The highlight of our stay would be the staff, every single member was friendly and helpful offering their assistance at every opportunity. Bar staff, wait staff, Zoe our wedding coordinator throughout the planning process, Sam our wedding coordinator for the day, the chefs and kitchen staff - food was outstanding, housekeeping keeping the rooms impeccable and a little ‘congratulations’ treat, the very warm and approachable team on reception… Honestly thank-you so much for making our stay so welcome and enjoyable. Even under the masks you could tell they were smiling and genuinely happy to be there. They all demonstrated the five key values that Handpicked hotels promote in their staff.
We highly recommend this exceptional venue for any occasion but especially a wedding! From the moment of meeting Zoe our wedding coordinator and seeing the grounds right until checking out the day after the wedding our experience has been incredible and so enjoyable. The food is outstanding, being able to give our guests options for their three courses at our wedding breakfast was so important us, late night bacon/sausage/chip butties also went down a treat!! The grounds, conservatory for our ceremony, pabulkion for the reception and general hotel/rooms are so beautiful. Being able to have our guests also stay with so much room availability was also important for us, we even made the most of it and lots stayed the night before too! The pavilion for the reception has stunning lighting and guests loved the surprise unveiling of the dance floor and being able to extend the party until 1am was another thing we loved, the slush puppy machine enabling alcoholic cocktails also was a hit!! Honestly could go on and on but every single thing about Audleys wood was perfect for us and our 100 guests, we can not recommend them and their staff enough. We will be back as often as we possibly can, our now home from home.
