The most perfect day
We honestly couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than The Woodman Inn for our wedding. From start to finish, the entire experience was incredible, and it truly gave us the most special day of our lives.
A huge part of that was down to Nadia, our wedding coordinator, who is quite simply amazing. From the very beginning, she explained the entire process so clearly and made everything feel manageable and stress-free. No question was ever too small—she was always on hand to help, reassure us, and calm any nerves we had along the way. On the day itself, she was absolutely everywhere, quietly making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were taken care of. You could genuinely see how much she cared about us having the best possible day, and that meant the world to us.
The venue itself is just stunning. We had our wedding in the Garden Room, which was both spacious and beautifully presented—so many of our guests commented on how gorgeous it was. It created the perfect atmosphere for both the ceremony and the celebration. The evening reception was equally fantastic and flowed so seamlessly from the day.
The food deserves a special mention because it was exceptional. So many of our guests have said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, which says it all. It really elevated the whole experience and was something people are still talking about.
Another huge bonus is the accommodation. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, and being able to reserve them for our guests the night before and the night of the wedding made everything so convenient and relaxed. It really helped turn the whole occasion into a full experience rather than just a single day.
We also have to mention Jordan, who was just incredible. He was so friendly, warm, and genuinely caring, and he made us feel completely looked after—especially the morning after the wedding when he went above and beyond to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed.
Overall, we cannot recommend The Woodman Inn highly enough. The team went above and beyond in every possible way, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so perfect. Couldn't recommend The Woodman enough, thank you all!The Woodman Inn's reply:
Thank you so much for such an incredible and heartfelt review. It truly means the world to all of us to hear that your wedding day was everything you hoped for — and more.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your journey from start to finish, and I’m so pleased that everything felt seamless and stress-free for you. Nadia will be so touched by your kind words — she puts her heart into every wedding, and it’s wonderful to hear how much that meant to you on the day.
I’m delighted that you and your guests enjoyed the Garden Room, the food, and the overall atmosphere. Knowing that the food stood out so much and is still being talked about is a huge compliment to our kitchen team.
It’s also lovely to hear that the accommodation helped make the whole experience feel relaxed and extended beyond just the day itself — that’s exactly what we aim for.
On a personal note, thank you for your kind words about me as well — it was a genuine pleasure to look after you both, and I’m so glad we could be there for you throughout such a special time.
We’re all incredibly grateful that you chose The Woodman Inn to celebrate your wedding. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, and we very much hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Warm regards,
Jordan, General Manager, and the entire team -

The best start to married life
My husband and I (and the dog) cannot thank the management and event staff of The Woodman Inn enough for helping us create a wedding day that was everything we had wished for and more.
From our first meeting we felt like our vision of the day was possible and they helped with every stage of the planning. Everything was fully explained and laid out with no hidden extra costs. They were incredibly flexible and accommodated any changes along the way, even when last minute.
Both Jordan and Nadia were welcoming and friendly at every meeting and we felt like every last detail was taken care of. Nothing we asked for or suggested ever felt too much (even burying a sausage the night before!) and from start to finish was well planned, organised and completely stress free, leaving us to fully enjoy the best day of our lives.
The venue is truly beautiful and the grounds were the perfect backdrop for our outdoor ceremony thanks to the good weather. We had our wedding breakfast and reception in the garden room with drinks served in the gorgeous orangery. It really is the perfect space, even with our intimate number of guests it felt vibrant and full.
Most of our guests occupied the hotel with great reviews from everyone and the bridal party used the getting ready room with breakfast and prosecco provided for a fun and stress free build up. The food served during the day including canapes, wedding breakfast and reception was out of this world, and carefully catered for those with special dietary requirements.
We honestly cannot thank them enough for everything they did and for the memories that will last a lifetime! -

We honestly couldn’t recommend The Woodman Inn enough. From our spontaneous first visit, my many emails, planning meetings, 6am texts on our wedding morning, right the way through our perfect day Nadia, Jordan and the team couldn’t do enough for us. The venue and surroundings are simply stunning, the food was amazing, we are so glad we decided on a bbq on what felt like the hottest day of the year. The whole team throughout the day were fantastic. Everything ran smoothly and nothing was ever too much trouble for any of the staff. Nadia made me feel at ease and made our wedding morning as stress free as possible even when it started raining at 6am. If we could have our day again we wouldn’t change a thing. 💛-

Perfect Yorkshire Wedding Venue
The Woodman Inn is the perfect wedding venue. From the moment we went to view, we knew it was right for us. From the friendly and professional service, to the flexibility of the team (we had a vegetarian menu specially created and they’re dog friendly) to the gorgeous grounds for a personal and private outdoor ceremony. Nadia, Jordan and the team are incredible and went above and beyond to make us feel so special, and never judged us for any little question. To have them there on our day was the icing on the cake. I couldn’t recommend them enough! We can’t wait to come back on our anniversary to celebrate and eat more of the delicious food. Book them, you won’t regret it!The Woodman Inn's reply:

Perfect wedding experience at the woodman inn
We had our wedding at The Woodman Inn and it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From the moment we first visited, we felt completely at ease, and on the day itself everything exceeded our expectations in every possible way.
Nadia was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She was super attentive, always quick to respond, and made sure every detail was thought through so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On the wedding day itself she was calm, organised, and constantly one step ahead, which made such a difference and allowed us to just enjoy every moment.
The entire team were just perfect — friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Every member of staff made us and our guests feel so welcome, and the service throughout the day was seamless.
The venue itself is breathtaking. The character of the inn combined with the surrounding woodland creates such a unique and magical atmosphere. It felt intimate, romantic, and completely special, especially with the natural beauty of the setting around us. So many of our guests commented on how stunning it was.
Overall, we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we will always be so grateful to Nadia and the team for making our day so unforgettable.The Woodman Inn's reply:

Amazing Wedding
We had our wedding at The Woodman Inn, and it was nothing short of perfect. From start to finish, the whole day ran seamlessly, and we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful setting. The weather was amazing, which made the charming surroundings feel even more magical.
The food was absolutely outstanding — our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Every course was beautifully presented and full of flavour, adding something truly special to the day. That sticky toffee pudding was just perfection!!
The team at The Woodman Inn were exceptional, a special mention to Nadia, nothing was too much effort for her. They were all attentive, organised, and genuinely kind, they made sure everything flowed effortlessly so we could simply relax and enjoy every moment.
The team were especially kind and generous to our dog, giving him treats and making sure he was well looked after. The dog friendly rooms meant he was able to stay with us as well as our guests being able to bring their dogs also which meant they were able to stay for the whole wedding.
We’re so grateful to The Woodman Inn for giving us the most wonderful wedding day. It was everything we hoped for and more. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stunning venue with incredible service and unforgettable food.The Woodman Inn's reply:

Wonderful country wedding
Beautiful country setting. We wanted an intimate evening wedding with close family and friends and we didn’t want anything formal. The team at the woodman enabled us to plan our day, the way we wanted it. We chose to have street style food ( mini fish and chips and pork slider). Portions were generous, food delicious and hot. Well stocked bar. In house DJ Richard was great and played all the things we wanted. We were able to dress the room ourselves just as we had wanted. All in all a fabulous night. All our friends and family thought the venue and accommodation was lovely. Would highly recommend.The Woodman Inn's reply:
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Ruth. It was a pleasure to be part of your special day, and we're so pleased we could help create the relaxed, intimate wedding you had envisioned.
We're delighted you and your guests enjoyed the food, accommodation, and evening celebrations, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Richard and the rest of the team.
Thank you for choosing The Woodman Inn, and for your recommendation. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together and hope to welcome you back again soon! -
