- SShannon & Liam18/12/2025Was Everything We Wanted For Our Wedding Was Everything We Wanted For Our WeddingThere truly aren't enough words to describe how accommodating and attentive they were. From the staff ghe night before, to the morning of until we had to leave everyone was amazing. During our reception we had built up enough of a friendship we had staff with us on the dance floor and everyone partook in a massive conga line! Our wedding coordinator Joanne especially deserves a mention she was on it from items that we had forgotten to making sure everything went smoothly we honestly couldn't thank her and the team for what they did for us and how relaxed they made the whole process I dont think anyone could have done it better!There truly aren't enough words to describe how accommodating and attentive they were.

- AAdrienne and Jason24/01/2025The best day of my lifeThe best day of my lifeI cannot thank Cockliffe Country House enough for making my day the best day of my life. I have been planning this wedding for the last 2 years and Cockliffe have been on this journey with me every step of the way. For the very idea I have had they have supported and brought that vision alive. The main thing for us as a couple was to have our dogs to be a big part of the day and they went beyond in help making that possible.
