Reviews for Kelham House Country Manor Hotel
Best day of our lives
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the House Manager, Claire. She is a lovely lady who immediately made us feel at home with a glass of Prosecco before leading us on a tour of the stunning house and grounds. The setup, both inside and out, was breathtaking. We knew instantly: this is it, we are getting married here. Sitting down to go through the details was a breeze; the process was easy and entirely stress-free.
Then we met Natalie, our wedding coordinator and decor specialist. Let me tell you, these ladies are incredible! Natalie’s vision for the decor was stunning; we wanted everything exactly as we saw it, and she delivered perfectly.
Fast forward to the big day, we arrived around 11:00 AM and were completely overwhelmed by how amazing everything looked. From the gorgeous guest rooms to the perfection of the outdoor setup, it was a dream. The wedding breakfast room and tables were simply stunning, and our cake by Southwell Cakery was a masterpiece.
The entire day was the best of my life. The canapés and wedding breakfast were delicious, and from start to finish, the service was brilliant. We finished our stay the next morning with breakfast served by Kai, who was so attentive and kind to everyone.
Thank you so much to the entire team at Kelham House for making our wedding truly unforgettable!
Beautiful venue who went above and beyond
We would recommend Kelham to anyone, you won’t regret it.
Our Beautiful Day!
Kelham House – A Brilliant Venue with Amazing Staff
Our wedding coordinator, Olivia, was absolutely fantastic. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She truly understood our vision and brought our dream day to life. From the smallest details to ensuring everything ran smoothly, she allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding.
A big thank you as well to Head Chef Jitka and the entire kitchen team. The food was incredible—so many of our guests commented on both the quality and generous portions. The wedding breakfast service was flawless and perfectly organised.
We’d also like to mention Connor, the night porter, who kindly gathered and secured all of our belongings and decorations overnight, making everything so easy for us the following morning.
Every single member of the team at Kelham House has been amazing. You truly made our day unforgettable, and this place will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Best wishes,
Mrs & Mrs Spillane x
