therefore there was no guarantee of good weather but we never worried about this because
                the setting is so dramatic and changeable and this is part of the charm of the place and the reason why we love the area.

                The food was amazing, everyone wished they could have eaten more, the staff were amazing and our day was perfect, we can't
                wait to come back and re-live our memories of the day."

"We never dreamed we would find a wedding venue as perfect as Tunnels Beaches. The moment we walked into the venue we
                knew it was the only place we wanted to get married. The stunning view was just the start. Amazing as it is, the venue, the staff,
                the attention to detail, everything, was just perfect and the combination of all that and the relaxed vibe and AMAZING food
                meant we had more than the day we could imagine.

                The day ran so smoothly and effortlessly. Our guests were really impressed with everything. The team at Tunnels have it nailed.
                Jacs and her staff were fantastic. It was a beautiful, beautiful day. We hope to return to renew our vows and honestly can’t wait
                to do so.

                Thanks for an unforgettable day, guys. We won’t ever forget it."

"My wife taught me to surf at Woolacombe beach in Sep 2017, we got engaged at the same spot in Dec 2017! In excitement
                of the day we looked up outdoor UK venues to get married; Tunnels Beaches was listed 5 miles away - it was the first and only
                place we visited. We booked immediately. There is something truly magnificent about Tunnels and those who have had their
                wedding there or been to someone’s there will know exactly what we mean! The location is down right stunning - think ultra-cool
                venue meets ‘Bond Lair’ and you are some way there.

                Despite Yellow weather warnings and torrential rain on the day until 45 mins before the ceremony, Tunnels management and
                experience meant we got to get married outside (of course everything was prepp’d in case of a last minute change)! Every guest
                has commented (and some still do) that it was the best wedding ever - we would of course say that - but it was down to the
                overall professionalism of the entire team at Tunnels - cleaners to chefs and beyond.

                The food is something they really pride themselves on and they should! Again our guests still mention it... and one mother wishes
                there were more photos of the food too!

                The venue has so much to offer and you will struggle to find anything more unique - you can see that from the photos - but Tunnels
                is the entire team! From Jamie and Catherine who helped us pull it all together to Jacs who delivered on the day. The whole day
                ran like clockwork without us or even the wider bridal party having to worry about a thing! Nothing was ever too much, everything
                was pre-empted and they would always try and accommodate requests within their bounds. Our photographer (Robin Goodlad)
                and florist (Sweet Williams) are all Tunnels recommendations and helped make our day the best ever!

                The venue, the accommodation, the service - everything is simply outstanding! Our best day ever with the most fantastic memories!"

"We chose Tunnels Beaches for our wedding in October 2019. It's the first wedding venue we visited and we did not view any
                others. It's a breathtaking venue.

                I happen to be a wedding photographer - and over the decades have visited many lovely wedding venues across the UK and abroad.
                I have never been to a wedding venue and felt as special as Tunnels made us both feel. Their attention to detail, knowledge and
                professionalism is the best I have ever come across. Nothing was a problem to any of the amazing people who work there. The
                entire team at Tunnels Beaches made us feel totally at ease with any requests/questions we had... We always knew we were in
                safe hands.

                As for the day itself - it was awesome and exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible and guests are still commenting
                on it was the best and most unique wedding they had been too. We cannot wait to share our wedding photos when we receive
                them with our amazing venue. Thanks so much - to Jamie, Tanya, Catherine and the entire team for helping us create one of
                the most memorable days that we will treasure forever!"

"We drove past the entrance to Tunnels Beaches years ago and it always stuck in our minds, but we never got the chance to go in.
                We took a chance and booked without ever seeing the venue, and we were not disappointed!

                Tunnels was absolutely everything we could have hoped for in a venue - the relaxed atmosphere, stunning scenery and excellent
                service from start to finish. The team were on hand and guided us through the planning process so it was incredibly easy and we
                never had to experience any wedding stress in the lead up even though we were living on the other side of the world (New Zealand).

                The day was perfect, and our guests were in love with the scenery - they finally understood why we had booked a venue so far away!
                They were blown away by the food especially, we heard so many times over that it was the best wedding food they had ever had!

                Booking the accommodation for the weekend was really the icing on the cake, and meant that we could spend those precious extra
                days with our nearest and dearest, celebrating the best weekend of our lives. Thank you Team Tunnels for giving us the wedding
                of our dreams!"

                everyone was so organised, calm, patient and effortlessly polite (probably all the things I wasn't on the day hahaha!)

                The food was INCREDIBLE - I completely mis-timed having my dress tightened! Our guests are still talking about the day even
                now and have all commented how wonderful the team, the food, the venue and the sunset all were. You were right about the
                cheese - Simon and I are still working our way through it and it's delicious!

                I genuinely had the best day of my life so I really cant thank you enough for making that happen so seamlessly and without issue.
                You've got a fab crew who are a real asset to your business. We'll most definitely be back to visit!..."

"When we got engaged we knew straight away that we wanted to get married near the beach, so after a little research we
                booked viewings at our two favourites, the first being Tunnels Beaches and the second a venue in Ibiza (fearing the worst of
                the British weather!). However, from the second we walked into Tunnels on a cold and overcast day in March we fell in love
                with it, and both said that if we hadn't booked our flights to Ibiza we wouldn't have even bothered going!

                Our wedding day was like a dream come true and we loved every second! We did luck out with the weather (sunny and 20°C
                in the middle of September!), but even without that you just can't fault the beautiful venue, which speaks for itself and the
                amazing staff that make it what it is. They were always on hand to answer any questions we had and went above and beyond
                both before and on the wedding day, nothing was ever too much trouble.

                And then the incredible houses, we booked The Courtyard and The Bath House, which meant all of our family and close friends
                could stay with us on and around the wedding, which was just the icing on the cake.

                We cannot recommend this venue enough, so many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to (and was
                the most amazing wedding food they had ever eaten!) So thank you Tunnels, you are a special place that will always have a
                place in our hearts and has given us memories that will last a lifetime - our only wish is that we could do it all over again!"

"Our experience of Tunnels Beaches from start to finish was simply outstanding. From our first visit to the venue and meeting
                with Jamie we were instantly convinced to hold our wedding day at Tunnels. The venue speaks for itself, the views and quality
                of the setting are unbelievable. Added to that Jamie and the team were so helpful, friendly and accommodating to our random
                questions. Once booked we continued with numerous questions and all were answered straight away with clear information and
                nothing was too much trouble to try and make our day go as we wanted.

                Once the big day arrived The Woodlands house was simply stunning and felt like home straight away. It is so well equipped and
                just beautifully decorated throughout, just to our taste! Our big day was relaxed and informal, but intimate and private, just
                as we wanted. With Jacqui helping to run the timings and ensuring we could enjoy the day, everything ran like clockwork.
                We received so many comments about the venue, not just the views but the different spaces available and probably the most
                about the quality and quantity of the food!!

                The venue is really everything you could ever ask for, we can't thank you enough for helping to make our special day just perfect.
                We look forward to visiting in years to come and wish we could do it all again!!"

"We would like to thank everyone at Tunnels Beaches for making our wedding so magical. It blew our expectations away and really
                was the best day ever. We were very lucky with the weather on the day and this just added to the beautiful scenery. All our guests
                were blown away by the location and many profile pictures were taken that day.

                Our guests are still raving about the food and our families loved staying in The Courtyard for the weekend, which just added an
                extra special touch to the weekend.

                From the moment we booked the venue, communication was fantastic and we were always made to feel at ease and very welcome
                on the several trips to the venue beforehand. The staff were really professional and friendly, they ensured the day flowed well.
                We want to say thank you again and it really was the best day of our lives."

"Tunnels Beaches is one of the most magical places on our planet, it’s a hidden gem, from the road you see a modern property
                and classic columns to this tunnel that leads to the vast views of the ocean and magnificently made building. You can see from
                the photos it’s going to be extraordinary but nothing comes close to when you see it in person.

                Years ago we dreamt of getting married by the sea, with a really relaxed unfussy location with modern accommodation for our
                family and guests and Tunnels ticked every box. We wished for a wedding with an atmosphere, music, delicious food and great
                people and we were lucky enough to get our wish.

                So let’s start with the atmosphere, we were blessed to have magnificent weather on our day to enable us to marry outside,
                Tunnels cater for all the sound requirements during the ceremony so everyone can hear all that gets said alongside the waves
                crashing against the rocks (magical). Then they have a full sound system so if you have a performer for canapés then the
                music travels beautifully around the space so everyone is together, this continues throughout and certainly amplifies when
                it comes to the evening party. Whether you’re dancing outside or inside you are certainly going to have a great night.

                The food, wow a quote from my friend ‘oh my god this food is way better than my own wedding’. We loved the BBQ it’s the
                best way to feed people without any stress, you are catering for everyone with no worries, people can eat as much or as little
                as they want and they are eating what they want. We had so much praise on how colourful, varied and flavoursome the food
                was. It was truly delicious.

                On to drink... My parents gift was to put some money behind the bar and I must admit the guests loved it, a lot of people had
                to travel and pay for accommodation so we thought it would be a nice thank you, well everyone loved it! The drinks package
                was perfect with pimms and beers and then the wine too it lasted all the way until the evening, and the venue were brilliant
                as they saved the bottles after dinner for people to have on the evening too. We were all very merry!

                The staff, well from the booking, to the viewing, to the day, I can’t stress enough how wonderful the process was, we all have
                these silly little questions we want to ask beforehand and so I would build a few up write them on an email and get a reply really
                quickly. My biggest thing was that I’m a bit of a control freak and worried about the day being perfect, the timing of all the
                things I had planned including the entertainment and getting shots of the sunset and guess what the staff just took that onboard
                and I didn’t have to think about a thing, everyone was so helpful, friendly and kind hearted it really was a pleasure dealing with
                everyone at Tunnels Beaches. Big thanks to Catherine, Tanya and Jacs.

                The accommodation (we had 'The Woodlands') is dreamy, modern, super clean and huge; they had weddings before and after our
                day and we didn’t see anyone.

                We genuinely had the best day of our lives, seamless and perfect. Thank you Tunnels Beaches for making such an imprint on our
                lives, we can’t wait to come back..."

"As soon as we visited Tunnels Beaches, Nath and I just looked at each other and we both just knew it was the place to get
                married for us.

                We had the absolute best day ever! I could not fault it. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding that they had ever
                been to! Which is the best compliment and such a lovely thing to be told. The day ran seamlessly and you didn’t even notice
                the team working hard in the background.

                The Tunnels Beaches staff were just incredible from start to finish. The food, the venue and the staff were just fantastic and
                the weather was on our side too! I recommend the monk fish and king prawn skewers (people are still talking to me about
                them even now). The bar staff even joined in dancing behind the bar to our DJ! It was a great moment!

                Thank you Tunnels Beaches for being everything we could have wished for in a wedding venue and so much more. Can we do
                it all again please?!"

"At first, getting married by the beach in the UK felt like a compromise to us. We’d initially considered Ibiza but with a small
                child and large group of friends it simply wasn’t practical. We were so wrong, tying the knot at Tunnels Beaches was everything
                we could have dreamt of and more. The venue set up is stunning, we were lucky to be blessed with September sunshine on the
                day, and when it got a bit windy the blankets available kept the chill off the guests. The views are simply stunning, we could
                have been anywhere in the world and can’t wait to see our photos and relive the day.

                In the lead up to the day, Tanya and the team were excellent, speedy responses to any query and no question was considered silly.
                We rented The Bath House and The Courtyard for the weekend of our wedding which I would highly recommend. Both houses were
                stunning, every room was beautiful - it was better than a boutique hotel and offered us the opportunity to really make a weekend
                of our wedding and enjoy a bit more of North Devon.

                Every testimonial you read raves about the food, we hate to be unoriginal but they are so right. From the canapés (we had scones)
                to the ice-cream, the BBQ to the sausage and bacon baps, everything was fresh and delicious. More than a few of our guests
                commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever had.

                The staff before and during the day were amazing, nothing was too much to ask of them - keeping my stress levels to a minimum.
                Service at the bar was speedy and friendly, despite almost 100 guests to serve. After finding out we were expecting our second
                child a mere fortnight before the wedding, the team helped massively by keeping my gin glass topped up with soda all day and night.
                We opted to have a playlist for our big day, music is a big part of our lives and we wanted to select each and every song - the team
                manned the playlist to the letter for us. Your day is unlikely to pass with no hitch, but any small issues which arose on the day were
                dealt with so quickly and quietly, we were unaware until the following days.

                A huge thank you to the whole team at Tunnels for helping us achieve the wedding day of our dreams!"

"We searched everywhere for a UK beach wedding, Tunnels Beaches was the first venue we looked at and straight away we knew
                it was the perfect place. From the first initial meeting to the actual wedding day, the help and communication has been first class,
                we couldn’t of asked for more, with every fine detail covered.

                On the day itself everything ran smoothly with a lot of help and support from the venue. It did rain during the ceremony which
                meant we had to get married indoors but it didn’t take any shine off the day as the ceremony is as fantastic inside as it is outside
                with an amazing view to look at.

                The food is brilliant and plenty of it. The staff throughout the day were all fantastic and someone was always on hand to help make
                sure everything ran smoothly.

                Guests will definitely not be disappointed by this venue, all our guests were blown away by how unique and beautiful it is."

"Our original plan was to get married in Barbados. By chance we visited Tunnels Beaches after visiting family in Cornwall.
                Tunnels was still in the middle of building The Courtyard. The place was a building site… There and then we booked our
                wedding for the 4th September 2019. After stepping into the venue, looking out at the ocean there was no way we were
                leaving without being in Tunnels' diary. Perfect.

                When we returned almost two years later all accommodation was completed and looked stunning. We hired the three
                properties for three nights and our guests were more than happy.

                Our day was perfect. The staff, the food, could not be faulted. We felt very lucky and it truly was the best three days of our
                lives. It took us nearly 20 years to tie the knot, turns out it was well worth the wait.

                Anyone who asks about our day I simply say 'magical'."

"We first visited Tunnels Beaches on a very cold rainy day in March 2017. We were amazed with the breath taking view from the
                wedding venue and knew it was so unique and unlike any other wedding we had been to before, even in the rain we were sold
                immediately. We wanted the wedding to be a weekend affair and having onsite accommodation was very important to us. When
                we initially booked, the only available accommodation was The Bath House however by the time our wedding was due to come
                round we were informed that there would be two additional houses on site, The Courtyard and The Woodlands. We booked all
                three houses and were able to have 54 guests stay on site.

                Jamie, Tanya and Jacs were so accommodating and allowed us to visit the venue several times prior to the wedding which really
                helped with planning. All of our guests commented on how stunning the accommodation was. We had a pre-wedding party the
                night before our wedding and paid for the Chef to come in to cook paella for everyone, which was delicious!

                We were very lucky with the weather on the day, and were able to get married outside. I cannot express enough how helpful all
                of the staff were on the day, my drink was always topped up and they even carried my dinner plate upstairs for me. The canapés
                and BBQ were gorgeous; I cannot fault a single part of it. The feedback from guests has been amazing.

                I spent months making a playlist for the day and we booked Paul, The Wedding Spinner for the evening. He was fantastic and the
                dance floor was literally full all night!

                To summarise - it was all perfect and I would recommend the venue to anyone. I'm not sure I have ever seen a more beautiful sunset.
                Thank you for making our day so special."

"Thank you so much for making our special day so awesome. We fell in love with Tunnels Beaches as soon as we saw the venue.
                Right from booking we felt we were being looked after by seasoned wedding planners and we were right. Every detail is gone through.

                The food at weddings is always a biggie and our guests said how fantastic it was and it was truly amazing thank you. The venue is
                just stunning, the food awesome and the team so lovely. Thank you to Jamie, Tanya and Catherine and your team for all your hard
                work and friendliness. We had such a mind blowing fantastic time and we can’t recommend this venue enough."

Awaiting full testimonial, but here's a snippet...

                "Thank you so much to all the staff at Tunnels Beaches who made our big day so special. We felt so at home there from the
                moment we arrived, as did all of our guests. The venue was spectacular, the food was phenomenal (lots of people have told
                us it was the best wedding food they've ever had) and the entire day ran without a single hiccup.

                If we could do it all again, we wouldn't change a thing."

"Myself and Stacey had the best day and our guests are still talking about it now and are saying it was by far the best wedding
                they had been to and the location was stunning. From start to finish it was perfect and the venue was simply beautiful.

                The food was delicious and the accommodation was amazing. We stayed in The Bath House and we didn't want to leave!

                Thank you to the Tunnels Beaches team for your help from start to finish. It was relaxed and informal which is what we wanted.
                Everybody that was a part of our day couldn't big it up enough. We look forward to visiting again soon..."

"We fell in love with Tunnels Beaches as soon as we saw it on a rainy November day back in 2017 and unfortunately it was rain
                that greeted us on our wedding day in August as well! The staff at Tunnels were brilliant at reassuring me that the day would
                still be special and they certainly were right! So many guests even commented that they had a better view for the indoor
                ceremony than if it had be outside, which I totally agree with.

                We booked The Courtyard and The Woodlands for the weekend, which really made the whole weekend even more special and
                is something that we definitely recommend. I was so chilled on the morning of the wedding as I had so many of my loved ones
                around me. We had all of our guests back to The Woodlands the day after the wedding for some lunch in the sun! This was
                a brilliant way of ending the celebrations and really took the pressure off trying to get round to speak to everyone on the
                wedding day, which is impossible!

                All of our suppliers were brilliant, Changing Faces for hair and make up – Anna and Sarah made me feel a million dollars! Flowers
                by Natasha at Pumpkin and Pye were stunning. She was brilliant throughout the whole process, I loved our Facetime chats, mainly
                when we got on to talking about cats! She was brilliant on the morning, talking me through the different options because of the
                weather. Amy Sampson captured the wedding beautifully. I completely forgot that she was there, generating some beautifully
                natural shots. Simon Cotter from Willow Films was also great, and a wonderful surprise from my husband to be on the morning
                of the wedding! Both Amy and Simon were happy to brave the weather with us down on the beach for some brilliant shots!
                Ride the Wave were excellent at getting the party started, and continued throughout the night!

                Despite the weather we still had an incredible day. Guests have said that it was the most amazing wedding venue they have ever
                been to and definitely the best wedding food they’ve had. The staff were brilliant throughout the whole process – Jamie’s response
                rate to my million questions was incredible and really helped reduce my stress levels. On the day and through to the evening all of
                the staff were brilliant at helping the wedding run smoothly.

                It wasn’t the day that I had imagined on the lead up to the wedding, but it was still the best day of my life. Anyone who is worried
                about booking Tunnels because of the unpredictable British weather – go for it! The inside option is still stunning and we have some
                beautiful pictures.

                Thank you Tunnels - it will always hold a special place in our hearts and we are looking forward to visiting for many years to come."

"From the moment we accidentally stumbled across Tunnels Beaches over 3 years ago on a walk, we just knew this was where
                we had to get married one day and our dreams came true. It did not disappoint one bit, we didn’t need to consider any other
                venues… this was the one! From the first meeting with Jamie (friendliest guy ever), to the many emails to and from with
                Tanya over the build up, to the actual day with Jacs rocking the organisation, everything was perfect!

                Everything about Tunnels Beaches is so dreamy; the venue is stunning, the view is breathtaking and the food is the absolute best!!

                We booked The Courtyard for ourselves and immediate friends and family to stay in for the weekend which we would highly
                recommend doing. On the Friday night we had over 60 people round for a Pimms and Paella pre-wedding party which was so much
                fun and a great way to welcome your guests to the wedding weekend. The paella was organised by Tunnels and cooked by one of
                their chefs and it was absolutely delicious!

                Nothing was too much trouble for Jamie and his team and everything was dealt with in such a calm and relaxed manner, making
                us feel constantly at ease. After weeks of sunshine a storm was forecast for our wedding day, we woke up to horrific rain and
                strong winds. As massive beach lovers, sun worshipers and travellers we just HAD to get married outside by the sea and by some
                miracle come 2.30pm the rain had stopped and the sun was out! Jacs and the team had set up inside and outside for a ceremony
                so we were covered either way and both looked stunning.

                Natasha from Pumpkin and Pye was our florist and she worked all morning in the storm to make the most incredible flower arch
                for us. She is the sweetest lady and I fell in love with her right away. She 100% had our vision and made everything just as we
                had wished with zero fuss, the bouquets smelt insane and we had soooo many flowers for guests to take home as they left. We
                had a photographer (Devon Portfolio) who had never been to Tunnels before which some may say was a risk but it was amazing
                to have her as excited (if not more so) than we were to get down there and start exploring the amazing coastline and venue - our
                pictures are to die for!

                Music is really important to us as we wanted to ensure our guests were entertained for the whole day, we had violinists playing
                in the tunnels as guests arrived (which I could hear as I was getting dressed) and it was so magical. We had Ollie Stephens
                playing before, during and after our ceremony and his voice is insane, bringing the relaxed vibes we wanted. In the evening we
                had the band Mafia 4 who ensured the entire wedding party stayed on the dancefloor all night long followed by a silent disco!

                The BBQ - WOW!! Our guests are still talking about the food now, everyone has said it is the best wedding food they have ever
                had and we totally agree. It took us weeks to narrow down our food choices and finalise decisions but wow was it worth it, I loved
                watching our guests come into the room with plates piled high and huge smiles on their faces.

                Everything about Tunnels Beaches is wedding perfect! We would not change a single thing about our day, the photographs speak
                for themselves. Our guests were happy and smiling all day and it was incredible to have everyone we love together in such a
                stunning venue! Thank you Tunnels for the most magical wedding weekend!"

"We had our beautiful wedding at Tunnels Beaches on the 28th July this year and it was absolutely amazing!...

                Ilfracombe is such a special place for us both with many memories from our visits over the years, including our engagement
                down on the beach of Hele Bay so we knew that we had to find a venue that was just as memorable and Tunnels certainly did
                not disappoint!

                After our first visit to Tunnels Beaches during the refurb and addition of the roof terrace we were amazed and fell in love with
                this gorgeous venue, so much so we booked for our wedding the very same day!! The staff were amazing from start to finish,
                answering questions on the run up to the wedding and were extremely organised on the day, ensuring everything went so smoothly!

                The BBQ buffet was delicious and of such a high quality with guests commenting how much they enjoyed this different approach
                to a wedding breakfast!

                The outstanding and purely magical views make this a venue that stands out from the rest and has provided us with memories that
                will last us a lifetime! We can't thank you all enough and will definitely be back to visit and reminisce about our beautiful day!"

"We tied the knot at Tunnels Beaches in July 2019, and cannot recommend them highly enough as a venue. Everything about
                the day went exactly as we had hoped, and we are so grateful to them for all their hard work, which made our day so special.
                The venue is incredible, steeped in history as a Victorian bathing resort, and yet the main building appears modern, slick and
                stunning. The curved design with with wide sweeping panoramic views of the north Devon coastline was perfect; the sunset
                dancing on the water as waves crashed on the beach below was heaven! Several guests were awestruck, and several were
                saying that it felt like we were outside the UK!

                The staff were the most efficient, helpful and friendly bunch you could imagine. As an example, the photographer was blown
                away at the sheer speed with which welcome drinks were distributed after the ceremony - she was singing their praises as she
                see's a lot of weddings! I was impressed at the way staff would always be smiling and checking in on us during the day, and they
                never failed to offer us a drink when they saw us empty handed - it's these small gestures that show that they really want to
                make sure your day is perfect.

                The catering was second to none. The sheer volume and variety of what was on offer was brilliant. The food was colourful,
                delicious and plentiful. Everyone was telling us how they loved the variety of the food. Special dietary requirements were well
                catered for and everyone was well fed. In particular, we loved the lamb kebabs and the squid kebabs were delicious. Several
                guests were pleased that there was the option to go down for seconds!

                The sound system and PA all went very smoothly, and the set up is well connected with music able to be played throughout the
                venue. The band and cabaret act set up and played with no issues or hitches - the system worked perfectly on the day and sound
                quality and volume was exactly what we wanted.

                The pre-wedding and after wedding administration has been a breeze, Jamie and the team have always been so well organised
                and they were happy to answer any question, large or small, in the lead up to the wedding. We always felt we were in capable
                hands, the whole operation is so well organised and slick! Thank you so much to all of the staff at Tunnels Beaches for making
                our day so special."

"After months of planning, organising and fretting about our wedding day, when we arrived at Tunnels Beaches, all our worries
                melted away. Tunnels is a super relaxed, breath-taking and beautiful wedding venue. The staff went above and beyond to ensure
                a smooth day and were so friendly and happy to help. The wedding food was delicious and all the guests commented on how
                wonderful it was, especially for vegans and vegetarians. We had the ice-cream tricycle and the evening pasties too, which are
                delicious.

                Staying in the Bath House and The Courtyard accommodation was also fabulous. The rooms were simple but very beautiful and
                had everything we could need. The adjoining outdoor space was lovely, especially the paella the night before. This went down
                a treat! There was a vegan and a meat paella and everyone said the vegan tasted amazing.

                Absolutely loved getting married at this magical venue and couldn’t have wished for a better place to share our special day
                by the sea! Finally the views are just wonderful and so is the beach for sunset photographs in the evening. Thank you Tunnels!!

                We really loved getting married at such a special venue and will surely be back for anniversaries when visiting from Australia."

"We are still on a high from our wedding day here. We got married on Thursday 25th July 2019. After viewing this location
                in March 2018, I haven't been able to understand why anyone would want to get married anywhere else! It totally surpassed
                our expectations and my jaw dropped when I walked through those gates. I mean, how many people get to walk through an
                incredible tunnel to their wedding?!

                There is such a lovely laid back feel which is what attracted my Husband, he didn't want a formal, typical wedding and a wedding
                at Tunnels is totally different in all the right ways. We had visited the beach the April before and I knew from then that I wanted
                to get married there one day (even before we got engaged!). We didn't view any other venues as we knew nothing would even
                come close! Everything about the process of planning our day was easy and stress free. We exchanged numerous emails and the
                communication was excellent. This put us at ease and we knew that everything was well taken care of. Nothing was too much to ask.

                All of our guests said how amazing the venue was and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We have had nothing
                but positive comments about the day and we know how much everyone enjoyed it. The food was a big highlight, people just
                couldn't get enough of it! The canapés, the BBQ, the ice-creams, all of it was faultless.

                We were fortunate enough to have amazing weather, so hot that our guests had umbrellas for the ceremony. We were able to have
                our first dance outside and our guests were dancing on the terrace until around 11pm. We can well and truly say that we had the
                most amazing wedding day, better than we could have imagined. We will always look back and remember the incredible day we had,
                which wouldn't have been possible without all the staff at Tunnels Beaches. Thank you so much for everything."

"Getting married at Tunnels Beaches was the best thing we have ever decided to do! We booked the venue without seeing it first
                as we lived abroad... If you are in the same position don’t be scared as when you finally walk through the tunnel and see the view
                there is no way you could ever be disappointed!!

                In the lead up to the day nothing was too much and Jamie and the team answered all our questions - no matter how silly they were!
                Nothing about planning our wedding with the team was stressful which is exactly what you need with everything else going on!
                Although we got married mid July, there was a huge storm but this really didn’t matter! We got married inside and it was better
                than we could ever imagine. The atmosphere created from the intimate setting, with our band singing us down the aisle and
                looking out onto the ocean is a moment we will never forget!

                Luckily for us the weather cleared around 5pm and from then on all our guests were outside, on the beach and taking in the
                incredible views! The two cherries on the cake were a breathtaking sunset and having our first dance outside with our guests
                dancing around us with sparklers!

                Our photographer Aga Tomasek was incredible and our photos capture every emotion and second of the day. Our band The Chartz
                played at various points throughout the whole day, they absolutely understood the sentimental vibes we wanted when they sung
                us down the aisle and our first dance but then got the whole party going when the sun went down!

                Tunnels will always have a special place in our hearts and we just wish we could do it all over again!"

"My husband and I chose Tunnels Beaches for our wedding venue based on the testimonials, photos and general vibe of the website.
                We wanted a venue that was contemporary, could accommodate a live band, and had a relaxed atmosphere with excellent food.
                Neither of us had visited the venue, we hadn't ever been to Ilfracombe, and we saw the venue for the first time on the day of our
                marriage. Everyone we spoke to who had either visited or worked at the venue guaranteed that we would have a stunning day.
                And we certainly did.

                The staff are superb. The preparation was not at all stressful due to efficient, friendly and professional email correspondence.
                On the day, the staff did all they could to assist us in the morning as we were setting up. Throughout the day and evening, the
                staff were not only ultra attentive to our needs, but went above and beyond for our guests too. They really have a great team.

                The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful! We had heaps of choice, which catered to every dietary requirement. We just wished
                we could fit more onto our plate. The ice cream tricycle also went down a treat, as did the vegetarian paella later in the evening.

                We chose a florist, photographer and child minder from the Tunnel's recommended professionals list in the FAQ section. We also
                hired a keyboard and sound equipment for the ceremony through a company recommended by Tunnels. This really paid off as their
                experience and knowledge of the venue were invaluable and it provided us peace of mind.

                The size of the venue was perfect for our 70 guests. The weather was perfect which meant we could use the outdoor area for the
                ceremony, speeches and general mingling. The outdoor party games that Tunnels supplied were thoroughly enjoyed by all. This
                venue is also very child friendly, which was a bonus for the small army of children present throughout the day.

                Our day was perfect. We wish we could do it all again. Thank you, Tunnels!"

"Our wedding day was hands down one of the best days of our lives! And this was in large part to the incredible venue and
                staff at Tunnels Beaches.

                We live in New York but Amy is originally from the UK so we wanted to get married back in her homeland. A rustic barn
                or country estate is definitely not our vibe so when we came across Tunnels Beaches we knew immediately that it was right
                for us - a contemporary, stylish venue in a stunning location by the sea. Also a wonderful place for our fiends and family
                from both sides of the Atlantic to come and gather for a long weekend.

                From the very first email Jamie and his team could not have been more helpful. On the day itself the staff made everything
                run like clockwork - it was amazing, we weren't even aware of what they were doing at times because they were so efficient,
                discrete and professional. It all just worked like a very well oiled machine which let everyone just enjoy the day to the fullest.
                We can't speak highly enough of all the staff!

                Ourselves and close family stayed at The Courtyard which made the weekend even more enjoyable. Having the space to spread
                out, especially with 5 young children in the mix was wonderful and it meant that getting ready on the day was a lot less stressful
                being so close to the action!

                So many of our guests commented on the BBQ being the best wedding food they had ever had - and it was divine! All of our
                guests with dietary restrictions were also very well taken care of which was lovely. The ice cream in the afternoon was also
                a really big hit! We have had so many comments that this was one of, if not THE best wedding people have ever been to - which
                is quite a statement!

                Finally all of our vendors were the real icing on the cake to making the day as perfect as it was (as well as the weather which
                defied the cloudy forecast and gave us hours of glorious sunshine!). Natasha at Pumpkin & Pye created a gorgeous modern set
                of bouquets and decorations, the incredibly talented Kate Burt created a modern art cake that was beyond amazing, Elle Hitchins
                and Brigitte Fisher for beautiful make-up and hair respectively, the talented Brass Junkies got the party started in the afternoon
                and then the Wedding Spinner played an unbelievable 5 hour set through the evening. And of course the incredible photos by
                Andy Wardle.

                Thank you Tunnels - it was perfect! We wish we could do it all over again!"

"We chose the Tunnels Beaches as we wanted something different and exciting, and not too formal. As soon as we found the
                website we knew we’d found the one! And the visit just reinforced that.

                The venue is incredible. The view, the vibe, the different levels - it was just perfect. The food was the best we’ve ever had
                at a wedding - in fact we’ve been told numerous times that it was the best wedding lots of our guests had been to.

                The ceremony was special without being too formal - exactly what we wanted and the drinks afterwards with the sun shining
                and sea in the background was just magical. We want to do it all again!!! The best day, ever. Thank you to Jamie and the team.

"We booked the venue a year before the big day and decided on also booking The Courtyard and The Woodlands and turn the
                wedding into a 3 day party! Both houses were full and we started the weekend by having fish and chips delivered on Thursday
                evening for 40+ people and finished it with a BBQ the day after the wedding for a similar number.

                The weather leading up to the day itself had been changeable but as the week wore on the forecast got better and better.
                We woke up on the Friday to fabulous blue skies and an early morning swim! Hannah from Brighteye Beauty did my hair and
                make-up and she was superb! My husband said I looked like a beautiful polished version of myself.

                We wanted to keep things simple so no speeches, best man/bridesmaids, bouquet etc but we did have some flowers on the
                gazebo and on the tables which Twigs Flowers arranged for us. They were excellent and lasted ages, so long that people took
                them home with them on the Sunday!

                We chose Paul from the Wedding Spinner to play the music on the day. Music is very important to us and when we met Paul he
                ‘got us’ immediately. At first, we thought we would just have him for the evening reception but in the end, we decided to book
                him for the whole day. He was brilliant, co-ordinating the music for the ceremony and keeping the party going all day. Because
                the weather was so good, we didn’t really start the evening until around 10 but the dance floor was packed from start to finish.
                He helped make the day perfect and was worth every penny.

                The venue itself is a dream. On a day like we had we could have been anywhere in the Mediterranean. The sea and the sky were
                blue and the sun shone. Jacs and Catherine co-ordinated everything and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent,
                lots of very complimentary comments on the mackerel! Having three floors to spread ourselves out over was brilliant and the top
                floor was a total chill out zone.

                Our guests were blown away by the venue and absolutely loved it. Most had never been to anything like this before and that was
                exactly what we were looking for. Somewhere unique, a little bit different and not stuffy. Tunnels Beaches was the perfect venue
                for us and we are so glad we found you!"

"We got married on Friday 21st June 2019 words can not put in place how amazing our day was. From start to finish the staff
                were simply amazing. We stayed at The Courtyard from the Wednesday - Sunday and so glad we did as gave us time to settle
                in before the big day on the Friday. We had 110 people at the wedding all day and night and the party and atmosphere was
                incredible. The party went on until 2am. We had 'The Wedding Spinner DJ' all day and night who was brilliant and kept the
                party buzzing. The flowers were just simply stunning could not have asked for better we used Pumpkin & Pye. Our photographer
                was Siobhan Beales, our photos are breathtaking. Hair was done by the lovely Brigitte Fisher who is very talented! Makeup was
                by the lovely Amy Elizabeth, she made me feel amazing and kept it simple and elegant.

                The food was out of this world and all guest just kept commented how amazing it was 10/10. The staff at the Tunnels were just
                brilliant and ran everything in the background without us even having a clue it was going on, it all ran so smoothly.

                It was honestly the best day of our lives and we want to do it all again. I watch our videos back and all we can hear is laughter
                all around and in our photos everyone has a constant smile on their face. Tunnels Beaches you honestly are in league of your own.

                Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

"We had a perfect wedding day at Tunnels Beaches. In the run up to the wedding the team were really helpful and accommodating.
                We had a couple of specific requests of which none were too much trouble and we would always come off the phone feeling
                reassured about any concerns we had.

                The day was amazing, having a cold beer or gin and tonic overlooking the spectacular view was always going to be a good way
                to start! The sound system is also a big plus and gives the welcome drinks a really chilled atmosphere and it was a great time
                to get down onto the beach and chat to our guests.

                It was important to us to give our guests a great meal and it didn’t disappoint. Everyone commented on how amazing the food
                was and we couldn’t agree more. It was such a highlight of the day and again to enjoy it overlooking the ocean was really special.
                The menu has such variety so we could cater for all of our guests. The evening was also great, the space is a good size for
                dancing while people can relax outside on the terrace or around the fire. The evening food was also delicious. Throughout the
                whole day the staff were amazing. They were really flexible with timings and made it completely stress free. They worked so
                hard but to us the day just ran itself!

                All of our guests commented on how amazing our wedding was and so many people said it was the best they have ever been to!
                Everyone had such a good day from the children to the Grandparents. We stayed in The Woodlands house which is also incredible
                and made the whole weekend extra special. Thanks Tunnels!"

"We want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the staff at the Tunnels Beaches and also to all of our amazing suppliers for
                making our wedding day a perfect one. From the moment we set eyes on the place, we knew it was where we wanted to get
                married and make memories with our loved ones to last us a lifetime. The venue is just breathtakingly beautiful with a view
                to match - even if we hadn't been lucky with the weather it would have been just as stunning.

                We booked out The Courtyard and The Bath House, which gave us more time with our nearest and dearest (we definitely
                recommend this), and to make the most of the weekend we hosted a 1920s themed party on the Friday!

                On the day, Natasha from Pumpkin & Pye did a really unbelievable job of getting my vision for my flowers completely spot on
                and incorporating the mini oriental theme. I think I gasped as I walked down the aisle when I saw how beautiful the gazebo,
                fire torches and everything else looked. It was better than I could have imagined and I absolutely LOVED my bouquet. It smelled
                the best!

                The staff were amazing and helped with every stage of the process from the initial booking, to answering all our questions,
                the viewings, setting up in the morning, working with suppliers, advising on where props/cake etc should go, incorporating
                our vision and many more things that Catherine, Tanya and Jacs took care of on the day, and that took a huge weight off
                our minds. Nothing was too much trouble for Jamie and his team, and they handled everything we threw at them with a very
                laid back attitude. Attentive from beginning to end, they ensured everyone and everything was in the right place at the right
                time, despite people being spread across three floors. They really know what they are doing so trust the experts when it
                comes to the timing on the day!

                The food was beyond delicious - almost a month on our guests are still raving about it!! One of the hardest things was
                narrowing down what we wanted - there were so many options and they were all great! It was by far the best wedding meal
                we've eaten and so many of our guests have said that's their summer BBQs ruined because they won't be able to live up to it!
                I, for one, piled my plate so high I had to stand up afterwards to breathe after devouring it all!

                From the get go we knew what kind of music we wanted and we had to hunt high and low to find Abi Rose Sax and the right
                kind of DJ. She and Tom from The Wedding Spinner were an absolute SENSATION! They were both incredibly professional and
                pumped up the crowd more than I've ever seen at a wedding. I was so impressed and so proud to have something a little bit
                different! It was better than we could even have dreamt!

                The venue was incredible on the day and knowing we had it to ourselves was so special. It's so gorgeous you don't need to
                go heavy on the props. Our friends and family absolutely loved it and people were smiling from ear to ear all day long. With
                a breakdancing dance-off, a great backdrop, awesome music and great vibes, it's no surprise that the dance floor was
                packed out until it closed. It's testimony in itself that everyone who came is still talking about it, buzzing about what an
                amazing day it was! I kept having to stop and just take everything in - there is nothing like seeing everyone you love together
                in one place having the best time!

                It really was the most incredible weekend, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did. It was seamless and just perfect."

"It was always our dream to have a destination wedding and to ensure that as many of our loved ones would be able to attend,
                as possible. Whilst wedding planning we explored many different venues and location options but I was adamant we had to
                go and see Tunnels Beaches. Availability was low for the dates we had in mind so I had to convince my husband, who didn’t
                want to change the dates or the year, to take the 5 hour journey down south, in the snow storm to go and view it. As soon
                as we walked out of the tunnel nothing else mattered and we both knew this was our wedding venue. Pictures do not do this
                stunning venue the justice it deserves.

                In spite of any dull, cloudy, grey skies or rain, the views were absolutely breath-taking. The accommodation was located within
                close proximity and perfectly sized for all our guests and ourselves and we loved the interior decor. On the day of our wedding,
                despite the fact that the weather was not on our side earlier in the day, we still managed to luckily get married outside and the
                atmosphere at the venue was indescribable and we had the most memorial day.

                The gourmet BBQ was incredible, probably the best BBQ we have ever had and every single one of our guests have said the
                same thing to us. We loved our chosen menu and we now understand why food tastings are not required prior to the day, as
                the confidence in the catering is well justified.

                The professionalism of the entire Tunnels Beaches team was amazing from all the planning right through to the wedding day.
                Communication was faultless, there was always someone on the end of the phone or email to answer any questions and there
                was always someone on hand on the day to make sure everything was exactly as we had hoped and our guests were well looked
                after. We would like to extend our gratitude to the entire Tunnels Beaches team for being so attentive and professional and
                making our day so special, so that we did not have to worry about anything. Even though we did not go abroad for our wedding,
                we certainly had a destination wedding that felt like we were abroad and all our family and friends have said that they will
                always remember our wedding as it was the best they had been to.

                Tunnels Beaches offered us more than we could have ever wished for and thank you is simply not enough."

"From the moment that we visited the Tunnels Beaches, Ilfracombe, we both knew this was the place that we wanted to start
                our wedded journey together. We had already had a wedding venue booked and deposit paid for back in London, but since
                relocating to Ilfracombe we had begun to look at alternatives nearer to us, and The Tunnels Beaches took our breath away
                and we loved it more than our first venue (which we didn’t think could even be possible).

                From the beginning Jamie and his entire team were so helpful. Living locally, I visited often to go see the venue and speak
                to Jamie and Catherine about food options and decoration ideas. They were so obliging and always happy to answer any tiny
                questions that popped into my head. The whole planning experience was made so much easier from having a wonderful team
                to advise and always quick to respond. And minimal decoration is needed, because let’s be honest no one is interested in
                looking at fairy lights and flowers when there are views like that to capture your gaze!

                We hired the Woodlands for the weekend of the wedding, and it was the best decision we could’ve made. The amount of
                comments we had from our guests saying how lovely it was to stay together. We live 4 hours from all our friends and family
                and having that space made that time even more special, and there are memories of staying at The Woodlands that we will
                cherish forever.

                On the day I did not once worry about anything. Jacs and her team were truly unbelievable, always there to help move the day
                along and take care of little details so we both could enjoy the spectacular views and the venue itself. The comments we have
                had about the venue have been amazing. Everyone felt like they were abroad, and don’t even get me started on how fabulous
                our wedding photos are!

                Another thing to mention is the food...!! Not only is there an array of choices, but the quality and quantity of it was magnificent.
                No one went hungry and feedback from our guests were great. I’m praying we get invited to a wedding there soon just to
                experience the food again!

                If you want a truly unique, laid back and hassle free wedding, the Tunnels Beaches is by far your best choice. We wish we could
                have our day again, as it was utterly perfect!

                Thank you again to Jamie, Catherine, Jacs and the rest of the Tunnels Beaches team!"

"After visiting nine other venues, that didn't quite make us feel like we had found the one, we finally visited Tunnels Beaches
                and fell in love with it. The setting is just stunning. You have all the elements of a relaxed beach wedding, but with none of
                the downsides (what do you do if it rains, what footwear should we wear on the sand, having to check the tide times).

                Set in the cliffs, the venue is beautifully decorated and has the most amazing sea views. The sun sets over the beach, which
                is perfect for golden hour photographs down on the sand. The team are all so brilliant and easy to communicate with and
                ensure you have the most relaxed day. The food was incredible, all of our guests said how delicious it all was.

                We stayed in The Courtyard and The Bath house and all of the rooms are stunning. Having the three nights was brilliant as it
                meant we could spend time with everyone, (the wedding day goes by so quickly!) We had paella in The Courtyard the evening
                after our wedding and it was great – like a second wedding day! Nobody wanted to leave.

                The venue is one of the biggest expenses of the wedding day, if not the biggest, but every penny we spent at Tunnels Beaches
                was worth it. We had the best weekend of our lives and would do it again it a heartbeat."

"From the first viewing over two years ago when Catherine showed us around we fell in love with Tunnels Beaches. Everyone
                was so friendly and helpful and what we loved most was how relaxed you made us feel. It was a completely different experience
                to places we looked at closer to home around London.

                On the day we both felt totally calm, knowing everything was in Jac's safe and super organised hands. Hayley was also brilliant.
                We didn't care if we got married inside or outside in the end and we're actually glad now that it was inside. The guests commented
                on how amazing it was facing out towards the view of the sea and the beautiful flowers (Sweet Williams) on the arch was great
                because it stayed up all day and framed all our photos. All the suppliers recommended on your site were just brilliant, and made
                it easy to plan the day with us being over 4 hours away. We used Nibble & Scoff for our incredible cake and Inbetween Days was
                one of the best decisions we made for our photographers. Photos with the granite cliffs, the sea wall and then the beautiful
                orange and pink sunset are just something you cannot get anywhere else.

                We want to extend a big thank you to the Chef who catered for all our guests dietary requirements so well and came up with
                extra vegan options for us. It was literally the best BBQ we have ever had and our guests all commented how delicious the food
                was. I think everyone's eyes lit up when we walked back in to the room with our stacked plates of food from the BBQ and they
                knew they were going to eat well! We thought we were too full for dessert but we cleaned our bowls haha. Now we've gone
                into summer some people aren't even that excited about having a BBQ because they say it'll never be as good as our wedding!

                The staff on the night were so fun, very friendly, helpful and attentive. I have great memories of everyone on the second floor
                raving to some epic tunes played by Paul (The Wedding Spinner) including the staff behind the bar dancing. The atmosphere
                was amazing! We also stayed at The Woodlands with our family which was a big hit, beautifully decorated and clean and it was
                so convenient being so close to the venue.

                So, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, we had the most incredible day and can't have imagined doing it anywhere else in the world.
                Wish we could do it all over again!!"

"Well, where to start! From start to finish Tunnels Beaches made our perfect day even more perfect than we could ever have
                imagined: the setting is breathtakingly beautiful, the venue is just amazing, the food the best we've ever had at a wedding
                (as stated by all the guests also), the staff are faultless and the weather... well, let's just say somewhere the sun Gods were
                blessing us.

                From the beginning of the day we were made to feel so calm and comfortable with Jacs helping us to sort everything and giving
                Phil and I space to enjoy and soak up every moment; we were staying in The Courtyard accommodation it allowed us the space
                and time to keep everything organised and enjoy spending time with our loved ones before and after the ‘big’ day itself!
                Equally, Jamie and his team have worked so well to create accommodation that is cool, modern and stunning each space with
                its own nod to the wedding venue itself. This enabled us to make the wedding of our dreams become an event for everyone
                to enjoy. Tunnels Beaches is the only place we would ever have got married as it matches our chilled, laid back style and it was
                a seamless journey up until the special day; the staff are so well versed in dealing with everything from booking, to the big day
                itself, taking away all the worry and working tirelessly to make your day the best ever.

                Once dressed and ready, the team made the transition into the ceremony calm and comfortable and gave me the extra time
                needed to ensure everyone was ready to wow! And boy, does the venue wow! Walking down the ‘aisle’, overlooking the immense
                craggy coastline of Tunnels was more than I ever expected; it was overwhelming to think we were so lucky to be declaring our
                love to each other in this beautifully stunning, hidden gem! From this point on everything was magical... where else can you
                get married and state your vows to the person you love overlooking a vista that is so amazingly individual and stunning.
                We danced, we ate, and we sparkled!

                The pictures show you just how amazing this place is and we are so happy that we were able to spend our special day in a place
                that has been made so special, not only by the view and scenery but also the team who work there; they just make you feel so
                special and so at home!!

                Thank you all so much for everything you did for us on this day; we could not have asked for anything more. Tunnels Beaches
                is a venue of dreams and even if you're not getting married you should visit this hidden gem because you will not understand
                the beauty of it until you do!!"

"We knew as soon as we first visited Tunnels Beaches that this is where we wanted to get married and our wedding day was as
                perfect as we could have wished for.

                Throughout the build up we had many questions of which the Tunnels team responded to quickly, which made things easier and
                less stressful for us.

                The whole day from start to finish ran smoothly and couldn’t have gone any better. Thanks to the team for their hard work and
                help in the background, which meant we didn’t have to worry about anything on the day. Every part of the food was delicious
                and there was plenty to go around.

                We stayed at The Bath House which turned the wedding into a lovely long weekend with our family and friends, the
                accommodation is set out perfect for large groups and we even got to use the BBQ the day after the wedding.

                We were incredibly lucky that the weather for that weekend was beautiful sunshine, which was the icing on the cake!!"

"We had our wedding in April at Tunnels Beaches. The venue and accommodation were stunning. The accommodation fit
                over half of our wedding party and we indulged in the paella evening the day before the wedding. The paella was incredible
                and there was more than enough for people to have seconds. It was a great way to start our wedding celebrations bringing
                family together.

                On our wedding day the sun started to shine just before the ceremony. Everything ran like clockwork and the staff in the
                venue were fantastic - they went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect day.

                I cannot stress how beautiful the venue is, particularly when the sun is shining. It felt like we were abroad and the food was
                the best food we have ever tasted. Wedding guests are still raving about it almost two months later. The firepit added an
                extra ambience in the evening, there were blankets for when it got chilly and we watched the sunset from the upstairs balcony.

                It was magnificent! All in all we couldn't have picked a more perfect venue to begin our lives together. We want to do it over
                and over again."

"When your vision of the perfect wedding venue is to find a modern design, overlooking the sea with a relaxed feel, we thought
                we’d have to compromise on something. Little did we know at the time that Tunnels Beaches had all of that and so much more.
                It was the first and only wedding venue we needed to view, even though our first viewing was on a dreary, cold January day,
                we loved the venue. We were made to feel welcome by Jacs, our wedding co-ordinator, from our very first meeting which
                immediately put our minds at ease. And that’s how it stayed from booking through to the day itself; communication and decision
                making was effortless, with any question or worry answered quickly.

                The majority of our guests stayed in all three houses, which are beautifully presented even though at the time of booking
                The Courtyard was incomplete and The Woodlands was just plans. Staying onsite gave us the opportunity to make a mini-break
                of our wedding where our guests could relax and enjoy the surrounding area with us.

                The day itself ran like clockwork, everything fell into place thanks to the subtlety of Jacs and her team, and we both felt like
                we floated through the day on a wave of happiness. You really couldn’t ask for anything more from your wedding day than that.
                And to top it all off, the food was gorgeous and drink a plenty. We went with the garden party drink package and it was the
                perfect amount for us. We danced through to 1am and snacked on huge pasties later in the evening, which definitely helped
                with the sore heads the next day!

                If we had our day all over again, we wouldn’t change one thing. It really was perfect - thank you so much Jamie, Jacs and the
                rest of the team."

"Tunnels Beaches was the only venue we visited, because as soon as we saw it, we knew it was perfect for us. Right from the
                start Jamie and the team were friendly, helpful and no question was too silly. It really took the pressure off, knowing that so
                many of the small details were already covered by the venue, meaning that we could just enjoy the lead up to the wedding.

                We stayed in The Courtyard and The Bath House over the wedding and we're so glad we did, everyone commented it made
                it so special to be able to spend time together before and after the wedding and the accommodation is stunning, people were
                blown away.

                The wedding day itself went so smoothly, thanks so much to Jacs who was always in the background, making sure things were
                running smoothly without us needing to worry about anything. The food was incredible, we had so many compliments about it
                and there was plenty to go around, Pasties in the evening went down a treat!

                The whole day was perfect, we were lucky enough to have sun all day so we could get married outside, but it would have been
                just as special inside, what a view!

                Thanks so much to Jamie, Jacs, Catherine and all the team for making our day so special, what a special place Tunnels Beaches is."

"Andy and I would like to say a huge thank you for the most amazing day we could have wished for. From the first moment we
                visited the venue we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. The relaxed atmosphere and stunning beach location was
                perfect for us and how we wanted to celebrate with our friends and family.

                The food was delicious and the team went out of the way to make all of our food vegetarian so we could keep the whole wedding
                about us. All of the team looked after us and the guests and were so happy to do anything we needed. Jacs especially was
                absolutely amazing on the day, she was discreet and always checking to make sure I was having a drink and happy.

                We are still having so many compliments about this venue now two months after the wedding as the guests were blown away
                by the beauty and how well it suited us. Thank you to everyone who helped make our wedding day perfect, we completely fell
                in love with your venue and can never thank you enough for letting us have such an awesome day to remember.

                Thank you so much Tunnels, we can't wait to come back for a visit next year."

"Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all the team for making our wedding day so amazing!...

                From the very start of the wedding planning process when we visited the venue until our wedding day the team couldn’t have done
                enough for us, this made the whole wedding planning process very stress free and easy.

                The day itself couldn’t have gone any better, even if we did have storm Callum to contend with! The wedding day ran like a dream,
                the food was out of this world (people are still telling us how amazing the stuffed peppers and pulled pork was), people danced all
                night and the team on the day made sure everything ran perfectly.

                The Bath House and The Courtyard also made the wedding day into a lovely long weekend with our closest friends and family, the
                accommodation is beautiful, you guys really have thought of everything. I also now really want a double shower ha ha!

                We hope to see you all again soon, we will be back to visit the beaches in the Spring..."

"From the first moment we walked into the venue, we looked at each other and instantly knew it was 'the one'! Words cannot
                describe how breathtakingly beautiful the venue is.

                From our initial meeting plus numerous additional viewings, the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, all questions
                answered and a very laid back approach was very reassuring! Special thanks to Catherine, Tanya and Jacs who were faultless
                throughout and are a credit to Tunnels Beaches!

                The food was out of this world. We had read reviews and can honestly say we were not disappointed. Our guests are still
                commenting! The 'Tiger Prawn & Monkfish Skewers' are definitely a must!

                We hired Bath House and The Courtyard for three nights, which I cannot recommend enough. Both properties were immaculate
                and afforded us time to spend with our family and closest friends the night before and after the wedding.

                Our wedding was therefore a three day celebration, was so perfect from start to finish and the weather was beautiful!

                Recommendations for 'Offshore Blooms', 'Pinned to Perfection', 'Claire Makes Cakes' and 'Nova Photography' proved to be
                fantastic and we were overwhelmed by their work on the day.

                Thank you all for being so accommodating and helping to make our day so special. We have memories to treasure for a lifetime!"

                We had a very windy day and the pictures I have are amazing. I was really worried about the weather and still with it not being
                great it was amazing!!

                The food was brilliant, there is so much to choose from and I know we wouldn't have been disappointed with anything. Every
                single guest commented on how great it was!

                The communication was also great... I organised everything through email, visited only once and just turned up on the day!
                It was perfect - the staff were very attentive and friendly and we just didn’t want for anything. Special thanks to Jamie, the

"From the moment we set foot inside Tunnels Beaches we knew it was for us. Our wedding was always about one big party
                with everyone that was super important in our lives and we knew that the Tunnels would be special not just for us, but for
                everyone else too. Somewhere different. Something a little bit unique. Something that was truly 'us'.

                We met Jamie almost a year before our wedding and his relaxed yet confident approach to what they offered clicked with us,
                every question we asked there was an answer straight away, nothing was too much trouble in the lead up and the location,
                well there are simply no words.

                We hired out The Bath House and The Courtyard accommodation too and would say that absolutely made the weekend. So us
                (and the 36 guests staying with us there) arrived on Thursday and Catherine met us and checked us in, quickly, no hassle, the
                party started that night. Our wedding was the following day and myself and my in laws popped down to the venue around 11am
                to see the florist and speak to Jacs who ran our day for us. Credit where it's due, she is in her job for a reason and I had full faith.
                We couldn't have asked for anything else, the best day ever.

                Since our day, we've had endless comments on the relaxed feel of the wedding, the food remains a clear highlight for most, as did
                the band who kept the dance floor full all night."

"What can we say? I don’t think there are words that express how perfect our day was at this very special place. The service,
                staff and AMAZING food only add to the spectacular location.

                Our day was blue skies but ‘windy’ to say the least (we chose to get married outside anyway) and it added to the atmosphere.
                We laughed all day. Our guests were blown away (literally!) by the stunning views. The food was phenomenal, drinks did not
                stop flowing and we danced until we were very kindly kicked out... We didn’t want the day to end.

                We cry happy tears looking back at our pictures and will keep the memories with us forever.

                Thank you, thank you, thank you. Tunnels Beaches was ‘our’ soul mate."

"We cannot thank the whole team at Tunnels Beaches enough for our totally magical wedding day.

                We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and the spectacular venue sparkled in its glory and impressed all of our guests.
                Everyone has said it was an amazingly chilled and relaxed venue and the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Described as
                a secret James Bond lair!

                The food was outstanding. The staff were so attentive, effortlessly seeing to every detail yet almost invisible. They took all
                of the pressure off us, letting us enjoy every second of our big day, from organising all 10 bridesmaids!!, setting the tables,
                displaying our cake and packing all away at the end of the night.

                Roger Styles played an acoustic set at our drinks reception, he totally made the atmosphere and is insanely talented.
                Paul, DJ (The Wedding Spinner), was brilliant and made the party in the evening. Andy Wardle, our photographer, was not only
                the loveliest person to have shared our day with but discreet, creative and we cannot wait to see our photos! Sarah Nardoni
                (recommended babysitter) looked after our 3 year old and is the loveliest, kindest lady. Kai is still talking about her! I think
                everything Jamie and his team recommend is perfection to the end.

                Thank you so so much from us both, for a day we will talk about forever."

"Tunnels was the first and only venue we visited. We booked a visit in with Tanya for early October 2016, prior to the new
                extension and The Courtyard. After being showed around The Bath House and Tunnels Beaches itself we were completely
                in love with it, but it was when we were stood in the little gazebo looking out at the view that we knew 100% that this was
                where we would get married. Words can’t describe the feeling it gives you. We booked The Bath House and Tunnels there
                and then for one of the only weekends they had left in 2018.

                March 2017 Tanya invited us to a wedding fair/open day at Tunnels. This is where we found our musician, Roger Styles and
                our photographer – Anna Pumer. There aren’t many better suited to this venue than those two. Jamie then showed us the
                plans for The Courtyard, which we didn’t hesitate to book.

                From the initial booking to the day, if we had any queries or issues, Tanya or Jamie were always available for us and in the
                weeks leading up to the wedding all the final details are confirmed and the whole process is made quite easy.

                When we arrived, Tanya showed us round and got us checked in, we were particularly excited to see The Courtyard at last.
                Then we were able to greet the rest of our guests staying there. We opted for the 'Meet & Greet Paella' the night before
                and it was one of the nicest meals we’ve ever had, most of our guests went back for seconds and thirds.

                On the wedding morning Jacs was a massive help, organising the day and taking a lot of the stress away so we could focus
                on the important things and in the evening Pete took over and he helped sort the Band, dish out the cake and made sure the
                evening went smoothly. They both deserve a special mention and thank you.

                The Gourmet BBQ, Canapés and Pasties were all amazing, people are still talking about the food. Same as the Paella the night
                before, people were going back for thirds.

                We’d just like to thank Jamie, Tanya and the amazing team at Tunnels Beaches for the best weekend and Wedding ever.
                We can’t wait to come back and visit!..."

"We decided we wanted to get married by the sea and we quickly came across Tunnels Beaches and knew instantly this was the one!
                We arranged a meeting to see the venue and immediately fell in love with it. It’s the sort of venue that would look stunning
                whatever the weather, so if it rained on our wedding day it wouldn’t matter! As it happened we were very lucky with the weather
                and the sun was out all day. The staff were excellent from the second we got there right through to the very end.

                The food was outstanding, I had guests come up to me all night commenting on how yummy it was. Some of our guests were vegans
                and vegetarians, and they all said it was some of the best food they’d eaten!

                The view from the venue made our wedding photos look absolutely incredible, we loved going onto the beach to have photos taken.
                Our DJ Paul Barrington was fantastic, he had everybody up dancing. I strongly recommend getting the GoPro video which was
                hilarious to watch.

                This really was one of the best days of our lives, we can’t thank Tunnels Beaches enough!"

"Thank you so so much for our wonderful wedding. We knew from the moment we saw Tunnels Beaches website that it was where
                we wanted to have our day.

                Planning a wedding from 4 hours away should be a bit daunting but it genuinely couldn’t have been easier for us, from the list of
                recommended suppliers from Tunnels to the ridiculously prompt email replies from the Tunnels team throughout, everything is
                so easy, and we never for a moment doubted anything.

                We stayed in The Courtyard which was a perfect base for our wedding party, it is comfortable, clean and beautifully designed.

                Our day was off to a rather gloomy start, and I was so desperate to get married outside, we were booked for 2.30pm, and at
                2.25pm it finally looked like the rain might hold off, the team pushed back the ceremony by 5 minutes, wiped down all the chairs,
                got blankets and umbrellas out just incase, and we got to have the ceremony outside as the blue sky came out.

                Everything went flawlessly from start to finish, the team onsite were incredible, the food was literally the best food ever, and there
                was SO much of it! Best wedding food EVER. All hot, all delicious.

                The staff got everybody where they needed to be at the right time, always with a smile on their face.

                We had a lot of our guests whinge to us on the journey down, ‘could you have booked a wedding any further away?’ and every
                single person that had said that came up to us on the day and said ‘we absolutely get it, what a venue!’

                We feel so lucky to have been able to get married in this little slice of heaven.

                Thank you all, for everything. We are eternally grateful."

"We've always dreamed of getting married by the beach, but never knew just how magical it would truly be. Tunnels Beaches was
                the first and last venue we visited as we both instantly fell in love!

                The view is phenomenal, the building itself is awesome and the staff were lovely. Everyone we spoke to from beginning to end
                made our wedding so simple and smooth – nothing fazed or flustered them. As we aren’t local to the venue the organisation was
                done mostly through emails. The forms were straightforward and questions were impressively answered within a few hours.

                Our day ran seamlessly and we were both inundated with compliments from stunned guests for every aspect of the day – the view,
                venue, staff and most importantly food! We honestly can’t thank Tunnels enough for making it the most incredible day and giving
                us wonderful memories that will last for the rest of our lives!"

"Well what can I say... Steve and I had the best wedding we could have ever hoped and dreamed for! Steve wanted to get
                married abroad originally, but I wanted all our family and friends with us. So when we came across your beautiful venue it
                certainly felt like we were somewhere else! This was the first venue we visited and we booked it straight away, we knew we
                didn't need to see anywhere else as this was everything we were looking for and imagined and more!

                We cannot thank your team enough for making our day so perfect and run so smoothly. There was nothing that was too much
                trouble and we didn't feel worried about anything on the day, it all went so perfectly! Everyone who worked on our day were
                brilliant and so helpful and happy. All of our guests commented on the day and still tell us now how amazing this venue was,
                how brilliant the team were and most importantly how incredible the food was!!

                We were so lucky with the weather too, a beautiful sunny day (sandwiched between some rainy days!) I think my dad was shining
                the sun down on us that day, and it really was beautiful. Everyone felt like they were in another country.

                Anyway, thank you all so much again, we really did have the best day of our lives at Tunnels Beaches and I wish we could do it all
                over again! I will be telling anyone I know who gets engaged to book this beautiful place (mainly so I can come again as a guest
                and enjoy another day here - and the food!)

                Thanks again and we will definitely be back on our wedding anniversaries to visit this lovely place again."

"Getting married at Tunnels Beaches has been perfect from start to finish. When it came to our venue we had no stress
                whatsoever. Our minds were at ease knowing that they had everything taken care of. Throughout the day staff gently guided
                us through the day which we were so grateful for as we had no official itinerary! We wanted a relaxed informal wedding by
                the sea and that’s exactly what we got.

                We were told by many of our guests it was the best wedding they had been to, that they will never forget it, and everybody
                can’t stop raving about the food, even a vegetable curry and a cheese baguette by Tunnels tastes out of this world.

                Thank you Tunnels for the most perfect day, we couldn’t fault it. And even little things like the fact you packed everything up
                for us to collect the next day and set the tables for us just made it so everybody could enjoy themselves without worrying about
                the boring stuff! We would whole heartedly recommend Tunnels Beaches to anybody, you can’t beat it."

"When I first visited Tunnels Beaches I simply said WOW!!... There wasn’t one thing to criticise in this contemporary venue
                with a stunning view. The whole planning process was streamline, with the team always quick to respond to any queries.
                Special thanks to Catherine and Tanya. My only reservation was I couldn’t try the food but I needn’t have worried - the food
                was exceptional, every guest said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Highly recommend the Fishcakes and
                Chicken Liver Pate Canapés, the Monkfish Skewers, Halloumi Skewers and Sea Bream. Jacs on the day was always so attentive
                to my OCD details (haha), nothing was too much trouble. A special thanks also to the bar and waiting staff, the loveliest we
                have ever dealt with at the million weddings we have attended!

                We stayed in The Courtyard accommodation which was fabulous to have all my loved ones on site. We had a big post wedding
                BBQ in our private courtyard the next day which finished off our 3 day celebration perfectly.

                Highly recommend Pinned to Perfection for hair, RJ Films, Sweet Williams Flowers and Claire’s Sweet Temptations for the
                wedding cake.

                We had the most fabulous day and we can’t thank the Tunnels Beaches team enough. All our guests still rave that it’s the best
                wedding they’ve ever been to!"

"Everyone always says how stressful it is to organise a wedding. We found that it was quite the opposite! The website of
                Tunnels Beaches was great with so many recommendations for absolutely everything. All our questions were answered by
                searching through the website and for any personalised questions we always got a prompt reply from your team.

                The Bath House was the perfect accommodation for our families. Everyone loved their rooms, it was all very modern and it
                had everything we needed. I think my sister was ready to move in!!

                We thoroughly enjoyed every single moment on our wedding day thanks to your staff and all of the organising done behind
                the scenes. We are still getting compliments about how good the food was, everyone was raving about it. Massive thanks to
                The Wedding Spinner DJ who played some great tunes during the whole day and it all fit in perfectly.

                Thank you all so much for the hospitality, flexibility and a wonderful day. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change
                a thing."

"Well where do I start...

                Firstly, I just want to say a massive thank you from myself and Andrew, to Catherine who helped with everything, from start
                to finish. Also for all the staff who helped, you were all great and so helpful with sorting everything out, the accommodation
                is incredible and ours was amazing.

                Secondly, the food was absolutely delicious and was catered to all of our guests, the weather was good (but a bit windy).
                The room was amazing and well decorated.

                Thirdly, thank you to Jacs who helped throughout our day to insure everything went to plan! We both, as well as all of our
                guests loved the venue and had a fantastic time. Thank you to all the guests who travelled many miles to make our day.
                Also to Rob Wheatman our photographer, our videographers Steve Parker and Miles Goodman, my hair and nail ladies Emma
                Johnson and Nicky, my makeup lady Rachel Earner and to our cake maker Cora, a huge thank you to you all and everyone who
                helped along the way! Couldn’t have done it without you all! It was an absolute perfect day and night!

                Finally, a huge shout out again to all the staff at Tunnels Beaches for a wonderful stay! We look forward to seeing you all again!
                It’s been an absolute pleasure meeting you all and thank you once again for providing a perfect service for our perfect day!"

"Where do we start!!...
                One word to describe our wedding at Tunnel Beaches... MAGICAL!!!!!
                The only thing is we did not want it to end.

                You simply fall in love with this venue, it is breathtaking as soon as you enter through the doors. All our guests were stunned
                by its beauty. That feeling of joy and happiness when as a bride you enter the beaches is amazing.

                Our advice is go for it, please do not worry about anything the staff are incredible and really make you feel special and the only
                ones getting married there. Met Jamie for the first time on our second visit and he was extremely professional and answered
                all our questions including how the gourmet barbecue works. We were worried there would not be enough food and not the
                selected choice for everyone. WOW the food was exquisite and taste blowing delicious. You will not be disappointed and there
                was certainly plenty of it. We had drinks tokens and these worked really well for us.

                It was touch and go with the weather so we put our trust in the lovely staff to arrange all our wedding decorations at the last
                minute. Like with everything else throughout our build up to our wedding we could count on them all to make it as special as
                they all made us feel. Thank you to you all from the bottom and tops of our hearts!!!

                There are truly no words to describe how much fun and how special our day was, you just have to trust us and your hearts
                and make it your turn to write a testimonial of pure happiness!! That sounds cheesy, but our wedding was and everyone loves
                a bit of cheese!!!

                A special thank you to also the following... Evolve Photography, Mark who is a lovely down to earth photographer who we might
                add is good with weather forecasts. Pumpkin & Pie Flowers, Natasha is as beautiful as her flowers, she just created exactly what
                we wanted, perfect. Our creative delicious cake was by Lisa at The Deli. Balloons by North Devon Party Celebrations, Marc was
                very professional and delivered exactly what we wanted. The Wedding Spinner DJ rocked our music and Wayne Green our guitarist
                who was amazing. Tunnels Beaches Rocks!!!"

"Well where do we start! Planning a wedding people say it is stressful and difficult, 2 words that even when based in Manchester
                never crossed our minds when planning ours at the most amazing venue of the Tunnels Beaches.

                We fell in love with the Tunnels Beaches 2 years ago since then the planning process was seamless. All the staff are so welcoming
                and accommodating that you feel like it’s home away from home.

                We had both sets of accommodation The Bath House and The Courtyard. From arriving on the Tuesday, our Wedding day on the
                Wednesday and our garden party on Thursday. Were the most special days of our lives. To be surrounded by close family and friends
                was topped by the most stunning venue.

                Our wedding day was more than perfect to us. With a rain cloud looming staff were calm and positive and never faltered that
                we would be able to proceed with the ceremony outside. Within 10 minutes the rain cloud passed and the sun shone brightly all
                afternoon, a relaxed ceremony full of love and laughter, the tastiest gourmet BBQ we have ever had, and we all watched a sunset
                that you will not forget easily.

                Nothing more than perfection."

"Booking Tunnels Beaches for our wedding day was a no brainer. It was the first and last venue we looked at.

                It truly is a breathtaking setting for a wedding and our guests haven’t stopped talking about it. The food was excellent – lots of
                choices and all delicious. All the staff provided great service both in the run up to the wedding and on the day. Everything went
                very smoothly.

                Our family stayed in The Courtyard which is fantastic accommodation, and it’s great to stay at the venue.

                We can’t thank everyone at the Tunnels enough for everything they did to make our wedding day the best day of our lives!"

"An exceptional day in an outstanding location! Our wedding at Tunnels Beaches was all we could have asked for and more.

                From start to finish the team were extremely responsive to all of our requests. We were impressed by how they accommodated
                the extensive list of dietary requirements of the wedding party to produce the most delicious buffet suitable for all guests. It’s
                not surprising Tunnels Beaches has been recognised for the superb quality of its food and provision - the food was a talking
                point all evening!

                The friendliness and attentiveness of all staff before, during and after our wedding made what could have been a hectic day
                seamless, from quickly answering our many emails, dealing with spilt juice on a flower girl dress, to managing our ceremony
                music without a glitch. We can’t speak more highly of them.

                Our day was absolutely perfect. Most guests had not visited Tunnels Beaches before and commented on how extraordinary the
                venue is. Some guests even commented how they were glad their wedding day didn’t have the follow ours!

                Thank you to everyone at Tunnels Beaches for your hard work and for the opportunity to be married at your beautiful wedding
                venue. We feel incredibly lucky and would recommend anyone considering Tunnels Beaches to visit... our search stopped here!"

"Well, what can we say... Our wedding on 01.08.18 could not have been more perfect. It exceeded our expectations in so many
                ways. The staff in particular were all exceptional - so kind and attentive but also very relaxed and positive. We had many people
                comment on how great they all were. You all made Mark and I feel very relaxed and comfortable - it’s really appreciated. Before
                we could think of things that needed to be done, they were already done for us by you guys!

                The venue looked better then we could have imagined on the day and it all flowed so smoothly. Everything we asked for was done
                without hesitation. The food in particular had SO many positive comments from our guests, including ‘the best food we’ve ever
                had at a wedding’ and there was a lot too which was great! I could eat that every day.

                The accommodation too was perfect - again our guests were amazed by it. We all felt like we were tucked away in our own little
                paradise. Having three days with our closest friends and family, in such a cool place, was irreplaceable.

                All in all, amazing. We had the best 3 days of our lives and really want to thank you all for the part you played in that. We didn’t
                want to leave!"

                Your team worked so hard to ensure we didn't have to worry about anything, being available but not intrusive. So fab at
                their jobs, which left us to just enjoy our wedding day in your beautiful venue, with the sun shining brightly on the beach with

"We instantly fell in love with Tunnels Beaches on a rainy April afternoon in 2017 and couldn't wait to book it for our wedding
                in July 2018. From the beginning the team were exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our guests were
                completely blown away by everything and lots of people have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to!

                The venue is so unique and special. Even though everything is run so seamlessly it still has an amazing laid back feel which is
                exactly how we wanted our wedding day to be. Being massive foodies we spent a while deciding on the BBQ menu and were
                completely blown away by all the food on the day - it was awesome! The staff during the day were so helpful and laid back that
                everything just worked like magic.

                Big thank you to The Wedding Spinner Paul Barrington who we had DJ all day and he really got the vibe of day and the dance
                floor full in the evening. Matt Fryer was an amazing photographer and captured the day perfectly for us. Our amazing flowers
                by Kelly from Offshore Blooms were just what I wanted and better than I expected. Also Rachel from Isabelle Grace Make Up
                and Liv from Salt Hairdressers made us look our best. Everyone was from the recommended list that Tunnels provide which
                made it really easy for us.

                We really cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so wonderful."

"We cannot thank Jamie and the team enough for giving us such an amazing day. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed
                it would be and more, and the incredible setting of Tunnels Beaches, along with the fantastic team made it all possible.

                Every single one of our guests was so impressed with the staff, and they'll be thinking about the food that was served for years
                to come... We certainly hope to return and taste the delights again!

                The Courtyard was the perfect accommodation, and the bridal suite is incredible. We enjoyed a really relaxed few days there
                before the wedding, and my only regret is that we couldn't stay for longer afterwards - we were so sad to leave!

                There is nothing I could fault about our day, even the weather was amazing (always a risk for a beach wedding in the UK)!
                Thank you to you all for everything."

"We were dead set on getting married abroad. We wanted to get married by the sea and didn't even consider the UK an option
                because when do we ever get nice weather in the UK hey? After visiting various places in Italy we came to see Tunnels Beaches
                just for some perspective and absolutely loved it. Part of the reason we wanted to go abroad was to create a weekend with our
                loved ones and not just a day. By booking The Bath House and The Courtyard next door we were totally able to do this and the
                fact our beloved dog could walk down the aisle with us sealed the deal.

                The venue is stunning and because they just do weddings - they know exactly what they're doing. Every email answered
                immediately, no problem to ask lots of questions, do things differently or change plans.

                The food was out of this world, the view is not just stunning but uninterrupted. We didn't appreciate until the day itself the fact
                that no one can see in. You have your own venue, your own beach and the most amazing view. The staff were so helpful and
                friendly. We had THE best day. Thank you to all the team at Tunnels Beaches."

"To everyone in the Tunnels Beaches team… you were amazing! Thank you!

                We first saw Tunnels Beaches on a rainy day while it was undergoing renovations in January 2017 and thought it was beautiful
                so when we came back and saw the finished building we were completely blown away! The scenery is magical (so many of our
                guests commented that it was like the set from the Mama Mia Movie) and the building itself is decorated so beautifully that
                you don’t need to do anything yourself if you don’t want to.

                From when Jamie first showed us around the venue, to the visits and speedy replies to our questions in the lead up to the
                wedding nothing was too much trouble for you all. We really appreciated your list of recommended suppliers. We booked
                Roger Styles as our musician for the whole day - who was fantastic! Amy Elizabeth did my beautiful make-up. Brigitte Fisher
                did my hair which I absolutely loved and Oli (McGivern Photography) and James (Motion Farm Wedding Films) were a joy to
                have around and have captured the day via photos and video perfectly!

                All the staff guided us through the day itself seamlessly; everything just seemed to happen without us even having to think
                about it. The staff are like ninjas; chairs were put out and removed with the blink of an eye and they appear just as you might
                need something. A huge thank you to the Chef. The food was to die for! We managed to try a bit of everything we had ordered
                and it all was fantastic.

                We are so grateful to you all for giving us the most incredible day. We can’t wait to return for picnics and champagne on the
                beach for our anniversaries!"

"Tunnels Beaches is a completely magical venue. The views and beaches are incredible and the venue itself is spacious and works
                perfectly for the flow of the day. Leading up to the wedding, staff were always happy to help, they let us look round after we had
                booked and were very quick to respond to any queries which put my mind at rest.

                On the day, staff were attentive but discreet so we really felt like it was our venue for the day. The food was sensational - all
                our guests commented on it - drinks were fab and general service was brilliant. We particularly appreciated the subtle help at
                the beginning of the ceremony where the staff told bridesmaids when to walk down the aisle as that was something we didn’t
                have the headspace for at the time.

                Thank you for making our day better than we could’ve imagined, we will be recommending Tunnels Beaches to friends and family
                and look forward to returning for our anniversary in the future..."

"The best venue with the best food and phenomenal service and this is just how the guests described Tunnels Beaches!

                Seriously, the most amazing day of our lives, we cannot thank the Tunnels team enough and just wish we could do it all again
                and would recommend this venue to anyone.

                We fell in love with the Tunnels Beaches venue from the minute we saw it on a drizzly March afternoon in 2017 and were super
                lucky to get a Saturday in 2018 and what a perfect day it was. From our first visit Jamie and his team have been fantastic, from
                the speedy email responses, to our visits beforehand and our special day the service has been incredible and was absolutely
                seamless throughout the day.

                With such extensive food choices and help from the team it was easy to feed our guests with various food allergies. It was the
                most sensational BBQ. We had vegans who became meat eaters for the day and second helpings galore all because the food was
                so amazing!

                We booked the Courtyard after only seeing the plans and were totally blown away when we arrived; just stunning accommodation
                with fantastic modern and spacious living areas and rooms with beautiful décor. Perfect for spending time with family and friends
                and getting ready on our wedding day.

                A day the Keith and I, and our guests will never forget. We can’t wait to come back for our anniversaries..."

"'Flawless!' That is the only word we would use to describe the service we received upon initial contact, straight through to our
                wedding day with the team at Tunnels Beaches! They really have things perfected down to a T, to allow any couple to have a truly
                unique day. Even though they do hundreds of weddings a year, you really didn't feel like you were another wedding on a conveyer
                belt, they really do make you feel special.

                Myself and my new husband along with our family and friends all thought the food was outstanding, with most guests saying it was
                the best food that they had ever had at a wedding. Topped off with the beautiful location and venue itself, it's really not hard to
                fall in love with Tunnels Beaches. The staff were attentive when needed, but most of the time we felt like we had the whole venue
                to ourselves as they were all so discreet in the background working their magic.

                Many thanks again for making our day so flawless and one that not only Gaz and I will remember, but all our family and friends
                will remember too.

                To all the team at Tunnels Beaches, you have created a truly unique venue that will be very special to us for years to come."

"Jamie, thank you so much. You and your team have been amazing. From the first visit Catherine was fantastic and made us feel
                so welcome and relaxed. In the build up to the day both Tanya and Catherine were so accommodating (even of the copious amounts
                of glitter...) And on the day, Jacs handled everything expertly. She was so relaxed and guided us through the timings, nothing was
                too much trouble... even sifting through the bin to find the Grooms speech...(oops).

                All the guests loved the wedding and I can't kid myself to think it was just about the ceremony! The venue is beautiful and is the
                perfect setting for a truly magical wedding.

                Staying at the Courtyard made the wedding even more special. We invited the whole wedding back for a late morning brunch
                the following day. It was perfect as the actual wedding is such a whirlwind of a day so having such a beautiful and relaxed space
                to host in was ideal. About 40 people came and enjoyed some simple food and the space to sit in the sun. It was also such a
                beautifully decorated house that made each moment of the wedding feel extra special.

                We honestly had the most amazing day ever and would whole heartily recommend Tunnels Beaches for the perfect wedding venue!!"

                All our guests commented that it was one of the best wedding venues they have ever been to. Everyone was raving about the food.
                The Tuna Steaks and Monkfish and Prawn Skewers were so yummy.

                Thank you to all involved in the run up and on the day. You made it really easy to arrange the big day. The website with all the
                suppliers on is really useful especially when we don't live in the area. The details for the babysitter and dog sitter came in really

"We viewed Tunnels Beaches on a rainy day in January in 2016, we had been engaged a few months but were struggling to find
                a laid back, beach type of venue that fit all of our criteria. We found Tunnels Beaches online and were quite sure we were going
                to book when we saw the pictures, but we just wanted to make sure it was as beautiful as it looked online. Travelling down from
                Manchester, over 5 and a half hours we were absolutely not disappointed! Tunnels Beaches was even more beautiful than we could
                have ever imagined. The thought of our guests coming down the tunnel itself and saying our "I do's" under the gazebo, with a BBQ
                wedding breakfast was the dream and we booked instantly.

                We had a bit of a wait from then, as most weekend dates were booked for the following couple of years. We were finally wed in
                June 2018, we had beautiful weather amazing scenery and our nearest and dearest surrounding us. The sunset over the sea and
                rugged cliffs was incredible and had everybody in awe after what was simply the most perfect day.

                The team at Tunnels Beaches are amazing and on hand with questions over email, I also set up a call with Jacs too before our day
                just to settle my own nerves more than anything. I needn't have worried as the staff's smiling faces greeted us as we arrived and
                nothing was too much trouble for the rest of the day. Ben, in the evening was also amazing, everything ran like clockwork and it
                simply was magical. Thank you so much for all of your support throughout the whole thing!"

"Thank you so much for making our wedding day incredible!

                We were so lucky with the sun, and lucky to have an awesome team like you guys running the show! You answered all our finickity
                little questions that came to you in a constant email stream from a confused bride and stressed out Maid of Honour/Wedding Planner!!
               
                Nothing was too much trouble, you were so accommodating to our every need and everyone remained immensely professional
                throughout the whole experience, especially on the day!

                Craig - the food was to die for!! I sampled everything I could and it was all put together with so much attention to detail and
                presented beautifully. You informed us about the foods we could and couldn't have with the dietary requirements so efficiently.
                We had such lovely comments from our guests about the food.

                People were so taken with the venue that most of the photos the guests have taken are of the view and not us! It really is an amazing
                little gem and I'm so glad Rhys found it, I think it was the best beach venue we could ask for, Jamie and the team should be very
                proud of what they've created there.

                We had a spectacular day, it all ran seamlessly and we can't thank you enough!"

"We held our wedding at Tunnels Beaches on 07/05/18 and it was the most perfect day.

                The location/facilities on offer will always draw people to having their wedding at Tunnels Beaches but from the very moment
                we met Jamie and his staff back in June 2017 they did everything to make sure our wedding was perfect and for that we are
                truly grateful.

                We stayed in the newly refurbished "The Courtyard" which is even better than the photos make it look. It is a great communal
                space and having all the bridal party together in such an awesome space for a couple of days beforehand set a great tone for
                the weekend.

                The wedding day itself was seamless which is largely due to the professional nature of Jacs and her team. Nothing is too much
                trouble and nothing is left to chance. The food was absolutely lovely and drew compliments from all who ate it. Our pianist
                and
band were able to set up and run to time and people drunk and danced all night. There was certainly a few sore heads the
                next day.

                Thanks to Jamie, Catherine, Tanya, Jacs and all the team behind the scenes, we had the day of our dreams and one which we
                will remember forever. I only wish we could do it all again. If you do hold your wedding at Tunnels Beaches, and I recommend you
                absolutely do, remember to take it all in..."

"How do we try and put how great our wedding was into words... We honestly didn’t think it would ever be as perfect as it actually
                was - so our advice is to just book Tunnels Beaches so you can truly understand!

                We first went to view Tunnels Beaches on the worst possible day - It was freezing cold, torrential rain and blowing a gail, but once
                we stood upstairs looking out at the view, dripping wet and a little miserable, our mood changed and we knew this was the perfect
                wedding venue!

                On the day itself we had the total opposite weather - in fact it was the hottest May Day bank holiday weekend on record. The day
                would have been fantastic either way, but the weather really did make it the best day ever.

                From initial contact the Tunnels team were just fantastic, usually answering my emails within minutes, which is great when you
                are mid-panic that you have forgotten something. At every step we were made to feel like we were the only wedding that they
                were hosting, which is no mean feat when they have weddings almost everyday. On the day itself, as a bride you really are
                leaving everything in their capable hands, and at no point did I feel stressed or worried, they have a knack of asking you
                questions/informing you of things without you even noticing. The whole day was relaxed, fun and seamless.

                The food was incredible, I cannot thank Craig enough for what he did, as a Bride with a gluten intolerance, the one thing I didn't
                want on my wedding day was to worry about what I could or couldn’t eat, but I also didn’t want the guests to suffer. Craig ensured
                we had an entire gluten free menu which was absolutely delicious. My only regret on our wedding day was not going to get any
                of the paella (due to having too much fun on the dance floor) - I know some guests had more than 4 portions, it was THAT good!

                A massive shout out to our photographers Dan and Stu (D&A Photography) who gave us the most amazing shots, Natasha (Pumpkin
                & Pye) for our beautiful flowers, Connie (Iconic Hair and Makeup) for making me feel absolutely amazing! Michael G Moore
                (The Piano Man) who played from the ceremony to late evening (although everyone wanted him to stay all night - and he would
                have done), and finally Sebastian (Offbeat Entertainment) who had a hard act to follow, but so many guest have said it was the
                best playlist they have heard at a wedding and he kept the dance floor full until the early hours! The tunnels team ensured that
                they all worked seamlessly together!

                Our favourite part of the day was after our first dance all our guests joined us on the terrace, as the sun started to set dancing
                to The Piano Man, all having the best time, with huge smiles on their faces and dancing together.

                All of our guests are still talking about our Wedding a month and a half later - with all of them saying it was the best wedding
                they have ever been too.

                It truly was the best day of our lives and we wish we could do it all over again! We really cannot thank you enough!"

"Friday 4th May 2018 at Tunnels Beaches was everything we dreamt of, and more!!

                With being further away, we tried to get as much organised as possible to make it easy for the staff to know how we’d like our
                day to be. But I didn’t need to worry, they were fantastic! From booking the venue, to the day itself, Jamie, Tanya and Catherine
                made everything so easy. All were quick with answers and so accommodating when we needed help with ideas!

                Our day ran so smoothly from beginning to end thanks to Jacs and we couldn’t have asked for more. It’s always been a dream
                of mine (the bride) to get married close to the beach and Tunnels Beaches was perfect! Our friends and family said how amazing
                the venue and scenery was, along with the food! Just incredible! We wish we could do it all over again and won’t ever be able
                to express how grateful we are for all Tunnels Beaches did for us. A day that will be with us forever."

"We really wanted a wedding by the sea; being based in rural Gloucestershire we didn’t think this would be possible! We took
                a punt and travelled to see Tunnels Beaches... nothing prepared us for this breath-taking venue! We pretty much knew then
                and there that this was the place...

                Living nearly 3 hours away, we thought it would be difficult for planning, but the Tunnels team were fantastic. They quickly
                reassured us and answered any questions we had, no matter how trivial it seemed. On the day the team were so professional;
                there were no worries from us about timings, it all just simply happened.

                The Bath House was perfect. It made our whole wedding trip much easier being only metres away from the venue - especially
                with four young nieces and nephews in tow, who were taken to go rock pooling on the Ladies Beach whilst wedding prep. in
                the morning was in full swing!

                The food was INCREDIBLE. Not having done a tasting beforehand felt like a bit of a gamble, but we needn’t have worried.
                The food was the best we’ve ever had at a wedding, and lots of our guests said the same... delicious.

                So many venues stop the music at midnight, but we were able to dance until 2am at Tunnels, which was a winner!

                We can’t thank the whole Tunnels team enough for everything. Literally the best day of our lives!"

"I grew up in North Devon so when we got engaged I knew exactly where I wanted to get married and Tunnels Beaches did not
                disappoint. From the moment we stepped through the tunnel we knew it was the venue for us and did not look back. It has such
                a relaxed feel, which is exactly what we wanted.

                Jamie and the staff were fantastic from start to finish, making sure the day was perfect for us and answering any questions at
                any time of the day.

                The day was perfect and we were lucky enough to have the sun shining all day. Our guests were wowed at the venue and the views
                and loved spending time down on the beach.

                The food was incredible, our guests were raving about the BBQ, ice-cream and pasties and we have had lots of comments about
                it being the best wedding food they have ever had.

                We had both the Bath House and The Courtyard which was perfect for our family and friends and meant we could celebrate for
                the whole weekend.

                We would also like to thank The Wedding Spinner (DJ) for keeping the dance floor packed the entire night. Another massive
                thank you to Luna (photographers) who captured the day so perfectly.

                We really cannot thank everyone enough, we had the most perfect day and have been told my many of our guests it was the best
                wedding they have ever been to."

"I have been struggling to find the words to describe Tunnels Beaches and our wedding, and have been putting off writing
                this as it sort of feels like closure! It all feels like a dream and I am absolutely gutted it is all over. From the moment I found
                Tunnels Beaches after searching online through hundreds of venues I knew it was special. When you walk through the tunnels
                to the venue you will understand. It just takes your breath away and transports you to another place.

                Jamie met us on a grey, rainy day and our eyes still lit up at the beauty of Tunnels Beaches. The views are spectacular,
                the venue incredible and the attention to detail in Tunnels Beaches, The Bath House and The Courtyard accommodation
                are fantastic. We knew we wanted it immediately.

                In the build up to the day Jamie and the team were tremendously helpful and accommodating, from the food choices to the
                table decorations. It felt like someone was holding our hands throughout.

                We booked The Bath House and The Courtyard for 3 nights over the wedding weekend and it was the best experience.
                The accommodation was fantastic. We had paella on the first night arranged by Tunnels Beaches and it was absolutely superb.
                It was meant to be for 60 guests but almost everyone had seconds.

                On the morning of our wedding it was drizzling and I spoke with Jacs and the team as I was desperate to have the ceremony
                outside. They were brilliant and got the white umbrellas and blankets ready. I got my wish to have it outside despite the rain
                and the sun came out in the end.

                The canapés, ice cream tricycle and food were delicious. Every dish we picked was perfect. Everyone said it was the best
                wedding food they had tasted and we strongly agree. Although whoever gave my daughter a chocolate ice cream from the
                tricycle before the photos were taken is in trouble!!

                All of the staff were friendly and so helpful throughout the day, they were attentive and always checking we were ok. Nothing
                was too big an ask for them.

                We are eternally grateful for Tunnels Beaches’ recommendations of Matt Fryer (photographer), The Wedding Spinner (DJ),
                Roger Styles (vocalist/guitarist), Sweet Williams Flowers, Changing Faces (hair & make up) & Sarah Nardoni (babysitter).

                Tunnels, we cannot thank you enough for everything. I am getting teary writing this as it was the best thing we have ever done;
                not just the wedding but finding a place as special as Tunnels Beaches."
                Lots of love Julia & Ian xxx

"Amazing venue for the wedding of our dreams!

....... . ... We fell in love with Tunnels as soon as we saw it, and booked it there and then. The beach and sea views are absolutely stunning
....... . ... and it is all tucked away between the cliffs, it is the perfect backdrop. It was such a relaxed vibe and exactly want we wanted for
....... . ... our wedding.

....... . ... The staff were amazing from the initial planning to the day, answering questions and just being there whenever you needed
....... . ... something, they really went the extra mile to help make it special. They were really friendly and expert and that helped with
....... . ... any nerves! The food was amazing and we received so many comments on how great it was.

....... . ... We had the best day, and to sum up our wedding photographer “if Carlsberg did wedding venues” then Tunnels Beaches would
....... . ... be the winner hands down. Thank you for everything, Tunnels Beaches will always hold a special place in our hearts.

....... . ... Thanks again, it really was an awesome day!"

"Tunnels Beaches was the first wedding location we visited and the last. We knew we wanted our special day to be here.
....... . ... We wanted to get married on a beach and have a beautiful backdrop while we made our vows. Tunnels had the most beautiful
....... . ... and most breathtaking views. The beach has beautiful grey sands which makes it so unique. The location is so enclosed and
....... . ... protected that it makes your day private for you and your guests.

....... . ... The staff were wonderful. They looked after you through the day and night and kept you on schedule. The food was one of the
....... . ... best parts!.. You ate until you were stuffed and they had beautiful local produce. There is also so much choice so everyone,
....... . ... no matter what could have a big plate full of food.

....... . ... We cannot recommend Tunnels Beaches enough. Our day was so magical and so beautiful and we can’t wait to come back
....... . ... and visit again on our anniversary."

....... . ... "We had an absolutely amazing wedding day at Tunnels – thank you to everybody involved. Our wedding day happened to coincide
....... . ... with Storm Brian, with weather so bad that the rest of Tunnels was shut to the public, but none of this put a dampener on our day.
....... . ... The indoor ceremony space is absolutely beautiful with incredible views of the sea, so to anybody concerned about not being able
....... . ... to get married outdoors if the weather is bad then we would definitely tell you not to worry – it was still perfect. The views of the
....... . ... storm and the crashing sea just made it even more atmospheric and special.

....... . ... The food was utterly amazing. We had a difficult time deciding what to choose for the BBQ buffet as everything sounded delicious.
....... . ... Large numbers of our guests have commented that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Thank you to the Chef and
....... . ... kitchen staff!

....... . ... We stayed in the Bath House for the weekend and it made everything extremely easy and relaxed.

....... . ... All the staff at Tunnels were an absolute delight, and were extremely helpful from the moment we arrived that morning. The day
....... . ... ran really smoothly, and we both felt as if we were being gently carried along in the event we’d planned, without having to worry
....... . ... about any of the detail on the day itself.

....... . ... Thanks again for everything – we truly had a perfect day."

....... . ... "BEST DAY EVER!
....... . ... From the moment we first visited The Tunnels, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. We were lucky enough to have
....... . ... the sun shining on our special day, and as soon our guests arrived, jaws dropped.

....... . ... All of the staff went above and beyond to make the day truly unforgettable, with special mentions to Tanya and Catherine for all
....... . ... their help in the run up to the ceremony and Jacqui and Naomi attending to our every need during the day into the night.

....... . ... You will not find better food at any wedding venue... ever! Everyone has commented how incredible the canapés & BBQ were,
....... . ... and being served the evening snacks whilst on the dance floor was also a huge hit!

....... . ... Booking the Bath House was brilliant too. Such gorgeous accommodation, allowing ease of movement during the day, and allowing
....... . ... us to relax and enjoy Ilfracombe with our family for the whole weekend.

....... . ... The views, the staff, the venue, the food... a perfect combination for an epic weekend. So sad it's all over, but have such

....... . ... Our dream was to get married in the sun, by the beach, with all our friends and family. The Tunnels Beaches allowed this to

....... . ... "Thank you for making our wedding epic!! Tanya, Jacs and Naomi all helped to look after us and made us feel very special. Nothing
....... . ... was too much trouble and it felt like we were the only couple to ever have a wedding at the Tunnels as you were all so attentive.

....... . ... Huge thanks to the Chefs. The food was awesome and all the guests commented that it was the best wedding food they'd ever tried.
....... . ... I'm trying to convince some of my unmarried friends to get married at Tunnels as I was too over excited at the time to try any
....... . ... canapés and they looked amazing!!! My Dad said they were so good and he ate so many that he struggled to eat his BBQ food. Our
....... . ... vegan photographer who goes to loads of weddings said that it was the best vegan meal she has had at a wedding and my aunty who
....... . ... had the nut allergy loved the fact that you brought her special canapés and food that she was confident she could eat.

....... . ... It goes without saying that the venue itself is amazing! We were lucky with the weather but we are confident it would have also
....... . ... been great if it was rainy and weren't worried at all. The Bath House accommodation was perfect for our families especially those
....... . ... who had children. Everybody loved the fact that we could all relax the day after the wedding, enjoy Ilfracombe and reminisce.
....... . ... It was set up perfectly for us with high chairs, travel cots and thanks very much for the wine!

We cannot thank you all enough! It truly was the best day of our lives and you all went above and beyond to make it that way for us.

....... . ... "We are Londoners, however didn't want a traditional London wedding. From the moment we saw Tunnels Beaches back in
....... . ... April 2016, we immediately booked it and didn't even look at any other venues.

....... . ... Planning our wedding from London was no issue as Catherine, Tanya, Jacs and Chef Craig, were always at hand to help. The website
....... . ... is extremely useful to help plan the event and prompt you to consider all situations.

....... . ... We rented The Bath House accommodation and it was a great base - it really added to our overall experience. Beautifully furnished,
....... . ... modern residence with all the mod cons.

....... . ... So, onto our special day... We had our friends and family moaning & groaning about the travel and distance to get to Devon, but
....... . ... when they arrived and saw the stunning scenery - it literally was a 'mic drop' moment! We were lucky enough for a dry (but windy!)
....... . ... day and had our ceremony outdoors. We loved the relaxed feel and our day was truly memorable!

....... . ... Catherine and the Tunnels team accommodated all of our quirky requests, including tweaking the gorgeous Gourmet BBQ to suit
....... . ... our Caribbean palette! Big shout out to Chef Craig and the fantastic jerk chicken!

....... . ... Our guests have been raving how superb the event was with comments such as:
....... . ... 'No lie - hands down, best wedding ever!'
....... . ... 'I feel sorry for anyone getting married after your event - no one can top that'
....... . ... 'EPIC!'
....... . ... 'How on earth did you find such a beautiful venue?'
....... . ... 'Food was out of this World - shoosh don't tell, but we went back for seconds & thirds!'

....... . ... Nothing was too much trouble for Catherine and the gang to make our event tailored to suit our needs and they were extremely
....... . ... easy to communicate and work with. The distance was no problem as they were always at the end of the phone and replied
....... . ... promptly to emails.

....... . ... I don't think Tunnels have had such a mad event and our 'entourage' included our choirmaster - big up to Jules Addison, who
....... . ... conducted our guests to sing our special tunes. The grooms sister is an Opera singer and performed whilst we signed the register
....... . ... (Sarah-Jane Lewis was awesome!) Oliver Pool filmed our Marryoke - check him out too! AMAZING - can't wait to see our finished
....... . ... video. Tanya was our grime violinist - a special surprise from my husband - uber talented and our guests were delighted to be
....... . ... entertained by such a unique artist! DJ Paul (The Wedding Spinner), recommended by the Tunnels crew, truly made our After Party
....... . ... memorable - playing tune after tune after tune. All wrapped up by Andy Wardle photographing and Steve Dibben on filming duty.
....... . ... These guys were highly professional and captured the spirit of our day.

....... . ... As you can see, we can't stop raving about Tunnels - the venue and the team made our wedding so special, we can't thank them
....... . ... enough! Can't wait to go back for our anniversary."

....... . ... "It would be really hard to not have an amazing wedding at Tunnels Beaches. Like so many other people, as soon as we saw it,
....... . ... we knew it was where we wanted to get married - even though it was torrential rain when we looked round! Even in bad weather,
....... . ... it looked so dramatic with stunning views, but we were blessed when the sun came out for us on the day. It really is a location
....... . ... that wowed our family and friends and made it different to any other weddings we've been to. So much so, that when Tom's sister
....... . ... got engaged shortly after our wedding, they're thinking of looking abroad to match the setting and weather that they enjoyed so
....... . ... much at our wedding! Needless to say, it makes for some cracking photos and I'll never forget watching my friends on the beach
....... . ... in their flipflops, throwing frisbees.

....... . ... The staff at the Tunnels are all incredibly professional and they definitely play a huge part in making the day work so well, so
....... . ... a big thank you to Tanya and the team. They were just always there in the background, making everything happen seamlessly
....... . ... and it was so nice that I didn't need to get involved in the running of the day. They just have this remarkable way of making
....... . ... you feel like you're the only ones who get married there, which I know is not the case at all wedding venues. We were so
....... . ... impressed with prompt email responses by the team throughout our time planning the wedding, as we're not local to Devon.

....... . ... The food was great and was loved by meat eaters, veggies and vegans alike, which is no mean feat for almost 120 people.
....... . ... We followed up with dessert and the ice cream tricycle, which went down well with guests. As well as marshmallows over the
....... . ... firepit and sparklers in the evening. We sourced a lot of our suppliers - Pumpkin and Pye (florist), Matt Fryer (photographer),
....... . ... Nibble & Scoff (cakes), Changing Faces (hair and make up) and Roly's Fudge (favours) via the website FAQ's, all of whom I'd
....... . ... highly recommend to others. Jules at Hey Jules for local, personalised gifts, jewellery and my hair piece was also great.

....... . ... If you get the opportunity to stay in Bath House, I'd encourage you to do it as it just made it a whole weekend of memories.
....... . ... We stayed there with our close family and it's such a stunning house... everyone having tea and cake at end of the wedding day
....... . ... and eating together the day after re-living all the different parts of the day, are also memories we wont forget.

....... . ... So yes, just the best venue and really our happiest day ever."

....... . ... "We wanted to write to say thanks so much for making our day 22-08-17 PERFECT and one we will never forget!

....... . ... All our friends had warned us how stressful planning a wedding was. When we came down for the relaunch party in March we said
....... . ... to our photographer Matt Fryer that we were waiting for the stress to kick in - we were so surprised at how chilled we were. Matt
....... . ... said "the people who warned you how stressful it was have never planned a wedding at Tunnels Beaches - they take care of
....... . ... everything for you." How true this turned out to be! From the countless questions from our guests to all the little touches on the
....... . ... day. It would be so easy for a venue as spectacular as Tunnels Beaches to rely on the scenery to bring in trade, but this is SO not
....... . ... the case here.

....... . ... The food was amazing and kept coming! All of our guests commented as such. The staff were so friendly and helpful with anything
....... . ... that was asked of them. Brought us canapés when we asked for 10 minutes alone just so we didn't miss out, didn't panic when the
....... . ... bride was running slightly behind schedule, and packed everything up for us after the day including half the groom's clothes which
....... . ... he managed to leave at the venue! We only wish we could do it all over again!"

....... . ... "We always wanted to get married outdoors by the sea, at a unique venue and were so excited when we came across Tunnels Beaches,
....... . ... and even happier that it was in the UK. We booked the beautiful accommodation at Bath House from Mon - Thurs for our close family
....... . ... and friends, and were able to host drinks the first evening for our guests who had travelled from far and wide. It was fantastic as we
....... . ... stretched our wedding celebrations over three days with our favourite people.

....... . ... As we live a distance from Ilfracombe, we communicated with the brilliant wedding team - Tanya, Catherine and Jamie a lot! They
....... . ... were always really helpful and patient even with the simplest of queries. The venue is stunning and didn't need a lot of decoration,....... . ... ....... . ... we only added splashes of our colour theme and some personal touches. The menu options were amazing, it took us the best part
....... . ... of a day to decide (and agree) on the options, and there is something to meet all dietary requirements.

....... . ... On our wedding day the sun came out for us, the staff were so attentive to our every need, guiding us through the day, keeping
....... . ... things running smoothly without us even noticing, so friendly and happy - even handing over sun cream after hearing us talk about
....... . ... someone getting burnt. We were married outside to the sound of the sea, with a string quartet playing in the background, it was
....... . ... beautiful and so romantic. The food on the day was the most delicious you can imagine!

....... . ... All in all our wedding was even more perfect than we could have dreamed, all of our guests thought it was the best wedding they
....... . ... had ever been to, even the band told us it was the most amazing venue they had played at. If you are looking for somewhere
....... . ... magical to have your special day, you MUST book Tunnels Beaches."

....... . ... "We wanted to get married by the sea, so 2 years out from our planned date we started to look at venues near the ocean. We came
....... . ... across a few different places but only ever visited Tunnels Beaches.

....... . ... On a grey winters day in December we met Jamie who gave us the Tunnels tour. Jamie is very personable and professional but to
....... . ... be honest (sorry Jamie!) he didn't really have to say anything because when you see Tunnels you'll know as we did, that this beautiful
....... . ... place would be the venue for our special day.

....... . ... The whole team at Tunnels are amazing. We are not local to Devon and therefore had to plan the majority of our wedding remotely.
....... . ... I can imagine for some this could be difficult but Tanya our Wedding Co-ordinator from Tunnels was so professional, answering every
....... . ... query we had quickly and with care. She made the whole process simple and gave us confidence that our wedding was in good hands
....... . ... as the day got nearer.

....... . ... Our wedding day itself was perfect. We had a mix of weather, sunshine and showers but the venue and staff are very adaptable to
....... . ... cope with anything. From the ceremony right through to the evening entertainment the Tunnels staff were great. They handle all
....... . ... the transitions seamlessly. Most of the day we hardly noticed them but if you did need anything they were at hand to help
....... . ... accommodate any requests we had.

....... . ... You can't write a testimonial about Tunnels without mentioning the food. The gourmet BBQ was fantastic, a real delight. So many
....... . ... of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the meal. The desserts are really yummy.

....... . ... As our special day came to an end we had comments from our guests like "best wedding ever" and "you've set the bar high". There's
....... . ... no doubt that this was in part down to the incredible job the tunnels team performed and of course, this amazing wedding venue."

....... . ... "A huge thank you to the wonderful Tunnels Beaches team for making our wedding day just fantastic!

....... . ... All our guests commented on what a spectacular venue Tunnels is, the fabulous (and large volumes) of food and friendly, helpful
....... . ... staff. We had the maximum of 120 guests and a pretty wet day which isn't what we had in mind but this was no problem at all
....... . ... for the team or venue. Everything was just seamless.

....... . ... We tried our best to keep everything local and couldn't have wished for better with our gorgeous flowers from Offshore Blooms,
....... . ... Matt Fryer our fun and talented photographer, Pat McIntyre on his guitar set just the vibe we wanted for post ceremony drinks
....... . ... and Paul aka The Wedding Spinner kept the dance floor bouncing all night. We even got our cake from The Deli, Ilfracombe
....... . ... and favours from Roly's fudge on the Quay in town. Both were yummy.

....... . ... We live overseas and thought planning a wedding in the UK might be a bit of a nightmare. Not the case, everyone we dealt with
....... . ... made it easy and fun. We want to come back and do it all again!"

....... . ... to Catherine for her dedication to making my singing and seating plan work to Tanya for answering hundreds of emails to

....... . ... "I want to get married in shorts and flip flops" he said. So research began and led us very quickly to this amazing venue...

....... . ... Our day was outstanding, from the venue itself, to the amazing staff and food of such high quality. You just feel like you don’t have
....... . ... a care in the world, as it all seamlessly happens around you and you don’t have to think about anything other than your day with
....... . ... friends and family.

....... . ... Clearly this level of ‘secret service’ is due to the fantastic team work from all involved with the Tunnels, from visiting the venue
....... . ... and booking the big day, to the day itself. Every one of the Tunnels team should feel immensely proud of the part they play, thank
....... . ... you all so much!

....... . ... The FAQs section on the website is so useful, as not living close by, the recommendations are invaluable. Paul, The Wedding Spinner,
....... . ... was truly the best DJ we have ever had the privilege of knowing, catering for all our musical tastes from the children to the 70+ year
....... . ... old’s. He certainly managed to keep me on the dance floor for 6 hours, had to wear off the BBQ somehow! Kelly from Offshore Blooms
....... . ... did the flowers, again, although I never met Kelly before the day, having talked to her by phone and then a couple of emails, my
....... . ... flowers were absolutely perfect. Thank you to both Paul and Kelly as well for their part in our celebrations.

....... . ... You can never replicate a day in life ever and even if we could we wouldn’t change any part of the day, feel very lucky in life to have
....... . ... been able to get married here and share it with our friends."

....... . ... The BBQ was outstanding and Sweet Williams Florist in Ilfracombe did a fantastic job with the flowers. Roger Styles played three

....... . ... "We would like to thank everyone at Tunnels Beaches for helping us to have the most incredible wedding day!...

....... . ... We moved from Australia three months before our wedding date and so nearly everything was booked and planned online in the

....... . ... Tunnels, we knew we had found the perfect venue and that we had nothing to worry about.

....... . ... Having lived in Australia for three years, we were looking for a beautiful outdoor, coastal venue and Tunnels looked perfect online.
....... . ... When we finally saw the venue ourselves three months before the wedding, we were absolutely blown away - it looks incredible on
....... . ... the website but it's a million times more stunning in real life.

....... . ... In the lead up to the wedding, nothing was too much trouble - there was always someone lovely to answer questions quickly, which
....... . ... made the process easy and stress-free.

....... . ... The day itself was more perfect that we could ever have dreamt it would be. Tunnels even provided the sunshine! So many of our
....... . ... guests have said that it was the best wedding they have been to, and they forgot that they were in England!

....... . ... We really can't fault anything, from start to finish. The food, staff, suggested suppliers, Bath House - it was all incredible and we

....... . ... "What can I say – WOW! Having looked at a number of venues in the South West, the minute we set foot in Tunnels Beaches
....... . ... we knew it would be the perfect venue. The relaxed feel and the opportunity to get married outside by the sea meant it just
....... . ... felt like ‘us’. We were lucky enough to have some glorious sunshine on the day, but even in the drizzle when we first looked
....... . ... round the coastal setting was absolutely stunning and we were hooked.

....... . ... We mostly planned the day from our home in London, and any fears that this would hinder the planning were quickly put to rest
....... . ... by the amazing staff, especially Tanya and Jamie. They have been so helpful, responding to endless emails and questions to help
....... . ... us feel really calm and cared for. The staff were fantastic on the day, always there to assist with any requests but never in our
....... . ... faces.

....... . ... Then there was the food! The barbecue was absolutely divine and so many of our guests have said it was the best wedding food
....... . ... they have ever had. The view of the tide rolling in as we ate was something we definitely won’t forget in a hurry, and as we
....... . ... don’t drink we loved the delicious mocktail that was provided to complement the guests’ sangria in the evening.

....... . ... We sourced most of our suppliers through the Tunnels’ recommended list and were so happy with all our choices. Anna and Elaine
....... . ... from Changing Faces made the girls look absolutely stunning (and really helped to calm Jo’s morning panics), Mark (Evolve)
....... . ... captured the day exactly how we wanted with beautiful photos, and The Wedding Spinner provided the perfect soundtrack,
....... . ... somehow seamlessly mixing our requests for motown, soul, punk, ska and drum and bass - we salute you!

....... . ... From the location, to the food, to the staff, the whole day was absolutely perfect and we would absolutely recommend Tunnels

....... . ... "Our fairy tale with Tunnels Beaches began 2 years before our wedding day. Both having a love of the sea, we initially wanted
....... . ... to get married in the Caribbean. However, having faced the impossible reality that many of closest loved ones would not be
....... . ... able to share such a special time with us, we began to search possible locations in the UK. We immediately struck upon
....... . ... Tunnels Beaches and we couldn’t wait to arrange a visit to see this spectacular location. Living in Kent meant that we would
....... . ... have to wait a month before visiting; wondering all the while if the photos online could possibly be a genuine portrayal of the
....... . ... venue itself. We were not disappointed. Emerging through the tunnel on a cloudy, blustery May day, the view literally took our
....... . ... breath away and we are not afraid to admit brought a little tear to the eye. Immediately, we booked our wedding day and from
....... . ... then on could not stop thinking about this magical place.

....... . ... Since the initial booking, the Tunnels Beaches family never let us down. Their recommendation of suppliers was spot on.
....... . ... The food was AMAZING – the white chocolate cheesecake went down especially well!

....... . ... To say the admin in the build-up to our day was efficient is an understatement which completely contributed to the relaxed
....... . ... approach we wanted to take. Thank you to all the staff who worked so effortlessly on the day and to Jamie and Zoe for creating
....... . ... the Tunnels Beaches dream.

....... . ... We will definitely be visiting in the future. Thank you a million times over!"

....... . ... Over the ensuing 11 months, the team couldn’t have been more helpful in assisting us to arrange our special day – Tanya and

....... . ... On our BIG day, the weather was just perfect for early May, I met with Jacs and Tanya on the morning of the wedding to run

....... . ... would be all we had dreamed it would be.

....... . ... We enjoyed an emotion filled day, surrounded by friends and family. We got married on the terrace, had photos on the beach,
....... . ... enjoyed an absolutely delicious wedding breakfast (massive compliments to the Chef – yummy!!), and escaped for quiet moments
....... . ... on the roof terrace from where you get the most spectacular view across your wedding, the beach, cliffs and sea. As the sun set,
....... . ... the sky was filled with yellow, orange, mauve and grey – it was truly awesome. We had a campfire, s’mores, sparklers and danced
....... . ... the night away.

....... . ... So many of our guests have said what an amazing day it was, how incredible the venue is, how tasty the fantastic variety of food
....... . ... was, and how they have never been to a wedding like it.

....... . ... Tunnels Beaches is truly the most perfect place we could have chosen for our wedding – professional, wonderful, and with a backdrop

....... . ... set up and nothing was a problem. The team were barely noticeable during the day but always on hand if and when needed.

....... . ... All our friends and family were made to feel welcome and guests with any specific requirements were catered for seamlessly.
....... . ... Staff were friendly, flexible and helpful, we could not have asked for better.

....... . ... Every single guest commented on the incredibly delicious food and guests with dietary requirements were put at ease when
....... . ... staff approached them to inform them of the plan for them individually.

....... . ... All in all we had a perfect day with the sun even making an appearance and we could not be happier we chose Tunnels as the
....... . ... setting for our special day."

....... . ... "Thank you for helping create the most perfect day for me and my new Wife!

....... . ... We'd like you all to know just how grateful we are for all your help from start to finish; nothing was ever too much trouble and
....... . ... we couldn't fault any thing or any one. You all took great care in making sure our props were in place, our guests were happy
....... . ... and most of all, you ensured we were happy and even at times calmed us down from our nerves!

....... . ... Every member of the Tunnels team were so professional and so relaxed we hardly noticed you there unless we needed something,
....... . ... to which you seemed to magically appear and have the job done within minutes, whatever the request.

....... . ... Our friends and family were stunned and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Some that didn't attend have even asked if we
....... . ... went abroad and others are already planning their trips to visit!

....... . ... We'd also like to say how amazed we and our guests were with the food. The canapés & gourmet BBQ were outstanding...
....... . ... Even our vegan friends said how impressed they were! Presentation and taste were spot on - Hats off to the Chef!

....... . ... We were incredibly lucky to of had such a beautiful wedding day and we couldn't thank you enough. We are still slightly
....... . ... overwhelmed with our special day and we couldn't be happier that we chose Tunnels Beaches."

....... . ... "We are two seaside-lovers who wanted to celebrate our love for one another on the best place on earth, our home of Devon.
....... . ... Tunnels Beaches is a very special place and one we will always hold close to our hearts following our wedding in April 2017.

....... . ... The people who've created it, run it and help manage your day from the minute you book to when it's all over (in a flash!) are
....... . ... simply outstanding: professional, efficient, discreet and always smiling. They really are exceptional in all areas - and wow,
....... . ... the food! BBQs will never be the same.

....... . ... The souvenir booklet for the Tunnels Beaches contains some wonderful historic information about how it came to be, and
....... . ... includes Victorian bathing etiquette for boys and girls. One of which sums up everything that is perfect about the Tunnels,
....... . ... their natural flair for being awesome and professional approach to your wedding day.

....... . ... It advises: "Be natural; a pure diamond is better than a good imitation."

....... . ... Thank you Tunnels team for being those diamonds and helping us shine on our special day."

....... . ... "Whoa...the Tunnels Beaches is the most perfect wedding location and will recommend to anyone who listens – we even had
....... . ... a couple of bridesmaids gutted they didn’t find this place first! The renovations really have made a difference to the venue
....... . ... and created so much more space. It really is a beautiful place.

....... . ... This was our first venue we looked at for our wedding and even on the wet and windy January day, we knew we had found our
....... . ... place. If we could love this place in such miserable conditions, things could only get better!

....... . ... The staff, throughout the planning process, were brilliant. They were happy to answer any silly/stupid/random questions that
....... . ... we had and quickly too. Living in Bedfordshire, our visits were limited to just twice but both times we were put at ease and
....... . ... nothing was too much trouble.

....... . ... Our wedding day started so well with the weather that we prepared for an outside ceremony – unfortunately this didn’t stay
....... . ... like this and as soon as Carla walked up the aisle, a few spots of rain appeared. However, staff were available to hand out
....... . ... umbrellas and it wasn’t a problem for anyone! Everything happened so seamlessly – the music, the timings and the drinks
....... . ... ready for us when walked back up the aisle as husband and wife! Your attention to detail, professionalism and efficiency
....... . ... is what made this day perfect and meant we could enjoy the day and not worry about the small things – you guys really know
....... . ... how to run a wedding!

....... . ... The food….whoa….all the guests have raved about the Gourmet BBQ. It was cooked to perfection and we certainly didn’t
....... . ... take advantage of going back for more but we know others did. There is so much choice on the menu that we found this the
....... . ... hardest thing of all to chose from. If we could have it all – we probably would have done!

....... . ... It was a beautiful day. We were surround by close family and friends and wouldn’t have changed things for the world. Our
....... . ... guests have all raved about the location, breathtaking views and your amazing staff. We thank you and in particular we want
....... . ... to say a huge massive thank you to Jacs for all your help and support– we sure did have you running around!

....... . ... Our recommendation to anyone considering Tunnels Beaches – stop looking and just book it!
....... . ... THANK YOU ALL - WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! xxx"
....... . ... Carla & Leo
