What Makes The Hole in the Wall a Special Wedding Venue?

We're a 15th-century, Grade II listed building with a mid-17th century addition to the west gable end. Six hundred years of history, right there in the beams.

And if you're wondering about the name, the pub really did have a hole in the wall. Exhausted farmers and workers would grab their real ales through it, then stumble their way home.
