Best day of our lives!!

We had our wedding reception at Dovecliff Hall Hotel on 5th October 2024 and from the moment went to view the venue we knew it was the one.
It held such a warm feeling when we stepped in with a beautiful staircase, beautiful reception room and even better views.
Bianca and Jordan were very accommodating from start to finish and answered any questions we had.
We had the recommended dance floor company for DJ and dance floor, and Andy who was the pianist when our guests arrived for drinks and canapés.
The food was 5* and everyone is still talking about it to this day! Even accommodated for the children / dietary requirements and nothing was too much trouble.
The staff and bar staff were perfect and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them either.
Rooms were perfect and comfortable and breakfasts the next morning was spot on too! There was also no rush to get out the next day, we had breakfast at ease with our guests and packed up the car and rooms.
It couldn’t have been any better or beautiful and we felt so lucky to have our wedding here.

If you are thinking of taking a look around do not hesitate as you will be in safe hands from the get go!
Picturesque views and just on the whole the best venue!
We can’t wait to return for anniversaries, afternoon teas and Sunday dinners!

Thank you again team, especially Jordan! You’re one in a million and Dovecliff are very lucky to have you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Smooth and Easy

I didn’t feel stressed at all. Everyone knew what they were doing. The food was amazing and there was plenty of it. Breakfast wasn’t the best and there wasn’t quite enough food but in relation to the wedding I could improve nothing.

Great venue, very attentive

Dovecliff hall hotel were very attentive of our parties needs from when we arrived the day before to the day after the wedding. We loved that you had the entire venue on your wedding day and the guests really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere this gave, with gardens, various reception rooms and dedicated staff. Food was great, lots of it and our guests left full (which is what we would want). The views are amazing, a perfect backdrop and in particular the bridal suite bath has a fabulous view.

To note in particular how supportive they were of our guests with special requirements, and made sure that access and equipment was available/ moved as necessary.

One thing I would say is that it lacked a properly converted disabled bathroom, though my dad has very particular needs and so we brought his equipment with us, converting at least one bathroom to a wet room would benefit other guests with specific needs in the future and should be a priority.

Wedding day

Our wedding day was amazing i wish i could do it all over again. Dovecliff hall were very helpful and always got back to me on the same day when leading up to the wedding.
All the staff were so lovely and the wedding day just went smoothly thanks to the staff.
The weather wasn't looking good but as soon as the sun came out they had all ready moved the reception drinks outside before me even asking.
Luckily it didn't rain until the night.
Dovecliff hall is a beautiful venue, very clean and all the food was lovely.
I'm glad a chosen this venue for my wedding.

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Wow, what a venue! The venue itself is a lovely place to get married with plenty of places for great photos. The food we had on the wedding breakfast and on the evening was amazing and tasted delicous. The best thing about getting married here, however, was the staff. Leading up to the day the wedding coordinators were super helpful and answered every single query we had (no matter how small or silly). Then on the day the staff were so attentive and ensured that everything ran like clockwork. Everyone was just so lovely to us and really added to our experience.

It was such an easy place to plan our wedding, no fuss and everything done easily. We had a super day. The only criticism is the bar, maybe on functio

Such a magical day and everything went well apart from the bar queue, would definitely recommend to other people

Truly excellent

Dovecliff were nothing short of perfect.

We were managed by Jordan who went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met.

They were extremely professional throughout.

On the day Luke ensured that I never bumped into my groom (and I received tons of compliments from the groomsmen & bridesmaids about him) and Emilia in the evening was friendly, helpful and ensured that nobody drank too much- who again I received a lot of compliments about

The day ran with military precision, and we were assisted completely along the way to make sure no detail was missed

Dovecliff were fantastic, I would recommend them a thousand times over and the only downside is that I can't do the whole experience again

We had exclusive use of the Dovecliff for our wedding. We used all rooms for two nights and everything was perfection! We could check in early into some rooms which was so helpful and the service on the wedding breakfast itself was sublime. Thank you dearly- it was a marvellous day to remember for always and was worth every single penny we spent. We will be recommending to families and friends for a long time. The food was delicious the rooms beautiful and the setting divine. Many many thanks, Love from Mr and Mrs Saunders xoxox
