Cockliffe House Hotel and the brilliant team

Planning a wedding during a pandemic was always going to be a big ask but not for Jo & the team at Cockliffe House. We were so well supported through the planning, on the day (and even afterwards) we couldn’t have asked for a better planning experience and wedding day with the team.

The day was perfect, and everything which we’d discussed (even the little things) was delivered by the team perfectly and with ease.

The venue looked amazing and the Cockliffe team worked really well to accommodate our suppliers and ensure everything went to plan.

On the actual day we had a heat wave, but the team continued to go above and beyond and we’re forever grateful to them for there amazing commitment to helping us.

The venue is beautiful and the food exceptional, would recommend to anyone! They help create magical moments which you will never forget.

Amazing wedding day

Our wedding at Cockliffe Country House on Saturday 21st August 2021 was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The staff were excellent, were always available when we needed and worked incredibly hard to ensure everything ran smoothly - we can’t thank them enough, especially Joanne and James. The whole day was really relaxed and all of our guests had a truly wonderful time, as did we. The food was excellent and everyone commented on how much they enjoyed it, the pizzas went down extremely well in the evening.
Thank you so much for making our wedding a day to remember!

Butchered a wedding

From my understanding the venue is under new management so this is an up to date review and doesn't reflect upon the old management.
Of ALL the formal or even informal events I've attended in my entire life this had to be the worst managed. It's as though they just left the bride and groom keys to the building and left them to themselves.
People were arriving without a clue were to go without a staff member in sight, eventually a young girl was found and put on the bar but wedding guest arriving from 11am couldn't even get coffee or water, people were arriving parched from driving from all over the country to be told no coffee and I personally waited an hour to get a drink of water.
By the time the wedding started there were still no staff around and no management, although more staff had arrived they were all young students and although nice they were not the calibre of experienced staff you would expect at a wedding.
The food was supposed to be served at 3pm, it didn't even start coming out until 4.30 and the quality was shocking, the service shocking, no water on tables, no condiments, some tables waited 3hours for mains, 3hours! Vegetarians were given meat, vegans meat and dairy! The food itself awful, the beef definitely from the day before. Evening guest were arriving to the same horror as day guest with nowhere to go, no bar open, nowhere to sit, whole venue covered in empty dirty glasses that had been piling up all day. I could go on and on... Awful.

Wedding venue

Mark and I cannot thank Andrea & Joanne and all of the team at Cockliffe enough. We held our wedding in December and the whole house was festively dressed, which instantly gave the day the wow factor! The team could not have been more helpful, from the planning stages there was always someone available to answer questions and accommodate our requests. The day itself ran without a hitch, our guests were blown away with the stunning quality of food served during the wedding breakfast it was absolutely delicious! The room was turned around with ease ready for the early arrival of our evening guests. We had compliment after compliment so a massive thank you to everyone for helping to make our day so special ❤️

Nichola & Gareth's Wedding

We got married at the Cockliffe Country House Hotel on Monday 29th October 2018 and had a truly wonderful experience. The staff, in particular, were excellent, so much so that we thanked them during the groom's speech. They worked tirelessly all day to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that the venue was kept clean and tidy. The whole day was very relaxed and a huge part of that was due to the excellent team. They were un-intrusive but always there when needed.
We hired the whole venue and all our guests who stayed at the hotel loved the elegant, well-equipped rooms. The food, in particular, received high praise from everyone.
Thanks, Cockliffe Team, you helped make our day one we will always remember.

Paul and I just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic wedding you gave us. The place looked amazing and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. All our guests commented on the excellent food and friendly staff. We are going to do a review on trip advisor saying all this. Many, many thanks to you all for making the day special from start to finish

Wedding Venue of our dreams

We wanted an intimate wedding venue and that is what you get with Cockliffe. All our guests were amazed at how we found it - a real gem. For us, with 50 guests in the day, it was ideal, as all our loved ones were able to spend it with us in this fantastic location. Sue Lees, wedding co-ordinator extrodinaire! We were not disappointed and would recommend this venue as a picturesque place to get married and have a wonderful reception with excellent food. Guests were delighted with the quirky rooms, not one the same. Had a day to remember and it went too quickly. Very envious of anyone who will get married there, wish i could do it all over again!

The beautiful weather, live music and real ales were the finishing touches to an amazing day.
