Cottesmore Hotel Golf and Country Club

We had our wedding at cottesmore hotel & golf club during spring. We absolutely loved our day here. The venue, location & staff are all brilliant. The staff couldn't do enough for us before, during & after our wedding day. The accommodation is spacious & the beds are super comfy. Was so lovely to have the spa facilities the next day too. The getting ready room was such a nice touch also. It meant myself & my girls along with hairdresser & makeup artist all had lots of room to get ready.

From start to finish Cottesmore were excellent. Their pricing was very reasonable compared to other venues that we looked at and as it is a family run business, everyone is so friendly and it feels like they genuinely care about your big day. Jackie and Julie were always very responsive - guaranteed replies within a few hours and accommodated our requests with no questions asked! The wine and food tasting ahead of the big day felt very special and allowed us to get excited for our big day.

We would recommend Cottesmore as a venue, the events team were so helpful and were happy to help at any stage of the planning and day. The barn room and wedding breakfast room were lovely and the courtyard was great with the outside bar, even in the summer rain showers. The accommodation rooms were comfy, a good size and so lovely to be able to have guests stay and then see them in the morning. The food was exceptional, from the canapés, wedding breakfast, evening hot food.

Julie and Jackie and the entire Events team at Cottesmore were brilliant. From the initial planning stages, they were responsive and supportive of all our wishes and gave us plenty of helpful suggestions, which took all the stress out of the planning such a big important event. On the wedding day, Julie was so efficient at making sure everything was perfect and did everything to ensure our day was everything that we could could’ve hoped for! We opted to have a winter wedding, but this was not a problem as the event space was very able to accommodate our guests inside as it was a very cold day. Despite this, we did still get to use the gorgeous Courtyard for our photos, as needed. The catering staff on the day were very professional and made our guests feel so at ease and catered to all our dietary needs. The food and drink provided was outstanding and we feel that this venue was very good value for money. Highly recommend Cottesmore as a wonderful wedding venue!

Cottesmore is a fantastic venue, which allowed us to have the perfect wedding. We had 150 guests with many of them staying on site, which was important for us. The venue has 25 rooms (B&B) and 7 self-cateted lodges. Our guests (and us) were very happy with the cleaniness and quality of the accommodation. The room itself remained spacious with 150 guests with ample room for more people. The event room is a great asset to Cottesmore, having the bar, tables and dancefloor in one room means, less splitting up of guests in the day for maximum interaction between everyone. The bar is well stocked with reasonable prices. Prior to the day, the events team helped us plan the details and bring the day to life. This included help with arranging the accommodation, food/meal choices, an area for the coaches to park which took our guests to the church and back, courtyard drinks, etc. The flexibility of the venue meant we could have confetti cannons in the courtyard and shot as a 'sip and sit' as guests took their seats. The food and beverage team were incredibly helpful on the day and ensured that all welcome drinks were ready for our guests, shots for the sip and sit, wine, water and toasts for the speeches and wedding breakfast. They were on hand all evening to ensure quick service at the bar too. Overall, we honestly couldn't have asked for more from Cottesmore as a venue, plus it's hard working staff. I would highly recommend having your special day at Cottesmore.

Me and my husband got married here in September, we had the most amazing day, Julie and Jackie are reliable and was always happy to answer many emails and questions. All staff were Amazing and hard working, we and our guests had the most perfect day, I would recommend Cottesmore to any bride And groom looking for a venue Cottesmore 10/10

Wow, what a wedding! We can honestly it exceeded our expectations. Where do I start? The moment I started to walk up the wedding lawn it felt truly magical and dreamlike. Literally was an actual dream come true. Before we ever picked Cottesmore, I had a dream of seeing my fiancé waiting for me surrounded by trees in beautiful sunlight. When I tell you the reality was better than the dream, I am not kidding. To hear our guests say pretty much the same thing about how magical it was, made me fully realise I wasn’t just a star struck bride. Words like ‘felt like walking on to a movie set’ and ‘thought I was in California and suddenly there’d be an ocean backdrop’ and ‘it feels like we are in Orange County’ were enough for me to know they felt it too. Everything about the ceremony was just the most ethereal, magical and emotional experience. And to see Dan’s eyes fill up because of just how beautiful the moment was incredible. Neither he nor I can stop talking about those moments. But it didn’t end there. The courtyard moments, the beautiful sound from the fountain, the smiling staff, the mix of lovely cold drinks, the canapés, hearing our music, feeling we were in a totally exclusive venue, the buggy to the lake, all so relaxed and beautiful. The Challis Suite looked amazing and beautifully cool. Although everyone had been wilting, they were all so happy, but the increase in the happy buzz was palpable thanks to the very much appreciated air-con. And our own music again - so easy to do. Then the food. Absolutely gorgeous (although Dan and I noticed only one pea each in our pea fricasse 😂😂). So many positive comments from our guests. And such warm and friendly service. The day and evening just kept going like that. Opening up the partition to reveal even more of Shelley’s styling - you could see how impressed everyone was. Like one more beautiful thing being revealed after another. A1 Disco was awesome and played all our requests and even repeated one for me when I missed it when I changed my dress. Evening food went down a storm but we over ordered!! Felt awful about the waste! Pls warn other couples not to make my mistake and although it pains me to say it (because cows and pigs etc are beautiful and gentle) the mini burgers were a hit way over the wraps. Chip mini cones were our best choice. Once again a big hit on food with our guests. Right through to our final die hard guests belting it out along with the F&B staff to Sweet Caroline on final song, it was literally the happiest and best day of our lives. We could not have hoped for anything better. We had looked at several Sussex based venues before we visited Cottesmore. We instantly loved its beautiful setting and laid back, country barn-like style. It was super modern inside but that blended beautifully with the rustic courtyard and walkway to the wedding lawn. We wanted so much to have an outdoor ceremony, but we had several other boxes we needed to tick - not least of all we needed enough rooms to cater for several of our guests to stay overnight - plus, with some travelling long distance, we wanted somewhere where they (and us) could stay the night before. As soon as we left after our first visit we knew this was the venue for us. The wedding lawn is beautiful but there is also the indoor barn room which really IS barnlike with its open beamed ceiling. Luckily, we had the most gorgeous weather on our wedding day, so our dream outdoor ceremony went ahead. The little horsebox bar in the courtyard is lovely and they personalise it for you on the day so it really feels like it’s yours. The courtyard is closed off with a private event sign, so you really feel like you have exclusive use. Taking the buggy up to the lake for photographs really does get you the most amazing pictures. Our photographer even grabbed us later after our meal to take some further pictures in the taller grassy area and never once are you made to feel like you are at a golf club and 'shouldn't be there'. The entire venue has a lovely modern laid back feel and any guest would be as at home in a tail suit or tuxedo as they would in chinos and a shirt. All the staff are so lovely and helpful. Jackie and Julie are simply outstanding – replying to emails so quickly and always reassuringly calm and organised. They definitely know what they are doing. The staff on the day were so kind and lovely to us, with the F&B manager even helping me to bustle my dress. Our food was really delicious, and every little change and dietary need was catered for. We had opted to have a bar tab so that all our guests could have a drink of choice. We wish now we had made more of a point of reminding everyone as not all bar staff seemed to be aware and some of our guests ended up paying for drinks where others didn’t and this was quite early on so it really depended on who was serving. My advice would be that if you do have bar tab, ask that all the serving staff are aware and remind your guests during the speech. We had told ours in our invitations, but they were obviously too polite on the day to say anything when ordering their drinks. This was the only little glitch, and I blame myself for not being more vocal about it on the day. If you are considering Cottesmore for your wedding then just go for it. You won’t be disappointed. We had the most amazing, perfect day that we will never forget. Cottesmore will always have a special place in our hearts and we will be back to celebrate our anniversary and reminisce about the most incredible happy day ever.

The day was perfect in every single way!

We recently got married and honestly just the most lovely perfect venue. We were blessed with great weather on our day too! All staff are amazing so friendly and this venue has the views, amazing scenery to get married outside or a lovely barn room to get married inside, just everything you need :) sad its over!

We can’t thank the events team at the Cottesmore enough for how special they made our day. From the moment we booked, communication with responsive. Jackie and Julie were available to discuss details and offer their advice. The food and service were top class too. We really had the most wonderful day and highly recommend the Cottesmore as a wedding venue!
