Staci Sent on 26/07/2024Absolutely beautiful
We eloped just us and our two daughters. It was all about special moments uniting the family together and this venue helped us put it all together. Nothing was a bother and we were made to feel at home.
So many beautiful memories to treasure!

Diane W. Sent on 06/05/2024Amazing wedding venue
We held our wedding here on 4th May 2024 with the All Inclusive package. This is a beautiful hotel and we chose it as it just felt 'right' as soon as we walked through the doors and met our wedding coordinator Sarah who was superb from start to finish. We loved that we had exclusive use of the hotel so everyone could just let their hair down and relax. All the staff worked hard to ensure we had the best experience - nothing was too much trouble. The food was fabulous - so many guests mentioned how good it was. The hotel rooms are super nice and spotlessly clean. We could not have wished for better place to have our special day. Everyone had the time of their life and I would not have changed a thing except the weather maybe! but even the drizzle could not put a dampener on a perfect day . -

We really lucked out with Briery Wood as our wedding venue. It was important to us to have an all-inclusive component, both for ease of planning and to help us stay within our allotted budget. We used their Just Us package and included 7 of our closest family members, giving us the all-inclusive component in the best way. The staff could not have been more kind and attentive, and their wedding team specifically were fast responders to every question. The food was also SO delicious, and the rooms are just so beautiful with special finishing touches. Wishing we could have our special day here again and again!Briery Wood Country House's reply:

Briery Wood surpassed our expectations on absolutely every level! It’s an unassuming, idilic relaxing little haven that we can’t wait to revisit time and time again.
We stayed at Briery Wood during the Bank holiday weekend at the end of May for our small, intimate wedding.
Sarah and her team were wonderful from our initial email enquiry right through to our departure the afternoon following the ceremony. Their dedication and genuine passion to deliver us our perfect wedding and impeccable service was exceptional. Sarah was incredibly helpful and her kind, organised approach was very reassuring, especially since we were a 3-4 hour drive away.
We arrived feeling tired and frustrated after a long journey due traffic delays. But, within ten minutes of checking in we felt like different people!
The fabulous feeling and amazing atmosphere at Briery Wood are something that money just can’t buy. It’s the wonderfully dedicated staff and talented team that make it the exceptionally special place that it is.
We received a lovely welcome and our room was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We stayed in Garden Room 1 which opens out onto a small private courtyard with beautiful views of the landscaped gardens and lovely pavilion where we held our ceremony the next day.
We’d originally intended to take our dog along for the weekend but given the long journey in warm weather we made other plans. We fully intend to revisit and take him with us because the hotel is very welcoming and accommodating for dogs. Although I’m a dog owner myself I am quite particular and a bit of a clean freak! I was genuinely impressed at the cleanliness and freshness of the room, especially given that it was one of the rooms which allows pets to stay.
The food, oh the FOOD! you won’t leave here hungry. Our only regret is that our appetites weren’t big enough to sample all of the delicious options on offer!
I have several health conditions and dietary requirements, but the staff and talented chefs could not have been more helpful, understanding and accommodating. It was very reassuring that the team were so knowledgeable, and I was able to relax and enjoy the delicious and beautiful dishes without worry.
On the first evening we ate from the Grill Menu which was fantastic.
On our Wedding Day we thoroughly enjoyed the 7 Course Taster Menu which was absolutely exceptional!! We loved the whole unique experience, dining along with our guests in our own private room. All dishes were beautifully presented and tasted even better than they looked and smelled!!
(The evening beforehand we were shown the menu as the chef had thoughtfully and carefully selected several suggestions and substitution options to cater the menu to my necessary dietary requirements).
As if that wasn’t enough, we also had Afternoon Tea included in our package. We’re rather partial to an Afternoon Tea and Briery Wood’s was by far the best we’ve had! It offered an excellent blend of (all handmade) savoury and sweet options including sandwiches, warm Welsh Rarebit and sausage rolls, filled cheese scones, panna cotta, cream cakes and scones and so SO much more! (We couldn’t finish everything so boxed up to take home with us!).
I could keep on writing lots more about our wonderful stay. A HUGE thank you to all of the amazing team; Sarah for helping to make our wedding absolutely perfect. Matthew and Martin for taking such good care of us during our stay. Also, to Kasia, Sona, Richard and the rest of the team who made our stay as wonderful as it was. Thank you again to the chefs and kitchen team for the delicious food and catering to our needs.
Nothing was ever too much trouble and the whole team were outstanding. Thank you so much Briery Wood!! We will be back! x

Kirsty Sent on 04/12/2021Excellent from start to finish.
We eloped to Briery Wood on the 31/08/21 with the just us package which was everything and more than what we expected. The staff are super friendly and make the whole experience absolutely magical. The food is out of this world and the hotel and grounds are picture perfect. We were lucky enough to get a sunny day so we had our ceremony outside in the gazebo which we got to decorate ourselves exactly how we wanted it. We didn’t have to compromise because we eloped at Briery Wood, truly magical. -
