    The most beautiful venue with the most attentive staff!

    Lucy and Mudit did such a wonderful job for our wedding on 12 July 2025. We had an amazing day from start to finish thanks to their seamless organisation, kindness and being simply awesome. All of the staff were fantastic, too - our guests were blown away; as were we. Their attention to detail to make sure our vision came to life was truly outstanding. We genuinely couldn't have wished for a better day, and we cannot thank them enough!

    Disappointed

    We feel in love with the venue about a year and a half before we were due to be married. However the sparkle faded when we ended up going through 3 wedding co-ordinators (with around a 2 month period of one of the hotel staff having to step in with no experience of weddings at all), hopeless management and un-fulfilled aspects that were part of our contract. I lost faith in the whole place around 6 months prior but we weren’t going to get our money back so had to proceed.We got married in a room which turns out backed onto the hotel kitchens and could hear them shouting the whole ceremony; we paid for exclusive use of an area which wasn’t properly monitored so we had hotel guests walking through. They messed up our evening food and brought out my cake un cut, left a knife and apparently expected me to cut my own cake for the evening. We also agreed to a set amount for a drinks tab, and the staff allowed this to go over by several hundred pounds- apparently “they couldn’t find us” even though I was in a white dress and had several appointed family members who they knew they could talk to! The hotel has so much potential but needs serious work to make it magical for brides/grooms, I now always have a tinge of regret booking my day there which is not how someone should look back at their special day.

    Fantastic wedding reception venue

    We had our wedding reception at the end of January with 25 guests and had the most amazing day ! Cat Johnson was our wedding planner and we cannot thank her enough for all her hard work organising our day - she is a star !

    Beautiful venue, great food, lovely grounds, really good value for money as well and we highly recommend the MacDonald hotel !

    A great venue for a quality wedding reception

    We recently used this venue for our wedding reception. The grounds were stunning and provided a sacred space in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city centre, despite the hotel being close enough to the station that access is incredibly easy. There was a perfect amount of space for the numbers we had, 80 seated and 130 in the evening. It felt full but not crowded. As for the honeymoon suite, its the kind of room you see in movies or royal households. Absolutely stunning and a great treat to be thrown in with the package. The food was excellent and many commented on it in particular. The staff were professional, helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. What impressed me the most, a guest caused some accidental damage to a furniture and they wrote it off at their own expense, when they could have charged us. Thanks Cat for a great experience. I'm so glad this hotel decided to start a renewed focus on wedding events recently, its a great find.

    Wedding night stay. Perfect hotel and staff!

    We stayed at this hotel on the night of our wedding. From start to finish the hotel was perfect.The reception and concierge team were always on hand and more than happy to help. The room was fantastic with breathtaking views over the grounds when we woke up. We used the outdoor pool and then went to breakfast. Even though it was a busy Saturday morning the service and food was exceptional. We were wonderfully looked after by the hotel manager federico as we were by all of his staff. We can't wait to visit this hotel again when we have more time to enjoy all its wonderful facilities and it's great location in the centre of bath. Thank you to everybody at the hotel.
