Beautiful venue
Carolyn and her team made our wedding day feel magical. The food was incredible and the staff were so organised. The day ran like clockwork and we've had so many friends and family telling us how lovely the day was. From the beginning, Carolyn answered all of our many questions, nothing was too much. She helped us throughout the whole process and made us feel so relaxed. You won't find this attention to detail anywhere else
The Dower House Hotel's reply:
Thanks so much Olivia & Tom - that's a lovely review. I'm so glad to hear that you had a wonderful day and that your friends and family enjoyed it too! It was a pleasure helping to plan your wedding 😍. Hopefully see you both again soon.

Professional, personable, perfect
The team at the Dower House could not have been more helpful, from the first meeting with Carolyn (their wedding planner) to discuss initial dates, through to the eventual wedding some 18 months later. We felt engaged with and in control every step of the way. Communication, mainly by email, was always efficient and engaging and nothing was ever too much trouble.
On the wedding day itself, all the staff went above and beyond, taking the time to introduce themselves to us personally and making sure we wanted for nothing.
The weather on the day was glorious (10th June) and we were able to get married outside under the folly - the most idyllic and romantic location. We loved the fact that we were exclusive, unlike some of the bigger hotels that perhaps run at least one other wedding on the same day.
The food was beautiful and plentiful and all of our guests commented on the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the staff from the minute they arrived to the minute they went to bed.
The following morning, all our gifts and things like left over cake, had been carefully packaged up by the staff and made us packing up much simpler than it otherwise might have been.
We have been to other weddings at larger venues, where you simply do not get this level of service or personal touch that you do at the Dower House. Just perfect.
The Dower House Hotel's reply:
Thanks Lee & Jacky - that's a lovely review! I'm so glad to hear that you had a perfect day, and that the process from start to the special day was smooth and efficient! Our team are truly wonderful and really do make our couple's days as perfect as they can! Thank you and see you both soon!

Outstanding venue, staff and service
We had the most incredible experience at the Dower House Hotel and the perfect wedding day.
All of the staff genuinely cared about us and our guests and enjoyed the day alongside us, singing along with the band and chatting with guests.
I would highly recommend the venue - they were able to cater for our unique requests.
Communication was excellent and the planning was spot on all the way through.
The planner was calm, professional but also genuine and nothing was too much trouble
The Dower House Hotel's reply:
Thanks so much for this lovely review Beth & Darren. We're so glad that you (and your guests) had an amazing day! It was such a pleasure hosting you all. Hope to see you both again soon.

Perfect in Every Way!
We recently got married at The Dower and honestly could not have chosen a more perfect place to hold our special day. From the moment we went to view the hotel back in 2021 Carolyn has been really amazing, always on hand to help and answer any questions we had along the way and running around behind the scenes on the day making sure everything was as it should be! (which of course it was!) The hotel itself is stunning and the grounds are absolutely beautiful, the setting is just lovely and so peaceful. On our wedding day all the staff were so helpful and lovely and could not do enough for us or any of our guests and we got so many compliments from our guests about their rooms and how delicious the food was and the service throughout the whole of their stay. I really couldnt recommend it highly enough to be honest!! x
The Dower House Hotel's reply:
Thanks so much Lou & Col! It was an honour hosting your day with your family & friends! Loved your dress too! 🥰 Hope to see you both again soon!

Our magical wedding
We celebrated our wedding at the Dower House in May 2023 and from our very first visit we were made to feel welcome and could absolutely vision getting married at the hotel. Such a wonderful hidden gem - caters perfectly for smaller weddings!
Carolyn was so lovely and really helped the process and was always happy to help and offer support and reminders in the run up to the wedding - especially as we planned it within 9 months.
We really got to know a lot of the staff over the planning and can’t thank Carolyn, Max or the rest of the team enough. Always had such a lovely professional experience with the food and wine tasting and every visit we have made.
It was a perfect day and everything felt so magical from start to finish. The food was fantastic, the gardens and venue looked beautiful and we have memories to last a lifetime. Already looking forward to coming back! 🤍

Thanks so much, Grace & Jake - that is so wonderful to hear. It was a real pleasure hosting your day - we loved it! Hope to see you again soon!

Amazing venue and staff
I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved with the planning and execution of our wedding on the 29th of April. It was everything we could have hoped for. A special thank you to Carolyn who has been absolutely amazing from day 1, Ethan who is an asset to the Dower house for putting up with our drunken guests (bridesmaids). Professional, friendly and approachable everything you need from a place hosting your big day.
The Dower House Hotel's reply:
Aww thanks so much Amy & Darren. It was a pleasure hosting your wedding; so pleased that you had an amazing day. You looked beautiful, can't wait to see some photos. Hopefully see you two and the little one again soon!

Absolutely incredible venue. It's absolutely stunning inside and out. The food is gorgeous aswell. The staff all went above and beyond to accommodate anything we wanted for our day, even get extra bits in to suit us. Nothing was too much trouble. Our day went smoothly with no issues at all. There recommendations of hair dresser and make up artist were also brilliant. So thankfully we chose the dower house. We are planning on coming to stay for our anniversary.
The Dower House Hotel's reply:
Aww Louise and Daniel - we're so happy to hear that! It was such a pleasure hosting you and your families! We're glad you chose the Dower too! See you in 11 months!
