Made our Family Wedding an Absolutely Perfect Day

Charlotte and Greg made our family Wedding an absolutely perfect day. Their attention to detail is amazing, everyone was very kind and helpful. The Jockey Club Rooms are a beautiful place to visit. The Equine Art on display is stunning and definitely well worth seeing.

I know we had a magical time & so did our guests

We recently had our wedding held here, & couldn’t have asked for better service from anyone there. A special thank you to Charlotte & Greg, who were beyond helpful & communicating every step of the way & making our day so incredibly special. The staff that are employed there, from the doorman to groundsman to bar staff to chambermaids to back office & everyone in between, they truly make it an exceptional experience from the moment you drive through the gates, & I can’t thank you enough.

I cannot tell you how wonderful a day it was

Good morning Charlotte & Greg I wanted to write & thank you so so much for making their day so special. You went out of your way to accommodate us all and it was just perfection. Your staff were just so kind and very helpful. Please pass on my very grateful thanks to them all. We had so many compliments about the venue The bowl food together with the canapes were totally delicious and very filling! Everyone enjoyed these & it was really great not to have a formal dinner – much more relaxing

Wedding Anniversary

We had a lovely stay at The Jackey Club Rooms to celebrate our anniversary. The room was excellent the bathroom superb and the breakfast very very good. It was lovely to eat in such a tranquil setting with very attentive service. Mariah was very helpful with all our questions as were all the staff. The bottle of Prosecco and card was a lovely touch which we enjoyed in our room to celebrate 53 years

Wonderful

Wow, this is a very nice place to stay especially if you like racing. Our room was fantastic and was superb value for money. Parking easy as well. It’s not like a traditional hotel with reception and bars but is in fantastic location. It will be my go to place when visiting again.

Exceptional

The view of the horses and stables from the room was pretty neat. Easy to walk out onto the main street of Newmarket and enjoy the town. All the hotel staff were kind and considerate. Can't go wrong!

If you’re a horse racing fan or interested in history then it’s an amazing place

It was a privilege to stay in a place with such an important role in horse racing history. It felt like staying in a country house in a bye gone era. My room was very spacious with a great shower.
