Hilltop Country House - A beautiful venue anytime of the year!

We celebrated our wedding at Hilltop Country House back in April and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue. From the very beginning, all the way through to our magical day, everyone was incredibly accommodating and nothing was ever too much trouble.

From the moment we arrived on the day of our first viewing, we were enchanted by the beautiful surroundings.
The setting is truly picturesque, with stunning gardens and serene countryside views that provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day. The attention to detail in both the indoor and outdoor spaces is impeccable, making every corner of the venue a potential spot for memorable photos.
The staff at Hilltop Country House were phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that our needs were met. Upon my arrival the morning of the wedding, I was surprised at how instantly relaxed I felt and knew that everything would come together. Their dedication and professionalism were evident from the planning stages right through to the end of our wedding day. No request was too big or small; they were always there with a smile, ready to assist.
The food was a massive highlight with many of our guests commenting on the quality of the Michelin star food and how delicious and beautifully presented the dishes were. Even having our very own his and her cocktails created especially for our day was a truly special touch. The catering team did an outstanding job, ensuring everyone was well-fed and happy.
Overall, Hilltop Country House provided an unforgettable experience, combining elegance, charm, and exceptional service. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a magical place to celebrate their wedding. Thank you, Hilltop Country House, for making our day so special!

Magical day!

Wonderful wedding! Beautiful location, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food. Ideal location for up to 50 guests. Lots of flexibility in the options for menus and drinks packages. All our guests were extremely impressed with Hilltop House and had a fantastic day. Bedrooms were great, especially the bridal suite! Special thanks to Olivia, Beth and Emile, but a very big thank you to all the team!

Hilltop made our special day perfect!

We got married at Hilltop just under a month ago and the day was absolutely perfect.

The planning process was really straightforward thanks to Clare and her years of experience and we went into the day feeling relaxed and prepared.

The venue itself is beautiful, with picturesque countryside views from all sides and pretty plants and flowers all through the gardens. The photo of us in amongst the bluebells is really special and you can even spot the skyline of Manchester in the distance over the rolling hills at the back of the house.

The food was excellent - the menus have options to suit everyone with local ingredients (including herbs from their own garden) and we were thrilled with the quality and the taste of the wedding breakfast and the evening food.

All of our requests were accommodated with ease and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you want to get married in a beautiful place which feels like home, then Hilltop is the venue for you.

The Perfect Garden Venue

We are SO glad we chose Hilltop for our wedding. The day was more special than we could ever have hoped for. Clare was very organised throughout. Being able to come to open days and the tasting event prior to our wedding was amazing. Olivia set up all my decor perfectly on the day. The gardens and outside seating area are stunning. The walk up the aisle through the garden seeing everyone up on the terrace was absolutely incredible. There are so many beautiful areas in the garden for photos. The food was impeccable and the cocktails and bar staff were amazing. And don’t get us started on the freshly cooked pizza in the evening!! Cannot recommend highly enough.

The Best day of our lives

The Best day of our lives happened on the 20th May 2023.

It all started on the 23rd Jan 2022 when I attended an open day with my neighbour and fell in love with Hilltop!

Right there and then I knew our Wedding had to be here, my now husband had never even seen it and trusted my judgement. Obviously I eventually brought him over and he saw in an instance what I saw on that day in January.
It was Clare who made our dreams come true, without her guidance and caring nature we may never have chosen Hilltop.
We want to thank Clare, Iain, Cameron, DJ Emil and the amazing team at Hilltop for making our day that extra bit special.
Clare also recommended an amazing photographer Joe Gardner (his photos are attached) who happened to be her son, he knew all the secret spots to get the greatest photos and stayed with us until 11pm.
We promise we will be back over soon for a catch up and a brew.
Many thanks and Best wishes

Stunning venue with excellent members of staff

We had our wedding reception at Hill Top in September 2022. From speaking to Clare on the phone and having a look around the venue we immediately fell in love with the place. Clare and the team are excellent, really helpful, nothing was ever an issue.
Iain the chef was open, honest and gave advice to how the menu in his opinion would be as we wanted to go around the menu.


The gardens are well maintained and in general beautiful.


Everything about Hill Top was excellent, couldn’t fault anything at all. It’s a shame we cant re-live that day as one of best days of our life’s helped out by all the team. 👏👏

Can we do it again?

We loved Hilltop so much! Everyone was so helpful, accommodating, flexible, supportive. And how important is it on the day! Starting from the breakfast in the room…they are professionals and also amazing people. They will make it the best day for you, they just know how. I wish we could do our wedding every year! :) Thank you!

Perfection

I don't know where to start with the words to begin and describe how amazing this venue and the team who run it are!

On our first visit to Hilltop we fell in love with the surroundings, the gardens, the views, the house, the marquee….just EVERYTHING. We loved the homely and family run nature of the business.

We subsequently got married at Hilltop late February 2023 and could not have asked for a more perfect venue. Our day was just fabulous from start to finish and Clare and her team could not have been more accommodating or on hand whenever we needed guidance. Clare was incredible and went out of her way to tailor our wedding to make it how we wanted it and was always on hand whenever we needed her.

The day couldn’t have run more smoothly, the team went above and beyond on every aspect to make our day just magical. Our guests cannot stop talking about the venue, the party and the food! Chef Iain made changes to the menu to accommodate everyone, and we really did feel like the menu had been made just for us.

The bar, variety of cocktails on offer (thank you to the staff!) and boogie room were all great and everyone has commented on how amazing the entire venue and atmosphere was.

We have created some incredible memories which will remain with us forever. There is a reason Hilltop has been voted the best wedding venue in Cheshire, we cannot recommend it enough! 5*******

Beautiful exclusive venue in the Cheshire countryside

A beautiful venue with wonderful staff. The process was made easy by Clare, Hilltop’s co-ordinator, who has a wealth of experience in weddings. The food was fantastic - one guest said the best wedding food they’d ever had! All the staff the day of the wedding were extremely welcoming and ensured the day went smoothly. Thank you much!

The perfect day, at the perfect venue

We fell in love with Hilltop as soon as we saw it. Clare and the whole team were so supportive of our many date changes (due to covid) and made the process so smooth for us.

The planning felt seamless both beforehand and the management of it on the day, and we loved being able to have a completely bespoke menu, Iain was a pleasure to work with on the food choices.

On the day everything went perfectly, we got ready at the venue, went to church and then returned for our reception. Our guests all commented on how beautiful the venue was . The flow of the day was really smooth, something that was very important to me, as I’ve been to many weddings where it’s felt disjointed being pushed out of a room and into another, changing the atmosphere of the day.

The bar was great and boogie room was perfect for our band and big party, leaving a quieter environment for the family in the marquee and outside was great to suit everyone’s needs.

We loved the venue and couldn’t have asked for more for our special day.

Our wedding of dreams 🤍


We had the best wedding day of our lives at The Hilltop Country House on 05.08.23 🤍🤍🤍 the most beautiful venue, grounds & setting for our wedding day ❤️

From the outset, Clare & the Hilltop team were absolutely wonderful, they were so kind, they listened to us every step of the way, gave us brilliant advice & they were so supportive about all our thoughts & ideas for our wedding day 🤍

We are thrilled that our wedding dreams came true at The Hilltop Country House & we want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day so special & truly memorable 🤍

The Perfect Day

From the moment I picked up the phone to the venue last year I knew this was going to turn into something special. The day was exactly as we envisioned it to be. From start to finish Clare made the planning and organising of our wedding day easy and relaxed. Her extremely kind and calm nature meant we could steer clear of any panic or worry, and I’m so grateful for that. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

The day itself ran like clockwork and we felt like guests rather than hosts - just as was promised. Despite the typical British weather, the beautiful house, gardens and marquee provided the perfect backdrop for us to celebrate with our nearest and dearest.

Iain and Cam outdid themselves with the food and drinks, and Emil did his job excellently too. All of our guests were extremely happy with only positive things to say.

It was a day we’ll never forget, and for that we can’t thank Hilltop enough.

Hilltop Country House - Sam and Samantha

A perfect and beautiful venue. We cannot recommend Clare, Olivia and the rest of the amazing team enough. From first viewing to the last dance, they made sure it was the perfect day for us and accommodated our every wish. Food was exquisite, the settings were perfect and the day ran faultlessly. We could not have asked for a better wedding.

The happiest day of our lives.

We got married in July at the magical Hilltop. Our wedding was just perfect.
The house,garden and the marquee are looking more beautiful than ever and the outdoor bar and pizza oven are such an amazing addition.

Clare looked after us so well and calmed any nerves we had in the build up,she is immensely organised and clearly treats each wedding with great care and pride. I cannot praise her enough.

I must also, like every one of my friends that I have seen since we married say how incredible the food was, they have all repeatedly mentioned how much they loved it. Iain is an amazing chef.

We were thrilled with the bar wonderful service and such a wide variety of choice and we loved having our own personalised wedding cocktail, such an charming individual touch to our wedding day.

We recommend Hilltop Country House so highly. Your wedding is one of the biggest and most important days of your life and when you marry at hilltop it will be the day you’ve both been dreaming of.
