We were so pleased with the amazing level of service-such attention to detail!! Our guests were impressed with the hotel, and some are planning another visit. With loveIt was the most perfect day Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Jackson, on 02 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Jul 2019 Hi Julia I just wanted to email to say a massive thank you for the most amazing day! You all worked so hard to make it so perfect! Thank you for holding the ceremony outside at such short notice too. Simon said you had to re set it all up! Thank you! You organised us all so well and really made me and the bridal party feel at ease. I would like to say a special mention to one of the men. I didn’t catch his name but he was the short (don’t say I said that) chap with the glasses. He was amazing! Nothing was too much hassle for him and I had so many comments from guests on how polite and hard working he was. So thank you to all of you! It was the most perfect day.

Best wishes, Mr & Mrs Snell..it was quite literally the best day of my life, Venue Service By Leah and Tim, on 02 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 10 May 2019 Hi Julia, Hope you had a good weekend after a few days of weddings! I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your help, from the run up to the wedding to the actual day. I can not describe how amazing the day was, it was quite literally the best day of my life, everything was perfect! We received so many compliments on the food and venue. I am so happy the sun stayed out because the guests had the chance to enjoy the beautiful grounds. We loved the Gamekeepers cottage and were so happy we had the chance to enjoy it, the Magnolia room was equally as beautiful. The staff throughout our whole stay were also incredible, no request was too big and they continuously delivered a high class service. Throughout the dinner and the evening the team did a great job of organising the guests, announcing the different steps and just generally making sure everyone was happy and having fun. The room looked magical, everything was set up beautifully. Again, I can't thank you and the whole team at The H&H enough, for ensuring we had a smooth and wonderful day. I wish I could do it all over again! Many thanks, Leah and TimTruly magical Venue Service By Louise and Hugh, on 18 Oct 2019Date of Wedding - 27 Apr 2019 To Julia and the Team, Thank you so much for all you did in the lead up and during our wedding day.
