The Three Hills is a beautifully restored and multi-award winning 17th-century coaching inn located in the heart of the village of Bartlow, only 20 minutes from Cambridge and 30 minutes from Stansted Airport. With highly experienced staff and an award-winning kitchen, stunning landscaped gardens and patios, a bridal suite, a family flat and five other luxury ensuite guest rooms, we have the perfect location for your special day.


With only a limited number of weddings a year, every wedding is treated as the unique and special event that it is. From the minute you choose The Three Hills to host your event, you can relax, secure in the knowledge that every detail is taken care of for you. All you have to worry about on the day is having a fabulous time!


Your wedding breakfast will be one of the highlights of the day, so it has to be memorable. The Three Hills holds two AA Rosettes and a Michelin Plate for Good Cooking, and in 2021, it was voted highest newcomer in the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs. In 2022, we won Best Rural/Country Pub in the UK in the Great British Pub Awards and Best Boutique Stay in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire in the Muddy Stilettos Awards, and in 2023, we won Best Pub in the East of England in the National Pub and Bar Awards.


As we are an intimate venue, all rooms must be booked for your event, the cost for which can be covered either by your guests or by yourselves. Each of our stunning rooms with ensuite bathrooms features pocket-sprung mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets, large fluffy towels, rain head showers, Roberts radios, Nespresso coffee machines, fresh milk, and White Company toiletries. There are four rooms in the Guest Lodge at the rear of the property, three of which have king-sized beds and one with twin beds. On the first floor of the pub, we have our bridal suite - a large luxurious room with an ensuite bath and shower - and our smallest but cutest room, also with a king-sized bed and ensuite shower. Our self-contained two-bedroom flat next door is perfect for families or for the bridal party who may wish to gather for pre-wedding celebrations. The first bedroom has a king-sized bed while the second has a standard double, making it suitable for up to five people - either three adults or two adults and three children.

You should get married here!

The Three Hills was always on our list of potential venues for our Wedding. Why? When it’s not a wedding venue for your day it’s a cracking pub. The Three Hills serves the best food around by talented chefs young and old and It has exquisite charm & style – a lovely bar, orangery, beautiful accommodation and a canopied outdoor space which is extra special. It also serves beers from local breweries and most importantly the Guinness is great!
After we saw a couple of venues we went to The Three Hills to talk it through with Emma and Victoria over a coffee or three. We love the pub, and after a tour of what our day could become, & a chat with Rob and Charlie the chefs, we knew that it was the only option for us.
Emma, Victoria, Rob and Charlie worked with us over the coming months to plan our day. From our own menu through to in-depth chats about our day in 15 minute bites, we together achieved a perfect plan ahead of our wedding day.
On the day it absolutely hammered it down. Our wedding was all about the outdoor and despite the rain the space was utterly magical. It did not dampen our spirits but heightened them.
The service, food, music, space and atmosphere was tremendous - we were blown away by how special it was.
The Three Hills, Emma and the team, are an exceptional team – they are experts in what they do, and now I’m pretty sure we’re family too.
All of our guests, including us, believe it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to (excluding their own)!

Best decision we made for our special day

The team at The Three Hills couldn’t do enough for us! This really was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Everything was absolutely stunning, the staff were professional, helpful, knowledgeable and fun! Both Kelly and Emma made sure we had everything covered and really took the load off of our shoulders so we could enjoy the countdown to our special day. We could never thank them enough for giving us this fairytale.

Beautiful venue, amazing food, lovely team!

To everyone at The Three Hills, we just wanted to say the biggest THANK YOU for hosting our wedding!! We had the best day and had so much fun! Thank you so much for all your hard work, time and energy that went into making the whole experience seamless and amazing! You made everything seem so effortless and relaxed - but we know how much work this took! We are so pleased we chose to have our wedding with you - it was such a joy from start to finish! The food, service, aesthetics and ambience were perfect. There was so much attention to detail, from calligraphy signs, to candles, confetti and flowers at breakfast! And all our guests said it was the best food they had had at a wedding by far. Thanks for making us feel so welcome, we really appreciate you all!

Wedding celebration

We had our evening wedding celebration at the Three Hills in Bartlow last Saturday. We were a party of 60, and had a sit down wedding feast outside under the canopy.
It's a fantastic venue, the tables were beautifully laid out and the lighting is very pretty. Most of all, the food is outstanding, all our guests commented on this.
After the meal, the team quickly moved the tables and set up an area for dancing. Everything was done very efficiently.
We'd highly recommend this venue.

The Perfect Country Wedding

It was all so easy. Emma and her team (Kelly and Max among others) were so clear, organised and responsive. The chef was also perfectly happy to experiment with ideas we had (baked camembert and honey; we wanted to infuse a bit of France), in a wonderful dialogue with us, as we worked with the different set menus. The venue is exquisite. My husband and I both wanted a country wedding and simplicity (in the best sense of the word): we'd found a beautiful medieval threshing barn (but that was £6k to hire, even before we started on the actual catering!). And we really didn't want all the hassle of stress of doing our own event management: this was about us getting married, not practicing our organising skills - Emma and her team have all that organisational flair, and we could just enjoy the day. The best photo of us from our wedding is Paul and I laughing in the green field at the back of the Three Hills. And that is testament to how relaxed we felt, and how beautifully smoothly the day went. Everyone loved it: the food, the landscape, the building, the bar! It was a truly magical and joyful day, one we shall never forget and the team at the Three Hills were absolutely fundamental in making it happen. In typical bride style, I was talking so much, I hardly ate. I completely missed out on dessert but remembered the wedding cake and cheese. Everyone else tells me the food was divine!

The Perfect Wedding Venue

We had the most incredible, magical wedding at The Three Hills. We honestly cannot thank Emma, Kelly, Harry and all the staff enough for everything that they did. It was a dream to plan our special day with them from start to finish and nothing was a problem. We were able to personalise our day completely down to the tiniest details.

The food was insane, Harry the chef was so friendly, and made sure that we had everything that we wanted. So many of our guests said that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had - and he even created a salted caramel brownie station for us! As well as accommodating vegetarian, gluten and dairy free diets.

All the staff were incredible, so friendly, accommodating of last minute covid changes ad all entered into the spirit of the wedding making it the most amazing day. We hired out the venue and therefore also booked all of the rooms on site for our friends and family to stay at. The rooms are perfect, very comfortable, clean and cosy.

We cannot recommend The Three Hills highly enough.
