We first walked round the venue in May 2023 and completely fell in love with it. We booked a couple of days later and since we booked nothing was too much trouble. We had a lot of changes to our wedding package and every change we had was met with ‘of course we can do that for you’. The whole team were fantastic at responding to many email queries I had, no matter how small they were. Joanne was incredible helping us make the small changes so the day reflected us and Andrea was amazing on the day. Andrea was by our sides from first thing in the morning until late into the evening, ensuring we have everything we needed and more. We would recommend Cockliffe to any future couple who want the day personal to them but with constant support from a team of professionals. Thank you to Joanne, Andrea and the team for making our day unforgettable, we are eternally grateful. Mr and Mrs Fraser

Our Perfect Autumnal Wedding

We couldn’t recommend Andrea and the team at Cockliffe enough as a Wedding Venue. The team there are fantastic and nothing was ever too much. From our initial show round right up to our special day they were so accommodating and made everything run so smoothly. The venue is stunning with lovely grounds to enjoy exclusively until the following morning. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were really generous. Thank you Cockliffe for a day we won’t ever forget!

Best day of our lives!

Where do I even begin, Cockliffe country house was an amazing place to get married. We first went along to one of the event days, after seeing lots of other venues we knew Cockliffe was the place we wanted to get married. The staff were incredible and couldn’t do enough for us, we was invited to a menu tasting evening - the food was incredible! But the night itself was also a great way to speak to other couples, see the venue in the evening, and see some styling options and of course try the food options (it was too hard to choose)
On the run up we were assigned a wedding coordinator- Emilie, who was wonderful. We had a sit down meeting in person and discussed everything and she fulfilled everything we wanted on the day. All of the serving and bar staff was professional and friendly on the day too. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, breakfast the following morning was included too for all the guests, again amazing! Only down side was that the room were very cold in the morning, (we got married in November)

The venue itself is a country manor and well maintained, grounds are well kept, the bar, toilets and main room were perfect and clean to an excellent standard.

But honestly the more incredible day, everything ran smoothly and again Emilie was perfect did everything I asked nothing was too much trouble, you can tell she has done so many weddings over the years and knew what she was doing I had no doubt in my mind we picked the best place for us!

Thank you again to everyone at Cockliffe! Worth every penny!

Amazing Venue

Cockliffe Country House was the most perfect venue for our wedding. They went above and beyond to make our day run seamlessly.
The grounds were exceptional and we got some incredible photos.
Having exclusivity was important to us and was something they offered.
Staff were amazing.
Incredible value for money, especially as the 11 rooms were available to use and included in our package price.
Would 100% recommend to any couple.

Oliver & Sarah Wedding 2025

We had a fantastic experience at this venue and would highly recommend any couples to seriously consider them for their wedding. The budget for the venue and rooms at the time of booking was perfect for us and was very good value for money. Even though it was smaller and more unassuming than other venues we looked at, it certainly did not disappoint on the wow factor. The house and gardens are beautiful and were a wonderful back drop for our photos and for our guests to enjoy on the day. The cosy layout of the place really bought our guests together which lent itself to us having a great atmosphere on the day.

The food also had many compliments as well as the service on the day. Our coordinator, Emilie, was very professional, kind and supportive. Nothing was too much trouble and we really felt that she was asking invested in our day as much as we were!

Overall, a brilliant experience and we are so glad we chose to get married here!

An absolute gem of a find, happiest day

We truly had the most perfect wedding day at this beautiful venue. It was so relaxed and effortless. Andrea was amazing and sorted everything for us. I didn't feel any stress at all. All the staff were just so lovely, friendly and kind, we really felt they were happy in what they were doing and it really showed. We loved the little touches like the sparklers and fire pits as well as some fizz when getting ready! . Having everything in one location was just great. The rooms were an added bonus and loved having the family all stay over with and awesome breakfast in the morning. The atmosphere was just great. We just had the most special day and everyone loved it. Food was amazing too!

Stunning Venue

Beautiful venue with amazing people. From start, as we first looked around, until the end of the day, everyone was so helpful and lovely. The grounds are stunning and the house itself made for amazing photos, the Elliott suite looked absolutely stunning. The food was so delicious, everyone thoroughly enjoyed both the wedding breakfast meal and evening food too. Can not recommend this venue enough !

Stunning from start to finish.

We visited several venues, none of which compared to Cockliffe. The location is perfect given the transport and road networks nearby.

We had Jai as our coordinator who was an absolute gem. They were there in the morning, helping me, asking what I needed and generally being a lovely person.

Everyone has commented on the quality and quantity of the food - my brother took it upon himself to eat my dinner and dessert whilst I was mooching around speaking to people and he never eats seconds!!

The venue itself it fabulous value for money, with everything - food, venue hire and accommodation we spent around £12,000 which made getting married achievable for us.

Every member of staff that we spoke to was polite, knowledgeable and friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue.

Wedding 28/12/2023

Incredible staff, so helpful, kind and considerate.
Beautiful, clean, modern facility, attenuative to the little details that make your day so smoothly.
Could not have wished for a more magical day.

The food was outstanding, from canopies, the main meal and breakfast the next day.
Love how they catered to the children too as my wedding had 9 children all under 12.
Breakfast the next day was freshly cooked to order, and was no problem if you wanted to change things up a little.

The grounds are beautiful (wish we got out a little more but we had a winter wedding)
We did sparklers in the evening which created some beautiful memories and photos, the kids love it, so give it a go!

Rooms were huge, beds were comfortable and it was lovely and toasty all day and night.

Lots of places to take beautiful photos.

Highly recommend.
