Had such an amazing experience at this venue, the grounds are absolutely stunning and the host was very responsive Would highly recommend

I will be writing a proper thank you, but wanted to thank you and all you staff asap for the wonderful wedding that you all organised for Alice and Michael. It truly was a lovely day - perfect in fact. Not a thing went wrong, although I understand Gareth fell in the river Ouse whilst taking photo’s ? !! Oh dear. It took me all yesterday to sort out the flowers and now our houses are full of vases with the wonderful flowers and bouquets which we all love. The cake was so beautiful and I hope that the family tradition of the photos of the cake not coming out doesn’t happen on this occasion, apparently Gareth heard this story and went back and took even more to ‘belt and braces’ it! I believe our son and his fiancée are hoping that Gareth and Sarah will do their wedding photos as they were very friendly and so hard working all day even though they were meant to be guests. Your staff all deserve a medal they too were very helpful, friendly very good at whatever was each of their tasks. The meal was wonderful. I am sure you are proud of them, but pat yourself on the back for making such a wonderful team. I will recommend Villiers for any event when people ask my opinion on venue choices. As you know you can even make the weather shine at the right moment. With our very grateful thanks and best wishes. Amanda and Keith Xx

The Dairy was such a unique and stunning venue, the perfect place for our guests to explore. It really is a hidden gem and all our guests commented how special it was. The jetty by the lake was a particular highlight. The grounds are simply stunning with so many photo opportunities. The events team could not have been more lovely. Would highly recommend!

Notley Abbey was the very first and only wedding venue we visited – and we fell in love with it instantly. The charm of the historic buildings, the stunning countryside setting, and the beautifully maintained grounds completely blew us away. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. We had always envisioned an outdoor wedding, and the walled garden area brought this dream to life. The setting is magical, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery – it felt like something out of a fairytale. One of the other biggest advantages for us was having on-site accommodation with a bridal suite and rooms for immediate family. It meant we and the rest of our guests with small children could put our children to bed for the night and still enjoy the rest of the celebration without worrying. The exclusivity of having the entire venue to ourselves for 24 hours made the whole experience feel even more special and intimate. Then onto the Planning, this was done via an online planner – a really helpful tool that streamlined the process. That said, you do need to stay on top of everything, as you’re in charge of inputting all the details from start to finish, but any questions you can contact the team very easily and they get back to you very quickly. The food tasting evening was also such a great idea a few months prior to your wedding day, we sampled so many tasty options of food and wine and were able to choose our menu instantly after the tasting. One point to consider is that you are not able to access the venue until 11am on the wedding day, this meant we had to start the process of getting ready at home, we were completely aware of this and made prior arrangements to make it work, but it’s just something to think about with regards to timings to allow for the extra touch-ups after transitioning. On the wedding day, the team at Notley Abbey made everything run like clockwork. Their attention to detail was second to none. On arrival the staff greet you warmly, help you unload and carry items from your cars, and set up all the extra personal touches. The food was a standout – absolutely delicious! Our guests are still raving about the main course - the ‘coffee-rubbed beef’. The way that the waiting staff all placed the plates down at exactly the same time for each course was a perfect synchronisation. The venue transitions were seamless – one moment everything was beautifully set up, and the next it was magically cleared and reset for the next part of the day. No flowers were wasted or ignored , they just kept reappearing into the next part of the day. The rooms, particularly the bridal suite, are full of character and history – a truly romantic setting to get ready in and spend your first night as a married couple and the breakfast the next morning, both cooked and continental, was a lovely way to round off the experience. Overall Notley Abbey was the perfect venue for a perfect Wedding day.

We booked this venue for our wedding in May 2025 about 1.5 years before the date, and spoke to Amy all throughout our journey. She was always super helpful and quick at being able to help us. We had so many questions along the way, and we were never made to feel like they were stupid. Amy was also very flexible, with our timings, things we wanted to use in the venue, etc. Nothing ever felt like too much. The accommodation and grounds are stunning, our guests are still talking about, and many even made sure they used the hotel facilities and walked around the grounds whilst staying. We did the dry hire package due to having a Hindu ceremony and Civil ceremony, and the value for money in terms of space we were able to use was really good. Would highly recommend.

Could not recommend this venue anymore. Staff were so attentive and willing to help with anything even being asked if they can do so many things and when things feel rushed or out of your control the staff are help. Everything went by so quickly during the day but the planning process leading up to the day was amazing and so helpful. The food tasting was beyond amazing and the staff were so helpful in making changes to the menu for us. On the day we had Maisie help us through out and she truly worked so hard to make sure the day went as smooth as possible even with blips along the way no one else had a clue. Our stay at the hotel made it extra special as well our guests felt relaxed knowing they were leaving the wedding party to go to go and get some rest ready for breakfast in the morning.

Our requirements were for a low-key small wedding with up to 24 family and friends attending. Georgia Chenery, Wedding Co-ordinator, understood our requirements and made some very useful suggestions towards our plans for the day; we were confident the Bull would meet our expectations and they exceeded them. We were free to use our own suppliers for the flowers, wedding cake, photographer, musician and magician at the Wedding Breakfast; Georgia worked closely with them so we did not have to worry about them on the day. Prior to and on the day, both Georgia and her colleague, Head Waiter Daniel Wren were very flexible with small changes we had to make to our arrangements. Daniel ensured that our Wedding Breakfast for ourselves and guests was provided seamlessly; several guests committed on the high level of professionalism and how much they enjoyed the our Wedding. The Bull Hotel certainly helped in making our day a wonderful event to remember for many years to come.

We got married at Burnham Beeches Hotel in August this year and we can honestly say it was perfect in everyway. We were super lucky with the weather so we were able to have our ceremony outside which was beautiful. Everything from the ceremony , to the wedding breakfast and evening venue was perfect. The bridal suit we stayed in was beautiful. The staff are amazing! We were truly spoilt. They put 100 percent into everything for us and our guests. We will be looking to return to stay on our 1 year anniversary.

I stayed here the night before my wedding and I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough. The staff couldn't do enough to help me and Mihaly the rooms manager went far above and beyond to help me and ensure my stay was comfortable and as good as it could be. He even phoned the room to check all was ok.

We chose The Cock Hotel as our wedding venue, and I couldn’t be more grateful to the entire team for making our special day truly perfect. It was an intimate event for our closest friends and family, with a total of 50 guests, including us. From the lovely ladies serving breakfast, who were so kind and supportive when I was feeling nervous and offered words of encouragement, to the lad behind the bar, the cleaners, the wonderful gentleman setting the tables the night before, the lady at reception, and the coordinators, Sara and Tim – what an incredible team! (We’re sorry we don’t remember everyone’s names, but we hope you know who you are, as we will never forget each of you.) We cannot forget the kitchen staff, as the food was beautiful and delicious. The vegan and vegetarian guests were so grateful, and those with food allergies had their needs managed with extra care. Thank you so much! Sara was an angel from the very beginning. Over the course of a year, she patiently answered my countless questions and embraced all of our ambitious ideas. We even had the opportunity to decorate the room the night before after a last-minute cancellation of the event scheduled that evening, which was extremely helpful. Though Sara couldn’t be there on the day, Tim stepped in and was outstanding as the Master of Ceremonies. He handled last-minute issues with remarkable calmness, always with a smile on his face. There was nothing he couldn’t sort out for us, even during a busy bank holiday weekend with the hotel fully booked. Every member of staff we encountered, both during the day and evening, was an absolute delight, making us and our families feel incredibly welcome. Based on the incredible experience we had with all staff, we wouldn’t give them anything less than 5 stars, as they truly deserve it. If you’re considering The Cock Hotel for your event, I wholeheartedly recommend it. I’d choose it again 100 times over. We felt special, unique, and will carry the wonderful memories of the day with us for a lifetime. To Sara and Tim, our heartfelt thanks for your professionalism and attention to detail. We will be forever grateful. Best wishes, Jackie & Joe
