County Hotel Reviews (11) Write a review Thank you Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Stubbs, on 08 May 2018Date of Wedding - 30 Mar 2018 “A massive thank you to the county hotel for helping make our day extra special. All of our guests were made to feel at home and welcomed in like family. Our day couldn’t have been anymore perfect. A beautiful place for our beautiful wedding!Were excited to come stay again Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Holt, on 29 Nov 2017Date of Wedding - 22 Jul 2017 We had a magical time thank you. Everyone said the food was fantastic and the hotel was beautiful. We're excited to come stay again for our anniversary and would recommend the hotel to everyone.Cannot thank the staff enough Venue Service By Ben Carrington and Phil Hardy, on 29 Nov 2017Date of Wedding - 17 Jun 2017 We had a fantastic day celebrating our marriage, and cannot thank you and all of the staff enough for everything you have done for us, you made it a truly memorable day and we are so grateful.Went the Extra mile Venue Service By Mr & Mrs King, on 01 Feb 2016Thank you for all your hard work in making our special day run so smoothly. We really enjoyed working with you both and loved the positive attitude of all of you. You really did go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for us. Please also pass on our compliments to the Chef our afternoon tea was wonderfulPerfect Day...Perfect Venue Venue Service By Mr & Mrs C Storey 21/07/07, on 17 Aug 2007From start to finish - outstanding service. We only went to the wedding day for a look and ended up falling in love with it, the rooms for the ceremony and the reception day/night were absolutely beautiful and just what we were looking for. As soon as we booked we were introduced to Laura Laidler who was our co-ordinater - throughout the lead up months and panic stricken days, Laura was a tower of support and professionalism she really does deserve a medal for the job she does as nothing was a problem for her (even the last minute changes were greeted with laughter and smiles). The day before the wedding I took in the usual stuff, table decorations etc for the staff to set up – after the ceremony when we saw the room we were gobsmacked, they had totally exceeded my expectations and made an already beautiful room look truly divine. The toastmaster (Andrew) and his assistant (Lina) on the day also need praise as they too were on hand for any dilemma and assisted in making this day perfect. The food was incredible and as with other reviews about this venue our guests are still commenting on how wonderful everything on the day was and that the food was fantastic. We didn’t care that it rained all day when we got married because we knew this venue was perfect for indoor photos with the stain glassed windows, wood panel walls, the staircase (from heaven we called it) – our photos look absolutely fantastic. It’s a shame I am only allowed 300 words for this review because I could go on forever with praise for this venue. Our perfect day was not only made as such because we were getting married – it was made even more perfect by the staff, the food and the beautiful rooms at The Thistle Hotel and I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue to anyone I know who is thinking about a celebration of any sort.Excellent Service Venue Service By Mr & Mrs M Stephenson, on 13 Aug 2007We recently had our wedding at the Thistle Hotel in newcastle, the service we received was excellent and would recommend it to anyone who wants first class service and food. Everything was so perfect from start to finish, the hotel staff did everything that was asked of them and nothing was a problem. We also have a dedicated wedding planner from the hotel called Laura Laidler who was brilliant- Highly recommended.Fantastic Venue for a Civil Ceremony. Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Carle, on 27 Mar 2007After looking at various Hotels for us to hold our civil ceremony we found The Thistle to be the most obliging and warming in its service. The rooms were beautiful from the stain glass windows where the ceremony was held to the dark wood panelling in the Mozart Suite where the day & evening reception was held.The Hotel was perfect for location being in the centre of the city. Guests still rave about the food now 3 weeks on! The staff were really friendly and made you feel special, nothing was a bother. Thanks for a fantastic day especially to Alan & Sam.All you could want Venue Service By Mick & Stef, on 30 May 2006Excellent Food. Great Service. The Staff were brilliant all day and nothing was a problem for them. The venue rooms were very well presented and even the DJ was a star. On the dull side of things they even have a really good easy to follow pricing system that even i could understand! If you want an enjoyable day with no hassle i couldn't recommend the Thistle more. Thanks to Sam, Alan and the rest of the staff for a brilliant day to remember!Fantastic venue for a Civil Ceremony Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Carle, on 21 Mar 2006After looking at various hotels to hold our civil ceremony we found The Thistle to be the most obliging and warming in its service.
