Great Venue!!
24/07 - A very organised and well-planned process from start to finish. We both felt informed throughout the planning stage and had quick responses to any query. The day went absolutely perfect. The setting was absolutely perfect and the food was 10/10 and complimented by so many guests! Would recommend to anyone! We would not change a thing. -

Beautiful Venue with an Amazing Team
We had our wedding at Manor by the Lake in July 2026, and we're so glad we chose it. From our very first visit, it ticked all the boxes we were looking for. The house is beautiful, the gardens are stunning and made the perfect backdrop for our photos, and all of the rooms are full of character.
A huge thank you to Claire, our wedding planner, who was invaluable from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, she was always happy to answer our questions, explain what the venue could provide, and help organise and book suppliers. She was always at the end of a WhatsApp message, which made everything feel so much easier.
In the lead-up to our wedding, one of us became unwell and was unfortunately still ill on the morning of the wedding. Claire and the team did everything they could to make the day as easy as possible. Claire was so reassuring throughout the day, making sure everything stayed on track and allowing us to just enjoy the day without worrying.
Every member of staff was kind, attentive and accommodating throughout the day. They made sure the unwell one of us always had a lovely non-alcoholic drink to enjoy and even made last-minute changes to her meal without any fuss. It was these thoughtful little touches that really stood out and showed how much they genuinely cared.
We also really appreciated how quickly everything was sorted after the wedding, including the prompt refund of the unused balance from our drinks tab.
Thank you to Claire and the whole team for everything you did to make our wedding day so special. We had an amazing day, felt so well looked after throughout, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Manor by the Lake to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue.
Manor by the Lake's reply:

It means so much to hear that Manor by the Lake was everything you were looking for and that you loved our house, gardens, and characterful spaces. We are especially delighted that Claire was able to support you throughout your planning journey and help make everything feel as seamless and stress-free as possible.
We are sorry that you were unwell leading up to and on the morning of your wedding, but we are so pleased that Claire and the team were able to make the day a little easier and allow you both to focus on enjoying such a special occasion together. The thoughtful touches you mentioned, from accommodating last-minute meal changes to ensuring there was always a refreshing non-alcoholic drink available, are exactly the kind of care we strive to provide for every couple.
Thank you once again for your kind words and recommendation. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding day, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. We hope to welcome you back to Manor by the Lake again in the future.
Best wishes, Tina and the weddings team -

A Beautiful Day!
We had a beautiful wedding day at Manor by the Lake! The grounds were gorgeous and we loved being able to utilize the full space. It created a great flow to our day that guests really appreciated. There are so many add ons you can coordinate directly with MBTL that made planning so much easier-- an in house DJ, ice cream and cocktail carts, fire pits, a photo booth, table linens and candelabras-- the list goes on and on! The food was also incredible. Overall, we had a great experience.-

Don't be fooled
Looked to book our wedding here, we're having a hybrid English/Hindu wedding.
The venue is stunning but don't be fooled, especially if you're planning an Asian wedding.
They have no idea what is what with the celebrations/traditions, the ballroom is not big enough with a dancefloor, no matter how much they try to reassure you that it is (they have an answer for everything).
They ONLY offer 2 Indian style caterers, which after speaking to other wedding planners and venues, are not a great choice compared to what else there is in the market.
They hassle you to book but then go radio silent and then even though they tell you they will give you more grace with your deposit because of your reservations about the size, they'll refuse to refund you. -

Our wedding at Manor By The Lake!
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue than Manor by the Lake. From the very beginning, the team were incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions promptly and making the whole planning process feel stress-free and enjoyable.
On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly thanks to their professionalism, organisation and attention to detail. The staff genuinely cared about us and our guests, ensuring we were looked after every step of the way. They brought our vision to life perfectly and made the day even more special than we had imagined.
We truly couldn’t fault a thing. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with an exceptional team behind it, we would wholeheartedly recommend Manor by the Lake. -

Exceptional venue
Absolutely stunning venue in a beautiful tranquil setting yet close to town! You wouldn’t even know it was there unless you were looking. Service exceptional. All I would say is that the lodge on site is not ideal for a going night sleep before the wedding if there’s another wedding taking place the day before as the lodge is right next door to the ballroom and guests kept us awake until the early hours. The main bedrooms in the manor are very comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. Would highly recommend -
