March 2025We held our civil wedding here last weekend! I wanted an intimate, relaxed yet beautiful setting for close family to enjoy. It was beautiful, the grounds were stunning and the service was great. When discussing wedding arrangements I worked with Tiffany from the events department to get all the detailed correct, from the food, co-ordination and layout. She was very accommodating I I was very happy she was there on the day. Cannot recommend Woodland Manor enough... It was a hidden Gem 🌞

May 2025We have just held our annual event at Woodland Manor early in May 25 for probably the fourth time. The hotel and staff just seem to get better and better. We hired around 16 rooms, and 34 of us had an exclusive evening dinner in the main restaurant. Food was excellent, the staff were really polite and couldn’t do enough for us all, rooms were great and the service was first class. It’s a really sweet little hotel. Loads of character, and staffed by happy helpful people. Would not hesitate to recommend.

March 2025We held our Anniversary party at Woodlands for 86 guests for reception drinks and a sit down dinner and entertainment. Teri from Events was very professional and helpful and confirmed in writing at each stage what we had agreed. Lots of easy parking. Staff were very helpful on check in and many of us checked in early. Our room was clean and spacious. It had been recently refurbished. Good views over the gardens. The whole evening was run like clockwork with plenty of staff. Efficient friendly service. Food was very good. Good breakfast with lots of choice. Thanks Woodlands for a fantastic weekend. Would definitely recommend for an event.

May 2025We held a family party at Woodlands Manor with family travelling from all over the UK, so the central location was ideal, especially as many of the family were able to stay overnight. Tiffany was very helpful throughout the planning process and we were able to arrange the evening buffet so that the Woodlands Manor provided the main course and our traditional family puddings and cakes formed the desert. Tables were also provided for family photos and family trees. My family also provided a string quartet and a band which the Manor accommodated with no trouble at all. The staff were all lovely and so helpful. We were very happy with the whole day, including the weather, which meant that we were able to spread into the enclosed gardens and it could be a lovely, relaxed, informal family occasion which everyone, young and old, thoroughly enjoyed. The only feedback I have was that the pickles and tomatoes ran out before everyone was served, although more was found in due course and the tea and coffee after the meal was a little late in arriving. However, overall, I would definitely recommend Woodlands Manor and would be very happy to come back for future similar events.

May 2025Four stars only because the bar is rather clinical and unwelcoming and lunch service also a bit cafe-like. Without these two provisos it would easily be 5 stars. However, do not let this put you off staying at this lovely hotel. It is spotless. The food is good - especially breakfast. The staff very friendly and you get a PROPER key!
