Great Fosters

Great Fosters is a fine example of Elizabethan architecture.  Set amongst 50 acres of stunning formal gardens, the hotel makes an ideal venue for a wedding ceremony and reception. This grand building became a hotel in the 1930s and has been sympathetically converted by the Sutcliffe Family. Great Fosters possesses a plethora of original details and features and is designated as a Scheduled Historic Monument and Grade 1 listed building. Tempting menus are combined with vintage wines to ensure that your wedding breakfast is a gourmet experience, while the hotel’s gardens – with a Japanese bridge, lake, fountain and Saxon moat – provide an idyllic backdrop for photographs. Following the celebrations, why not stay overnight in one of our 43 luxurious suites or rooms. Special room rates are available for wedding guests too. Our professional and experienced staff will be delighted to advise and assist in planning and organising an unforgettable day.

      a truly wonderful day...
      Amber and I are returned from honeymoon and just wanted to drop you and the team a note to thank you for all the planning and help with the wedding, both in the build up and on the day. It was a truly wonderful day which everyone seemed to enjoy and Amber and I have a whole host of fantastic memories. Thank you in particular to Chef and to Keenan for his oversight on the day.

      it was superb...
      My Son Robert MacDonald had his wedding reception at your hotel at the very end of October this year. I would like to thank the entire staff for making this a magnificent occasion. What a fantastic job you made of the whole day, from the young lad that carried my case to the room for me to those who were in charge that day. The hall just looked as though it had been trasported from a hallowenn drean, it was superb. The meal was delicious and the staff who served it were so in tune and quite immaculate. The gardens were beautiful and the day was truly perfect. Thank you all so very much for the effort you put into it.

      Superb wedding for Susanna & Robert
      Thank you to all who were involved in the organisation of my daughter Susanna's wedding on 30th October. It is a wonderful venue and all the staff were very courteous, delightful and efficient. We all had a wonderful day to remember. Please thank all the staff especially to the Heads - nothing was too much trouble for them. Most of us were deaf but the staff were all very respectful towards them. All commented on the lovely food and were impressed with the service. Great Fosters comes very highly recommended for weddings from a lot of us!! Even all the little extras that Susanna and Robert wanted to make it extra special being held on Halloween weekend - their wishes were granted. Thank you all so much - it was a magical wedding!! Paul & Janice
