Perfect and excellent venue and service

Excellent communication through out our journey of choosing the venue up until the day through Nicky. Hotel staff were all amazing. And all the planning and for Scott and Hannah for putting everything together once we had delivered all the table decorations and venue decorations was beyond amazing and exactly how I wanted it. The food was amazing so moans of my guest commented on how lovely the meal was. And the venue. Big shout out to all the kitchen staff. And the front of house staff that kept everything to plan and on time.
So glad we chose the venue to have our special day.

An amazing day

I was a guest at my friends wedding 20th June 2026. I have never been to Gorse Hill Hotel before. I thought the setting was perfect. Lots of room to socialise in the bar area and outside. Most of all I was impressed with the staff and the way that the day flowed. Every single member of staff that I spoke to were polite, happy and helpful. The meal served was beautifully presented, ample portions and really tasty. The serving staff were very professional.

The main room had its function changed throughout the day and the changeover caused minimal disuption and was super smooth.

Well done to Gorse Hill Hotel and their amazing staff. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a wedding or another function.

The most perfect day

We had our wedding at Gorse Hill Hotel on Friday 29th May 2026, and would like to thank everyone at Gorse Hill for making our wedding so perfect, memorable and enjoyable.

Nicky, the wedding manager, was a brilliant help from the very beginning of the process up until and including the day itself. Her communication, attention to detail, and ongoing support was incredible, and she truly went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel welcome. From greeting family members when they visited prior to the wedding, to checking in on us on the morning of the wedding, to popping down to say hi the day after the wedding, we felt thoroughly supported and welcomed by Nicky. She is a professional, personable, and thoughtful person, and is a brilliant wedding manager.

Brandon, our coordinator on the wedding day, was absolutely amazing. Brandon was there for our pre-wedding meal the evening before, and he was an invaluable support. He helped us in surprising one of our groomsmen with a cake for his birthday, and even helped us as we rehearsed our aisle walks for the ceremony, advising who should stand where and on which side. On the wedding day, Brandon was such a positive and grounding presence. He was there from the very start to the very end of the day, and made sure everything ran seamlessly.

Philippe, the restaurant manager, was truly wonderful during our wedding tasting. He supported us in making the right choices for our wedding menu, whilst also making sure we had a memorable and enjoyable evening. He was funny, kind, and really made this an experience to remember.

The venue itself is stunning. We had our ceremony on the garden lawn outside the Mansion House, and we were so lucky with the weather. The grounds were incredibly kept, with the gardener looking after this the day prior to the wedding, and the beauty of the venue and gardens was complimented by so many of our guests. Our wedding breakfast was held in the Mansion House restaurant and was incredible. The food was delicious, and the food service was impeccable, with every guest on a table being served at the exact same time. We were so impressed with how seamless this was. Our evening reception was held in the Garden Suite, which felt like a second whole venue! We opted for the Mexican Buffet for our evening food, and once again the food did not disappoint. We have received many compliments from our guests about the delicious food, impeccable service, and hugely friendly staff. The team were amazing at setting up the Garden Suite exactly how we pictured, with attention to detail at every moment. The venue is absolutely dreamy in the evening with the beautiful string lighting across the path, and felt so comfortable and relaxing for us and our guests.

We would highly recommend Gorse Hill to any couple on the hunt for their perfect wedding venue. It is such a beautiful venue, with so many perfect photo opportunities, and (in comparison to many other venues we visited) feels so private and personal.

Thank you again to everyone at Gorse Hill for helping to make our day so perfect. We look forward to visiting soon to reminisce on our wonderful day.

Danielle and Alex

Gorse Hill was an amazing place for our wedding 19.7.25. The grounds and rooms were beautiful and all our guests complimented how amazing the venue was. We also had lots of complements about how delicious and tasty the food was from the Canapés to the main meal and also the evening food! On top of that, there was plenty of space across the venue to make the most of everything we wanted to do. This included capturing group photos, hiring a Photo Booth as well as a sax player, and having adult games on the grass area (even though the weather prevented us from using them). The venue were able to accommodate for bad weather too, which helped us still have the best day. All the staff were friendly and helpful not only on the day, but in the months leading up to our wedding too. The hotel rooms were also lovely to stay in.

Beautiful wedding

We recently had our wedding at Gorse Hill, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Everything on the day was seamless from start to finish — the communication, the planning process, and especially the day-of coordination. The venue itself is stunning — The grounds, the hotel and the event space were perfect for how we saw our wedding. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and how delicious the food was. The atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for: romantic, relaxed, and most importantly unforgettable.

A huge thank you to Brandon for going above and beyond to make sure every detail on the day was perfect. We truly felt supported every step of the way and were able to enjoy our day completely stress-free. He is the person you want to have on the day to help and guide. If you're considering Gorse Hill for your wedding or event — do it. You’ll be in incredible hands, and your day will be everything you dream it to be.

Thank you to Nicky for brilliant communication, always responding within minutes and being super helpful with organising and planning.

Thank you again for making our special day so magical!

Thank you Gorse Hill Team!

My husband and I got married at Gorse Hill in May and had the most perfect day - in large part because of the amazing team this venue has!

Nicky, Scott and the team were exceptional. Despite our wedding being one of 4 that took place that weekend, everything on the day ran so smoothly and so many of our guests commented on how brilliant the venue and the service was.

Thank you so much for an exceptional day we’ll never forget!!

A Wonderful Wedding


Would highly recommend Gorse Hill as a wedding venue! We had our wedding reception at Gorse Hill in June of this year, and it was a fantastic day from start to finish. From the beautiful, picture-perfect building and grounds, to the amazing food, everything was excellent. More than this, we'd like to say a huge thank you to all of the wonderful staff and management who made this all possible. From the outset and throughout the process of planning our special day, the team were amazing to work with; the service was highly professional, organised and personalised. Thank you so much Gorse Hill x

Wedding 2025

Can't recommend Gorse Hill highly enough. Nicky and the team were fantastic. The whole day ran so smoothly, and everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was and how well organised the whole reception was. We were able to completely relax and enjoy the day knowing that everything was being taken care of for us and for that we're both very grateful. Brandon was also fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more.

The best day

We got married at gorse hill on 26th may and even though this was their fourth wedding in a row, they still made our day the best for us. Nicky our wedding coordinator was very helpful throughout the whole process with whatever questions we had. Brandon and his team on the day helped things run smoothly so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Even without asking they sorted out matching lighting in the ceiling alcoves to match our colour scheme. The food was great too. We would highly recommend this venue!

Amazing Venue & Fantastic Day

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nicky, Scott, and the entire team at Gorse Hill were absolutely incredible from start to finish. In the lead-up to our big day, they were always on hand to answer our questions, offering support, reassurance, and expert advice throughout. Their presence on the day itself was seamless — calm, professional, and attentive — and when a last-minute issue arose, they handled it swiftly and without hesitation, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment.

The food was nothing short of exceptional — we’re still receiving compliments from our guests! Every detail exceeded our expectations, and we’re so grateful we chose Gorse Hill for such a special occasion.

We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a stunning venue with a fantastic team behind it.
