    Best day of our lives!

    Everything about our special day was PERFECT! The meetings before were informative and put our minds at ease every time. No request was too much and staff went above and beyond to make our dreams a reality.

    The Garden room is a beautiful venue with the orangery a perfect bar area to socialise. The woodland and surrounding areas made great backgrounds for photographs, and having everything so close together made for a seamless day for us and our guests.

    The food is to DIE for! Portion size plentiful and quality is exceptional. Our friends and family are still raving about the unbelievable food.

    Our day would not have been possible without the friendliest and most welcoming staff at the woodman, who brought together all of our ideas with enthusiasm and excitement. Jordan and team did such an amazing job and we cant thank them enough!

    One of a kind

    The Woodman was the first venue we viewed and it is absolutely stunning, we viewed a couple afterward but nothing compared to what we saw and experienced at the Woodman.
    Throughout the whole wedding planning Kieran, Jordan and the team couldn’t help us enough from the stereo typical bridal panics to helping us organise so much of our day.

    On our wedding day yet again Keiran and the team were there every step making sure everything was perfect and calming me and Scott down when the nerves kicked in!

    All in all we could not recommend The Woodman enough to anyone planning a wedding no matter how big or small they want it to be they have everything you could think of.

    Thankyou so much to all of the team that were involved a special day, you truly did make it wonderful.

    The Woodman Inn's reply:

    Knowing that The Woodman Inn was the first and most memorable venue you viewed fills our hearts with immense pride and joy.

    It was truly our pleasure to be a part of your wedding journey – from the initial planning stages to the final, magical moments of your special day. xxx

    Perfection: A Masterclass in True Hospitality

    Kieran and the team at The Woodman Inn ensured that our wedding day was, indeed, the perfection people talk about. People want the personal touch and the no-worries day, and the food to be amazing, and no one to be bored, and everyone to be happy. They do it all, and more.
    Two years ago, we were shown around by Jordan and knew it was the one. A brightly lit pub opens up into a warren of superbly decorated rooms - a canvas for a relaxed, cosy wedding.
    However, it cannot be expressed more strongly how, without the staff, the building would be soulless. It is them that make it harmonious. Despite our needs and requests, we didn't meet a disgruntled face, not a complaint, not a cutting line - they know that the team they have and the resources they have created are at the forefront of hospitality in 2023: a difficult accomplishment in the currently climate.
    The food - the best our guests had ever had at a wedding. The service - the best our guests had ever had at a wedding (and believe us, they told us!). The lack of judgement and complete professionalism - noticeable and humbling. We came as clients and left as friends.
    Kieran - the Weddings Manager - you were the antidote to our stress and nerves. Ben - you received a million compliments about your candour and work ethic. Jordan - you lead a team of wonderful people who must get up every morning and be proud to be part of a forward thinking, hospitable team with a true desire to pursue the best.
    And if you want the best, book The Woodman for your wedding. Thank you all.

    The Woodman Inn's reply:

    Thank you - Your words about our staff touch us deeply. They are the heart and soul of our venue, and their dedication to creating harmonious and memorable experiences is what sets us apart. We're incredibly proud of our team and the exceptional hospitality they provide. xx

    The best in the business 🤍

    Where do I even start with how fantastic this place is? I visited the Woodman Inn at the back end of last year when searching for a wedding venue. We were looking for somewhere that looked the part, of course, but the main thing was that we wanted a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

    I met Kieran at the first meeting (who is absolutely wonderful, might I add) and I just LOVED the place. We decided to go back a few days later for the wedding open day, and after seeing it all set up, we booked there and then. We went for dinner and an overnight stay a few months before our wedding for my partners birthday, and it was so lovely. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was divine.

    The run up to the wedding.. I could not have asked for more, honestly. Kieran, Jordan and Ben were absolute saviours. So helpful, offered advice, checked in with us regularly, always available to speak to one of them. And then came the day..

    IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! The chef worked with us to create a Mediterranean style dinner, it was amazing! And the sticky toffee pudding is, hands down, the best on the planet. We danced and drank the night away with our loved ones and it was everything we wished for. My new husband said the breakfast was also amazing, I unfortunately can't comment on this due to the massive hangover that prevented me from eating it 🤣, but it looked delicious.

    I honestly believe the team at this place are the best in the business, every single one of them.

    The Woodman Inn will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we can't wait to return.

    Thank you for everything.

    The best day!

    The first and only wedding venue we visited was the Woodman Inn. We knew as soon as we got there that it was THE ONE. The venue itself and the surroundings are beautiful and give off the relaxed vibe that we wanted for our special day.

    We got married on 22/09/23 in the garden room and the day couldn’t have been better! Our guests absolutely loved the venue and we received so many lovely comments about the staff and the food.

    From start to finish, the whole team were so lovely, especially Kieran, who was extremely helpful and accommodating! We chose to take a super relaxed approach to our wedding planning and Kieran made that possible.

    Thank you so much for making our day so special!

    Orica & Zach xx

    The Woodman Inn's reply:

    Once again, congratulations on your wedding, Orica & Zach! Thank you for choosing the Woodman Inn, and we wish you both a lifetime filled with love and happiness.

    Best venue ever

    The Woodman Inn couldn't have been more perfect. We wanted somewhere secluded, surrounded with nature and with a touch of modern with nothing religious. The venue ticked every box and when we went to see it in person, we fell in love with it and knew it was the one; every other venue we saw online just didn't compare anymore. As soon as we enquired, we was welcomed by Kieran and felt very looked after. It made the experience run so smoothly knowing there was a support network at the venue and no question was a silly question.

    The Woodman Inn is already a stunning venue, so we felt that doing minimal decorations would compliment it easily.

    The whole Woodman (Kieran Glanney more specifically) team were so helpful and amazing letting us have the day before to set up, they even set us up with a bluetooth speaker so we could just relax and have a really good time together. It really did create a core memory of the wedding.

    During the day everyone was on hand and made the day stress-free and extremely welcoming to every guest.

    The food was outstanding. Every single guest and our long list of allergies were accounted for. We are both coeliac and the chefs made sure that everything was or could be made gluten free that we asked for!

    We couldn't recommend the venue and hotel rooms enough!

    The Woodman Inn's reply:

    Your recommendation means the world to us, and we couldn't be happier that you had a fantastic experience at both the venue and our hotel rooms.

    Thank you for choosing the Woodman Inn for your special day. We wish you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and many more cherished moments. xxx

    Amazing and attentive team, in a beautiful venue.

    When people ask me if planning the wedding was stressful, I can straight away say no because everything to do with the event was completely covered by Kieren, Ben and Jordan from day 1. You really made planning our wedding easy with your laid back approach and flexibility. On the day Jordan and Ben couldn’t do enough for us, and really appreciate it. The venue is just beautiful and all the guests complimented the setting and garden areas, lucky for us the weather was great so a lot of our time was spent out there. Thank you to the wonderful team for making our day the amazing day it was. Rach and Dan x

    Thank you so much for your lovely words! We're thrilled to hear that your wedding planning experience with us was stress-free and easy from day one. xxx

    Perfect Wedding Day

    We got married on 02-09-23.
    From start to finish the staff at The Woodman Inn were truly incredible! We knew that our wedding day was going to be perfect, from the first meeting with Jordan, to our meetings with Kieran, nothing was ever too much and the staff were always attentive and felt like friends. Kieran and Ben ensured that the day ran smoothly, and we can never truly tell you how thankful we are.

    All our guests commented about how amazing the food was, and how perfect the day went. Having drinks in the gardens, soaking up the sun after weeks of rain, whilst James Hey played piano was just the perfect setting. We were lucky with the weather on the day, but no luck needed from the team at The Woodman Inn as we knew they would make it the best day ever for us.

    Looking forward to our next weekend lunch date already.

    Katherine & Michael xxx

    The perfect experience

    Our whole experience at the Woodman was incredible from start to finish. We knew this was the place for us the first time we visited… the staff were both welcoming and friendly, and we were wowed by how beautiful and intimate the venue was. The whole planning process was seamless and wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Kieran, who was so accommodating and always on hand to answer any questions. The day itself was perfect, we were married within the venue’s beautiful gardens and celebrated the rest of our day in the country room. The food was a particular highlight, with guests mentioning how much they enjoyed their meals and that it was the best wedding meal they had - we went for the salmon and can say it was the best salmon we’ve had. All in all, we couldn’t recommend this place enough. The venue, the food, the value for money and most of all the team, who made our wedding day the most incredible day of our lives!
