Woodlands Castle Reviews (51) Write a review 29th Jan 11 Steve & Marilyn Venue Service By Steve & Marilyn Nicholas, on 17 Feb 2011A huge thank you to everyone at Woodlands Castle for making our wedding day so special. The venue, location, service,food and disco was 100 per cent. Everyone had a wonderful time and having the Premier Inn next door makes Woodlands Castle as idea location for a wedding. Once again thank you so much for all your hard work.Wedding & Reception Venue Service By Mr & Mrs Smith, on 06 Jan 2011We didn't think we'd find an exclusive use venue as beautiful as Woodlands when we had just 40 guests in the day. We wanted something really different and getting married on your rose trellised veranda just made it all the more special. The food and staff where fantastic. We hope to have a reason to see you all again soon.30th Birthday Venue Service By Gemma Halliwell, on 06 Jan 2011What a brilliantly fun day, croquet and bouncy castles on the lawn, yummy cream tea and helpful staff all helped make my 30th everything i'd hoped.
