Places to Elope
The UK has many places to elope to, but none are quite as iconic as Gretna Green. Here at The Mill Forge Hotel we’re just two miles away from Gretna Green.
We have everything a couple needs from an elopement venue in one stunning location. Our ceremony venue stands in the grounds of the hotel, and we have three courtyards featuring bedrooms in a variety of styles. The bar and restaurant houses three individual function rooms offering a private dining experience.
Our spectacular gardens are ideal for wedding pictures, and we have a team of expert wedding planners to organise your dream day.
