We had the most amazing wedding at The Dodford Inn, everything was perfect i had so many lovely comments from my guests about how lovely the food was and the staff where lovely especially Becky & Ben as soon as i arrived Ben was offering to help us with our bags up to the accommodation and Becky was offering us drinks while i was having my make up done nothing was to much trouble.
The venue looked beautiful and amazing views we are glad we choose the Dodford Inn its was the first placed we viewed and new it was the perfect place for us.

We really loved getting married at The Dodford Inn. Such a beautiful venue and setting, with a rustic, cosy and intimate feel, but with plenty of space for guests to relax and mingle.
We had Dee Acoustic play (who were at the Dodford Inn wedding fair) and there was a space for the band on the patio for them to play whilst guests relaxed.

Ben, Becky and the team were friendly, accommodating and made us feel well looked after on our wedding day. The running of the day flowed seamlessly from day to evening, thanks to the organised staff members and also the way the venue uses its different spaces for particular parts of the day. This worked really well to give a bit of variety throughout the day.
We liked the options of wedding day packages with meals, drinks and decorations included, which meant this was all set up for us on the day and took that worry away from us. Clare who organises the decorations provided beautiful floral displays that tied into our colour scheme. It was nice to be able to choose decorations to suit our style.

The food was delicious! And with myself, my husband and a few of our guests having a few differing dietary requirements, the kitchen couldn't have been more flexible with adapting our chosen set meals to suit our needs. We had many compliments on the food from guests too.

We really recommend this venue, it was so much more than we imagined with its lovely relaxed and uplifting atmosphere. Thank you Ben, Becky & team 😊

From the first visit we knew the Dodford is where we wanted to get married.
From start to finish Ben, Becky and the team went above and beyond in making our wedding day perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the communication was spot on.
The venue and grounds are beautiful and well looked after. Everyone commented on how good the food was and generous portions.
The accommodation is stunning and a perfect space for bride/groom parties to get ready.
The bridal suite is unreal!
I can’t recommend the Dodford enough, it’s a lovely venue, the team are incredible and made our day seamless.

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Dodford Inn, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. From the very first visit, we were blown away by the beauty of the venue — the rolling countryside views, the beautifully kept gardens, and the charming barn-style interior created the ideal setting for our special day.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to Ben, Becky, and the entire team for going above and beyond at every stage of the process. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel completely at ease from start to finish.

Ben and Becky were both incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the planning stages, offering helpful suggestions while always respecting our plans. On the day itself, they ensured everything ran seamlessly — we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. The service was flawless, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just what we had hoped for: relaxed, joyful, and full of love.

So many of our guests commented on what a stunning venue it was and how well looked-after they felt — a true testament to the team’s dedication and care.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty, exceptional service, and a personal touch, The Dodford Inn is it. Thank you again, Ben, Becky, and everyone who helped make our day so unforgettable — we will treasure it forever.

We had the most wonderful wedding at the The Dodford Inn, the venue, staff, food.. everything was really special. The packages really take a lot of stress off you having to organise the day and I knew the team would take care of everything. I wish I could do it all over again!

The first time we viewed the Dodford Inn, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The venue itself is set in beautiful countryside with lovely views. The venue has a country pub feel but has been renovated to a really high standard. Ben, Becky and the team were always so welcoming and on hand to answer any questions we had. Communication was always quick, informative and could not be faulted. We chose the Oak Package, meaning we had canapés, 3 course wedding breakfast + wine, reception & toast drinks, venue decorations and resident DJ included. It was great to have so much included in the price and made wedding planning really easy. Although this was a set package, we were still able to customise aspects and have exactly what we wanted. The resident DJ - Lee Dyson - was also amazing, as was the venue decoration supplier - Clare's Weddings.
I stayed at the venue the night before with my bridal party and then the night of the wedding with my husband, and the bedrooms were absolutely gorgeous. It was great to be able to get ready at the venue on the wedding morning. There was plenty of space to get ready in, including space for hair and makeup artists.
On the day, all the staff worked so hard and everything went incredibly smoothly. They would always check in with us to make sure we were okay, had enough food, drink etc. The food was delicious and we had compliments from guests all evening. Guests also loved the barman - he was fantastic and made cocktails from scratch all day long.
The Dodford Inn do not do back to back weddings which makes the experience feel a lot more personal. Ben & Becky always knew what was going on/what we had asked for, and it always felt like a very personalised experience. We had the best day of our lives, and The Dodford Inn will always be a very special place to us.

We got married at the Dodford Inn on Saturday 17th May 2025. We genuinely can’t find the words to describe how incredible this venue is and how amazing our special day was.

Choosing a venue is so hard, there are so many options but we had a good idea in our heads. When we walked in to the Dodford Inn, we knew immediately in our hearts that this was the perfect venue for us with a rustic feel! We met Becky and she was so lovely and explained all of the options to us. When she said they had a Saturday in May, Claire’s face lit up and the plans began.

The way in which their packages work makes life so much easier, so much was included, from reception drinks, canapés and wedding breakfast, decoration, evening food and even a great DJ. This really took the pressure off our planning and we had so much more time to work on the other smaller details.

We then met Ben, he sent us details for the portal and again this made life so much easier as we could just upload the details and send it over. Both Becky and Ben are so thoughtful, they helped come up with ideas and were really flexible with dining options and Ben even got us some Donkey wine where the proceeds go to the donkey sanctuary. We don’t believe we could have ever got this service anywhere else.

The day itself was perfect, the team were so attentive and we felt they were on hand at all times to help us out. The bridal prep room was so handy and was a lovely space to get ready. The room was set up exactly as we asked and the way they move the room round for the wedding breakfast and evening is seamless! To top this off, the bridal suite was incredible, like a luxury hotel!!

The food was out of this world, all guests commented how great it was, high quality and perfect portion sizes.

The venue just has everything, not too big that guests are on top of each other, but intimate to allow that romantic feel. The outdoor space is wonderful, a lovey patio and grounds that are perfect for outdoor shots.

We could not have dreamt of a venue that was so perfect and Becky, Ben and the team made our day magical from start to finish.

The best thing is, they are a restaurant on the weekends when weddings are not taking place so we can go back time and time again to experience their amazing venue and food!

You made our dreams come true and will never forget you.

Rich and Claire

We got married at The Dodford Inn at the end of March and it was the most perfect day! Ben, Becky and the team at the Dodford are the most amazing group of people you will ever meet. They made our day everything we could have ever imagined and more. Nothing was ever too much for any of the team they really do go above and beyond and make you feel so welcome and go out their way to make sure everything is perfect. Thank you to all the team for making our day everything we could have wished for and for making us feel so welcome and treating us so well we would recommend The Dodford Inn for everyone to get married. No words can say how grateful we are to especially Ben and Becky but all of the team 💗💗💗

From start to finish we had an amazing experience with Ben and Beckie. Nothing was too much trouble. They helped us to create the day we wanted in the way we wanted. Guests said it was the nicest. Emir they had been to and the best food they had eaten. Everyone was so relaxed and had such an amazing day. Many said the best wedding they had been to because of the venue and what they did for us. The accommodation is also pretty special. I would highly recommend the Dodford inn to anyone who wants a personal day designed around you. A day we will never forget Thank you xx

We had our wedding at the Dodford Inn this month and wow the day was perfect! Ben and the team were great, they made everyone feel so welcomed and gave our day such a friendly vibe. They went above and beyond with everything we asked and we never felt anything was too big of an ask. The venue was beautifully styled and the warm fairy lights gave such a cosy atmosphere. We had so many compliments for this hidden gem and couldn’t recommend this venue enough.

Dodford Inn hosted our wedding in October and from beginning to end we had a fantastic experience. They were so accomodating of odd requests and incredibly flexible.
Our guests had the time of their lives due to the excellent food and well priced drinks. The organisation of the day went without a hitch and the coordinators were on hand should we need anything. He even noticed that my new husband and I hadn't eaten, fixed us two plates and suggested we take it to our room to have 15 mins together.
All the staff were incredible on the day and we are so grateful.
And a huge plus are the utterly gorgeous bridal suite and guest rooms!
I'm just disappointed we don't get to do it all over again. Thank you so much to Ben, Becca and the whole team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect

Perfect venue for a stress free wedding with amazing food. The day couldn’t have ran smoother and no request was too big or small.

We had an exceptional experience at The Dodford Inn, the venue exceeded all our expectations, from the beautiful decor to the impeccable service. The venue allowed us to fully personalise our day and supported us in doing so to make it incredible. Our guests were very impressed with the venue and the entire day went smoothly thanks to the professionalism of the staff. It truly made our day even more perfect.

We had our wedding in August of 2024 and The Dodford Inn was a wonderful wedding venue. They gave us very fair pricing based on quoted received before the updated plans and were happy to accommodate any requests.

The food was lovely and they went out of their way to cater to specific dietary requirements and even put together our self assembled wedding cake (it looked so good)!

I felt very taken care of as a bride and was regularly asked if I needed a drink or wanted food put aside. It was a rainy morning but luckily it stopped for my entrance through the doors and I was helped with my dress to enable the bridesmaids to make their entrances.

The new accommodation is also lovely and there is lots of space for the Bridal party to get ready ❤️

We only have wonderful things to say about The Dodford Inn, from the first meeting with Ben we felt so welcome. The Dodford Inn was the first wedding venue we looked at and we instantly loved it, we booked our date and from then nothing was too much trouble. Communication was great, our wishes were listened too and we felt that we were able to have the relaxed wedding we both wanted. Our wedding day was exactly what we had hoped for and more, the venue looked beautiful and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Ben and Becky and the whole team were fantastic, we felt like nothing was too much to ask, the day ran smoothly and the hard work that was put into getting the accommodation finished so that it was ready was really appreciated. The food throughout the day was delicious, so many of our guests commented on the quality of the food. Everything was perfect, we highly recommend The Dodford Inn, it’s a treat to find a family run business and we couldn’t have asked for more.
