Our experience at the Bedford Swan Hotel was exceptional from start to finish. Amie, our wedding co-ordinator, was absolutely fantastic—from our initial viewing of the venue right through to the big day. She was always helpful, responsive via phone and email, and consistently polite and attentive. On the wedding day, Stuart and his team were incredibly well-organized, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed a spa session the day before the wedding, and the facilities were excellent—a perfect way to relax ahead of the celebration. Our room was stunning, with a very comfortable bed, adding to the overall luxury of the experience. The entire process was stress-free, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our special day. Highly recommended

We had a lovely day on our wedding at Woodland Manor. Throughout the whole process of planning the wedding the staff were great at communicating with us and would always answer any questions we had throughout our wedding journey. The staff are always so friendly and everyone at our wedding complimented how lovely the food was. The venue is stunning and our guests love the variety of drinks Woodland manor had to offer. The bridal suite was beautiful and spacious and it was so lovely being able to get ready in there with my bridesmaids. There were just a few minor issues that we had during our day. The first was issues with music during our ceremony. Walking down the aisle the music was very quiet at first and hard to hear and then our exit song down the aisle couldn’t really be heard till after we had walked down the aisle. The other was that we felt a bit rushed to do cake cutting and our first dance in the evening but we understand that the staff did not have much time to change the room around after the meal. Another small thing was that when I was getting ready the morning of the wedding I was told that they thought my ceremony was at 12pm (the ceremony was at 3pm), which I felt this was something they should have known as they had gone through our schedule with us in our final meeting of the wedding. While these things were only minor, we felt they still impacted our experience slightly.

On the Friday evening we had 60 guests staying at Warren Weir. We had a lovely evening together with a delicious buffet.. whites coaches provided transport to and from church. We all had a wonderful welcome when we arrived back at Warren Weir and from then on everything was outstanding. Janet’s attention to detail is second to none! She was so efficient, nothing was too much trouble. I cannot praise her enough Bobby looked after everything at the wedding breakfast, he was always there checking we were happy I must also mention the accommodation which, like everything else was perfect. Very comfortable and well appointed. All in all an absolutely fabulous occasion from beginning to end. I wish we could do it all again!

The Woodland Manor hotel is a breath of fresh air. The manager Freya runs the hotel brilliantly. The place is wonderful, but what sets it apart from other establishments is the attention to detail as far as its customers are concerned. Nothing is too much trouble. Everything was achieved with a minimum of fuss; in fact, no fuss and the day ended without a hitch (except for the bride to the groom) It was the best wedding anyone could wish for, the most excellent food and brilliant organisation by Freya and her team. We didn’t get meaningless corporate ‘fixed smiles,’ instead, we received the genuine warmth of staff that wanted, as much as we did, for the day to go well. All throughout the weekend, there were staff members wanting to genuinely help in any way they could, from the reception staff to the cleaning team to the bar staff to the kitchen staff to the Chef, to the waitresses to...well, everybody. The Woodland Manor Hotel isn’t a sparkly new hotel; it is, as its title suggests, an charming old manor that has been refurbished, so you have this wonderful fusion of lovely rooms and enchanting surroundings coupled with probably the best customer care experience that we’ve encountered for many years.. The rooms and bathrooms are immaculate. The quality in bed linen and towels etc. are first class. The comfort exceptional. The food is sublime. There will be those who may think that this is a made-up review because it possibly sounds too good to be true. Any doubting Thomas’s are welcome to contact me - my email address is at the bottom of this review, but you only have to contact Freya to experience firsthand the delights of this cracker of a wedding and accommodation experience.

Kim the organiser was so friendly and professional, she took time to vision what we wanted and kept everything running smoothly. The venue is beautiful and the food was amazing. So happy we had our wedding here. It was elegant and not over the top while still being high class, what we were looking for. Very happy.
