Beautiful Lodge & gardens (part of Leeds Castle Estate)

Stunning venue with its own beautiful garden, 2 lounges, wood panelled room, 5 double bedrooms & 5 ensuite rooms (+ plenty of hotels close-by for other guests including Leeds Castle rooms). I was able to walk the 10mins across the field to the church and everyone walked back to Battel Hall for our Reception. We were able to use all of the space, indoor and outdoor - which was perfect. Everyone fell in love with the venue and didn't want to leave. We had the best time and would highly recommend.

The perfect intimate wedding

Battel Hall could not have been a more perfect, or have more welcoming staff. It's an absolute hidden gem and it's so much more inviting and beautiful in person. From start to finish, the team helped guide us through any questions we had, and any needs we requested. They were so accommodating to our needs and the perfect friend you would want for planning a wedding. Their wedding package takes all the stress out of planning things yourself, and their suppliers are so friendly too. I diddn't realise wedding planning could be so much fun, and stress? No stress at all! Our wedding changed quite a lot due to restrictions this year, but the team were on hand to help, and in the end, the day was magical, better than we could have expected. I have so much praise for the venue and the team, you can tell they love what they do and the whole experience has been wonderful.
