Barnett Hill Hotel

Where do we even begin? From the moment we first visited Barnett Hill, we knew it was special. After touring countless venues and leaving each one feeling underwhelmed, Barnett Hill stood out in every possible way. The entrance hallway, the endless well kept grounds and greenery surround, it was the perfect setting for our English Summer Garden wedding. The planning process was seamless thanks to the incredible team. They were responsive, organised, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. When we had to reschedule our tasting, they were so accommodating, and the tasting itself was such a fun way to get us excited for the wedding! We were treated so well and enjoyed some of the best food we’ve ever had. A huge thank you to Bronwyn for making that day so special. Every single member of staff, from the bar team to reception, to those working behind the scenes, was exceptional. Special thanks to Gemma, our wonderful wedding planner, and Lajos, our event manager on the day - your professionalism and warmth made all the difference. No query was ever too big or small. Our ceremony took place outside on the lawn, with a live band playing us down the aisle - something we always wanted and BH were able to accommodate it so easily. The drinks reception on the terrace was wonderful, with delicious canapés and a fantastic selection of drinks (which again I changed a few times and it was no problem), all while our band played on. The grounds were stunning and made for the most beautiful photo backdrops. Dinner in the Garden Suite was another highlight. We were initially concerned it might feel tight with 80 guests plus photographers, but it was absolutely perfect, it felt so intimate without being cramped, and ideal for speeches and conversation. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which meant we could host our evening reception outdoors. We had a dancefloor put under the stretch tent during our wedding breakfast, the DJ was set up outside, and it flowed so nicely between the bar and dancefloor. We had late-night pizza served by Barnett Hill’s caterers. Guests are still raving about the food, especially the canapés and pizza! it was everything we dreamed of and more. One of the best decisions we made was hiring out the entire venue. It was surprisingly reasonable compared to other venues, and it meant the celebration didn’t have to end early. With all our guests staying on-site, the party continued into the night without anyone needing to rush off. It made the whole day feel longer, more relaxed, and incredibly special. Lots of our wedding guests also stayed the night before which was nice because it almost felt like a little mini get together the night prior! We had drinks and food and that’s another thing that set it apart from your usual wedding venues. If there is one take away from this, you will not be disappointed! Due to the venue and grounds being so beautiful, you really don’t even need to go overboard on flowers, or d

We stayed only 1 night. Loved the beautiful grounds and gardens. We booked a snug single room plus a double room. The double room was on the lower floor and had no views. It looked out into the car park area, that was disappointing. The snug single bedroom was on the top floor, small but has a bath tub. The beds and bed linens were super comfortable . Would have enjoyed our sleep but the room was rather warm and stuffy once windows were closed. Buffet breakfast served was continental style. Food and Coffee were self serviced. Overall, found the rooms clean, a little small, furniture to be a bit dated. Staff was friendly and helpful, a bit short handed. Was told that the chef was on leave and we only had a limited bar and grill menu to order our dinner from. The steak was great. We felt that for the rates charged were reasonable and acceptable for our stay there. It is not a luxurious accommodation but decent for a short stay.
