Thicket Priory Reviews (38) Write a review A Very Special Place Venue Service By Dave Harvey, on 05 Feb 2020Date of Wedding - 21 Dec 2019 We fell in love with Thicket Priory, it is an absolutely stunningly gorgeous venue and the team who run the events are fantastic. Thank you Anna and Rebecca, you were always on hand to help everything run so smoothly to make sure we had the best day that we possibly could. It was so special getting married in the private chapel and having the dinner and rooms all under the same roof, it all worked perfectly for us. We have had so many compliments from our family and friends about the delicious food and the wonderful pantries! It was better than we could have imagined it would be!Fab-u-lous, absolutely loved it Venue Service By Kevin Krickwell, on 16 Aug 2019Date of Wedding - 03 Aug 2019 From our first sight of Thicket Priory, we knew it was the perfect venue for a wedding. Everything from the decor, location, beautiful gardens, bedrooms to die for, fabulous food made the day so special. It was so much better than staying in a hotel, it was a private house party! I felt so privileged to be there and to be able to stay overnight was the icing on the cake. So much better than anything we expected and better than any wedding we have ever been to. Anna and the team made us feel relaxed all the way and we can't thank all of the staff enough for their friendly and professional approach to the whole day. I actually cannot put into words how much of a perfect day and night we had and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Thicket to anyone looking to tie the knot, such a perfect beautiful house. Memories that will be treasured forever. Thank you so much.Anna Winkworth, General Manager at Thicket Priory responded to this review on 20/08/2019 18:27:59Thank you for your kind review Kevin.

This country home has been beautifully restored to its original grandeur. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed with various views of the gardens, apple grove and lake.

I’m still remembering my first step into Thicket Priory. What an amazing location. You really feel like you’re walking into a Downtan Abbey country home. Everything is in keeping with the country home estate feel from the beautifully decorated rooms to the never ending outdoor space. The lake is an added bonus. You could tell that a lot of time was spent on making this event a magical one. The guests arrived and were given keys to their suites. The rooms were beautifully decorated and every window was a revelation of the beautiful orchards and grounds outside. The bathrooms were spacious and well appointed. The event began with cocktails and appetisers in the bar. Everyone showed up smartly dressed and ready for an epic evening. When we moved to the dining room, the decor was stunning. Chrystal chandeliers, beautiful floral arrangements and wonderful smells emanating from the kitchen. The food was top notch, and even the special dietary options looked delicious.
