The most magical wedding venue!

Where to begin! Choosing Hilltop county house for our wedding was absolutely the best decision we made. It's been a week since Oliver and I got married in the beautiful gardens surrounded by all our friends and family xx and since that day we can't stop talking about the special people we met in the Hilltop team. They made us feel completely at home from the first time we met Clare back in November 2023, as soon as we stepped into your cosy home we new this was the place for us. Since then we've had the pleasure of meeting so many members of the team; Cameron, who expertly whipped up our cocktails ( still dreaming about the Vanilla chat white Russian ) and made certain our guest were well watered; Emil who was the perfect MC, ensuring we couldn't stop dancing all the way through the night; Iain and Naomi prepared the most delicious food, all of our guests were raving about their meals and the poutine! Olivia for helping so much on the day, it was wonderful having you around to make sure everything was going to plan and giving some much needed words of calm and encouragement, you were and absolute delight! And finally Leah, from the moment we met you we were laughing and that definitely set the tone! Thank you for going to every effort to make our day exactly how we wanted it! I think we had 2 email chains going with 24 messages in each! The day before and the day of you were around to help and let us know where we needed to be! Ollie and I have said many times how you feel more like a friend to us and we wish we could plan another wedding just to speak to you! Thank you so much, we hope we can find many excuses to return to Hilltop in the future

Amazing! Thank you.

From the start of our venue search we couldn’t find a venue with everything we wanted but finally after finding Hilltop it ticked every box! The flow of the buildings for drinks reception, to wedding breakfast and then the boogie room makes the day run so smoothly, there’s no change around in rooms and guests just flow from one to the next. From the second we walked in Claire made me feel right at home and was so welcoming with tea and biscuits… the team really do seem like one big family!

Every corner of the venue is picturesque and perfectly thought out in every way! The pictures we got from our wedding day were stunning, and this was all down to the gorgeous backdrop of Hilltop!

Beth was amazing in helping make our dreams come true, she listened to each and every request and made it happen, she is fantastic in her role at hilltop and we truly appreciated all of her hard work!

Cam really knows his stuff, he was able to advise us on what wines would work well with the food we had chosen and was so honest when helping us pick!

Every guest commented on the gorgeous venue, the cherry blossom and wisteria in the stunning grounds! The music by Emil in the one of a kind boogie room which everyone had an amazing night dancing the night away too. Guests would not stop talking about the food, the soup was a real winner and has been the topic of several conversations since our wedding in April! The waiting on staff were all impeccable!

We could not have wished for a better day, our wedding was run so smoothly and personalised each step of the way. It really was the best day of our lives! If we could do it all again we would choose Hilltop in a heartbeat!

Thank you all so much, we will be forever grateful!

The best day

From the very first visit, we knew this venue was something special. The setting is absolutely magical — the perfect mix of elegance, warmth, and natural beauty. Every corner felt thoughtfully designed and full of charm, and it created the most stunning backdrop for our wedding day.

What truly sets this venue apart, though, are the people. Clare, the owner, is an absolute gem. Her passion for what she does shines through in every detail. She made us feel so cared for and supported throughout the entire process. Her calm presence and genuine warmth were exactly what we needed — we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help guide us through such a special time. Leah helped us plan every detail meticulously and was available for every request! Olivia worked so hard helping us set up every little detail and was by our side on the day for anything we needed.

And Cam, the bar manager. Not only did he create an incredible bar experience for our guests, but his energy and professionalism made the night even more fun. Plus he’s just a top guy. From custom cocktails to seamless service, he truly elevated the entire reception.

The day itself was flawless. The ceremony space was breathtaking, the reception area was everything we wanted and the staff made sure everything ran like clockwork. Our guests are still raving about the atmosphere, the drinks, the food — everything. We feel so lucky to have celebrated our day in such a beautiful place, surrounded by such incredible people.

Five stars isn’t enough. Thank you, Clare, Leah, Olivia, Cam and the team, for making our day absolutely perfect.

Mr and Mrs Hughes Wedding

To everyone at The Hilltop.
Where do we start? Thank you.
Honestly, Friday 28th March 2025 was the best day of our lives.
From planning to our wedding day, it’s been a dream to work with you all. We could not fault the venue, the staff, the food, the grounds - everything was perfect.
All our guests have complimented the wedding, and said it was one of the best weddings they’d been too, and it’s thanks to you all and the great team and atmosphere you have created.
We (including Miley), can’t wait to come back and stay with you.
Lots of love
The Hughes xx

A spectacularly spooky Halloween wedding

Claire and the team couldn’t do enough for our Halloween wedding. We had such a fabulous day with our friends and family. The food was standout - well worthy of the Michelin star - particularly the red pepper soup as a starter, steak pie as main followed by apple crumble with lashings of custard (bride’s request) for dessert were perfect. Our Halloween decor looked perfect with the Hilltop backdrop. Claire was always on hand to answer questions and Cameron the bar manager accommodated our drinks requests. A special mention to Joe the photographer- what a lovely man. He took the time to capture special family moments for us. We know we will keep in touch with Hilltop. Thank you x

Autumnal Dream

Couldn’t have wished for a better wedding! We fell in love with Hilltop the first moment we visited and the team looked after us from start to finish. The prep was stress-free and the communication was helpful to guide our decision making. The venue itself is breathtaking and the food and service was wonderful! All we could have dreamed of and more

Our Dream Wedding

We can't thank Clare and her team enough, they were kind, thoughtful, and determined to deliver our dream day. Our friends and family had a fantastic time and we have been inundated with compliments on the beauty of the venue, the delicious food, but perhaps most of all how kind, thoughtful and friendly all the staff were. Everything exceeded expectations and the whole day went off without a hitch. The space is perfect for a mixed group, with some of our friends exploring the gardens, others hitting the dance floor in the boogie room and we loved watching the kids play with the garden games outside the marquee during the wedding breakfast. Clare is exceptional and is a key reason our wedding day was so perfect and I'm sure she will look after any couple who book Hilltop Country House. She and her team look out for opportunities to make each wedding unique, from decoration, to a bespoke cocktail, to having a nook dedicated to our pictures. Our only regret is not being able to do it again.
