We had a lovely spring wedding. Staff were incredible. Venue is stunning. Just perfect.

We had our wedding at The Dower House Hotel on the 14th of March 2024. The location is picturesque and grounds are stunning. Wedding coordinators Jade and Max were fantastic. All the staff were amazing and made us feel like we were part of their family. During our planning we visited the hotel multiple times and the dishes from the menu were always exceptional. Our wedding breakfast was fabulous and the canopies were out of this world. We will definitely be coming back. Anyone looking for a wedding venue The Dower House Hotel is truly a special place. A big thank you to all the staff who made our day so wonderful. A special thank you to Diane who looked after throughout

I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved with the planning and execution of our wedding on the 29th of April. It was everything we could have hoped for. A special thank you to Carolyn who has been absolutely amazing from day 1, Ethan who is an asset to the Dower house for putting up with our drunken guests (bridesmaids). Professional, friendly and approachable everything you need from a place hosting your big day.

From the initial enquiry to leaving on the morning after the wedding, everything was perfect. Carolyn's help with planning and organising the wedding was exceptional. The whole team on the day, whether front of house or behind the scenes couldn't have done more for us. We would unreservedly recommend The Dower House. So many of our family and friends commented that this was the best wedding venue they have been to.

Can not recommend this venue enough! From the very beginning, Carolyn and her team made us feel so at ease and made the whole process so easy and stress free. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the photos we got were incredible. All the staff throughout the day were so helpful and made the day run so smooth. All of our guest raved about how amazing the venue and staff were. If you're thinking about getting married here then please do! You won't regret it!

We chose The Dower House for our wedding venue, for its lovely grounds, the fabulous willow tree overhanging the pagoda.
The wedding coordinator was fantastic, patient and supported us from beginning to the actual wedding day, couldn’t have asked for more. The staff was also lovely, made everyone feel welcome. Food was fantastic and nothing on much trouble for anyone.
Wish we could do it all,over again
Would highly recommend

We had the most amazing Wedding at Dower House. From the moment we looked round the venue we knew that this was where we wanted to have our special day. From the first appointment we had with Carolyn until leaving the hotel the day after our wedding we couldn't have been treated any better. Carolyn and her staff went above and beyond and nothing was ever too much trouble. We were lucky enough to get married outside and it was was an absolutely perfect setting - equally the setting inside is just as nice. The food was absolutely amazing and was enjoyed by all. The bridal room was such a nice touch for the girls to get ready in together and made the morning a lot easier. The day ran smoothly thanks to all the staff and we would love to turn back time and do it all again. If you're thinking of getting married, look no further, Dower House is an absolute must!

at the Dower House. From the initial through to check out after the big day the experience was perfect. Carolyn and her team were brilliant they host weddings week in week out and we’re able to pass on all that knowledge to make sure our day went off without a hitch. Carolyn gently reminded me if I had forgotten any deadlines and kept us on track arranging a hassle free date about a month before to meet and go through all the finer details, to check we knew what was going to happen and that nothing had been forgotten. On the day the managers kept checking in with us throughout with out it feeling obtrusive and let us know if they were ending their shift. Even though they see so many weddings the staffs energy was brilliant and it never felt like just another wedding. The night bar staff especially were great having a little dance behind the bar and keeping the shots flowing. The food was incredible we do enjoy our food and aren’t easily impressed but the meal was great and all our guests were happy. I’m a vegetarian and usually feel like my food is an after thought but I was very happy with my Orzo. The venue it’s self is stunning and a perfect back drop to all the photos. We were allowed to set up the night before as as we had opted to decorate everything ourselves and arrange all the flowers this meant we could take our time and there was no pressure and it looked stunning. We are busy and by using the Dower house meant that everything was arranged and we made little else to do. I stayed the night before and then was allowed to get ready in the amazingly spacious bridal changing room. We got married in the folly, had our reception, dinner and party there, stayed the night along with many of the guests and then met up for breakfast in a private room. Had we had to arrange cars, caters etc it would have meant a lot more stress. Our wedding day was magical and much of this was down to the choice of venue nothing was to much bother and we had the time of our lives. I just wish we could do it all over again it was so much

The team at The Dower House really helped to make our wedding the most amazing day! The venue itself catered for every aspect from getting ready, to the ceremony and then the wedding breakfast. During our first meeting with Carolyn she was very clear about all of our options and then which plan and rooms would best suit our idea – to surprise our families with a wedding on my birthday!! Despite the November date I was adamant we were going to use The Folly for our service and Carolyn did everything she could to make sure this happened. She and her team helped us to come up with the plans to keep our families completely in the dark until we arrived all ready to go, and then ensured that the ceremony itself and the meal after were exactly as we had hoped.
I’d highly recommend both the venue and the team!

We had the most amazing wedding day at the Dower House . From the stunning location , the amazing food and the smooth co-ordination of the day by Carolyn and her staff nothing was to much trouble . We couldn’t have asked for anymore our day was just perfect and the memories are unforgettable.

From our very 1st visit with Carolyn through to the day after our wedding the whole team at the Dower House Hotel were absolutely amazing.

The venue is beautiful and the welcome we received was warm and caring. Nothing was too much trouble.

We were kept well informed and up to date during the build up to our big day by Carolyn. We had several visits, including the menu tasting (which was fantastic) and were made to feel welcome and valued everything. When we took our children to show the venue Chelsea was brilliant and made a big fuss of them.

The evening before we stayed over and had a few family members over and were given a room to dine in by ourselves where we could all be together. Max came to introduce himself as he would be looking after us in the evening on our big day.

On the day everything was perfect. Our guests were all welcomed with open arms and loved our choice of venue. The food was fantastic and everything was timed to perfection.

We would like to thank Carolyn, Chelsea, Max and the whole Dower House Team for making our stay fabulous.

Wedding date 26th Feb 2022

Our original wedding date was 6.02.2020. We had changed our date 3 times over the 2 years, and even though staff and management had changed over this time. The quality of service and the flexibility the Dower house showed us was amazing. The dower house was the first venue we looked around in 2019 when looking for a wedding venue, and we straight away fell in love for the place. It is the perfect size venue and a beautiful setting for a wedding. The food is top quality, and uses local produce and suppliers. The rooms are beautiful, and the lodge has a separate room which is great for the bridal party to get ready in, full length mirrors and hair and make up stations. Our day was managed so well, and we felt completely at ease and looked after from the pre planning stages to the day after the wedding. Everything was managed perfectly. The staff are friendly helpful and excellent people. There genuinely isn't enough i could say to do the venue justice, it is just simply fantastic and if you are planning a wedding i urge you to look at this venue.

A wonderful place to get married and excellent service, all the staff are very attentive and an absolutely outstanding service.
All our guests had an amazing time and absolutely loved the Dower house.
They make you feel special with a very warm welcome.

We wouldn't choose anywhere else to have our wedding. The Dower House was the first venue in that we looked at and were blown away straight away.
Carolyn from the first time we met was warm, welcoming, a great listener, excellent communication and understood what we were hoping to achieve for our big day. Through-out the planning Carolyn was responsive and always there to answer all questions that we had.
On the big day, all the staff were exemplary! The day went so smoothly, we loved it!! We must mention the food....oh my ...the FOOD! Delish!

We highly recommend the Dower House, its beautiful setting and wonderful team make it just the best day, we cant thank them enough!
