About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: March 2026

Cuckney House is an irresistibly romantic small wedding venue for up to 50 guests, and our approach lets you curate a wedding that is unique to you.

The beautiful Georgian Manor has four reception rooms, a panelled ballroom, private landscaped gardens, and a walled garden, creating the idyllic backdrop for your special day.

When it comes to accommodation, your guests will have the run of the house and its 15 bedrooms, sleeping 31 guests (or up to 40 with sofa beds). We also have nine holiday cottages on the estate that can be hired separately for any additional guests.

Facilities

Cuckney House is licensed to hold civil ceremonies in our small outdoor Victorian pavilion, dining room, or stunning panelled ballroom.

There is also a beautiful Grade I listed Parish Church dating back to the 12th Century, only a few minutes walk from Cuckney House, where we can put you in touch with the friendly local vicar.

The landscaped gardens are ideal for reception drinks, or choose from the bar, drawing room, or dining room. The wedding breakfast can take place in the elegant, panelled ballroom, which seats up to fifty or the dining room, which seats up to twenty-eight. If you prefer informal outdoor dining, you could hire heaters and create a fairy-lit haven in the walled-garden dining area, which seats 20. We also have a marquee that can be hired at an additional cost.

The panelled ballroom makes a great disco/dance floor, and music can continue until 11 p.m.

Services Offered

The house and its five acres of grounds are exclusively yours during your stay, meaning you have full use of all the house's facilities, including the kitchen, bar, games room, tennis court, two hot tubs, table tennis table and badminton court.

The venue also has ample private parking and an electric car charging area.

The house is powered by renewable energy heat sources and solar panels, making it ideal for climate change-conscious couples.

We can help put you in touch with local wedding suppliers and catering companies.

The best addition to our Wedding weekend!

What can we say - Cuckney House is truly wonderful!! We recently had our wedding at the nearby Hazel Gap venue on the Welbeck estate and decided to stay at Cuckney House for the entire weekend with some of our friends and Family. The house was perfect. Not only is it extremely spacious and well thought out but it also allows for any occasion. We had a private chef and meal for 40 guests on the first night, followed by hair and make up prior to the wedding the day after, and finishing with a cosy chill out day in front of the fire post wedding.

Ross and his team could not have done anymore to make our trip perfect. Cuckney House really did create the perfect wedding weekend - we have already started organising a trip back for our first anniversary with all our guests wanting to join us at the house again next year.

If you are planning a wedding at Hazel Gap, staying at Cuckney really is a must!!

Thanks to Ross and the team for being the best hosts.

Amazing stay

We stayed here for a few days for our wedding at Hazel gap barn. We stayed at cuckney house for 3 nights . We can’t recommend cuckney house and the staff enough. The house is immaculate , with everything you and your guests need. We were stunned by the beauty of the house and grounds , so much so we had some of our wedding photos taken here too. We would highly recommend this venue , we will be staying again in the future for sure .
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
