    The perfect wedding

    From planning to the day, every part was perfect! The staff who were faultless, the food outstanding, the rooms amazing and to have a venue that caters the ceremony, meals and evening just made the day so stress free!

    Fabulous venue for an intimate wedding

    We chose the talbooth house and spa from australia and didn’t get to see it in person until the week before our wedding and it was utterly perfect! We couldn’t have asked for more, leading up to the wedding Keighley was incredibly prompt and always super helpful. Likewise staff on the day were exceptional. Food was divine, our guests still talk about it! Loved the different spaces, using the pool area for drinks and wedding cake was awesome!

    Wonderful!

    We had a small intimate wedding at Talbooth House and Spa and it was just perfect. From the events team leading up to the big day and then on the day itself, the staff could not do enough for us. Nothing is too bigger job for them and they made the day so special.

    We had exclusive use of the house and it was such a wonderful day and night finishing off with breakfast in the morning before our guests checked out. The food and service was fabulous (our guests loved the beef wellington!).

    We used the spa on our second day and the treatments where lovely. It was the perfect end to our wedding.

    I cannot recommend the venue enough, if you are looking for a venue for a small, intimate wedding then this is the place to go.

    Calm, relaxed, stunning

    After our original covid wedding was cancelled and our original venue let us down, we came to Talbooth and they couldn't be more accomodating. We had lovely in person meetings and tours, really welcome staff from day 1 who really listened to our vision. They answered all emails quickly and the team worked so well together and communicated well!
    I was able to stay in the most beautiful cottage at Talbooth which was absolutely stunning, so spacious and luxurious, really kept me calm and relaxed before the big day!
    On the day of the wedding, the wedding team were so organised, I had a car to pick me up, everyone was so friendly and they made our day run so smoothly!
    The venue is so picturesque and we were able to capture such amazing photos. All our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was and our photographer was in her element.
    I cannot thank the team enough for bringing our vision to life, giving us a perfect, relaxed intimate wedding!!

    wish we could do it all again!

    Hi Emily,

    I just wanted to drop you a line to say what a fabulous time we all had at the weekend, and to extend my thanks to all of the staff working that day/evening. They were all so helpful, friendly and relaxed, there when they were needed and not when they weren't.

    I think they all thought it was a bit wild, but hopefully they enjoyed it too.

    I wish we could do it all again!!

    Surpassed our expectations in every way

    Dear Emily,

    Its a month ago since our wedding at Le Talbooth and we wanted to send you a note to thank you sincerely for one of the best days of our lives, one we will remember forever. Your venue was perfect, and surpassed our expectations in every way. Your staff were faultless all day, the food amazing throughout, with careful attention paid to every detail. The Maison hotel was a perfect setting for our evening reception, and you even arranged perfect weather for us!! :)

    You and your events team did a marvellous job, a BIG thank you from Renata and I for making our day very special indeed. See you for our wedding anniversary!

    Tony and Renata Woodhams xx

    seemingly effortless anticipatory service

    Just wanted to say thank you from me and Roy to all the team at Maison Talbooth for making it a truly special birthday weekend – from arriving Friday afternoon to sadly leaving Sunday morning everything was great, the welcome, the rooms, the pool the food, the service throughout was exemplary. Dinner at Le Talbooth on Friday night was spectacular, again great location, great service, great food the perfect start to our weekend of celebrations. I have posted something suitably glowing on Trip Advisor, I too work in hospitality and know how hard the team have to work to provide that seemingly effortless anticipatory service, please pass our thanks on to all concerned.

    We have received a number of thank notes from our friends and family who attended they have all mentioned the great hotel and team, I am sure you will be seeing some of them again in the future and you will certainly see us again.
