We got married early September here and held both our ceremony and party on the grounds. The venue is beautiful as were the rooms. The wedding breakfast, canapés and morning after breakfast was absolutely delicious and the staff were so polite and lovely to talk to and be served by. Had got accesability for both prams and wheelchairs users in my family and really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.

What an amazing day! Judds Folly was the perfect setting for our big day. Carlie and the team there were nothing short of amazing! Nothing was to much trouble in the lead up and on the day. Carlie guided us through the planning keeping us on the right side of realistic and giving us all the confidence we needed she was also great in dealing with our 2 very excited little ones. She made sure the day went without a hitch. The outside setting was great for the ceremony. And the bar/dining room/ patio added different dimensions to the space without feeling too separated. The food was delicious for both the sit down meal and the hot and cold buffet for the reception. Everyone who came has given us great feedback. I would highly recommend.

We spent three nights in the hotel last week, including the dog. Crackers would give it 5 star as she just loved her breakfasts of Cumberland sausage -she ignored the scrambled egg as the sausage was very much to her liking. …
