Reviews for The Woodman Inn
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.
Just the loveliest place with the most wonderful people
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.
Perfect Venue
The venue itself is breathtaking – every corner was picture-perfect, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful and unique it was. But more than that, it was the way the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly that truly made the difference. No detail was overlooked, and their calm, friendly presence gave us so much peace of mind on the day.
Thank you for helping bring our dream wedding to life. We will forever cherish the memories made at The Woodman Inn, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our love in such a magical place.
With love and gratitude,
Vicky and James xx
Incredible from start to finish
Leading up to the day itself, the emails and the contact were not over powering, but always at the end of the email or phone if we needed support and if we had questions, which were answered in such a quick time.
In the lead up to the day, we had a couple of meetings which were relaxed and put us at ease, as we were stressed! The professionalism from everyone was incredible. Nadia, who was doing our wedding on the day, was so helpful and supportive and put both us at ease at the meetings and even on the day itself. It honestly felt like we had known her for so long. She ran the whole day so smoothly.
On the day itself, we could not have asked for anything else. Nadia and Toby ran the whole wedding so smoothly, from originally being set up outside, only for it to rain and moved everything from inside, which was already set up. This was done with such efficiency and our guests even commented on how quickly it was done. The food was outstanding. All of the guests commented on the food, from the canapés, main meal and the evening food. The food went down a treat. There was so much choice from the menus and the food tasting event was perfect to make sure we got the right food.
The whole day was perfect and that is down to the staff at The Woodman, as they were so professional and helpful. The venue was perfect, with it being so clean with amazing setting. Everything about the day was incredible. I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding. I just didn’t want the day to finish!
Massive thank you to Jordan, Nadia, Toby and the rest of the team working on our wedding day.
The best day of our lives!
On the big day, Jordan expertly ran the show, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. It was such a relief to know we were in such capable hands. We especially appreciated having dedicated getting-ready rooms for both myself and my partner, which was a fantastic convenience for our wedding party who had traveled from all over.
Our guests raved about how beautiful the location was and, importantly, how delicious the food tasted. Despite being a large wedding, The Woodman Inn team coordinated everyone and everything flawlessly. We honestly couldn't recommend The Woodman Inn highly enough as a wedding venue. They made our special day truly unforgettable!
The best wedding ever!!!
The staff at The Woodman Inn were exceptional. Our wedding coordinators Nadia & Jordan were incredibly supportive and attentive throughout the planning process, always available to answer questions and guide us with warmth and professionalism.
Amazing venue and team to host such a special day!
Nadia did an amazing job at understanding our vision of what our perfect day would look like. Answered any enquires we had - no matter what time of day it was! We had so many compliments from guest about staff, how they always had a smile on their face and were happy to help. Please let everyone in the team know how brilliant they were, especially serving endless amounts of Baby Guinness’
From booking the venue, to the big day itself, everything ran so smoothly. We have had such a lovely experience, it was everything and more that we could have ever wished for! The venue looked amazing and there were lots of compliments on how amazing the food was!
We truly had the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been the same without Nadia and the team, thankyou!
The best day of our lives!
A huge part of what made the day so special was the amazing team behind it, especially Jordan and Nadia. From our initial enquiry right through to the big day, they were both exceptional—professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we dreamed of. They guided us through the planning process with ease, answered every question we had, and were always on hand to offer advice and support.
On the day itself, everything ran extremely smoothly. The staff were attentive, the food was amazing. Jordan and Nadia made sure every little detail was perfect, and their calm, reassuring presence meant we could truly relax and enjoy every moment. So many of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how smoothly the whole day flowed.
Choosing The Woodman Inn was one of the best decisions we made. It gave us not just a stunning backdrop for our wedding, but a team of people who genuinely cared about making it unforgettable. We’re so grateful to Jordan, Nadia, and the whole team —we’ll cherish the memories forever.
