Most Amazing Wedding weekend

My husband and our families had the absolute pleasure of spending our wedding weekend at Bowden Hall hotel. Not only was their wedding package extremely reasonably priced, everything about the experience was excellent. Our families felt very well looked after, the wedding day ran so smoothly, and w had everything we needed. The food was excellent, service was excellent, and whatever we asked for was catered for. We are so glad we chose to have our special day here, and would highly recommend to

Wedding celebration stay

We attended a wedding service and celebrations at this venue. My wife and I also stayed overnight after the evening bash. The whole weekend was excellent. Lovely hotel and brilliant staff. The breakfast was excellent too. We'd definitely go back and stay again.

Thank you from Mel & Nate

Hi Vicky, Nate and I would like to thank you and your colleagues from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding such an amazing success. We had the greatest weekend, and probably one of the best days of our lives on Sunday. Your colleagues were excellent in their customer service for our entire family and they also had a great time. We will be on this high for a while to come. We are so grateful that we chose Bowden Hall to host our wedding! Thank you again so much! Mel & Nate

Wedding Day

I wanted to say a massive, massive thank you to every single person who worked or had any input into our day - it was absolutely fantastic and ran so smoothly and I recognise all of the effort that everyone put in to make that happen. I want to make a particularly special thank you to both Victoria and Rachel; we understand that there were a few tweaks we made instead of your ‘usual’ for a wedding and both of you accommodated these with professionalism and nothing was ever a problem!
