My Dream fairytale wedding!!!

Our wedding day was at the AMAZING Three Horseshoes Country Inn & Spa on Saturday 12th October 24.

I was cinderella for the day and married my prince! From the moment we woke until we went bed it was a magical day... We initially booked our wedding in January 23 when we first visited the venue we knew it was the one. Everything about it just felt perfect. Before we got married we would often visit the venue for some food or a cheeky spa overnight stay. This venue has everything to offer and is very affordable price too. We had our final meeting with Lisa and she explained everything that would happen on the day and made us free at ease before the big day.

The staff are all absolutely amazing and always went above and beyond for us . We are forever grateful for making our day so special and for all the memories that we will treasure forever. So a massive thank you to all the entire team at Three horseshoes!!!! We can't wait to see you soon ❤️❤️. Special mention to McCaila, Kirsty & Chelsea who looked after us all day. You are an absolute credit to the three horseshoes and amazing at what you do!!! You made me relax and enjoy every single second of my wedding.. The whole day was perfectly organised and I didn't worry about anything.

Overall we were so overwhelmed with how perfect the day went.

The three horseshoes gets a massive recommend from us for anyone to get married here!!!!!!

Thank you from the new Mr & Mrs Adams ❤️

Amazing Venue

We had our wedding at The Three Horseshoes on the 18th October and from start to finish everything was perfect. From booking and having meetings with the venue to the actual day was just fantastic service! Lisa who we had our final meeting with just put our minds at rest and explained what would happen on the day in full detail and listened to everything we wanted. McCaila who was our wedding coordinator on the day was absolutely fantastic! I was so nervous and she instantly put my mind at rest and made sure everything run exactly how it should! She even threw my veil in the air for pictures and got so involved it was amazing! All the staff involved on the day were brilliant! The food was amazing and they even catered for my little girl who is dairy and soya intolerant, nothing was too much trouble! We 100% recommend The Three Horseshoes and it was the best decision we made to get married at this beautiful venue!! Thank you to everyone at the horseshoes who made our day so magical!

Our amazing day

From start to finish this venue and all its staff were absolutely perfect. All the details are there. From when we first went to look around before booking, right up to our big day itself this place doesn’t miss a beat. The staff are so professional and so clued up on how you want your day to run, you literally have to worry about nothing. They are very happy to cater for whatever kind of wedding you want. I mean we even had some alpacas outside just for fun! The weather on our wedding day was shocking but even still with the large canopy outside people could still enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating areas and the rain would be the only thing we would change about our day. My wife and I often say we just want to do it all over again and not change a thing and so much credit has to go to the team at the three horseshoes for that because they did an amazing job even bringing the food service forward because the weather looked like improving and they wanted us to get some nice pictures. Would recommend them over and over

A great venue with fab packages

We recently marries at the Three Horseshoes. We took advantage of their mid week package which meant that we could have the luxury of their incredible venue and services with a reasonable cost. The lead up to the wedding was stress free with the venue being very responsive. The day went perfectly, the staff were communicative and couldn't have been more helpful. One very happy Bride & Groom who would highly recommend!

Summer Wedding

The Three Horseshoes have been the most amazing venue and team. They have been so helpful and responsive from the start and couldn’t do enough to help our day run smoothly.

The venue is beautiful, the food exceptional. Can’t recommend enough. On the day the team made sure we were relaxed and had everything we needed.

We had lots of young families at our wedding so the climbing frame was a hit!

Wedding Louise & Jason Green

We had the best day and everything was brilliant from start to finish. The staff dealt with every request and were very helpful and friendly. We would recommend anyone wanting a well organised day to book their wedding at the three horse shoes…
The venue is perfect and the gardens with the spectacular backdrop of the roaches is beautiful for photos. We stayed for an extra night to make use of the spa to relax and enjoy a discounted minimoon which was the best decision after a busy day. Thank you for making it such a memorable day.

Perfect from start to finish

Our wedding day at the three horseshoes was everything we could have dreamed of and MORE! I couldn’t possibly put into words how amazing it was but I will mention a few of the stand out points for us! The wonderful staff made everything stress free and were on hand to help at all times - special mentions to Lisa and Molly who looked after us on the day. We had so many compliments from guests on the food, it truly was delicious from the wedding breakfast to the buffet! The DJ in the evening was fabulous and had everybody up on the dance floor. The views and gardens for the photographs were beautiful. Truly and utterly amazing - would recommend to everybody.

Our wedding was just perfect!

Thank you all so much for making our wedding day just perfect!

From arriving the night before with our family and friends, we were made to feel so welcome and it just relaxed us all straight away!
Even while we were having our evening meal, our lovely waiter introduced himself and said he would be looking after us on our wedding day.

On the day itself, we didn’t feel rushed and we were able to relax and get ready in the gorgeous preparation suite.

The ceremony was perfect, with guidance from Lisa before and throughout, nothing was too much too trouble and we got married with all our favourite people around us.

Even a thunderstorm didn’t stop us from enjoying our drinks reception outside, as the canopy was quickly opened to save our guests (and us) from becoming drowned rats!

The wedding breakfast was perfect, everything came out hot and so delicious, I think you’ll be getting a lot of new customers!

The reception was perfect too, the big roast went down a treat as did all of the other food. The space in the room was ideal for those who wanted to dance and those who wanted to sit and talk.

We wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else and it means the world to us that we could get married and feel like part of the Three Horseshoes family! We can’t wait to come back and visit as Mr and Mrs Hadfield!

Thank you all again so much, it was such an amazing day x

11th May 2024

The night before in my room and I had a knock at the door saying the fir alarm was going off in my room. But I heard nothing and she said it could have been me having a shower even though I had a shower 1 hour before. I noticed I had a phone in the room with reception could have rand instead I had to answer the door in a towel which i wasnt happy about. The morning of the wedding in the preparation room there was a dirty nappy on the roof which myself and the bridal party noticed. I was disgusting and disappointed in this as the room should have been checked and cleaned before hand.
The staff that were looking after us on the day were absolutely lovely and attentive to our needs. Every guest complimented on how lovely the food was and it was delicious. Myself and the groom made sure we sampled everything

Wedding day

From the moment we booked our wedding, to the minute we checked out, all staff were amazing ! Staff replied to emails promptly and were always available to answer any questions leading up to our wedding day.
On the day of the wedding, all staff involved went above and beyond with a special mention to ‘Kirsty’ who was amazing!
She kept us informed about everything.
All of our guests commented on how fab the staff were too.
The location of the venue is a huge plus too, with such beautiful backdrops of the roaches, beautiful gardens and a play area for the children.
All in all the perfect wedding venue, if I could do it again I’d definitely return.
Thanks again to your amazing team of staff

Mr&Mrs Fereday

We absolutely loved our day from start to finish.
All the staff were amazing and were there to help with anything we wanted or needed.
The food was amazing!
Lisa was taking care of us all day and the day ran so smoothly, we knew what was happening at all times.

All of our guests still say how amazing the day was and how it was one of the best weddings that they attended.

We have made a promise to ourselves that on our anniversary every year we will revisit and spend the night as the rooms were beautiful and the breakfast was amazing too.

Would definitely recommend to anyone💗

Again thank you for everything
